Old age and heights…

Jump Aunt Kelly come on it’s not that far ……

Today not only do I have the posts hay piling aches and pains, I also have two bruised knees a wrenched right shoulder and neck, and it’s pelting down rain and I have a migraine.

when we got the hay piled into the loft, the access hatch on the east aide of the loft was not accessible. So a ladder is needed to get down.

Unless you’re a 23yr old tomboy who plays soccer 3 times a week and works in construction and is very fit.

And taunting her old aunt to do something she shouldnt really be doing its just not fair! This is why I have such decrepitude. I will take that dare! Ride the crazy horse - sure! Throw rocks at basket ball sized hornet nests - sure! Hahaha

Jumping out of the loft door onto the hay wagon - maybe not… but if Julia and my cousin can do it, so can I!

So Julia reaches up to give me her hand to steady me and I sit on the edge of the loft door, and make a leap of faith down - it’s still a good 5’ from the bottom of my feet even sitting on the doorway!

Thump, then knees give out, I pitch forward oh but don’t worry there are a few bales on the wagon I held back for feeding this week, to break my fall.

So right shoulder / head crash into the bales and landing on my knees and complete the maneuver with a thud onto my right side onto the wagon deck.

Phew! Down yay! Owwwwww!

“Aunt Kelly why did you throw yourself down and do a face plant - wow your crazy, even Allison (my other nice fyi) made it down and she couldn’t even pile the hay like you could, geeeez your sad”

Sad??? As in pathetic I take it ??!!

To which I replied:
“Hey kiddo - I am almost 60! I am an old lady - you could at least ask if I was ok!?”

Her come back:
“Well your still better than Allison at piling hay! Even with all the wheezing huffing and swearing ….”


Hahahaha youth- one day she will be my age

Meanwhile I am staggering around - think some pain meds are in order. Once I get my tea and snack

Hmmm thunderstorms - go away and take the rain back with you where it came from on this day….. and my migraine …

Ahhh there it goes another song stuck in my head (snowbird by Anne Murray)…

Agreed Epsom salt bath and then rub in that arnica

Chicken Sory: My chickens are used to me and no one else I only get to touch Dottie unless they are in trouble or locked out then they come right to me. Today we were in the coop/shed looking to see if we needed to buy more chicken feed. And freya let my hubby pet her beak through the chicken wire! She didnt move from him and he did it longer than a minute or two. .......I tried and she moved and walked away. wth! Girl who feeds you! women geez

I think that if you win the lottery and/or get a camp job, you should buy a jaccuzzi instead of getting more chickies! Heated jaccuzzi, little epsom salts (can you put that into a jaccuzzi??), and you will feel like you are only 45!!!!

Hey I think I am only 19!

Body laughs at brain

Awwww that’s awesome! Bet they love that! Do you have lots of crickets? My gals love snapping up crickets on Mount Poopmore (the manure pile).

And grasshoppers! It’s great fun watching them catch those!

My cat, my. Arab mare truly, and Old Penelope all prefer guys to hang around with (truth be told me too, we women can be such drama queens!).

Verdict is still out on the rest of the hens hahaha

 

[Ponypoor]

Now that all warrants an epsom salt bath!
Feel better soon.

…. And maybe some of mums homemade raisin brandy (she brews it up in a bucket in her room hahaha).

SHRA!
