The past few days have brought about new ideas and a new direction for me in life. I spent most of the day Saturday visiting my mom out in Salton City. We talked a lot about life and what's going on in the world but most importantly we talked about the ranch. Both her and my step dad are getting up in their age and are not able to run their business like they would like and need someone to help out. It is getting more difficult for them to drive back and forth from the desert to the ranch.
It started with a small comment I made right after arriving at the Salton City house. I said "It really feels good to be up at the ranch again, I can't believe I forgot how quiet it is up there!". The conversation then moved into how she needs help up at the ranch. I don't remember if she asked or I commented but we quickly got on the topic of me going up there at least once a month to read meters and do all the property management that is required on the ranch. It will eventually lead me into taking over my mom's business entirely. I don't believe that will happen in the near term but maybe in a few years......
I am very excited and nervous all at the same time. I am learning something new and I get to run a ranch!!! This is one of the many things I have dreamed of doing in my life and I get to do it! To prepare I am going to have to get a reliable 4x4. Right now my current Jeep 4x4 is giving me to many problems and I am nervous driving it because every time I take it out for a drive something brakes on it. So I have started looking at Wranglers and FJ Cruisers over the weekend. I am also considering the Escape. It's cool to get a new car but I am not looking forward to car payments. I haven't had to make car payments since 2003.
In the next week I am going to have my Jeep looked at by a mutual friend of Berry and I. I hope that my current jeep doesn't really need all the repairs that I have been told and won't cost very much to fix. However, I think that is a pipe dream because every time I get the Jeep looked over and the problems are fixed something else pops up even more expensive to fix, ugh.
In other news, I have been sick this weekend with a sore scratchy throat. It bothered me the most on Saturday. Sunday I felt a lot better. I even felt as though I was better. Now, Sunday night, I feel like it is coming back. I'v got watery eyes scratchy throat and a runny nose. I have been popping vitamin C all day like it was candy. Come on vitamin C do your best!!! I am going to take some medicine ( don't know what I am going to take at the moment) and pray that it kicks this cold's ass and I feel better for work tomorrow.
With all that said I have got to get some sleep in. Have a great night all!
Blog you later,
