 So guess what? B has another rescue. Sigh. This time it's from a person about an hour away who found themselves in over their head with a baby. They have like 5 adults and someone gave them a baby axie and they had no idea how to deal with it. So yeah, we have another baby. But this one will be going back to the original owner in like a month or two when it has grown large enough that they can handle it. Good times. 

Another FULL ass day of teaching. 10-6 almost on the money of 6. There were no problems with the students or anything. Just a long day ya know? By the time I sat down to eat dinner it was almost 7 and the next thing you know it's time for bed. Not much time to do anything else. 

I setup fall and winter services with my gardener yesterday. Between now and March 2021 for $500 he will come twice to do full leaf and gutter cleaning (plus disposal which is a big part of it) and then from December to March I get a minimum of 10 snow removals. Any time the snow is over 2 inches, he will be out to do the driveway and the walkways. One less thing I have to worry about now for the next six months. I started adding it up yesterday too. While $500 may seem a lot, first off, it's billed per service so not a single hit. But, if I were to try and do all this myself? Lawnmower, leaf blower, snow blower, edger, scraper, shovels - add all that up and then put my time, effort, back pain, etc. on all that and it would take at least 5 years for me to have spent the same with him. In five years I sure as hell wouldn't want to do this and now I would have a pile of equipment being unused. To all you DIY folks, good for you, but don't be hating because I choose to go another route. 

Webinar today at like 2:30 - 4:00. Internal run through for public one next week. Boring shit. Late in the day too. But when it's done, I am done for the week. My new hair color came yesterday and I will be doing that this weekend. Otherwise, no obligations really for the weekend. Laundry and house cleaning are about it.

Oh, almost forgot - B's mother is pulling some shit again. For whatever reason she won't let B see her sisters. She says it's because of COVID but she lets them go to the grandmother's, the dollar tree, school, and all sorts of places that are much more dangerous than our house. We don't know what bug has crawled up her mom's ass this time but it is really upsetting B. We had a whole halloween thing planned for the girls too. Bitch.
