Yes, using a tractor can be fun.
It is also a bit of a responsibility. I enjoy both aspects equally.
We been rather warm in this crappy basement despite it not being insulated. This too requires a trade off though. We need to mind the wood stove. In part, I grew up needing to do that anyway. Me and a grandfather even split a dump truck load of fire wood all day using axes & mauls when I was a young boy. The same grandfather also taught me how to build nine foot diameter wood balls, piles of fire wood that were hollow centered. Never have given much thought to all I've been taught over living, the rural, pastoral, country way of living. It was always taught as 'this is how you do without but still manage to live", 'here's how take care of X". So, it all seemed to be a "natural" part of the "process" of living.
I'm sorry people are such assholes as to deny others basic necessities of living based off a false myth used to perpetuate an illusion called an economy. If you ask an economists about what an economy is you'll learn they define it a lot differently than what a person might think it ought be defined. It is not the use of money to track supply and demand, production, goods and services. No, to economists it's about how to keep everything selling, markets expanding and life be damned. It's taught that economics is a means of population control, which somewhat fits in with eugenics.
It is based on the false idea that resources are limited. The idea itself is not exactly false, but the way it is conveyed makes it so. Those who have will do anything to continue having. That includes lying about how resources are limited. Yes, to an extent resources are limited. Here's the kicker though. Resources are limited to the extent that the cosmos provides for every need. This is a cosmic law. The lie created by human kind is that resources do not allow for every need. If you doubt what I'm presenting, look up Food First. They been studying over forty years and can disprove there is not enough food to feed all on Earth. They prove there is far more than enough to give everyone 4 kilograms of food daily, indefinitely and this trend will only average out and people can get more food daily as time goes on. What lacks is will to see it done.
It is a bitch of a battle to face. I'm sorry you're in the midst of that.
, try to stay as warm as possible and drink plenty of fluids, preferably broth or something like that. When your child get's it it's pretty hard to not get it yourself
, I know that feeling so well
, I hate my compression socks ...but... they sure do help
