The record setting amount of rain we have recieved this april of 2011 is really disrupting everything. Last year we had all the corn in the field by now and were preparing for bean planting. This year we haven't got the first tractor in the field. The planting season is going to get to the point where things are going to have to be rushed to get done, and I don't particularly like being rushed and working in the dark. I can't really see all that well with my night blindness, and by that time its a struggle to stay awake and alert anyways.
The greenhouse business is also suffering from the wet weather. Our annual sale was very hampered by the wet weather. Not being able to get in their flower patches and being able to work would keep people away, I'm not really surprised by the lack of customers. For the first time in the 20 odd years the greenhouse has been going, the annual sale also happened on Easter weekend. This likely had something to do with the amount of customers that showed up also.
Otherwise things are looking up. I've seen some info about some full time jobs nearby and the post office job is getting a little easier. I haven't been subbing near as much as I have in the past, but when teachers need time off is really out of my control.
Things with the vet assistant have been going really well. I'm able to laugh and enjoy myself around her all the time now.
I'm also ready to get out of my current phone contract. The advantages offered by todays smartphones are being outweighed by the ability to use a walkie talkie. I still have at least eleven months left with nextel and would like to get an iphone. I have some version of a droid for nextel now and am not all that impressed with the interface and operating system. The network that nextel uses to get data to my phone is just very slow and inadequate.
