Middle of October...Wow!

This month has fairly flown by. I have a new Job at the Outback. I love eating there and now I love working there. It is too bad I feel like my feet are crushed and on fire...that puts a damper on things. I feel like I have had the worst 6 months ever. There has been so many hard times and disappointments. My neighbors dog come on the property and in 1 week it killed 5 sheep and 3 alpacas. I do not know if I will see any compensation but I am out about 10k in expenses.  I had panic attacks every time I had to go outside because I was afraid to see what else had happened. The animal control people got the dog so at least that is over.
    We had non paying squatters in our house in Colorado so that has almost killed us financially. It is hard to believe people can stand themselves when they are such losers. We finally got their deadbeat butts out and now we have a great family, and our former neighbors, living there. They are great people and I am so happy they are there. Now that we will be getting rent again, and I have a job, I think things will start looking up soon.
  I have been a mess since I was unfairly fired by the hospital for being disabled. I just can not believe they did that but I am now dealing with it. I like my serving job at Outback and I still love the food.
   I am not sure what to do about the farm. I only have 1 sheep left and they don't do well alone. The rest of my alpacas are good so far but I am so discouraged that I am not sure I want to continue. Farming was so fun when I had Colleen. Farming without a partner, especially one who is a therapist, just doesn't feel the same.  I will continue praying about this situation and see if this is something I should still do.
