My whole chicken yard collapsed from the weight of the snow yesterday.

Thankfully, they have a large run that is *somewhat* weather resistant, and they don't want anything to do with the snow, but I really don't like this time of year.

Oof, that stinks! Hopefully it's not too damaged and you still have something to work with once the snow is gone.

I was worried mine would do the same, but we didn't get quite as much snow here. The birds still don't want to go outside today, though. -5°F this morning, only supposed to get to 2° above zero today, and windchill values at -25°.

Hey

How's it going?

How's it going?

Okay. I’m really tired/depressed/blah/idek today. So that sucks. I just want to lay down but I’m forcing myself to stay out of bed. I got plenty of sleep. It’s just the depression I think. I am also still fighting urges so there’s that. But otherwise okay.

Hang in there! Got anything you can do to occupy yourself in the mean time?

(Also, apologies for taking so long to respond--I stepped away from my computer just after posting to get supper cooking )

Thanks! And it’s okay! I understand! And well, I ended up taking a shower which helped a lot and now we’re on our way to my brother’s house for a short visit which should help too.

I’m basically just distracting myself

Distracting yourself isn't necessarily a bad thing! Enjoy your visit with your brother!

Thanks!!! I did. I’m gonna draw when I get home I think and listen to music.

Trouble is I have the means to get into trouble again and I’m trying not to use them until I can give them away again. So it’s harder to not do it.

That's fine! You don't have to make huge strides all the time!

Sometimes, just treading water is enough to keep yourself from drowning.
