What I've been up to

So the past couple of weeks have been good, but tough. Man have they been tough. And for lots of reasons. One reason is mainly because I have too many choices on what to do with my life. I'm not good at having all the choices laid out in front of me. I can do anything. Anything at all. And that's not good. I want to do it all! So how do you narrow down what you want to do with the rest of your life? I guess you start with what you don't want to do and go from there but that still leaves several options! Do I go back to grad school and get a second master's degree for a job that may or may not be there? That's a tough one. I don't mind getting the second master's degree but if I can't use it for a long time then does it even make sense? How do I make a living where I can afford my own homestead and all that goes with that? What else do I want to do with my life besides homestead? I don't know. I just don't know!!SOOOOO, I've been giving it some thought. What I would really like to do is focus on my homesteading. I've come up with a plan that will take some time to formulate and put into place. I'm starting with applying to grad school. It doesn't hurt to have that option available and see where that goes. Easy peasy. Then I'll focus on working with what I have for the homestead-chickens, garden, canning, making things, etc. I can do all this and have fun too. No problem. I'll explore options for making, and saving, money for the future homestead. I'll focus on the relationships that bring me happiness, whether they are real life or on social media. Let's face it most of my peeps on instagram are like minded and very supportive. I had several email me asking if I was okay after I shut down my instagram.Now for the good. I'm finishing up maple syrup season. I'll post about that soon. I'm making plans. That makes me happy. I don't have it all figured out but I will get there. I went for a boat ride on Saturday when it was just gorgeous out! The Mister told me that I should learn to build things for myself so I helped him build a cow enclosure on Easter (not for us). I cleaned out the chicken coop and hung some grit and oyster shell feeders. I'll give an update on the girls soon. I want to be on this space more and maybe not focus on instagram as much (I can interact there without posting a ton of photos). Oh. And the gin we made? It turned out fantastic! I'll do a whole post on how to make it. I want to do a second bottle anyway. Those are the fun things. Trial and error things. Making things. Doing things. Now we can all move on and plan the homestead.
