Out of sorts...

Had a stressful day at work yesterday.. And, to top it off, the gray hair clump that appeared... That was bad.  Stood straight up on my head, due to the dry air.  Anyway, after work, I did the usual chores/errands.  One of my Cheviot ewes is very lean, I can't see that she is pregnant, but maybe.  I doubt it.  This would be bad.  I pretty much accepted that they were all bred.  Sure would like to know, but I haven't got a sonogram machine anywhere handy, so I guess I will just have to wait and see... which is not my forte.

Am getting lower on hay, and want to wait until I have a little less so there is somewhere to put the hay I have, when I get another load.  I have to get someone to help me, maybe Charlie.  I have a truck and trailer. I cannot buck all those bales though, as my back just can't hack it.  Last time I moved a lot of bales it was five weeks before my back recovered.  I am not a wuss, just know my limitations.  I am going to see if my brother is game to trade in the two old 2 wd tractors for one decent 4 wd with a loader... we shall see if that idea gets any traction... sure would be a God send to me.

Have used a lot of oil this winter... I think I may need to get another delivery before spring, which stinks.  Maybe not... I keep it down to 58, but when it's so cold outside, well, you use oil... 

Woke up totally stressed about work and with a neck ache.  First thing I did was let the dogs out and get some Aleve in me.  I need to learn to let things go.  Can be hard though.  I made pancakes this morning, and now here I sit, waiting a bit before I head out to feed the sheep.  They are getting two full bales a day now, and 7 lbs of grain.  This is still not even 1/2 lb per sheep.  My one biggest Border Leicester ewe is quite heavy.  They were not sheared this year, I don't think, so they are very woolly.  They all seem very happy and healthy, judging by their running every where...

I may actually go lay down before I head out to the farm. I am tired, have a head ache and am sort of out of sorts...
