Today's Accomplishments

I knew that I would be feeling all the extra activity from running errands all day Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and I was right. I am sore and hurting some but I have battled on today. I did get three loads of laundry done and two of those put away. The third load was towels and I left them in the dryer for another day. No hurry for those so it is okay. I did all the routine chores outside with feeding and watering the chickens and dogs and cleaned out the baby chick tub. The six babies are doing good. The photo posted is one from two days ago.

It's a good sore though. You know you earned it. Nice picture.

@just4him I have not done anything out of ordinary this weekend so hopefully this will all work out of my system. I do want to venture out to the flea market tomorrow and hit Dollar Tree to see what is in stock in the crafting department. Also, need to pick up a couple bananna pepper and bell pepper plants since I did not start anything from seed this year.

And I'm still sore. I know better than to push the limits. I just hope a full blown Fibro flare doesn't come on.

I should wash my towels today, I did my laundry three days ago, but I change towels every other day. The chicks look very nice.

Mine are still safe and sound in the dryer. Ha! I'm in no hurry to fold them. I usually compromise and get hubby to either do them or help with them.

@LadyDuck It really doesn't. I have found that he will complain if I ask him to do the hard stuff so I save easy things like folding towels for him.

Hubby ended up taking a nap after doing a little mowing in the yard. He's getting a repeat on the upper respiratory infection it sounds like so he started taking his prescription that he stopped because it made him sleepy. So I had a couple hours this afternoon of quiet and most of the night. He went to bed around 8 pm! I told him he should have worn a mask while mowing but nope, that is too much trouble!! Men!

@wolfgirl569 I do too! But if I was all stopped up and couldn't breathe to begin with and go out to mow and stir up dust, grass and pollen; I would wear the mask for a few minutes. Well today he doesn't want to sleep all day/night so didn't take it. He got relief for one day--it's supposed to be a cure all, ya know? Something has to give. He has one blood pressure med he can't take any more. Allergic reaction where his head itches like crazy and fluid pill tears his stomach up. He's a mess right now. Told him to put in call to dr. and let them know so he can get a replacement called in. Nope. Ok so sign in online and send a message. Nope--he hates that system. So he will just have to deal with going to ER or whatever when he has to.

@kareng I hate wearing masks for anything so I can understand that See if you can keep that medicine around. It could be very useful

Tomorrow is going to be a rain day for at least half the day so I'll have the morning free.

@DianneN I would love to send you some of our rain. So far today is looking nice and I am about to get out of the house for the afternoon. A quick trip to flea market to straighten up and then I'm doing a bit of shopping!

It is a lot of work. They need just about constant attention.

@DocAndersen You are exactly right on the twins! We were lucky that our set was not as active as the oldest daughter. We would have been in BiG trouble.

@kareng oh yeah, we had twins, no problem when they couldn't move. But, then there were three years of eyes open running! (they always went in different directions!)

@Bubba90 The afternoon is good. The rain has stopped until tonight and the sun is trying its best to shine. We are going to need a good 5 days in a row to dry this stuff up. Have rain through next Tuesday!

YOu earned a respite. What is the green stuff in the bowl?

Those are marbles just to take up space in the drinking water to keep them out of it. It helps but not fool proof. Not needed anymore but good for 1-2 day old chicks. You don't want them getting all wet and chilled.

Right, they don't all hatch at the same time. The largest is 4 days older than the last one to hatch.

I have chilled mostly this evening. I did have an online party for my oldest daughter going tonight but it was only for two hours. I've been trying to catch up on Ebay, emails, etc. I still have some samples to send out and one Farmasi order to get ready to mail tomorrow. Always someting to do here!

Those are chubby chicks. You're doing a good job on raising them.

Thank you. I try to keep food in there for them. Hubby is amazed at how fast they clear it out!! He's been refilling the dishes of food and water too when he is up in early hours of mornings.
