do pancakes make the world a better place?

please say yes they do.
so in between my diabolically dishonest moments where I sit around and make shit up..today, so far...has pretty much sucked.
the plumbers have come and sort of fixed the toilet..if I hold the handle in some unclear certain way.
the septic truck is not actually coming, they got tied up on a dig up and find FIVE septic tanks farm and will not make it here today. hah!..they should have come here first...we already did the xray/dig and find the tank thing and our tanks are now all clearly marked...they would have had an easier day.
mr. gloomy plumber does not think our tanks are the problem anyway...he thinks our septic field is gone which means a 30 thousand dollar bill...yeah like that's ever going to happen unless I win the lottery.
pretty much anything to do with water, plumbing and septics totally sucks BIG TIME at saints.
the washer machine died..all the backups in the shop leak and the new recently generously offered freebie ain't here yet. I hiked off to my favorite kind hearted appliance store and he knocked $200 off the cost of getting a new one up here tomorrow so we can cheerfully continue on our committed quest to destroy as many as possible, various brands of.. washing machines.
the vet was out...both raven and flicka had dentals..and I hate dental day at the best of times. poor horses drugged into submission with metal things holding their mouths open wide..necessary yes but I hate it all the same.
and then there is chevy..the vet was just blunt. he is a danger to every human and animal with those horns. it doesn't matter if it is on purpose or accident, he can easily gore somebody by just tossing his head or getting pushy or bossy or even defending himself. he said take them off or put him on a truck...horns on cows are too dangerous to fool around with. since sending him to slaughter or putting a three year old perfectly healthy and sweet mini-steer down are not my kind of options...I guess we are all biting the bullet and getting those horns taken off.
I so do not want to be here on the day of the sad deed...nor in the days that follow during his recovery.
gawDAH! why wasn't he done as a babe??? I freaking hate rescue today.
anyway..the feed run is done. angel will probably come home tonight minus the IV. I really feel like knocking myself off but instead I think I will heat up those leftover pancakes cuz I am freaking starving to eat up my feelings today!
Good to get Chevy done when it is cool and the flies won't be such a problem.
