Tuesday morning.
Where do I start? Last Friday my employee sent me a text, yes a text message, to tell me he was quitting the job at the end of the month. I don't know if I was more upset about the text itself or the content of the message lol!
Life is going to be miserable. I know from experience that is it very hard to find help on the farm and I will have to be alone here for a while. And winter is the high season. Since January 1st I've received more than a thousand head, and more are on their way... Way too much work for me alone.
My finals are in two months. I need to study very hard and with my practicum hours, I do not have time to work two jobs. I will not compromise my studies...
I am trying to stay calm. Yesterday in a moment of panic I started to look for places to rent (I was thinking about running away from this mess) but I couln't find any place where dogs are accepted. Does that mean I have to get rid of my dog? I don't own much in life. My books, my dog and my gym equipment. And none of them fit in the places around here... or I can't afford the rent.
I know everything will work out at the end, but right now it is quite stressful.
The class last weekend went well, I am not too happy with my exams 90% at the written test and 93% at the massage practice. Oh well, I will do better next time!
Exercise was not on the menu these last days, I ate well but didn't take time to record my food.
Have a great week buddies!

I can't imagine 'getting rid' of my dogs, although if my own employment situation doesn't turn around soon, I may have to bite the bullet and be willing to relocate, leaving them behind with my housemate here until I find a way back. Good luck finding more help, and keep on those studies :)

You really are in a constant state of change lately! I know it can be very stressful but it seems these changes are leading you to a better place, probably even the changes that don't seem so helpful at the moment. Not too happy with marks in the 90's? You're being way too hard on yourself! Those are fantastic marks - be proud! Good luck working out the issues with the farm. Things do have a way of working out. Hang in there!

Oh, Bloodaxe, there is no way I would give my dog away!! I was just so surprised to see that many places to rent and none "pet-friendly".

Evelyn, thank you, I expected better marks and the mistakes I made were silly and avoidable...

Don't let those test scores add to your stress, you should be proud of the scores. I see they were avoidable mistakes but its still an A!

You did amazing Anne. What do you mean you were not happy? You are too hard on yourself. I can't believe this guy texted you. Didn't someone else quit a couple years back during the exact same time? You can't do all this work yourself. It is just too much especially in the winter. I hope you find someone soon. That's awful that you can't find somewhere that they allow pets. You have just started looking. Keep looking something will come up. You have been talking about quitting this a long time now. It is so hard to make this decision when this has been your life for so long. I hope the answers come to you but in the meantime try not to get too stressed. Hugs!!
