A day in the life... goats, stubborn mules, scorpions and extra strong coffee.

Hey y’all 😊

are we over those #mugshots yet? No? Ok good...

It’s been a pretty busy week for me and in keeping up with the mission to share more, I thought I would give a quick update (in photos) to my adventures lately.

This week I am house sitting for my neighbor, which also involves taking care of their very cheeky animals. These animals seem to be able to escape any fence, have no manners and somehow are hilariously cute as well.

How can you stay mad at that face??

These stinkers rolled around in the mud they made after they turned over their water trough.. but they look so happy though.

Stubborn mules didn’t seem to understand why I wanted them to move from their very comfy spot... 🤔

And were thoroughly annoyed with me when I finally got them to move.

The Scorpion event

Yes.. scorpions.. in my whole lifetime living in California I have never seen a scorpion. But of course the first morning after a night of house sitting that all changed. (so dramatic) While making the bed I felt a horrid pain on the bottom of my foot and jumped around like a crazy person. I assumed I had stepped on a bee or something but my lord it flipping hurt 😆.

After jumping around holding my foot for a bit and assessing the damage (my foot was still there thankfully). I went to go see what the hell had attacked me and saw this little @*%#@#.

I mean what the serious hell? I hadn’t even had coffee yet!

I may or may not have taken the photo to be able to identify the creature if needed, as for the life of me I couldn’t remember if scorpions were deadly or not 🤷🏻‍♀️ #alwaysbeprepared.

Anyways foot is fine, scorpion is dead, I am not.. it all worked out. But think this confirms my thoughts that I wouldn’t last a day in Australia (see I told you @Galenkp).

Oh and then I made cookies!!

And all was right in the world again.



How was your week?



Much Love and Steem on,

Justine

lovely place you live at. :)
The people caged in the cities are missing on the real life you got going on over there.

Thank you 🙏 and I totally agree, I need space to roam and fresh air. I’ll take a few stubborn mules over a crowded city any day.

For sure!
City is too loud, many nonsense in your head.
you get to be with the real existence. <3 :)

Awwwwww man! I'm having some serious, serious, serious goat envy! We're totally forested up so I think when they escape instantly we might be in trouble.

Also cookies > scorpions!

Ah, you'd be fine in Australia... we barely have any scorps! I don't think I've ever seen one, so you can just foot around whereevs... you'll be beaut.

Hahah the goats are so cute.. even though they are making more work for me. They just look at me with those big eyes and I melt 😂

Oh yeah right, y’all don’t even notice the scorpions due to the giant snakes and killer kangaroos that populate the place. I would die 😜

Girl... you and that mug! I love your mug shots, you smirks... but I especially love the goats.

Are you popular yet.

Hey @justineh stop being so selfish and throw down a post. Been waiting 4 days now mate...Not good enough J! Get on it! 😉

Sorry, just my way of saying hi! Maybe I'm one of those steem dicks you mentioned in a recent comment to a post someone wrote. Hmm, nah I think not. I'm too adorable for that. 🤗

Anyway, start posting. Aaand...Go! 😘

Hahahah! Sorry.. rough days on the farm.. we lost an alpaca.. stud horse got hung up in a barbed wire fence and so I’ve been doctoring him while taking care of the now orphaned baby alpaca 😕

All is better now, just been an exhausting few days. I’ll try to post something clever today ... maybe something about now I’m an offended feminist or something... which is weird as I love being barefoot in the kitchen. 😄

Thanks for the comment, made me smile ❤️

Oh sorry to hear that. Tough times. Poor little alpaca. I got caught on a barbed wire fence once when I was out hunting. It's funny now, wasn't then. I'll tell the story someday maybe. Hope everything is sorting itself out with the horse.

No pressure to post, it was just my way of saying hi really. Besides, you're best off being in the kitchen baking something it seems, judging by your comment. Cookies!

Well, I'm off to get ready for work...A few meetings today. Not keen, but have no choice. Have a good one.

Busy busy week...

Looks like it was a small scorpion. You have to see the ones we have in Mexico.... Once I have a similar episode with one of the varieties that lives on Veracruz... My arm felt like fire...

I'll be waiting for next entry. Greetings from Mexico.

expected. making cookies for hubby

😂 You’ll have to specify which “Steem hubby” you are referring to.. I get them all confused 😜

Paging @papa-pepper looks like you have some competition in the wild life department! and competition for scorpion pictures!

Justine, really does live on an animal farm. And, a scorpion? Wow!

So, glad it ended up ok! 😂

i tough that all scorpions we're mortal but seems that you had an antidote blood, good to saw you alive!.

The relevance is growing exponentially with each mugshot, it's so provocative and what the steem craves. Without guy holding mug I don't think I'd have made it without the captain of obvious and his cheerleading campaigns. And I don't mean on steem, I'm talking my life!

Now we have mug holding gal and all is right In the world. The cookies triumphantly were taken from the oven to the chagrin of scorpions everywhere ! The universe cheers for the queen of steem and her shots del mug and of cheeky animals that share in her gentle and refined abilities to troll through the mundane temporal things in this realm.

This made me laugh out loud repeatedly now... so I should cool it with the mug shots then? 😂

Awesome I'd much rather make someone laugh than cry or wanna punch me or remove me from airdrops. I think I hit at least two of the above notches today with ease.. Sigh, I try to be decent..

Nice shot with the mug. Am laughing as I read your post. Then, oh, hoping you are okey.

Stoooop flexing with your beautiful peaceful scenery over there! :D

But yeah, my week was pretty bad. It's better now.... but you probably know those days!

I need to get you a Goldmoney shirt asap!

I need to get myself a STEEM/ Steemit shirt one of these days. I always see @stackin post pictures of his STEEM mug, I on the other hand only have a Bitcoin mug.

Glad you survived and LOL at the hashtags.

HOLY CRAP... a scorpion?
And you still led with a picture of you holding a mug... There was a scorpion sting in your post. How do you not lead with that!?

Looks like a great place to be these days! Away from the city rush which I have been finding myself in for work. Cannot wait to get back home just to rest (and Steem away)!

Give me that awesome steem t-shirt :p

Nice shirt! I want one. I’ve been going over ideas for some Steem shirt designs myself. Just been too busy with posting and life to actualize them just yet.

Those animals are adorable, but they are A LOT of work. Hopefully you are receiving something in return. If not, you truly are a kind soul.

That 🦂 has me on edge. If I stepped on one I’d have crushed it in return for the sting. As much as believe everything deserves to live.. those who come at me attacking just aren’t included.

Gave you a follow too. See ya around.

  1. I absolutely love goats. P1060823.JPG
    P1060837.JPGP1060879.JPG

  2. F* Scorpions, I would have cried.

  3. Those cookies look amazing. Super festive plate.

Tags me, places photo of home made cookies...Whilst I'm cookieless down here. Hmm...Now I want cookies.

Looks like a legit property they have there. I like it all except for the scorpions. Those bastard things can fu©k right off. I might be an Aussie but I hat those creepy crawly assholes.

Anyway, I hope ya have a good weekend. I just finished a video of my doing some off roading to rest some suspension parts...I'm warming up to the disappointment DTube is going to serve me when I go to load it. Never works for me.

Oh, by the way that #alwaysbeprepared hashtag is legit. Most are woefully unprepared. I call them willing victims.

Ok, going to chase down some cookies.
