need to find some inspiration for the day
Feeling..meh, blah not finding the inspiration on this day. I keep trying, over and over and over. There are literally MILLIONS of people online every single day.
Every
Single
Day
Why can I not find ones that would support farm fresh heirloom foods and helping people create food for the local economy. Why is it all about what is cheapest. Why is it all about not sharing, not helping, not supporting. I get up at 5am, leave 5:45 drive to the city sit at a desk doing 15 hours of work in 10, drive back feed the wood stove, do chores, feed all the farm critters hoping for time to do something I enjoy but I'm just flat out to tired. All I want is to wake up and grow and raise food for others. But I need help to do that, nobody shares the site, nobody donates to the cause. nobody.
http://katehagerartist.com is the site to share, to help promote, your online anyway, do something helpful today that will take you seconds, go look around, enjoy the art work, help give me the time to make more.

coffee for cows fundraiser ideas
#1 my career discourages breaks and lunches
#2 encourages overtime
#3 has no retirement, no pension
#4 causes me pain everyday and makes it so I can't do the things I enjoy.
I found my calling, it's cows...and goats.. and fresh heirloom produce and farm markets. I can do those things, ok I can do those things if I'm not in constant pain from being on a computer 10 hours a day making the tendons in my shoulders and my carpal tunnel so inflamed that I can't pick things up, can't carry what I need to, can't draw, can't paint. You get the jest. I thought of coffee for cows because it's something millions spend money on, waste money on. Just a fraction of that would get me to the work I'm meant for and out of the work I'm not meant for but have to do to pay the bills. I still have hope for that, that somehow some way I can reach enough people with compassion that would send $2,3 5 to end the office life and get me to raising beef and food.
This morning on my way in I thought, everyone loves chocolate covered coffee beans. What if I made some and used that as the fund raiser. Offered them up in small packages as an incentive to give to the cause of paying off the farm so we can end being gone all day and just focus on the farm. Would it work. I sure hope so, I hurt...every day. I can't close my hands, can't pick things up without dropping them. Can't lift the hay bales to feed the cows, can't lift the pails of grain or water. And I'm strong enough... it comes to not working those tendons injured day after day drafting.

caught up for a brief moment, good food, art work and good food
Focus, focus - #1 goal - find a way get farm paid off and be able to stay and WORK there instead of office work.
We don't want to sit and watch tv, we don't want others to pay our way. We just can't quit our jobs until the farm is paid off, at least the land and house. We are building up, have goats, calves, rabbits, chickens but need meat buyers.
Working on getting up a greenhouse to at least start plants earlier and have them looking good for first markets. But need time, when ya leave at 5:45am and get back at 6pm there isn't much time.... or energy ... to get stuff done that needs to be. So again I say COFFEE FOR COWS :)

11 hours a day...part time??
For some reason 11 hour days on the farm aren't like 11 hour days in engineering. Being outside and doing a variety of things just is a different ball game than 11 hours at a computer screen with florescent lights flickering overhead. Being able to sit down and take a break without someone looking at you like SLACKER... slacker?? I worked a factory once, we got 10 minute breaks every 2 hours. Those are no where to be found in engineering. Good luck going to...who?? about breaks. Well you get to get up whenever you want. Yeah, right LMBO. Goal #1 find a way to pay off the land and just farm, grow our heirloom produce, raise beef, chickens, goats, pigs, rabbits. Got to be a way, Probably the number of commuters in one city donating one cup of coffee's worth of money would pay off the land. I'm a math person, I've done the figures. How can I get those donations to be sent? There has to be a way to reach people, there are millions on here and twitter both everyday.

white collar, blue collar. breaks and smoking and overtime
Was pondering this on my way in,
#1 why is it white collar can only get breaks if they smoke? You don't have to smoke blue collar. I work 10 hour days, no breaks, no lunch, in fact in the 15 years I've worked engineering it is EXPECTED for you to work through breaks if you don't smoke. It's EXPECTED for you to work any part of lunch your in the building without billing for it. When I worked the Chrysler line we got a break every 2 hours, whether it was an 8, 10 or 12 hour shift, every 2 hours. If you walk away from your desk your just lazy, looking to get out of work. I smoked at one job JUST to get breaks. I think many do.
#2 overtime, we discussed in my interview I have my own business that I need to run. It's not a hobby, it's not something can be done "some other time" they are animals, it's a farm.. it's our goal to just do that as soon as we can figure a way for it to pay for itself or get finding somehow to pay off the land. I can't feed 90 animals.... some other time. I can't milk goats, some other time.
Back to the quest of paying off the farm to stay there, I've come up with some really good facts and ideas but can't seem to get people to donate that couch/ car change or what they'd spend on coffee for one week, but gotta keep trying. Can't do many more years of this white collar work.
