Playing Beat the Clock

 Yesterday I remembered to blog. I wrote on my phone. And I couldn't figure out how to post it to the Slice of Life Challenge from my phone. If, for some reason or other, you want to see what I wrote about yesterday, Saturday, here's a link. Tonight I suddenly remembered that I hadn't blogged yet today. And it's 10:30 pm, Central time. Well, now it's 10:42. So I have 17 minutes to blog and post it to Two Writing Teachers before it is tomorrow on the East Coast. *sigh*

So what you get tonight is a random run through my Sunday. I overslept because, of course, I stayed up too late last night. You see, I make greeting cards. I draw little doodle pictures and mount them onto cardstock and create whimsical greeting cards. Usually blank inside, but I love adding sentiments. Especially for special orders. I like making cards for my recovery community. And birthday cards and little assortment packs for people. My mom's boyfriend (that sounds so weird, because, you know, she's 82...), orders a packet of 6 for $20 and I usually do 2 birthday, 2 thinking of you, and 2 sympathy. I usually add bible verses to these. Anyways.... I stayed up late drawing some cards last night. Which translated into oversleeping this morning. 

One of the cards that kept me up late. 

Today being Sunday, that wasn't TOO serious. Except that we just discussed last night that maybe the baby goat's tummy hurts more when her feed schedule is more erratic, and we should really try to stick to at least an approximate time. And we decided that time should be 8:30. It was more like 9:30 today. 

Then I got the pup out of the chicken pen and put him in with the goats. He's too big to be with the baby goaties anymore. We've had him for 2 weeks and I swear that he's doubled in size already. He is part Great Pyrenese and Part Karst Shepherd. I had never heard of Karst Shepherd either. From what I understand, they have a lot of the same livestock guardian dog qualities that Pyrenese have, with markings resemebling german shepherds. And size matching the Great Pyrenese. All of this chatter to say.... my little baby dog, he's a giant. He is going to be a size LARGE adult dog. 

I decided not to honor "french toast sunday" in the morning/brunch hours today and we had it for dinner tonight. 

In the in-between time I.... helped take the kids outside to play, set up and loaded the new incubator, gathered eggs (twice actually), created another new card, cleaned out the chicks dirty dirty pen, dispatched a dead duckling, looked after our favorite outside kitty who apparently sustained an injury and maybe even got said injury tangling with a skunk. (She stinks!) And one of her back feet is swollen up twice its usual size. Somewhere along the way I did a few dishes and made another card. 

Today's greeting card

Not too shabby for a day of rest.
