Feeling so exhausted. For the past two weeks I have been going to work every day except for Saturday and Sunday morning. Mondays and Thursdays I was up at 4:30am to get to work and start feeding the pigs before we weaned the babies from their mothers and send them off on a truck. Other times I have been pressure-cleaning the crates that the sows have their pigs in ready for the next lot of sows to come through and shifting sows around and writing up paperwork. And it is getting hot here now so that isn't helping in any way. And I haven't had much time to drive my new car around yet

Equine Influenza has hit Australia and hit it bad. So many places near where I live are off limits as horses have got the disease and they are trying to keep it contained. But somehow it is spreading and at a rapid rate. Somehow it is getting through the barriers that the law has put up. As if the drought wasn't bad enough, now we have this ravaging all industries involved with horses.

Lots has been happening of late. Some I will post here, yet others are too personal. To private.

I have been playing a fair bit of HL of late. And my crafter in SOI seems to be doing well, though I don't rp much with her, just craft. It is sort of my back up mud now a days. I miss RPing with Ryk, though, who is having lots of housing problems. He and his girlfriend. They were good to talk to and helped me with my RP a lot. Pof Svarli has been most wonderful as well. Very supportive.

I have been struggling to get my Provisional Licence for the car. Two times now I have tried but still make too many mistakes; I found I can make 8 non-critical errors and still pass but I was 3 over last time. It is kinda more important than ever to get my licence as my granddfather's health has declined somewhat, particularly of late. He collapsed just yesterday;scared the living daylights out of everyone. We were hammermilling hay for the sheep and suddenly Len was shouting for us to stop. We looked around and saw granddad struggling to sit down on the back of the ute before he fell. He went very gray, sort of like the color of my Xanga here and became clammy. He then started to drift and was slow to respond to us talking to him. Mum and grandma couldn't even get a pulse. Josh called the ambulance and I went down and opened the gates to the property. While I did that, he went unconcious on the way down to the house.Len and Josh got a mattress from the house and managed to get granddad onto it, pulled off his shoes and put his feet up. By that time, he had come around again and was feeling better. But when the ambulance got there, we suggested that he go to the hospital anyway, to make sure things were all right.
