I missed all of you tonight! I was a busy lady! My little bro (who's not actually "little" but 22 and much bigger than me) came over after work and helped me with my run. We made what is *hopefully* the last trip to Lowe's for this dang thing! He got most of the run framed out before dark. Tomorrow he is going to come back to finish the framing, roof the whole shabang, help me cut a bunch of trim, etc. Hopefully by the end of the weekend it will be completely finished. I painted the coop tonight, in the dark, using only my cellphone as a flashlight. I think it came out pretty awesome but we'll see what it looks like in the daylight haha. I still have to paint all the trim we cut tomorrow and all of the framing for the run. It's all going to be white. Grey with white trim, same as my house. Pink interior...not so much, it looks pretty rad in the coop though!
I'm not sure what's going on with the Polish. I was bidding on them and was outbid. I haven't decided whether or not I want to bid again. Sucks because they're in CT and the lady said I can just pick them up from her if I won. She seemed really nice. I wish she'd just cancel the stupid auction and sell me the chickens. At least I'll have my Houdans. I wish I could get all of my birds from the same place so I didn't have to quarantine.... I know the girl I'm getting these chicks from has a 2 week old Silkie and a few bantam Cochins, I think... Not really what I want though. Plus, I'm already taking a chance that these chicks are roos. I don't need to also end up with Silkie and Cochin roos. Maybe I'm better off getting definitely sexed birds.
Now I'm just rambling....
I'm having sleeping problems again. For the past few nights I couldn't even relax until 3am and didn't fall asleep until much later. I'm wide awake right now. I've also been getting nauseous after I eat. I have anxiety problems, not sure if it's related or what. I'm sick of feeling like this but I hate doctor visits and won't take meds unless I'm in excruciating pain or something. Sigh.....
Eh...I'm glad this day is over. It was a pretty crappy one, minus the progress on the coop. Having some issues at work lately that I don't quite know how to deal with. It's a long, sort of complicated story, but without going into detail... Being walked all over and taken advantage of is getting very old, very fast. I'm sick of being expected to handle the tasks of AT LEAST two employees on a daily basis for the last two years while nobody else strolls in until anywhere between 3:30 or 5:00pm. Mind you, I am just one of four employees. The other three are much older than me and attached at the hips. Two are a married couple and the other is our boss. The three of them hang out regularly outside of work. Funny enough, I used to hang out as well but they started blowing me off and completely excluding me....inside and outside of work. There wasn't even a falling out or anything, they just started getting very stand-offish. I think they just have no respect for me or my ideas or opinions because I'm so much younger than them. I actually caught them talking about me upon re-entering the building after realizing I'd left my phone last night. It's like WHOA, how old are you guys again? I'm just getting a little fed up with being the odd man out all the time. I think this is why I prefer animals over people.
Maybe I'm just feeling sorry for myself tonight, I don't know. I hate airing my dirty laundry like this but I needed to vent, big time and was hoping for a little feedback, too. The boyfriend was much needed tonight but he couldn't make it over
At least I've got my pups.
