Granny's gone and done it again

[CapricornFarm]

I wish I was soaking my aches and pains away. I went to bed around 3am til 7and I woke up peeing. Ya, Time to get some pads for the bed I guess. I dont want to accept it . I know those pills are doing part of it and now that they have been doubled its worse. Neurotin for nerve pain. I dont know why Im telling it. I guess I tell everything I know.
My elbow is no better , In fact its worse. swelling up and it hurts to open the sliding door or even flushing the toilet .

Sounds like you missed your bedtime Granny. You should get that elbow checked.

Pain clinic dr said it was golfers elbow. There is a couple fingers involved. . When I put pressure on them the pain is in my elbow. Its a little different then tennis elbow.

That’s it. We’re wrapping you in bubble wrap granny.

Sigh. Facebook is acting funny again.

...and hubs is fighting with his boss again. I’m at the point where I just wish he’d quit and go back to his old job. Pension is not worth the stress he’s got going on with this boss. And I’m getting pizzlestix’d with how long they take to reimburse him for work expenses, how they play fast and loose with when overtime is paid out (supposed to be the 15th - ahahahahahaha)

How the eff am I supposed to budget with this? Yeah they owe us at least 2k in reimbursements right now.

At least with his old work - I knew everyone and they all kind of adopted me lol. (I still stop by sometimes since it’s so close to my work). If I had an issue like this, I could go talk with the bossman (or other admins) here I know nobody and get told “oh it’s like military chain of command”. Bs. Even military if you had a severe issue with your superior officer you had avenues to discuss said issues.

Why dont he go back then?
I am ready for bubble wrap. I have no idea how I did this to my elbow. hmm.. Wonder if they put that lipator back in my meds again. It damages my tendons. Remember my knee ? Couldnt get in and out the car.

Ugh. I do remember granny

Well. He doesn’t go back because where he was with that company - that was the best he could do. There wasn’t really room for advancement. It was beat yourself up as a mechanic every day. No pension (but they do have a 401k plan). Calfire did offer other avenues other than mechanic...

Sigh. Not sure what he’s gonna do.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

Sucks to be in a dead end job. Maybe he just neds to give this job a little more time . He can move on to a different job . Dont need to be his old one.

ugh. My wish list is 12 chickens long.

White leghorn
Welsummer
silver laced wyandotte
partridge plymonth rock
exchequer leghorn (maybe)
easter egger
speckled sussex (NON NEGOTIABLE!)
Blue/black/splash andalusian
australorp
austra white
cuckoo bluebar blue egger
barred rock (I miss my piggies)

Need to check my heat tolerances and sizes for most of these guys - gotta keep em big so the hawks dont get em. I dislike that my pet chicken doesn't list size right off the bat for their breeds.

Edit: interesting they don't list the austras as being especially heat tolerant - aren't they an Australian breed?? I don't remember having any heat issues with my little lorp though - it was Buffy and Sansa that had to go into the shower to cool down. No more orphs for me.

 

[twisted-acres-farm]

Really? You had them checked?


Oh no. Where in N. Cal? That's why I cannot believe that there are any sort of poultry swaps allowed in CA or in Arizona. It's just too risky, and it's spreading now.

ROTFLMAO no the human granny

 

[AlleysChicks]

Pro the leghorn and Andalusian are basically the same. They do fine with heat but winter they get frostbite in cold climates. Also very lean and not huge.

 

[prostar]

Well, don't have to worry much about winter frostbite here. Maybe I should take the exchequer leggy off and keep the blue/black/splash andalusian - little cheaper and still gorgeous.

apparently speckled sussexes don't tolerate heat well? that's news to me...and neither do the austras? what?

So on my list, apparently wyandottes, austras and sussexes don't tolerate heat. hm... Maybe I should take off the wyandotte...
