One last dear diary before I get distracted until I can catch up... my daughter came home sick yesterday from school. Within a couple hrs she was running a 102 fever and had severely sore throat. I started her on elderberry immediately (we had run out and I had not been doing the once a day while we were on our trip but once a day is the normal dosage as a deterrent). Anyway my child tested positive today at the pedi for strep yet woke up this morning without a temp
and saying she felt better. I cannot believe the difference. We have battled strep more times than I can Count on my fingers and toes and not once have I ever been able to control the fever without pushing ibuprofen and Tylenol in rotation. Y'all I'm starting to believe in the powers of the berry more and more! This stuff is amazing!

So today I had 3 scrambled eggs fresh from the coop (I've been slacking collecting them so we didn't even have any refrigerated so I went and got some from outside lol), sauteed power greens mix (spinach, baby bok choy, baby chards), 2 or 3 big spoonfuls of cottage cheese, and a cherry tomato I picked today. The veggies I had to sautee in canola oil unfortunately because I couldn't find any olive or coconut oil. That was 11:30, a little late but didn't want to have a huge sandwich lol and I have so much energy. But then I just had a 1 1/2 celery sticks (part of one was a little bad) with peanut butter and grapes again and 2 more spoonfuls of cottage cheese and I have a teeny tiny slight barely headache. Possibly from the sugar? Idk. Shouldn't have had that maybe but since I just had brunch 2 hours ago, I didn't want full lunch and didn't want a big carb loaded sandwich to lower my energy or a salad and too much greens. So healthy snack it was. I also didn't even touch my phone this morning. Checked a couple texts and returned a call maybe, and texted FSIL after walking their dog (and took pics) but besides that, not really at all. Normally I am glued to it and checking BYC, Twitter, etc. And often late for stuff cause I just sit there glued to it instead of getting ready. Not today. Well, I was a little late cause when I went to get the eggs I also decided to water all of my plants and collect all the ripe tomatoes so that took a bit of time but I wanted to eat so still took the time to prepare breakfast and eat it even though I possibly shouldn't have but for once I was late because I was actually being productive instead of doing nothing. I also got up before my alarm. It's 10:30. I woke up 2 minutes before. I also can't remember waking up during the night at all which might be part of why I have so much energy? I went to bed I think around 1. Sometimes I go to bed earlier or later but I usually always wake up at least once during the night and hit snooze until 10:45 or 11. Not today. I leaped up lol and like I said, barely touched my phone, watered the plants and animals, made breakfast, walked the dog, had a snack, etc. AND. I even brushed my teeth after breakfast and switched shirts cause the one I had on was covered in dirt from the tomatoes but sometimes I would wear it anyway cause I'm gonna get gross anyway but nope not today. Idk why I am so different today. I did also take a claritin though and my eyes are actually open LOL and took this

Let me be sure to add she woke up feeling "better" and with no temp prior to ever using antibiotics! Tell me that's not nuts for strep!

Had an uncle that raised beautiful game birds back in the day in Missouri. Best fed birds around. He was a judge too for the fights before they were outlawed. The cock birds had to be tethered to their individual coops...out of striking distance from their neighbor. The hens were attentive mothers.


My mom used a paperback book to teach herself yoga positions back when I was in high school in the early 70s. It was great fun.



I use Oxine in the plastic water containers and rubber trugs. No algae.


Thanks. On the Oxine, I use a tsp per gallon of water in the big waterers and 1/4 tsp for the quart waterers for the cage birds.
The brown or red algae is the worst. Green algae seems a favorite by the ducks...they like it growing in their swimming pools...although I scrub them frequently.

Down to 670 posts now.

So @NanaKat you just add the oxine straight to drinking water? Do you spray the coop down with it ever? I have a gallon but I've been trying to decide how I want it use it.

Total cost from what I can tell is $108. Not bad.
@KikisGirls You should add this info to your necropsy price thread: You can only personally deliver the bird if you are the owner or a veterinarian.

Thank you! Had eggs and the sauteed greens again this morning but no cottage cheese cause I had ACV, honey, lemon juice, in hot water. Although I must admit that yesterday and today I spent the afternoon inside watching TV and hitting junk food again and developing a migraine although today at least I started watching TV later cause I was out later and eating less junk and don't quite have a migraine yet
