I swear that “the forces that be” knew that this was the week that I get my bonus.. This is one of the first times in my life that I qualify for a hefty bonus and expensive issues happen at our house.
First, the septic decided to make us miserable. Yeah, it was Monday when I got that bonus. Tuesday, the septic spills over into our entry bathroom. Wednesday, the septic shit sucker truck comes and hauls away a load. I scrub and seal floors that were pooed on. Thursday, the septic shit sucker truck returns with plans to replace our pump.   He opens the septic tanks and finds them full again, he rethinks and pulls out the plans from the county for our septic and guesses that our water run off (which is immense this year) is causing issues in our laterals. I ask him how much and he guesses that after they fix the pump, if they can get to it with the rising water table, and all of the shit sucking trips maybe 1200  bucks or more. Thursday, I find out that the total bill for my shoulder surgery is in the thousands (why do I pay for health ins again??). Friday, I wait for the septic truck to come and haul away more.. I need a shower. I need to wash clothes.. I am afraid to flush the toilets.. And the male llama has decided that he wants to crawl under our post and rail fences.. I spent a couple hours trying rope around the bottom parameter of the corral fencing to keep the sucker in. I’m waiting for the husband to go to the lumberyard and get wood so we can add a 4th row of rail for the llamas. We will have to add it tonight, cause I can not catch the llama to put him in with the goats.
We have a family vacation planned for this next week. Should we leave when we have this run off and the septic problem, hoping that the huge drift that remains above the laterals does not cause more issues?? and a rogue llama?? What if we come back and find the basement flooded with poo and Cheese missing? Grrrroan.

I am going to call this. It’s Country Living 7, Jinx 0. I am getting my arse kicked.
