Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[bgmathteach]

Grandma went off for no reason this evening and was in rare form. My nerves are shot, poor Rosie informed me this evening she is ready to talk to her guidance counselor over her. This lets me know that she is very close to needing a therapist. Grandma finally calmed down about a hour ago after she had just about everyone in tears or ready to drink. I honestly cannot take much more. I tried to bring Branch in for some one on one time, that was a epic fail. After dark he is not willing to leave his ladies and he threw a fit until I took him back out. Fine you ungrateful brat. Since my silkie will not snuggle with me I'm destressing by starting from the beginning and reading the silkie's are simply spectacular thread on here. I will get my silkie fix one way or another.

I'm so sorry to hear this, I thought things had gotten a bit better on that front. My heart goes out to both you and Rosie - so much to bear!

Brrrr Chilly!

I am a big chicken hahaha - I lasted about 5 min out there it’s -22C very calm no wind, and a lovely moon!

Next time I want to regal all of you with photos I will put on proper winter clothes! Tuque, insulated coveralls, and ice cleates on my boots!

The moon is still lovely, starting to get light it’s 9am.

Scary creatures are out at night!
I need to figure how it breached the electric fence.

The expanded porch seems to be a success.

Oh No! Poor Rosie (tell her I am sending her hugs, and if she ever wants to rant she can rant to me all she wants

I wonder what set her off? I had hoped that she was settling in and being much calmer as I hadn't heard much from you regarding her misbehaving. I really feel for you, and wish I could offer more than just words. And I know what you mean with the silly birds at roosting time. Like a child who just wants to sleep.

OK well you know how to reach out to any of us if need be (Hugs).

She acted up the days leading up to and on Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving morning demanded to be taken to her house and left to die. My brother stepped in and she settled down for a few days. She is starting up again as Christmas is getting close. She has boycotted us the last several holidays. Last night she said she was going to a nursing home. I wish I had that on video as I would be making those phone calls myself. She needs one. Here is the thing though, we me and mom finally do snap and put her in one, she will never speak to either of us again. As much as I am ready for her to go, I am not ready for that.

Holidays are a hard time for folk with mental health issues. You may be in for a rocky ride for the next few weeks.
Some organizations provide holiday respite for carers - not sure if you have anything like that in your area. Might be worth looking into.
Hang in there.
