I've been in Calgary for work this week. It has been an exciting week for me as I got to visit with old friends of the equine persuasion. My ex-boss from my time in university welcomed me back to the farm I worked at. We had some nice long chats and I got to fill a pale of water and groom some horses.
It was definitely odd being in the barn without chores to do. The problem being that I didn't know who got what or what was left to be done.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I knew deep down in my bones what needed to be done and what I would do. The problem was that it wasn't mine to do.
Jana and Donna are doing well, as is Janic. The rest have passed on which saddens me. Old Tiff, that bag of bones always brought a smile to my face.
The work part went as well as can be expected. The problems I've been trying to circumvent since October really had an impact this week. Maybe the boss is right that it still would have been more expensive if we had just done the right things from the start.
