Last night, Duckling moved a step stool in her room. Last month, I fractured my foot. An hour ago, I landed on the ground after falling from the sky, after going through the roof, after hitting my foot just right (or wrong) on the stool. I can’t believe I didn’t swear.

Ok let me see if I got this right. You slipped and fell due to the surprise of Duckling moving the step stool getting airborne landing flat on your back, re injuring your already hurt ankle. In extreme pain you went through the roof without cussing. Wow not bad I’d still be cussing.

Update: We're down to five birds (one roo and four hens). Husband didn't tell me that the waterer broke and so they hadn't been getting water. Lost three hens due to the water and Duchess has disappeared so I fear the worst. We've filled some bowls as a stop-gap until tomorrow when we can buy a new waterer from the store.

Baby is stabilizing his feedings at around 8 3-ounce feedings per day and sleeping better. I'm still only producing maybe an ounce or two per pumping but I'm making a firmer commitment to pumping every two or three hours and eating/drinking better so production might go up. Caught a plugged duct early and I've been working it out with massage and pumping like the midwife said to, so it hasn't evolved into the fever/infection that it did last time. It HURTS but I know I have to do it if I want to continue feeding breastmilk.

Good news is that my cracking is finally almost totally healed. Surprisingly Blistex is the thing that got it to finally start healing and after a couple applications the cracking is nearly gone! Honeybee survived his first two hour trip out yesterday and tomorrow is our first day-long trip out to get his passport and to buy some needed items like breastmilk storage bags. I think as long as we bring bottles so he can eat while we're out he will do fine.

I’m actually a talented person. The fracture is on the top of my foot. I caught it under the stool, shooting straight up in the air.

If I wanted to sell fertile eggs and collected them at night to ship the next day or two, where would I put them? On my kitchen counter? I heard you weren't supposed to do that?
