Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

I know that I am still not feeling well, but I have all the prescriptions and support I need now, here at home.

Lay off the smarties as much as possible. God didn't make these things he left an abundance of natural healing in our world

Wonderful!! I'm sure Jaffar and the ladies will be happy to spend some time with you (and you with them) Have some good food, relax, snuggle, and watch a movie.

Any diagnosis? How are you feeling (other than hungry & lonely)?

He can't be lonely with Jaffar Arizona and us

What a lovely mug shot of Hattie! I love her eyes...they are like Astralorp eyes, deep coloring and somewhat large. I have a hen (Raven) that is part Astralorp and has those large brown eyes...when she cocks her head and looks at me, it makes me melt. (It doesn't help that she is such a sweetie, too, similar to Hattie . She follows me everywhere when I am out!)

I was outside with the chickens, and I could have sworn that Beethov-Hen squawked “winter solstice day sucks!” That’s what I thought I heard

I actually like it because it means it gets better and better every day from now on.
I really hate the short days. I want to go to bed right after the chickens do and that is at 4pm at the moment.

I used to be a Nurse....

Even here Nurses this day and age are seriously lacking in proper 'hands on care'. They have too much theory (read university training), and not enough practicum (read old fashioned training).

Anyways I guess that is what they call progress. Used to be we had community nurses (I was one) now it seems that is no more...

One thing I am certain of: best decision I ever made was to get out Nursing! Better pay, benefits, holiday, etc in the real world.

1st, thank you for trying nursing and then realizing it was not for you and then leaving the profession. Too many stay and are miserable.

2nd, Mrs BY Bob is a nurse and, as she says, will always be a nurse. She will retire as a nurse this February but will still go back occasionally as they might need her.

3rd, your post requires a tax payment. I see nothing in there discussing chickens in any way.

4th, I'm going to get on my high horse here, sorry Chaco . While nursing can be a good career, it should be more of a calling. The best nurses are there despite the horrible way they are treated by the Healthcare systems and doctors. They are there because the have a calling to take care of patients. They put up with everything else because of that calling.

Too many people have gotten into nursing because it is a "good job". As Mrs BY Bob reminds me, "real" nurses don't work M-F no weekends, no holidays. A "real" nurse has likely just completed a 12 hour shift and been told she cannot go home because there is not enough staff for the next shift and has been mandated to stay. They stay because the patient is paramount.

I will get off the horse now, thanks Chaco.

Chicken tax
