I am so sick and tired of this cold I have it isn't even funny. Usually you get a cold and in about a week you get over it. I first come down with symptoms on the 13th of December and I still am not over the damn thing. It's the damnedest thing, I start to feel better than I have a relapse and feel worse again and my throat has been hurting like mad. Today I am on an upward spiral again. I feel better this morning than I did yesterday morning but how long will it last?
At this point I would give about anything to feel better. Working when you feel like this is so hard. It drains all the energy out of you but you need to continue on. Luckily the cows have been easy to take care of. We've been caking them and starting to hay a little bit which isn't too hard. Working on the addition to the house has really been draining though. About the time I got sick I finally got someone hired to build a mud room on my house.
I'm not a carpenter so I was clueless but this guy has really been doing a good job and I have been working alongside of him to try to help get the job done and the cost down. This cold has really made this tough but we are about done. Just some trim and interior work to do and the room will be finished. I have been looking for somebody for over 10 years to do this project. This isn't the first guy to show an interest, but he is the only guy willing to come out here and do the job. I've learned a lot about carpentry watching and helping him. I might have learned more if i wouldn't have been in a daze most of the time but what the hey, the job is getting done.
Cattle are doing great and so is the family. Everybody has had the cold but it has knocked me worse than anybody and they are mostly over it now. I'm the only one still lingering.
A family is a unit composed not only of children but of men, women, an occasional animal, and the common cold. Ogden Nash

Tired

Dry and Brown
We gathered the replacement heifers today to preg check them on Saturday. I wanted to get them in early enough so I wouldn't be rushing. I though I would have no hired hand but now I do so it could have waited but what the hell, stick with your plans. Usually I like to get some pictures while I do something like this. It is so brown and dry I am having a hard time getting any inspiration for pictures. I will keep trying to get some while I work along but some rain and a little bit of green would sure help the monotonous colors out there. It will come, I just don't know when.

Energy Crisis
I'm tired. I don't know if it is everything catching up with me or what the deal is but I'm tired. I could talk about the Primary election coming up, in which I all ready voted, but I'm too tired to. I could talk about the disingenuous way in which petition gatherers are working at getting signatures in Montana, it really makes you wonder about the issues when they have to lie so to get people to sign them, but I don't have the energy.
There are a couple of interesting stories about the tight market for employees in the area and how even kids are making a good wage. It just goes to show you how the theory of supply and demand really does work and could stand a long discussion on it and it's affect on me trying to find someone decent to work here, but no energy on my part for it.
I could also talk about Montana's own Terrorist hunter who is profiled in the Washington Post today, but reading about the hours she keeps really makes me lose energy.
I really wish I knew why my energy levels are so down. I'll just keep trudging along and I will return to my former levels eventually, unless I'm to tired to. We'll see.
Every evening, I come home tired and have just enough energy to fill out the endless tax forms, to pay bills, not to let my house neglected and to hear the radio concert for an hour. Fritz Zwicky
