Systems for keeping things running while you have the plague..
The winter plague has hit my house, and I am not winning the immune battle today. After nearly fainting on a zoom call, I went back to bed and slept for 3 more hours. But... There are no sick days in ranching or caregiving. Lucky for me, I have built systems that keep my house and farm running almost on autopilot, so I can do a very bare minimum and my 2 humans and 83+ animals are all taken care of. What I set up: Being an hour away from the grocery store means there is no such thing as a "quick trip to the store" for more decongestant or food. There is already a months supply on hand at my house, and so there was zero worry that we had what we needed. Soon, I will release a module in the classroom walking you through my process for prepping for winter bomb cyclones or zombie plagues. The farm maintenance has everything really streamlined, so feeding is quick and easy. I had hoped to move more hay to the goats before the next big storm hit tomorrow, but there is enough to get through even if I don't (because I seriously can't). Thanks to the systems I built, I can do everything little bits at a time, and spend the rest of the day sleeping. Wishing you all a happy (and healthy) Christmas.
