Good morning! This morning looks
a lot like yesterday morning did: grey, rainy, and very soggy in the goat pen.
Aside from the fact that I’d really like to clean the goat shed, I’m perfectly
happy for another such day.
Interestingly, today is the
first day this week that it wasn’t a chore getting up at 6:00. I think that’s
because I got up at 5:00 to wake Amena and Joanna up and just didn’t go back to
bed because today is my on-call doula day. I got Kitty and Scooter fed and
lunches put together in less than half an hour and then it took almost half an
hour to get the goats fed because it’s raining and I didn’t want to give them
their food in the pen. Five goats in the shed take up a lot more room than
three did even though one of them is still relatively small.
Then it was time to call the
hospital and nothing is happening: no one currently in labor and no inductions
scheduled. If I haven’t gotten a call by 1:30, I’ll leave to go get our next
new goat from New Hampshire.
Yesterday wasn’t much of a day.
I mean, you know, I didn’t get a whole lot accomplished. Everyone got off to
school without incident. Paul got off to work without incident. I read for a
bit before I got ready to visit with Liz. We had a good visit and I didn’t get
home until about 1:30. Then I read a bit more and helped Joanna with a project
for school. That was kind of fun other than the fact I haven’t read her book
and really couldn’t help her with some of the questions.
Julia stopped by to get some
NaOH and palm oil on her way home from her parents’ house yesterday. She is
going to be making soap all on her own today which she is excited about. She’s
been back and forth a lot for work and her parents because her mom was/is
having some problems. She has always had a troubled relationship with her mother
but during the past week had an epiphany moment and now has a better
understanding as to why and is at peace with the situation. A marvelous thing,
from the sounds of it.
I really did not want to go to
church last night. All we had planned was cleaning the church and planning for
mother’s day. Neither of those took any time to speak of; we were pretty much
done by 8:00. Of course, it took a while to get out and home but still . . . .
Today, since there isn’t anyone
for me to be at the hospital for me to be with, I might send Julia a message to
let her know if she has questions I’ll be home. I have a book to read and
general domestic things to do. Should be pretty exciting.
Have a terrific day!
Just for fun, I thought I'd add this:
