The wife just applied for a job in Anchorage.......... Not really all that sure I want to do that........I visited an elderly friend of mine this afternoon. She and her husband are both doing poorly and had to recently change their health care providers. She's getting frustrated because the docs seem unable to determine why she's always exhausted and what's causing her pain. She asked me if I would mind if she willed her goats to me. While absorbing another 12-14 goats would be difficult for me right now, I told her it would be fine. She said she'd feel better knowing the animals would be cared for the way she would care for them.
On a more positive note...I wanted to establish a small flock of laying hens this summer, just 3-5 birds would be more than enough for my partner and me. But the already built coops are expensive. So I decided I could probably manage to build something acceptable. I'd like to have heritage breed chickens (my choice are Chanticleers). Raising day-old chicks is time and energy intensive and I figured that if I found some local pullets or hens, I could "cut my teeth" with established animals. Well, yesterday I found a super deal on Craigslist. A woman is selling her flock of 5 laying hens, coop, equipment, food and all, for an excellent price. I went by and it all looked really nice. She's selling the chickens because she's selling her house and won't have any way to care for them until she gets established somewhere else. Now I have to arrange the logistics of moving everything to my place. Looks like karma has spoken...
What kind of job?
