I really, really want lemon squares, but I can't be bothered to make them from scratch (box mixes aren't worth it) and I don't know where I can buy them.

Mmm.. lemon squares :drool I don't mind box mixes but I always tweak them to make them better. Like adding some extra lemon zest and/or juice or something to bump up the flavor.

Thanks! Still not as productive as I would like though :( but better than usual I guess. I did spend about 2 hours on it this morning so wasted that time which was bad but I did get up earlier than usual because I went to bed much earlier than usual so it wasn’t entirely wasted because th time I spent on that was time I would normally be spending sleeping so I didn’t lose as much time. Idk. Probably not making sense but basically sometimes I don’t even wake up until 11 or 12 (yesterday it was 1 but I stayed up till 3:30 :oops:) but today it was 10:30, 11 because I went to bed around 1. I’m disappointed I broke my own rules and went on it and wasted all morning before I even ate or did anything and kind of ruined the advantage I had of getting up earlier BUT at least now it’s still only relatively early afternoon and not like 5 haha and honestly, idk why, this is really really weird, but I am now like... bored. Lol like I don’t want to sit here. I am going to go off I think. Maybe it is because I sat here all day yesterday and most of the day Wednesday ha but anyway, I think I finally got off the internet and got moving like 11:30 or 12 and then I worked out, cleaned my room a little bit (not a ton but put away all my clean pajamas that were piled on the floor), and then I admit I have been back online a little bit after that and ate lunch later because of it but I did finally also eat lunch like idk two hours ago, and then I just took care of the chickens cause they were out of food, and I’ve kind of been online in between that time so that’s bad but also outside some, internet was in and out while they were fixing it so was not on it that whole time, so idk. Been on it less but still have moments where I start to sit and stare at it but I have been better at stopping myself in those moments so that’s good at least and I did get a little bit accomplished. It doesn’t feel like it though. I still feel super lazy

You aren't going to "be cured" (for lack of better phrasing) in just one day. Don't be so hard on yourself. You should allow yourself to be able to focus on the good stuff that you've done today. If you ONLY focus on all the stuff that makes you feel bad, all it is going to accomplish is making you feel never good enough. That is not healthy (mentally) and it leads to more not so healthy behaviors. It is GOOD to acknowledge the stuff that you need to work on. It is good to share here. It is a way to hold yourself accountable and that is a good thing. There is a lot of love, and it may at times be the not so fun Tough Love to be given, but people around here care enough to give it. So if you've done more today than you usually do, that's great! It is an accomplishment. Are you perfect? No. But do you have the ability to improve. Yes. Think of it as a challenge to maybe do something else, no matter how small. A little more each day. Just keep moving 1 step at a time. :hugs

Also, if you have a Kroger's near you, in their bakery area section they often have lemon squares packaged, already made and ready to eat. Of course you pay for them doing all of the work... but they usually do. I'm such an enabler! :oops: :lau

It’s kind of long but I need your guys’ opinions. Do you think these could work as breeding pens?

4 hens to 1 rooster is our ideal fit.

Looks great space wise to me. You already know you'll need to do a little bit of work to make them predator and chicken safe. That frame/roost could probably stay as long as it's solid.
