Then Life Got Really Out of Control

So my plans for what I would be doing at this stage in the season got messed up. First there is the kitten.

Right now, he is still at the age where he needs constant supervision so either my wife or I need to be with him. Being with him means, downstairs because we want to give the other two cats time to adjust and space to do that – thus my wife can’t just bring the kitten up to her studio.

This means that I can’t just go out and fix the fence to make sure the sheep don’t break out again unless she can afford to spend the time watching him. There are a number of these ‘little’ projects that exist which instead of getting down in a day or two get drawn out for long periods of time.

Then there is the fact that today my wife goes in for jaw surgery. It’s minor and for arthritis but it will still change the way things have to be done around here for a number of days as she recuperates.

Then yesterday my truck stopped working – so now instead of fixing the fence Saturday, I have to work on the truck… which didn’t die in my driveway but my in-laws. It is saying there is a fuel filter issue and is certainly behaving that way except… I just replaced the fuel filter because it was doing this very thing. Replacing the filter worked for a week then the same condition started up again, until getting bad enough stop me from firing her up.

Now I have to diagnose what is wrong and fix it, taking time away from the projects I’m already having to take time away from.

This June is rapidly spinning out of control and I’m starting to get a bit nauseous
