How does the time go by so quickly? A few things have changed around here. Tim has a new job. One he's been been trying to get for awhile. A driving job again but not over the road. We didn't want to do that at this point in our lives. When we were young it was fine. Anyway....now the job is two things he has always made fun of. JB and chicken haulers. So he's drives for JB and contracts to live haul chickens for George's ....ha! It's working out great so far. Good wages and day shift for the most part. It is flexible so the start times vary from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m....throws my day to day schedule into a spiral but what the heck. I've not got anything else to do. He is really enjoying it. He is at work within 3-4 minutes from leaving! First time that has ever happened. We have always lived in the country and he had to commute for at least half an hour and up to 2 hrs 15 min. . It is really nice.
Just found another old post that was sitting in drafts. Hit publish after glancing at it. Probably repeating myself. Some days are stones. lol

The heat is on......
beginning week two three of high temps and high humidity. Whew! Trying to get yard work done in this heat is tough on an old lady. Can work a couple of hours very early in the morning and then I'm done. That's okay. I'm grateful that I can do that.
Got the back yard mowed this morning and the rest of the chores done and back in the house by 9 a.m... a little worried about Buck's feet. Goodness, poor old fella has had a couple of cracks in the front hooves and now they have worn off and they seem so short. They don't seem to be bothering him at all but wow! they look so short. He is such a sweety.

I'd like to say that I've been too busy to post but I'd be lying. Just haven't had anything to say. Trying to keep ahead of the yard in between the rain and the heat. Tim changing jobs and the stress that crap brings to my head haha.....I am so relieved that he is no longer having to breathe that toxic air 10-12 hours a day! Back to where he wants to be- driving. This flexible swing shift is kinda weird after 13 years of getting up at 3:30-4:00 a.m. . now it's different every day. One day he has to be there at noon, another day 1 and then this morning it was 6:30! It's now 9 pm and he isn't back yet. Go truckers! lol He may have to work tomorrow (Sat) which is unusual for them to run a weekend shift. It could be so much worse. Could be that he had to go back over the road. I'm tickled to death we were able to hold out til he could get this job.
