maystone: (Jesus is coming by iconomicon)
I've been hella busy, and I can't say that I'm loving it. Mostly I'm doing a lot of running around, because my car has been off the road for about five days now. (I need new brakes. Not sure when that's actually going to happen.) I drive Mark into work in Waterloo so we can have the Jeep, and then I run errands - including some that take me back to Waterloo/Kitchener - and then I drive back into Waterloo in the evening and pick Mark up again. I figured that on three days this week, I'll be putting in 200 miles a day behind the wheel. It's gonna be a long week, and next week we have shearing Mon-Wed. Plus Dar has to travel into Toronto for that meeting. By next Thursday you'll find me curled up in a fetal position. Or else clutching a bazooka. It's a crapshoot.

I'm just tired, you know? And bitchy and cranky :) Dar sent me to the internet to look up Post Concussion Syndrome, knowing that if I read it on the internet then I'll believe that it must be true. Heh. And yeah, that's what I have. Headaches. Fatigue. The usual stuff. Joy. Apparently it can last for three months, and for some very unlucky individuals it can go on like that for years. Sigh. All from a stupid crack on the head.

So. Gertie still hasn't cranked out the cria yet. Although it's looking more and more imminent. This evening when I was feeding the guys, she went into the barn instead of jostling with the others for the fresh grain. That's very unGertie-like. Dar said that she noticed that Gertie's udders are swollen, too. All the signs are pointing to a criation (no really, that's what they call it), but then Gertie is a stubborn old broad; she just may hold onto that little cria for another month. Just to watch us go batshit :)

I got out to the barn later than usual tonight (Dar was going to do it, but then her ulcer really kicked in), and the sun was setting before I was finished. The good thing about that is that I got some decent photos, and I got to watch bunnies frolicking. Frolicking, I say. Two of them right outside the fence to the paddock. They were jumping over each other in a game of bunny leapfrog and scampering around each other like they were playing tag. Absolutely freakin' adorable. Did I have my camera at the ready? I did not. By the time I retrieved it from the barn, the games were over, but I did catch one of the bunnies anyway. It's not a great shot because the sun was going down, but there you have it. Or you will have it under the cut *g*.
Twilight around here. And some mutant tulips. )
