Is that a good intro? Hehe..
So I am sitting on a bus (that does smell like farts) heading to Christchurch. I got on the bus at 8:30 this morning, and should get to Christchurch by 5:30. We just stopped I Wanaka for a pee, and off we go again. Ok, so that is where I am...right now. I have no idea where I am staying when I get to Christchurch...I am full on "Winging it". The weird part is, I'm not even nervous. I have a constant knowing that the universe will take care of me, and everything will always work out...because it will. It might it always be ideal, but it always works out. When you throw your hands, sometimes it's easier than trying to plan minute by minute....well that's what I am learning anyways ;)
Ok, so exciting things. My good friend Mel arrives Thursday at 11:30 pm!! Yeahhhhhhh! We are going to hit up the West Coast and make our way to Nelson, where I am then going to try and find work. I have miss Mel for a week, which is exciting! It will be nice to have a peice of home out here with me, and a friend again. It's just been me at Sues since last Wednesday. Shelly is gone off with her lover, and I have been a farmer at Sues since.
On Sunday when we got home from Karitane (we were up there cleaning Sues beach house, as she just put it up for sale.)OMG its beautiful! Actually..here is my a.d.d. Kicking in..I
Here are a few photos from where I was there. I would like you to imagine me, up on a ladder, cleaning every single one of the windows...inside and out. Haha. I only almost fell 3 times...I feel like that's ok....
Ok, so hmm... Things that have happened. Well...when we got back on Sunday We noticed that one of the goats was crying...a lot. So, a goat crying is more like a weird moan...groan...grunt....fack. I don't know how to describe it, but it sounded awful. She was crying every ten minutes, so Sue told me to grab my gum boots and we were going up to check on her. Also, as we were walking into the gate she said "grab a stick and wave it when you are walking, in case a deer gets close and tries to stomp on you"'... Um....ok? Haha
So we go up and check on the poor girl. She can barely walk and is crying. Sue finally is able to grab her by the horns and yells at me to come over. I go over and she tells me to straddle the goat, pinch it with my knees and grab it by the horns. Well as kinky as this sounds, it was pretty awkward. So I do, and Sue checks out her bum and lady bits, and tries to see whats going on all up in her business. Then she tells me she is going to "drench" her...which means she gives her this icky stuff that makes her poop and will get rid of worms, if that is what she has. She tells me "stay there with her, I have to go to the barn". She has to drive down to the barn. So.....hmmmm....I am straddling this poor goat and she is so exhausted that she just pretty much collapses. So, I thought hey, while I am here I might as well make myself useful. I started to do some Reiki on her. Sue was gone for about 10 minutes, and every few minutes I would look behind me to make sure that one of the deer wasn't deciding that it was "kick a ginger day" and. Coming to stomp on me. Lol. Here is a picture...I shouldn't be smiling as she is sick, but I was laughing at the whole situation as it was quite the Friday night.
Me and mamma....she was so tired!
Ok, so Sue comes back and we drench her, and then head back to the house. We checked on her the next morning and she had actually delivered a baby.....but the baby was dead :( when I walked up she was crying at the baby, and walked over and sat beside it. She was crying at it. I felt so sad for her. She had licked the baby clean. We left it there for 2 days for her to mourn it, and then I went up and put it in a plastic bag. Another thing to add to my resume...baby goat collector. (Black humor is the only way in these situations)
Anyways, mamma is much better. She is up and eating. I said a little prayer for the baby before I put it in the bag.
Hmmmm...what else has happened.
Um, well Sue and I were sitting in the living room Monday night and a guy just walked in around 7:00 pm...he was like "is this a guest house?" Sue has just shovelled a huge forkful of food into her mouth..haha. She said...um....yes. (Usually people call and make reservations...they don't just show up. )So we went and got the room ready for this guy and his girlfriend. I chatted with his gf for a but..she was really sweet. Turns out...he is a famous actor and she is a Victoria secret model:) I can't say who yet.,.but funny shit. Here I am in my rubber boots, no makeup, hair all over the place like the Wendy's girl on drugs - having a chat about goats with a Victoria secret model...bahhhhhaha! Life is funny:)
Ok, well here are some more photos as I am starting to feel vomit wanting to come up...I think its motion sickness...can you imagine if I was "that girl" that puked on the bus?
Love you allllllllllllll!
Xoxox
Oh, and Murrll. There are MagPies all over the place here! I call them skunk birds, as they look like skunks (I know...I'm pretty genius)
And they are SOooooo annoying! Hahaha...they really don't shut up! LOL
