I fell utterly apart this morning. Too tired, too sore and a bit sad, too. In my defence, after a week of teeth-gritted sprinting-to-the-finishline (aka The Bean Counter not having to work late Friday night or the Sunday graveyard, Farm Girl nailing her first Chemistry Lab, and The Engineer finishing her last week of work-with+a-paycheck all being celebrated with a meal of baked macaroni cheese and garlic bread washed down by vat of pinot gris) the finishline was unceremoniously moved and I didn’t handle it well. Yep, The Bean Counter finished at 10pm on Friday and, for the third time in a row, will work all night Sunday.
The family decided it best I retire to my boudoir for the day but that didn’t stop the work progressing. This week Saturday in the Making they;;
✓ dealt with the sad job of burying two menagerie members, a chicken and a lamb. We’re still not sure what happened in the sheep paddock overnight.
✓ cleaned up the shelterbelt trimmings
After a lot of sleep and a fish and chip dinner, I’m back on track. Hope your Saturday was a little more dignified than mine.

I am very sorry to hear that you were overturned, not to mention the menagerie disaster. I hope that is a one off. Take care.
I get run over by life sometimes….but I bounce back 😊
Saturday here was actually not raining, so we walked/rolled to the village to get a few things from the grocery store. Watched some of the Paralympics(Canada got three medals today!) and read a few chapters of a good book. Huge stew in the crock pot and husband tried his hand at making scones, with great success. An episode of My Life is Murder, and a few pieces in the current jigsaw. Seems like a wasteful day in some ways, but it was a needed rest.
Sounds like a wonderful day – and a scone making husband….does it gets any better?!
I too am sorry to hear about your day that went gang aft aglay, and hope that things right themselves soon.
Thanks, Dawn. It happens to thd best of us 😊
Glad to read you are back on track and have such wonderful helpers. Sorry about the chicken and the lamb.
It’s never easy losing menagerie members: unexplained deaths are the worst
Hmmm, is the Bean Counter re-considering his career options?
I think it’s more a matter of waiting it out now.
