JR is off trucking again. He left early this morning and I don't have any idea of when he will be home again. It has been great having him home for the past 3 plus weeks, but he has to work because the bills are starting to pile up.

Now, I am back in charge of the ranch and the cows and the dogs. Annie dog is already missing JR as she sits by the window moaning. Poor dog... she had surgery on Saturday for some growths on her skin. A couple were ulcerated and really looked bad. They have been sent for testing. The one they removed from her lower jaw was huge and the stitches extend down her neck about 4 inches. That one has us all worried.

I need to get started on my day... but it is difficult as I'm really feeling blue. It is always such an adjustment when JR leaves.

Also... bad news this morning on next years summer pasture. It won't be available to us as the people have leased their whole place to a dairy farmer. Great... something else that has to be figured out by next summer.

I sure hope Tuesday is better because this Monday sucks.

Annie :o(
