Tickle the tonsils ... I think not!!

I managed to make it through tonight at work. With hardly a voice at all. I had to use it when required and so I will be surprised if I have any voice at all tomorrow! And I get to work all day tomorrow in grooming ... I know my voice won't last that long if I have one tomorrow. And I get to return on Friday to do it all over again. Eye yi yi!!
I then came home and ate MANY popsicles after eating my supper. My throat is so irritated. But I survived. They let me off the hook as much as they could. I found time to do a lot of other things that actually helped them out in the end. We are so totally short staffed right now. Amanda Sermons has the Swine Flu (per her doctor's note), Tina is sick with something and on holiday for the next week. Then me with no voice. So we are hurting for people.
Scott bought us some books. Two hobby farm books and a beekeeping book. He wants to do beekeeping now on top of a large garden. I will look into it to see what is involved and think about it. It would be neat to make our own honey. Make it and send it out to family. Would make a great Christmas gift!! LOL But sounds like a lot of work from one website I found. But of course if all goes well, I will remain home and that will be my job. So we shall see. Scott will be going to school so it will be mainly me doing a lot of these things we are looking at doing. But I think it could be very satisfying to be successful at it. Being more self sufficient. Couldn't imagine myself looking at trying to do the things we are thinking about doing several years ago. I was very dependent upon things given to us, being dependent on grocery stores, etc. I have a tendency to try and do things more on my own. Have even gotten to the point where eating out just doesn't cut it for me taste wise. Not very self satisfying. It is a good thing as we will not have much money once Scott retires. That is scary but not really. I will be totally scared once we get to IL and see the shape his mom's house is and see how much work needs to be done on it!! LOL I will probably panic at first but then roll up my sleeves and do what needs to be done. I will be glad to see the house and have the wondering over. And I will be jobless after then too ... that is kind of scary!! LOL
Well, I am going to shut it down for the evening. At least I am doing better with the blogging thing! I know I don't write much to entertain but then again, it is more for me than anything I guess. I haven't really told anyone but my sister about it. I think it will be a good avenue for me to keep my adventures in IL documented!! LOL Good night to all!! Smiles!
