Especially now that we have one less apprentice, we have also come to this point where there's not a lot of time to work on side projects and other interesting things. There's really only enough time in the day for chores, milking, more chores and milking again. We've managed to eke out an hour here and there to try to get the addition painted, and it's getting there, although we are pretty behind on egg washing now.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm trying to keep the momentum going, and I think I need a little readjustment to do so. When new things aren't being thrust upon me every day, I need to actively pursue them, consciously come up with more questions that dig a little deeper. Just because I've done something so many times doesn't mean there's nothing more I can learn about it. I have to remember to make it better every day.
