That makes sense! I figured everyone was probably just super busy. Was mostly just kidding since I was the last post then it went dark

But I know everyone’s got tons to do. I actually should probably go do stuff too haha

How’s your room look?

How’s your room look?

Complete disaster.

BUT!

It’s only a complete disaster because I’ve been working on it and have it completely torn apart right now. It wasn’t that bad before, mostly pretty clean, just a lot of stuff piled in one corner between the bed and the wall so kinda hidden and then piled on top of the dresser and all surfaces but I completely cleared out that corner, the dresser, the table in that corner, etc. (and actually we took the table out today) and emptied out every drawer in the dresser (4 big drawers worth) as well as have a whole basket of stuff to get rid of. And also put some stuff in bins and baskets last night to finish going through today which I’ve mostly gone through already. So now I have stuff everywhere, a million bins, spread all over the room, yesterday I had everything thrown on the bed, a mountain of stuff, but today it’s a little more organized, so I’m getting there haha

I will admit that I still really haven’t done like anything today yet but I’m just now finally eating lunch and finishing my room. I think I could be completely finished today despite the super late start. I’m more determined today.

Yesterday I got up super early and was working off and on all day, I really tried, but kept getting distracted (and not just by the phone either) and/or moving super slowly despite downing caffeine, I just wasn’t that motivated until literally like night time. I stayed up late working and finally started working really hard and got a lot done. It was weird. It took a while. Idk. I’m more of a night owl I guess. Course I was also on here off and on a lot which probably didn’t help but even when I put it away and was working, I was just super slow and unfocused and kept jumping around between tasks all day ha I didn’t really “wake up” and get super focused until literally like evening/nighttime haha course I also downed more caffeine at 7 but still.

But today despite the late start and despite feeling kinda sick from having no food or water all day and having no caffeine yet, I oddly feel way more motivated than I did yesterday when I forced myself to get up and try to work all day.

So therefore, I think I can finish it today.

Especially since after I eat I’m putting this away cause now I’ve been taking time typing this ha

But I think I’ll finish my room and then tomorrow or tonight, depending on how fast I get my room done, I will start tackling the other room. That one will take way longer. And I’ve learned a lot these past few days about strategy and stuff ha so tomorrow I’m gonna spend the entire day working on it with zero distractions or phone. I do have to work tomorrow but I’m going to get up earlier than normal and start on the room before I go and then come straight home and work on it the whole rest of the day. I might even make breakfast/lunch before I go so I don’t have to waste time doing it when I come back.

Oh and I did manage to at least feed the chickens and get the eggs this morning. It was empty and a bit dirty so I cleaned it and refilled it. They had just finished it today so they weren’t starving or anything aha but I do need to come up with a new feeder. That one is too small/empties too fast for all of them and I also don’t like that it’s open. They keep getting stuff in it.

I think I’m gonna switch to buckets.

I tried it once and they didn’t like it so I gave up but too bad haha and that was way before the new chicks were added. I think buckets are much more practical. I’ve had open bowls before. Don’t like those either.

This one is inside the coop currently so it doesn’t get wet or anything and so they have more room in the run but if I went with buckets, it could be outside again.

Anyway, off to finish my room. For real this time. I’m even going so far as to turn this thing off.

Also I did just have some caffeinated tea a few minutes ago but even before that (cause it wouldn’t kick in immediately? And it started way before I even had one sip), I’m like all of a sudden super hyper and energetic. Whereas yesterday I got up early, showered, ate, drank water, had caffeine, all stuff that should have made me super motivated/energetic yet I was still super slow yet today I mostly sat around until an hour ago or two, even had a brief headache earlier from it (food and water fixed it) and now all of a sudden I’m crazy hyper and motivated and running around cleaning

I don’t know why though. Not that matters but I am somewhat curious. Is it just the blood sugar spike from finally eating? Feeling better from going outside/moving? Or actually I did have some of that Emergen-C vitamin/mineral/electrolyte drink powder mix stuff. I wonder if that could do it? Cause I’m finally taking in vitamins? Or maybe the sugar in it? I’m sure it has sugar. And color. Raspberry flavor. Pink. Probably not the best but hey, if that’s what’s making me hyper/motivated/feel good, maybe I should take it every day

Anyway, I’m gonna take advantage of the hyperness/motivation while it lasts and get back to cleaning but even just from my last post I’ve made way more progress on my room in just a few minutes than I have in a long time.

I got two little blue eggs the same day so now I'm sure that the spring pullets are all laying! That's two gold sexlinks starting right at 16 weeks and two EEs at 23-24.
