Greetings all! Happy 123123!
It's a rather lazy NYE. We're headed to my husband's cousin's house tonight and I'm making baked beans. My beans take nearly 4 hours and are, frankly, delicious, if I do say so myself! Nothing healthful about them for sure! I've been good as gold and trying to lose weight, but tonight I'm not counting calories.
All the retirement talk...I was supposed to in 2024. Not gonna happen. We could make ends meet, but not comfortably given the cost of insurance and meds. But, working, we can literally pay off our car in March and our house in about 2 years after that if we throw every extra dollar at it. Our mortgage isn't that big and with me working we have quite a bit of disposable income. So there you go...28 years of payments, or 2? Kind of a depressing no-brainer. I like my job most of the time but I am tired.
On the chicken front, the determination is made. Tres is outta here. I've contacted the fella who took Manny and he'll see if his friend still wants him. I went out and tossed yummy scraps in the run today and Tres actively ran Meanie away from the food and back into the coop. When I went into the coop and put a few meal worms out for her, he came and ate all those himself! There was no nice roo tuc-tuc-tucing for his girls. He just ran her off and gobbled it down. Even with me running him out, he came back twice and took the opportunity to chase her all over before catching her for mating, with her trying to get away every second.
Yeah...he's not a nice roo. If they don't want him I may send him to freezer camp.
