I stayed up until 5:30am last night and got like 3 hours of sleep. That’s the only reason I was gonna go back to sleep. Cause I woke up at like 8:30-9 and was going to. But then I couldn’t fall back to sleep which is why I got on here and got up. I’ve been up for a while now but I realized 11 or even 10:30 (when I posted that) was too late to try to go back to sleep which is why I decided not to haha I wasn’t saying I was trying to right then. Just that I had tried earlier and couldn’t.

That’s nowhere near the latest I’ve ever slept though.

But I’ve been trying to go to bed earlier and get up earlier lately. It’s only when I stay up crazy late I usually sleep in. But I didn’t today or yesterday. I’ve gotten up early.

Also, it’s not nice here. It’s cold (like 40ish) and cloudy and windy (or gusty). Sun is starting to come out though but still cold as heck.

But still, point taken.

Anyway, I was only going to go back to sleep because I didn’t sleep last night. Not because I like wasting the day

Wait-a-minute ... do people still keep track of time during the "lockdown?" I'm having trouble remembering what DAY it is, let alone the time!

Day 39 of everything's being closed in my area.
I can't imagine how horrible it is now for those who can't work.

Hugs to you, @Loreli. You're welcome here.

Thank you BigBlueHen53. I’ve never been a social media person but I’m sure happy to have you guys. And lucky for you I’m a slow typer so you don’t have to get a whole big giant earful of a rant. Thank you. I’m needing it now so thanks.

I got all the stuff and am heading over to overnight him now but I’m still not really sure why I necessarily need to do the test. I mean, I’m going to, I already called them and they’re expecting him, but no matter how it comes back, positive or negative, it’s not going to change anything. I’m not really going to do anything differently except of course not sell birds now I guess but I never did that anyway. And I was going to just presume he was positive and treat it as such anyway. So if it comes back positive, well, I was already planning to take those precautions anyway. So I’m essentially just throwing $100, maybe $130 (idk how much overnighting is), away.

You're not throwing it away. Consider it like an insurance premium, only instead of accident protection, you're paying for solid information. Once you have that knowledge, you can use it to protect and treat any and all of your current and future flocks. If you spread the cost over all of those birds, it's worth it. You're doing the right thing!

WATCH PARTY! That's what we'll put on tonight! Last night was "The Devil Wears Prada," I'd never seen it before - pretty good movie! The night before, we watched "The Producers." It took a while to get "into," but once we adapted to the "Ferris Bueller meets Old Movies" style, we were rolling!
tonight, once I get the kids on board, it's Princess Bride, all the way!

Woohoo, sounds like fun!

New Jersey today : 92,387 positive cases +4,250
4,753 deaths +377

No peak or leveling off here. Southern and coastal NJ are catching up to the northeastern corner of the state.

What's happening in your state ?

I have no clue what day it is ever I'm having such a hard time keeping track of my hatches.

I'm so bored right now with lockdown that I'm actually mowing three acres with a push mower

Ok..just chiming in. No one knows. Read what you want. Believe what..you..want. Then, we all just chill and let it go. Thank Heavens we still have that freedom. To believe what we want. Vote for who we want. Still praying for those on the front line. This is a truth. People are still dying in masses daily..throughout the world. Prayers for those suffering and their families. God Bless America!
