IT IS WITH DEEP SADNESS THAT I PRONOUNCE THE WEEKEND GONE. IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THE NICEST WEEKEND, BUT IT WILL STILL BE MISSED.

Quote: Pretty well, actually. Doc said I can resume normal activities, although I'm sure he'd rephrase that if he knew what my normal activities could consist of. Cleared me to drive, but I don't have anywhere I need to go. Incision still itches like h3ll @ night where it's trying to heal, but I can live with it.

Quote: Usually can't even see the rocker for all the jackets I've thrown in it 'cause the coat tree, which is pretty much full already, is an extra 3 steps.

Awh your just waiting for that warm flat water morning crappie bite after picking the boat up off the hi-way.

Figured as much.
I think you're going to end up like my neighbour.... Living unassisted at 93 with a whole mess of chooks and quail.

@minihorse927 They are 9.5 weeks old. These are the ones I hatched from your eggs.

wow all girls! I got 4 boys and 1 girl from my eggs. The shipped egg that survived was a girl luckily. The last one looks blue? Or is it lighting?

Yes it's a blue.......actually more of a light grey.

Quote: I got them toys yesterday, a couple catnip stuffed cloth fish and a few of those little balls with bells in them. They came out more last evening while I was reading in bed, and last night I could hear them. I was SO relieved to hear noise indicating that the second litter box had been located and used (toileting was my one big worry, everything else is negotiable), and lots of little crunchy eating noises and water drinking noises. So all the necessities are covered and I can relax.

Opal is now occasionally ok with me seeing her, though not approaching or making sudden movements. Brooke came out a couple times, but still mostly hides. But this morning, after roosters started crowing but before my alarm went off, I was lying in bed half asleep when Brooke jumped up - I think to get at the bay window behind the bed. My eyes were open so we stared at each other for a while. Then I made the mistake of saying hello, and she scampered. But hey, it's something! Cancelling the vet appointment tomorrow - no way am I going to be able to get them into their carriers yet.

Not for me!
Sadly, the recipe will not be repeated. They are no better than cookies. I didn't use much of it, so I'm likely to add raisins, and make it into two loaves of spiced bread tomorrow.

The spiced bread sounds better than donuts to me....

Glad you're mending. Agree with wondering if doc knows your normal activities...

Truer words never said.

OK, I have to go tend the chicks. Dreading to maybe find more dead ones. I really wish it would stop.

Here's hoping you don't have any more dead ones, Kristin.

I hate that feeling when chickens are dying and you can't stop it...

Good morning Abi, thank you.
