Awwwwww Pshawww... FORGET the tests!
No, not really. Memory issues are VERY disconcerting. Hopefully it's just the added stress of the "state-of-the-world thing, but it's good that you're looking into it.

My meds can cause it too I think. I am sure he will be telling me to come in sooner than later. Last appt I had with him it was over the phone.

Be careful ... Hardware cloth BITES!

Not only that, it attacks! Unprovoked even!!
Evil brilliant stuff that HC.

edit: unproven to unprovoked

Wear heavy gloves! Then it's harder to handle... Useful, but not fun to work around.
You will never regret having it out there though.

I like those deer skin gloves that Tractor Supply sells.

Luckily I have learned a thing or three with all the coops/brooders I have built.
Yes it bites HARD and with no warning.

I tried a pair of those......while wonderful gloves that hardware cloth rips them up fast.


I did get it up...by myself too.
Trick one....run a 1" screw partially in on the side you are starting on.
Hook the hardware cloth on the screws (have it arching toward you if that makes sense) then if it slips it springs AWAY from your face.
Unroll and hook on screws on the side you are ending on.
I use an air stapler to tack it in place while pulling it tight.
Only after it is installed do I cut it down or off the roll.
I also try to make my windows close to the sizes that hardware cloth comes in. Less cutting that way.

My sister passed away on Friday. Glad she's happy now. That was tough for her. I had heard and read that this would be an easy one. Hard on us now.

Having had both Mom ('06) & Grampa ('97) pass away in my arms. I can wholeheartedly agree in the passing is to a better place!

Cheers to you and yours. Cry when you need to. Don't hold back. It's healthy to wash your soul from time to time. Be alert ffor them to visit in your dreams or in the wind in your ear or that whisper in the back of your mind. They do reach us from time to time. Keep them in your mind and "they" will *know it*.

Oh no!

Last night I slept a bunch!

I seem to do that... not sleep for like a few days or whatever and then sleep a ton.

I’m hoping I sleep well tonight too because I went on a big walk today and didn’t have much caffeine so

Thanks for the hug; I've been reassured that the sleep cycle I get (in my VA group) i *very normal* for veteran like me. The stress, hyper vigilant "normal state of being" and the other attributes are going to be with me the rest of my life as the military doesn't have a method to "untrain" and deprogram the damage we all suffer from...... Those of us in the group sessions are there to get help voluntarily. Sadly our sessions have been "paused" since early March..... Rumor mill has mid June as a possible start-up........


So that tangent to say, my sleep schedule is rather typical for me with a few shorties from the covid-19-mare effect we all get to enjoy.
