Bleaurgh.....

had to milk in the dark this AM. Stupid lithium batteries aren't holding a charge - I hooked up Annie and Rosa, noticed that the lights were going dim, so ran to the house to grab the "charged" batteries. Replaced them......they barely lasted thru Mocha and Zorra. I had to clean the machine in the pitch-black of the milking room. :sigh: I KNEW I should have brought the oil lantern down! (I have a Dietz; I also have a Coleman camping lantern that *I can't get to light* :big sigh: Gotta figure something out.....guess I need to get a couple more Dietz's.)

Got the big 'ol pail o'milk wipes yesterday. Wowza! It's BIG. 700 large diaper wipes.....I'm almost out of the cheapies I was using, so we'll see how this works. It works out cheaper to buy this one, and it's made for dairy use....we'll see.

I'm still calm, but there's a sense of waiting. *Something* is in motion.....I am just waiting. There's stuff I want to do, but can't.....so.....
