Well, its snowing on the mountains. Kleo was right. Today has been heralded as the coldest day for this time of year since 1983. Ive just got one thing to say.
I fucking told you so. In Febuary I told you so!
The mountains are not that far from me - maybe less than 10kms to the nearest peak? I think we may get snow here because, as I mentioned, the amount of rain has raised the water table beneath us. Now it is beginning to freeze and before June it will be entirely frozen. If that wasnt enough, the duration and intensity of the cold is such that the ice will be able to grow, from today onwards, inch by inch toward us. Once we have a particular intensity of cold - BAM we got snow, right here, over our heads.
God, I hope so. It would be the first time Ive ever seen it. The little weather symbols for my area are icicles for tomorrow, and we are going down to freezing tonight.
Ive got to say, Im actually cold. Its a foriegn thing for me, to feel the cold at this intensity. The Red Pill is not helping - one of the side effects is cold extremities and DANG they got that right. I can barely feel my fingers! Im wearing long underpants and 3 top layers - still my hands and feet are cold. My core remains a furnace however, its just the beta blockers are stopping that heat flooding out to the edges.
Its a lazy horsey morning. Tesh has layed down in the sun near next door pony - they seem to be chatting but she keeps blancing her head against the turf to nap. Mags didnt want his hay this morning, its poor quality. So he's walking loops of the house, and everytime he comes past the pile he rediscovers it - "Oh, look, someone left hay here" and has a nibble before he goes, "nah its crap" and does another loop. He's been a good boy, lots of drugs and wound sluicing. For a wussy show pony he's done very well. The other 3 are wandering the grass paddock. Poor Zayf had his ego bruised this morning - he got zapped. Normally, before opening gates, Id turn the fence off. This morning I couldnt be bothered and moving a long strip of live tape he came over and snuffled it. I thought he was going to get away with it - the fence has a broken circuit somewhere, which means it isnt live so much as the charge chases itself. But the charge WILL come to a touch, I felt it coming and SNAP! Poor bugger copped it on the nose. Number one rule of owning a stallion - Dont upset him. Its like having a horse made of iron.
I didnt feed the Koels this morning, even though they gathered around. They can wait for lunch. I gave the Kookaburras extra yesterday, theyre such little dears.
Ive got a lot to do. Ive got to do online applications - even though the voices tell me thats unessesary. Oh, they are having a FIELD day. Some are telling me Ive already got a job, they just havnt called yet. Others are saying Im going to be a millionare by tomorrow night. Some are telling me Im going to die, Im finally going to get the answers I seek and others...Well, theyre doing their job. Telling me Im hopeless and worthless and why try? Sigh....
And there are of course the ones that just tell me to kill. Random. Piss off to the city and committ some murder. For a unconnected anybody with no connections.
You would think, if it was blood and gore I wanted, Id get enough from the horse's injuries. Fencing certainly sorts out the cutting fetish - if I need blood and feel like cutting, going out and stringing barbed wire with no gloves is always good. I get torn up to the elbows and no one can argue. Ive never used gloves with wire - you need to FEEL particularly if you're tensioning. No sticky explainations of where that cut happened or why, its just a battle scar.
My flu, thankfully, is mild. I feel it there, got a bit of congestion and confusion, but really its not that bad. I dont want to do anything....Its my birthday soon, and Id like to just be free for it, but Id like to know I have a job to go to and soon. The money thing is always the biggest bastard of all to me. If I could just stay like this somehow.....But I cant. Its got to change and I fucking hate it!
