I am waiting for the vet to come put down my old Honey cow. She is sixteen, I got her as a birthday gift when I was nine. It is just her time.

I'm sorry Dona, it's part of life, but that doesn't take away the loss.

I expect this whole week to be very quiet.

No conference calls all week. I'm covering for two of my coworkers who are using up vacation days, but I still think no one will call.

So, quiet day at home.

Well, it is silly. SB just lost her father, and here I am crying my eyes out over a cow.
AND I have a pet BULL CALF (completely useless!) named Boots!
Sometimes I do not think I am cut out to be a farmer.

Dona, we are all very sad for SB and her loss.

But, losing a pet is hard too. It hurts.

Don't beat yourself up. A good cry can help you feel better.

Hugs to you.

Sorry about your cow, Dona.

My cold has moved from my eyes to my nose. But I only gained two pounds over the holidays. So there's that. DH is working today, and the boys are going to a friend's house later. They have two cats so we'll see how these allergy shots are working for #2.

 Normally, but hey go to market when they are just a day or two old. But Boots had a problem where his feet were severely curled in, and he couldn't walk at all, and he had a nueralogical issue as well. So, me and another worker rigged him up a pair of splints, hobbled him to prevent him from further injuring his hips, and loaded him up with vitimin B. 

The official story is, his legs are so baday twisted he wouldn't sell for much so there is no point in selling him.

 

But really, it is because his name is Boots, amd he is a fighter.

Good morning.

SB, I'm so sorry for your loss. Heartbreaking. Sending prayers your way.

Dona, losing a pet is never easy. I'm so sorry.

This is day three of the "bug". Last night was the night from hell. Just kill me know..

DH has it as well. He's home for the day, hoping to recover so he can go to work tomorrow.

The weather is cold! Between the fever and the cold outside, I'm not sure I will ever be warm again.

Stay safe geeks. The weather is frightening all over the country.

Afternoon everyone. I am the only one here today & the morning started out quite busy but now it has slowed down.

SB I am very sorry for your loss.

Dona I'm sorry for yours as well.

Czech sorry you caught the bug. I hope you weren't sick on Christmas.

Afternoon ya'll.

SB, you and your family are in my prayers.

DONA, I'm sorry about Honey.

I never got attached to any of our livestock but they were fun and I never got quite comfortable with raising them just to eat them. It's hard to take a life.

Everywhere else is cold but here I think. It's 72 and another front is pushing in. Lots of wind and rain. More flash flooding.

Hope everyone has a peaceful day.

I am watching "No Escape," which is very cheesy! I am also baking cranberry-orange mini loaves (from a MIX).

Czech, I'm SO so sorry. I hope you guys start to feel better.

Lilac Hill Honey has officially joined her daughters Honeysuckle Hope and Heart o Honey Faith, granddaughters Soft Peaceful Twilight and Lady Francis Flurry, and great granddaughter, the dearly beloved Sweet Potato Pi in the meadows of cow heaven.
She is survey by granddaughters Perigina Grace and Serenity Joy, and great granddaughters Firefly Wishes, Starship Bliss, and Gentle Blessing.

I always wanted her to have a third heifer calf, and to name her Sweet Charity, so I could have the three, Faith, Hope, an5d Charity, like from the poem. It was never to be.

You're in a tough business. 

In my career I've dealt with humans at their most vulnerable stages, but almost all were being made better so they could have improved quality of life. In some ways it's challenging seeing the inside of people ... but the reward is that in most cases what i did helped make them better once they were reassembled. 'If I had to do what you do, I don't know if I could handle all the letting-go.

Thank you for sharing that tribute to a very dear animal.

WTH??? Boss' wife walks in, says "it's hot in here", changes all the AC to blast cold, and then immediately leaves. So, I'm freezing. I shut the door and turned on my space heater. Who does that? You don't work here, you aren't staying, and those that work here have been fine.

 I can't.  The control is in boss' office, and he'll take it as an insult to his wife.  (I cannot explain how this makes sense, it just does).

Mom does that.

She turned the air on in my end and then went back into her end.

Then she comes back to my end and says it's cold.

She's either passive-aggressive,  or overtly aggressive. She knows what she's doing.

She's either passive-aggressive,  or overtly aggressive. She knows what she's doing.

 

 She's insecure and has to make her presence known.  Her husband works with an office full of women - he's the only man.

Snow is moving in. I've brought in enough wood for tonight and tomorrow. After the snow departs it turns to freezing rain/ice, etc. I have a loaner car. Dropped mine off for an inspection today plus to have the damage assessed from when I was rear ended. They need to have the car tomorrow to complete the assessment so gave me a 328i to drive. OMG this car is soooo comfy, I love it!

Sounds like she wants all the women in the office to cover up.

 I've always been interested in the "bubble houses".

They withstand hurricane winds and rain, are fire proof and can be cleaned with a waterhose.

I have the apartment to myself and it feels gooooooooooood!!! I sent DH and DS off on errands. DH didn't have a choice in taking DS. I wanted to catch up on one of my shows so I told him he needs some Daddy-Son time. Besides, he can use the company while doing errands.

DS very much enjoyed all of his new toys he got for Christmas and his birthday. I can't believe he's 2. Time flies way too fast.
