anyways good morning family and friends and all those in between

happy saturday, after a long week of farming you'd figure i'd get to rest today but no alas, i somehow got roped into putting insulation in a crawl space for the neighbours of my farm people

i don't mind doing it, i know it's a shitty job and all but i honestly don't mind, at least it'll be cool

the thing that irks me though is that when John asked me if I could do it and I said yes he asked me how much I got paid on the farm and I told him 15$ and hour and he said yep we could do that and then we just changed topic

see the thing is, 15$/h is a really good wage for farming, but for any type of construction or labor work, not my only my rate but the going rate for any labourer here is 20$/h. I don't want to sound greedy but it's the way it is. especially for this, this is shitty underneath the house with rats and a foot and a half of clearing space crawling on my stomach getting shit in my dreads putting up itchy insulation;

but i was never put in a situation where he asked me what i wanted to get paid he kinda just said he'd match my farm wage, and i don't wanna seem greedy or frugal and he's good friends with my bosses so i guess i'll just have to bite my tongue on this one.

theeeen after that i gotta go camping with my in-laws. NOT looking forward to that at all. i don't like my mother in law and i hate my sister in law, before i got married they treated me like absolute shit at their family owned resort i worked at..so yeah i really don't want to go, and it's somewhere we gotta go by boat so i can't even leave in the middle of the night, EUGH

so yeah here i am saturday morning after a long week of working looking forward to sunday night lol

have a good one folks
Well Mikey you are a good man for helping a friend. I hope he gets a little food or some beer for you to make up the difference.

Hope you can find something to enjoy when camping and you can enjoy where you're at.

Take care my friend, Much love to you Brother

I'm not blowing you off, I just haven't been myself lately & I don't know why.
I'm waiting for blood & urine test results. You know how you feel after a day farming?
That's how I've felt for the past week. Something's definitely wrong.

Anyway, good morning Yahooka.
Double H! I hope you get good feelings soon.


You two are two of my favourite peoples and I love you.
