Spot the Calf

Spot the calf

March 3

WOW what a crazy day. First off today is the 3rd anniversary of Dylan’s death. So not such a great day for me. I went to school but I found it really hard to concentrate on what I needed to be thinking. Good thing I only had one class today. Then at Kibomet the kids just finished exams and instead of teaching today I told them to take the day off and we’ll hit the essay on Monday. Once I got home I thought I’d take off and go to town and hit the coffee shop, eat a brownie, and then have a grilled cheese and chocolate shake. But that didn’t happen. I fell asleep on my bed.  After tea, I got online and did some browsing around and that took forever. After it got dark, I decided to go outside because of the cow and her calf. Alice said something about needing to move the cow. Considering the darn thing wasn’t getting up, I thought Wow I’d like to see this. Well instead of just watching, I ended up taking care of the little calf. I named him Spot and I pushed, drug, pulled, and said a few cuss words and got the little guy into the compound. The cow managed to get in the compound as well with the help of 8 guys holding her up and bribing her to keep moving. It only took 2.5 hours to move that cow about 25 yards.

Now I’m in my room, under my mosquito net, lights off, and typing away on my computer. I’m beat. It was a long day and I had very little sleep last night. Tonight should be much better sleep wise.
