T.G.I.F.

katie looks & acts like she feels much better, she is eating again, her nose is still red & sore, but you can't hear her gasping for air like she was...they had the day off school for teacher inservice or something & she was so happy to feel good enough to go out & play, she snuck into the pasture to climb her tree while I was at work, when I got home we fed the dogs & cats & took a walk at the park, then I took pictures of her shooting hoops.
the new barns not 2 horrible, I kind of know what I'm supposed to be doing...one week I will breed, the next week I will shoot groups of sows, load rooms, hang cards, help wean, etc. one week down, a bunch more to go. I get the next 3 weekends off, since they want me to take the asst. mgrs. weekend, which is this weekend, & they're not making me work since I've only been there a week & I would be farrowing, which I haven't properly trained for in this barn...this will give me an ungodly like 7 or 8 weekends off straight, I will be like a person with a normal job.
the 1st weekend I work there, Katie is dancing at a benefit in Ridgeway, I don't know what time yet,hopefully at nite (I'll just have to work something out)...they are telling me horror stories of being in the barn until 6p.m. weekends, during the week there are 9 people there, on the weekend only 3...which means LOTS of work for the 3 involved. quite honestly, I miss my quiet clean pig free barn, my rain suit, & the power washer wand. the dust & the flies....ugh.
it's a quiet Friday nite, no friends over to watch wrestling with KJ. katie & I laid on my bed under the covers & watched The Corpse Bride...one of us may have caught a little nap. maybe.
tomorrow she has 2 birthday parties, she'll spend the nite @ Mackenzie's...both girls are having their parties at Bethany Skating Rink (she thinks...?) at the same time. Sunday is the 4-H swimming party at Princeton.
Sat. nite KJ's class is having a soup supper at school to raise money for prom. so, I'll be there hanging with the cool crowd.
