I fixed the gate into the
chicken yard in the
morning and fixed the
barbwire fence. In the
afternoon I started
the ditch running
had quite a time getting
the water under the
fence.

Friday the 13th. A turn for the better. Woke feeling calmer and more rested. Well enough to take myself into the office. Went head to head with Ken. He said he ought to lower his expectations of my abilities, and stop holding me to the standards of the women he has worked with previously because they were all super-women. I went ballistic on him.
