Old leaves and new buds

The dairy owners have found time to take a short vacation to Las Vegas and, of course, that's when problems crop up. Melissa was sick over the weekend and plans on still being sick on Friday so Mike2 (not to be confused w/ the other Mike who works at the dairy) has been filling in for her. Jose works w/ me on Wednedays and Thursdays but the night milker became sick so Jose took his place which means he wasn't available to work this morning. The herdsman was able to fill in today. I'm hoping that we can all keep it together for a few more days so the owners can have a break -and- that no one else gets sick (especially me).
