Day 11

So for all of you that are dying to see pictures, I have them at the bottom of my blog page.  I know its kind of a pain, but that was an easy place to put them.  Sorry.  I think i need to start going to bed earlier.  I know I won't, but I think I need to.  I woke up at 705 today and was just exhausted.  Take it, yesterday was a very long day, but still.  So i woke up and went down for breakfast.  Lately, I have just been eating some granola for breakfast with whole milk, ew, but today I was getting nauseous just at the thought of it.  So i meandered around the kitchen, while I waited for Will to come down and make me something.  As I heard footsteps I took out the milk, as a decoy. Oh Will good morning what're you having for breakfast.  Mornin' do you want me to scramble some eggs up for you.  Yes, I would like that very very much.  Muahaha.  So i finished breakfast and got started on my morning rounds.  It was raining when I went out so I put on my rubber pants.  I filled up my JD and started the morning.  Nothing new with the rounds, just and monotonous and strung out as always.  The only good thing is that I get faster and faster at it every time.  After i got all of the eggs, I started to wash them, and Will came in and told me we had to move some of the goats to new pastures.  So we each got canes and started to heard lead them in the direction of the new pasteur.  I had heard about fainting goats but I wasn't sure if I had ever seen one.  Until today.  So we rounded them up, and got them outside the gate, and as soon as I started to round them up with my cane a few in the back seemed to be paralyzed.  I thought something was wrong but Will was just cracking up hysterically.  The fainting goats, have some sort of disorder where they aren't able to move their back legs in correspondence with their front legs, and for that period they fall over, hence fainting goats.  It was sad at first, but its kind of cute actually haha.  So we rounded them up, and got them to where they needed to go, and I went back to washing eggs.  After I finished my eggs, Will told me we had to go pick up the chickens that had been slaughtered.  The chickens that I caught from the a couple days ago.  Weird that I was catching them to get slaughtered, because from my standpoint it felt like i was slaughtering them already.  So we went into the truck and took a ride into Waynesboro, Pennsylvania to pick up our chickens from an Amish butcher...classic.  Now I know what Dan is doing while I'm slaving away with the chickens.  Unfair.  On the way to the butcher shop, I was falling in and out of consciousness. Now i don't know if anyones ever been in the position where you are in the passenger seat, and you can't keep your eyes open, but you shouldn't fall asleep; if you haven't then great, but if you have then you can share my pain.  Every time you miraculously wake back up, you insecurely pretend you were awake the whole time and maybe move around a little bit to try and confuse the driver.  But they always know.  This probably happened 5 times on the way to the butcher shop.  I always am a renowned car sleeper, so that might have helped my dozing off as well.   After we picked up the chickens we stopped to get chicken sandwiches at a sub shop.  Strange juxtaposition.  And then we stopped at a now famous chocolate shop, Zoe's, to pick up a box of chocolates or various flavors because it is Will's secret delicacy.  We got back to the farm, and right then I followed Will in a truck while he drove his scion to the repair shop.  This was the first time I had driven since I had been back in PV, and it was nice.  I miss driving.  Driving is always a nice time to think about certain things, especially when you are driving by yourself.  I have always had a liking to driving by myself, because I don't have to keep conversations, or please the other persons in the car with music.  I actually made a habit of whenever I would drive home from hanging out at a friends house, or hanging out with a memorable girl, to stop right in between two houses on my street, and take in the view for a good 20 seconds and think back to the night I just had.  I have done that routine too many times to count.  Anyways so I followed him there and then took him back home.  After that it was a pretty easy day, I just did the afternoon rounds and collected eggs, and washed them, and put them away, and that was it.  finished at 5 and took an awesome shower, and got my computer and relaxed.  Not a very eventful day, but just what I needed, so with that I am off. Nighty.
