You know how bad days can get worse.
Yesterday was one of them.
I had a neighbor moan to me the night before that my cattle had been on his place but he had put back and repaired the fence.
It was dark and i could not see them so I figured I would check them the next morning to make sure all was well.
It wasn't. I went for a drive around my place in an old 4 wheel drive and they were nowhere to be seen.
I started asking around all the neighbors and a couple said "yes they have been here, look at my lawn" but did not know where they had gone. To top it off I am full of the flu and feeling terrible. I reported the missing stock to the police and the local animal pound and finally at about 11:30 am I got a call to tell me where they are.
I spent half the afternoon repairing the fence that another neighbor had damaged with a bulldozer and repaired very poorly.
The rest of the afternoon, fortunately with the help of a good neighbor, was spent getting the stock from across and down the road, back to where they belong.
Finally some peace and quiet. I was able to relax a little, take some (medicinal) drugs and curl up under a blanket on the couch.
Today, my flu is worse and I am at work trying to catch up on what I didn't do yesterday.
One of the times it sux to own your own business.
Sick leave? You gotta be joking.
