God give me the patience and the strength...6

Forgot to tell you of my adventures yesterday. ("see, it's all about him" bad, bad)

Work was terrible. If my boss wasn't so good to me I seriously might be changing again. I've thought about going to work in a factory. More money, and benefits. But never liked it before, actually hated it. Don't know if it would be any different now.

Anyway...I got home from work and see there were cows and calves in the hay field next to our property. I called H, he was at work. He says to see what I can do, if I can't get them call him back.

Not just a couple was out, the whole herd was out. And of course all spread out. I wish someone was there to video. I actually acted as though I knew what I was doing. I got them in with out any problems. Thank God for 4 wheelers. Would never have been able to do it on foot. For one, I am petrified of cattle. But on the 4wheeler, I am okay.

I was so proud of myself! I called H back. He was pleased. I told him I was so proud of myself I could just #&%@&. He laughed and said "they are pretty cooperative so don't give yourself too much credit".

Well come to find out H knew exactly where they got out. This fence is really old and there was a place that 4 post were broke off. H knew this. Just hadn't gotten around to fixing them. I was kind of ticked, but said nothing. He told me what to do and I fixed it. He's so dambed paticular and I just knew it wouldn't be right. Well he stopped after work. Inspected. Said "You did fine, you did just as I would have done"

He was still at my house and was telling his B on the phone about them getting out and stuff. He told him he got here and TOH had it all taken care of. Everything was fine. I was pretty proud!

So something positive at the end of a crappy day.
