From @Pastel the Rooster :
Hi FBA! I hope everyone is doing well. I miss you guys a ton.
Chicken math has taken over my whole family and flock… As of right now, I have 24 chickens (I’m giving one away soon, as he bullies the girls.) I might be getting some D’uccle’s from a friend pretty soon. I bought eight more chickens, and they will be here around January 7th! Three Cream Legbars, three Black Copper Marans, and two Easter Eggers! I’m hoping for all pullets, but since two breeds aren’t autosex, I have a feeling I’m going to get a rooster or two.
Life here hasn’t been the greatest lately. It’s just been an awfully hard year, especially for Dad. He needed to retire because of his stroke, so money is going to be short now. His dad passed away just over a week ago. I don’t want to dwell on the sad things though.
My grades are great! The semester is ending on Friday, and I will get all new classes.
For my current classes, I have one 97, a 99, an 89 (which I’m hopefully getting up to a 90 on Monday), and a 90. I’m worried that next semester won’t be as great, since I have math, but I’m going to try very hard to get all A’s!
Since my grades have been pretty good this year, my parents have been a lot more lenient with me. And they have also gotten me a ton of stuff that they never would’ve gotten me. For example:
Yesterday (12/14) we went to a tack shop so that I could get a few things for Auggie. I went there looking for a new bit (because I have no connection with him using the one I had before) and a new girth strap because the other one didn’t fit.
I came out with a lot more than that.
I came out with a brand new western saddle ($250, it was on consignment but the old owner never used it), a new western bridle, and a western saddle pad. Not to mention the latigo and off latigo, western reins, a martingale, a new bit, and two cinches.
I paid $161 of the total cost, which wasn’t great, but it’s how much I had saved up. Apparently Mom and Dad went there knowing that they would get me a saddle if there was one under $300.
I am very happy and I’m super excited to learn a bit of western. I’ll take more pictures of it next time I go to the barn.
