Hoping for Rain

I am pulling for a rain day tomorrow. Work has been draining mentally and physically. I could really use an extra day.  I kind of wish there was only one month to go and not six. Just not having fun and is very stressful. Smitty and I are carrying quite a bit of the work load and it is taking its toll. We got in shit the other day as we rushed a property late in the day and it did not look as sharp as it normally does.  I understood what he was talking about when we went back there to fix it up.  I bagged a lot of it and it looks pretty sharp now.

Ninety per cent of the time we do an awesome job and I am proud of what we have accomplished with such an inexperienced crew. I know I am damn good at cutting and pruning and know that there would be a big void if  I was not there. I went through a similar stretch last year and everything turned out fine. I remember stopping at Dave's after work once and letting it all out. Tears flowed from my eyes like a river and I was sure I could not face another day working. But here I am a year later trying to push through again. Many people with bi-polar or other mental illnesses are unable to work. I can relate to that and feel fortunate to be able to make an attempt at staying employed. I have spent the weekend stressed and  strained with worry but, I will face whatever the new day brings tomorrow. I will write again soon to let you know how it went. Also have to catch up on a few things. Take care. Shawn.                                


Positive should outweigh negative.
