Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

It charges with a USB port and lasts an amazingly long time when fully charged - for sure it will last most of the night.
It was @micstrachan who set me on it - I am not sure I have the exact same one as hers as I got one without the misting option.
This is the one I got - I am ordering a second one. I use it for myself when it is very hot out - I clip it to the wheelbarrow for example.

Mine are a different brand, but basically the same thing. They rock!

As I was going back out to the studio, I noticed the sky was an unusual colour for dusk. I grabbed my phone and took two pictures; one with the flash and one without. I then had a play with filters on them and I thought the colours were pretty cool.

1) With flash, unfiltered

2) Without flash, unfiltered

3) With flash, filtered

4) Without flash, filtered

Sometimes you just need to make taking care of yourself a priority (after the number 1 priority that are the chickens of course ! ).
If you don't want to say no, maybe you could postpone some of the things that are less urgent ?
I hope things work out for you, I think you need to find a way to take a break!

Thanks. I just get depressed around my birthday. Thinking of all the things that I never accomplished in my lifetime.

Oh dear I know I shouldn’t laugh

I'm always doing it the same as the cayenne pepper

I’m not life’s babysitter. I left that career long ago. The townspeople won’t leave me alone anymore. “Alex can you come fix this?” “Alex, I know you are busy, but my sink is clogged up, can you help?” “Alex, my friend is sick, can you fly me to Sacramento?0 So much more, I don’t want to share with with this forum.
Then I am the bad guy for saying “No I can’t!”

No is hard but it has to be said, so say it often and say it loud I'm only just learning this. Only help those in the greatest need and stop helping those who expect your free services

Saying No only makes me feel guilty and a failure but you are right. I shouldn’t let people use me. Seems that my kindness is my weakness! I have to change that! Thanks friend
