it turns out working 14 hour days 7 days per week for 6 weeks with no end in sight is actually soul killing, who’d have thought
#irrigation bees planting vegetables planting fruit trees#sheep chickens rabbits cat dog every day#plus full time tech job where I’m on call 24/7/365#at the point where I’m like afraid of the fruits of my labors#because even harvest means more work#shit needs to be frozen pickled shredded peeled boiled jarred dried#then stored somewhere#watering and weeding never stops#when do I hang out with the sheep? when do I house train the rabbits?#the 30 minutes per day where I eat cereal for supper before falling asleep to the price is right#the hour between meetings where I’m just waiting for a client to call in with something that needs me at my desk ten minutes ago?#almost every day there are people besides me and j at home needing instructions needing a place to sleep needing money in return for fixing#whatever the latest thing is that broke#and everyone has opinions on what we should be doing better or putting more effort into#and I’m just like I have no more fucking effort left to give#I’m now on the board of the local grower’s collab also#and looking forward to leading farm tours and educational things at schools#photography blogging marketing the farm#making mead etc#why can’t I say this is enough for me or for now#all of this is pointless if I can’t sit on my porch and drink my coffee as slow as I want to#the point is to live a life full of nice things that I have helped create or nurture or grow#not to Produce more or better or to someone else’s standard infinitely forever#words#small farm
