Wet Wednesday

Finally it is raining ... and even though it is colder than it has been I'm happy to see the rain. The dams and creeks around the farm were starting to look extremely dry and while it isn't pouring yet - there is a heavy rain warning out for the Tauraua Ranges which we live right beside. So I reckon that should fill them up a little. Not too good for the shearing plans this week - but guess you can't have everything.

I've been ok - life has its usual ups and downs. Feeling very tired of working at the moment ... some classes are alot harder work than last year. Guess that's part of the challenges of being a teacher.

We had our cat spayed last Friday. After two litters of kittens we decided she could be given a break - esp since the vet told us afterwards she was already in the very early stages of pregnancy again - and her kittens had only been gone a week!! Felt a bit awful about that, but at least she's not going to be providing kittens to people who buy them when they're cute and then get rid of them later. Although the monkey has taken to meowing under out bedroom window at all hours of the night ... not my idea of fun. I'm going to lock her in the laundry with her litter box if it happens again tonight. I have bad enough sleeps at the moment without being woken five times by a meowing cat!!
