Why, I ask Why?
I was working at the hell job all weekend and we have a "new" girl that just started....
She is a different sort and thats all I will say. I have never worked with someone quite like her before....
Yesterday, she was in the back and I walked through the door and she is sitting on a chair shaking and a single tear rolled down her pudgy face. I asked what is wrong? Kinda shocked, kinda interested....the nosy part of me. She told me she was sick! That she just threw up in the bathroom and doesn't know if she can stay....what the....!
SICK!!! What the H-E-double hockey sticks are you doing at work infecting all the others! GET HOME!
Today, today, I am sick. I have the flu. Am I impressed.....no.
Why do you come to work when you know you are sick? Why must you infect others with your illness? I just don't understand?
Stay home! Be sick there....I don't want your nasty flu bug!....the one that I have NOW!!
Little bitter! YES!
Get a grip Fairy....
I will say that I do get the odd...ok, I get lots of migraines, but I know where that comes from and its inherited...thanks Grama!
If you are sick....for the love of all things, stay home and let the rest of us be healthy!

We've been robbed!
My faith tells me he is in a better place, my faith tells me she won't suffer any more but really we have been robbed!
As a kid I used to play "Charlie's Angels" with friends...I was never Farrah, even though I had the blonde hair. I was usually "the other one"!
Today, in the porch closet I pass the dusty black Michael Jackson zipper jacket. Yup, I still have it! and the "glove", is in the pocket. I'm admitting that....eeegads.
I used to wear the pleather black skin tight pants and the peter pan get-away shoes with the oversized dress shirt buttoned half way down with a belt wrapped at least three times around my waist. My influence....Michael Jackson.
I never had the body of Farrah Fawcett so I workedwith what I had!! and the Pleather pants seemed to work for me....or so I thought. I looked like all that and a bag of chips!
As I hear the news of both icons passing I was saddened more about Michaels than Farrah's, she was struggling for so long..
I was working at the hell job yesterday afternoon when we all heard it, staff and customers and we all stopped in our tracks....did he just say Michael Jackson? Nahhhh, I think I heard Michael Jordan.....noooo, he said Michael Jackson!!
I watched the news this morning and had a little cry. I was reflecting on another King that I remember dying....Elvis. Two "Kings" that died way too early.
I know Jackson had some rough times but he was who he was and that's all there is to say about that, you can't argue the point. You just can't!
I am saddened that two people whom I grew up with are gone and at such a young age.
Good bye my friends.
My heart goes out to their family and friends and all the fans who feel as I do.

Getting outta the way
Horses have a code, or pecking order. There is the top horse all the way down to the bottom feeder.
Yesterday, I just happened to get mixed up in the pecking order.
Horses, in the fly season will also line up and one horses head faces one way and the one next to him will face the other, the reason is so that when a horse swishes his tail for flies, they also get not only their own butts, but the other horse who is standing right beside them gets their face swished as well...hope that wasn't too complicated.
Anyway, I was brushing Katie on her rump and Jay pulled up next to her, so Jay's face was by Katies rump for the tail swish...Katie did NOT want Jay standing next to her because I was there and Katie wanted all of my attention. Katie proceeded to bite Jay in the butt and Jay, who thought I was Katie, then proceeded to bite me!....now this was the question. Do I stand there and take the bite or move and let Jay bite Katie back and get kicked by Katie? I took the bite.
Jay bit me on the outside of my right thigh. I have been kicked many times, but this was my first bite.
I have a huge bruise and a hard lump in the middle of the bruise and when I walk...HOLY DINAH!
In future, I think I will take the kick.

Pet Peeve
One of my biggest pet peeves in this Border Town are drivers.
I would say the majority of drivers between 25-55 are ROAD HAZZARDS!!! Don't even get me started on the over 55's!
If a highway is marked 110 kms and you are doing 90....YOU ARE A ROAD HAZZARD! People are leap frogging you! If the highway is marked 110kms and you are doing 130-140....YOU ARE A ROAD HAZZARD!!! You are now leap frogging others! Can't you just do the speed limit, or can't you just go with the flow of traffic. If you are late, then YOU SHOULD OF LEFT EARLIER.......
Where did they get their license? Who gave it to them?
I am also a firm believer in people over 70, should be getting a re-test on their drivers license...in fact after 70, they should be getting re-tested every two years.
4 Way stop signs are also another bone of contention....Obviously, most of them have never lived in small town Saskatchewan or small town anywhere, where that's all they have...Berline!!!!
Or the rigs....4 huge trucks pull out on to the highway....their top speed....60! 60!...and they are all in a line so you can't pass.....once I managed to pass 3 out of the 4, the biggest truck was yet to pass....the driver, Bless him...moved over on to the side to let the 7 cars behind me plus myself, pass! Why didn't the other 3 smaller big trucks pull over! Hell, even the huge Semi drivers pull over for you! It's nuts!
Or it's two solid lines and some idiot coming towards you decides to pass and all you see are headlights coming at you!! If that doesn't make your arse tighten up a bit, then I don't know what would!
Idiots!....
It seems though, once I get started towards Battlefort people seem to get their wits about them....once I hit Toon town, all is well, and as I am driving the 8 hours to my home town...eveything seems fine. People in the larger cities are courteous and obey most rules....its just the BorderTown... where, I guess, everyone's brains have flown out the window!
I hope that doesn't happen to me!

NIght #1
Last night was night #1 for Farm Sitting....
No catastrophies!!
Cows good.
I went out, found the horses, brought them in and fed oats and clipped the feathers off of their feet. I then brushed everyone down and they all looked sooo shiny. All but one.
My little white mare, Tuffy is not too perky. She is really showing her age. 26 is old for a horse.
I suppose I would be showing my age too, if I were that old in horse years..which works out too...ummmm let me see....57! Ya, ok, I see her point!
She hates getting wormed....I would too. If someone came at me with a huge needle looking type thingy filled with disgusting paste (they say its apple flavoured, but it sure doesnt smell like it!) and rammed it down my yap, well, it wouldn't make me happy either. Normally I give her wormer pellets, but they didn't seem to work, SO.....tonight I have to fight with her on getting the paste into her mouth. yay.
Penny the dog helped me HAND WATER the huge a$$ed garden last night...it better rain!!!
Dear God,
Please let it rain.
Thanks,
Fairy Mae
Tonight I am planning on oh, HAND WATERING the garden again! ya, two hours of my life, I'm never gonna get back!
Dear God,
Please let it rain!
Thanks again,
Fairy Mae

Farm Sitting
Well, today is the start of an eight day farm sitting adventure!
I am at the farm looking after my horsies and the cow girls and their kids for eight days.
What do I hope to accomplish?
Well, I hope to gorge myself on fresh asparagus and chives from the garden.
I hope to get the two girls under saddle or close to it, as well as trim feet.
I hope to water the garden daily and finish planting all the flowers Grace left behind for me to do.
I hope to walk in the pasture with the horses, brushing them occasionally and talking to them non-stop with Penny the dog by my side.
I hope to lose weight and tone up while I'm out there.
I hope it rains in the evening to make the pasture a little greener.
I hope to get some computer work done in the evenings.
I hope to finish the book that I am reading!
I hope to take lots of pictures!
That's what I hope to accomplish.
Only to go back to the crappy apartment to meet up with ma and her entourage, have a few giggles and spend the days at work with ma in tow.
Ma is staying up here for the Arts Without Borders weekend in which I am in one play and directing the other!! How do I get myself in these messes! It will be a great weekend with all kinds of stuff going on.
I then hope in July to go home to see my pooch and clean barn with the cousins. If I don't start losing weight this week, then July will help for sure! I would like to be a lean machine for not only the bet with Wilma and Bruno, but for the rodeo weekend as well. I can't continue this fat jean parade!!! It's nuts already!!
