Nothing too exciting going on here today really. I spent the vast majority of the morning working on MRSA Resources, and did clear up quite a few tasks that were pending, mostly in the MRSA Awareness department. I tend to put that off in favor of the education area, so today was great progress. I also made some neat decisions on what to do with the MRSA News blog, as there is already an exceptional resource for MRSA news at MRSAWatch - I am going to focus on US news on my blog, as that will fit in a good bit better with our mission, and will not be a weak facsimile of MRSAWatch. I’m also working up a logo.
I must go get a buggy whip or something for feeding time, I am taking my life in my own hands each afternoon when I go feed, as we own the biggest bunch of chow hound equines and bovines on the planet. I nearly got kicked by Oprah yesterday–it is like a shark feeding frenzy down there, I swear. Picture 3 grown cows (one a huge longhorn!), with babies, 5 donkeys, one baby, one fairly calm horse and one big HOG horse that whips all the others off of all the food. And me. Yikes. Gets a bit scarier each evening.
Ok, it is ridiculously late AGAIN, I must go to bed. Nighty night!
Well the Hooker’s baby’s name is Liberty. Liberty Jones. A pretty good name, I think. Noah (my son) just out of the blue asked us last night what his name was, and we said we hadn’t decided on one, and he said he was going to call her Liberty. I don’t know where that came from (Noah is 7), but it seems like the right thing!
Marshall couldn’t stand not knowing about the grounds of the family reunion-so he found out, and indeed, it is being held at my brother in law’s home. After I-don’t-know-how-many years here, at the homestead. Nice of them to inform us, don’t you think? I imagine “some people” are afraid of our MRSA over here. I guess they don’t bother to find out that it is carried by 70% of the population, and your animals too. Oh well. This means that I don’t have to wear myself out this week getting ready, and that is (as Martha would say) a Good Thing.
I wish we could go out of town next weekend though, I really don’t want to reunion.
Or is it flys? I really am not sure. I am a bit brain dead tonight. I am not sure what happened between the hurricane missing us, and today, 2 weeks later, but MRSA Resources really started to take on a life of its own! The traffic there tripled one day last week, and I really cannot see what has done it, the majority of the traffic is from MSN, which is where it has always come from, as I have had a decent rank there nearly from day one. Who knows. I hope MRSA is not exploding at triple speed!
We have had more circle of life action over here. Our Longhorn (pet) showed up with a calf yesterday. My brother in law said he saw her with one a couple of days ago, and I truly thought he had lost his mind. We have been watching her closely, and I had really been wondering why she wasnt pregnant, but I guess I am an idiot. I thought she was just eating well–which she was, because we feed them well! LOL She definitely was the fattest Longhorn I have ever seen. So, the Hooker (her name) has a cute baby. Another boy. I hate having boy cattle, because there is no reason to keep them, and I know we will have to give him up. I guess he needs a name. For some reason we have funky cow names over here–of course his mom is The Hooker, we also have Grace Jones, and her baby, Moo-pak, Cowlie Berry and Oprah. Time to get creative
The family reunion is coming up next week, and I heard a glimmer of a rumor last month that we weren’t having it here, but no one has told me anything other than that we are having it here, so I am hard into my annual home and yard renovation. Boy will I be bitter when someone gets around to telling me that I didn’t have to do all of this work after all. We have all of the Jones’ family here every year, as we live in the family homestead that Marshall’s grandfather built. Last year at this time, Marshall’s back was starting to hurt him, and on October 12th, he went into the ER with MRSA septicemia and an infection in the epidural space of his spine. So this week will be one of true celebration, as it was truly a miracle that he survived it. The huge blog version of the story is here: Marshall Jones: An MRSA Septicemia Survival Story.
