The absurd, dear Dax, is if you eat proper good you will HAVE the energy to prepare it! Believe me that always that we seat to eat I remember you....
it's that I haven't learned did not be so over committed and work so hard. it's not just the physical energy, it's just a can't deal with anymore. My alarm goes off at 4:15 in the morning at the latest so that I can get up and ready, feed babies, milk goats, take care of the rest of the chores, get the fire going, and feed the babies again before do I go to work for 12 hours. Then when I get home in the evening first thing I have to do is feed the babies then go out of milk does come in and put the milk in to pasteurize, put the laundry associated with the baby goats in the laundry, go back out to feed the bucks, does, horse, chickens, cows, and barn cat. then I come back in and deal with the pasteurized milk get the milk ready to feed the babies again do all the associated dishes. Then I have a few minutes between when I have that done and I need to feed them again before I go to bed. In theory in that time I could cook a meal on do more dishes but there's always things to do around the house and I'm just done by then so it doesn't happen.
I have been trying to find a college student who would be willing to live for free who would either be interested in helping with some of the stuff outside or some of the stuff inside and exchange for a place to live but I don't want just anybody so I don't advertise so so far that's not happened.
I am very hopeful that we get the property in Alaska sold this year. If I can take my mortgage and expenses way down then I want shorter hours at work. Or just a different job. I also have to decide at some point this year exactly how many goats I can reasonably manage and if I'm going to get rid of the CAE does that are more work to keep it from spreading.
