BYC Café

[RoyalChick]

We are in VA. Stopped for lunch before going to N's sisters. We'll print some documents and relax a bit with her family before they take us to Dulles for our flight.
I need to take a long walk before we leave for the airport.

Have a wonderful trip!

Good Morning,

Coffee is ready and so ready to have it. It's pouring rain over here, 2 straight days and at first I was pleased to be inside the house all the time, then yesterday another day of such and my back starting to tell me move it or I will give you ache and pain.

The only way to move more in this rain is to walk inside the shopping centre which is very crowded in this weather and a certain similar thing to covid is lurking.....it is on the news lately so I am going to get on the treadmill for 10 minutes here and there throughout the day.

@Mtn Margie Powershut down on snow winter day, that is going to cause some trouble...too cold

Good Evening,
It is now 10:05pm, I am cooking instant noodle with green beans for me late dinner. I have decided to sleep really late so that I can sleep through and through, try to ease the insomnia. I am so sleepy right now. I have to reset my body clock..this I learned from watching Dr Mosley insomnia documentary.

I saw Winter Olympic is on, I like winter Olympic than the summer one, but I will probably not going to watch much because the commercial tv channel got the right to run it and the endless advertisements and little they show on other countries competing is annoying. I hope that is not the case..but ....

On the news there is another virus similar to covid at the moment. grrrrrr ...not another one!!!

I heard many people are staying sick much longer lately. Maybe these bugs are mutating?

It's 32° for the first in weeks. We have a big crash coming for the weekend. Single digits overnight for the next two, and then much warmer after that.

Anyone watching the Olympics? We might watch some. We enjoy the skiing, I think the figure skating is pretty, and hubby like the luge and luge-type things.

My hubby watches the hockey, men's and womens.

Might be? I heard on the news that there is such illness is lurking similar to corona virus and it is from people traveling and coming home with it. Human are moving around more in the last 20 years then anytime before that.

I had covid once. It was not too bad because I already had a few vaccinations, I was mostly eat, sleep, watch load of movies during my covid illness.

Then I don't know when, I started to feel fatigue here and there, and the fatigue get more, and more. On top of that I have insomnia so things just aren't getting better. My normal is energy fluctuate many times during the day, the more I move the better I feel. Chickens get more move constantly.

Good morning Cafe. Hot coffee is ready.

It is positively miserable out there. It's currently 1 and is expected to drop to -3 by 9:00 then warm back up to 3. I have to go to the feed store in this weather. Dogs will remain safe inside the house. No trips with mommy today.

I purchased three 20"x48" seedling heat mats.. extra large versions of what I use under the nest box material to keep eggs from freezing. I have laid these mats on the coop floor and put a thin layer of wood shavings over them. They don't produce a lot of heat but with the chickens laying on them, it will help them stay warm in this weather. They are spending most of their time in the coop anyway.

All waterer maintenance occurs after dark when the birds have gone to roost to prevent any of them from stepping in sloshed water.

I used a thermostat from a seed heater mat to build an incubator. Worked great.

I have not had covid, got lots of vaccines as recommended by CDC.
