Who needs work/life balance?

Hello friends!

So, I’m just going to apologize now for the length and relative lack of information in this update, and the overall lack of quality, I am really phoning this one in. I am truly buried in work. Like, my shortest day in the last two and a half weeks was 14 hours and I haven’t had a weekend. Unfortunately that means I am currently writing this on my phone while I wait for some quick food to cook before heading off to bed.

My company is usually really anti-crunch culture, which I am so grateful for, but we got some wires crossed and a third party company breathing down our necks so unfortunately I very suddenly got absolutely buried in deadlines.

I haven’t been super involved in farm life lately, but I can give you some highlights and we can catch up in the next one for sure. Luckily it’s still early spring so things are just starting to wake up.

To start, I’m very proud of Miss Nellie, who tried on her mask multiple times with no fuss at all. She’s such a gem. She would be wearing It right now if it weren’t for the fact that they are shedding and her face is so itchy. I was a little worried about her catching it on something while scratching if I left it on, and I really don’t want a traumatic experience with the mask at this stage. Well, at any stage. If we could just avoid trauma that’d be great, thanks.

We’ve started cleaning out the garden so we can actually plant things, but the overnight freezing is still going strong so we haven’t planted anything yet. I’m excited though, we are so close!

I have a new cousin! My cousin had a kiddo, a little girl, and we are all super excited to meet her. Hoping to get formal introductions on Easter.

Speaking of, I’m still hosting Easter, which is just such colossally bad timing with all this work stuff going on. I have negative amounts of time. But I host every year so at least it’s fairly routine. I’m just really hoping for good weather so we can be outside. And that I don’t have to work, I am going to be so annoyed if I have to work Easter Sunday.

Well, my timer has gone off so my soup and toast and I are off to go watch an episode of Good Eats before going to bed. Wish me luck on these deadlines, and for a calmer April!

Until we chat again, my friends!
