Granny's gone and done it again

Power came back on, but not for dad. He had an outage a few days ago too. Getting ridiculous. There is a young couple a few doors down from us. They have an adorable 2 yr old boy and last month, the mom had twins (one of each). 3 little babies to care for is hard enough without the power going out all the time. Poor #1 was in the shower. No fun if you run out of water before you rinse the soap off.
I get the whole "first world problem" thing, and really I am always grateful for the basics of life, like clean running hot water... it's an underappreciated miracle! But these dang power companies have got us addicted to our conveniences and gadgets, and it's like having the rug pulled put from under you to suddenly be cut off. Paying an arm and leg for it too! sigh
Rant of annoyance is now concluded.

Hello all,
very excited to take part in this journey with you, and I can't wait to get close and personal 😉! I have only just set up my account but to share a little bit about me:
1) I'm a proud mama hen of my nine darling little chicklets
2) My gorgeous duck Verruca is starting to heal after getting in a fight with my aunt's fox Bertha (praise the Lord she is alive and recovering 🙏)
3) I don't fw geese (if you know what I mean --> keeping up with the young slang :woot !!!)
4) Thinking of interbreeding my chicken coop to get more variety 🤩. Thoughts?

@Granny Hatchet, I already feel your warmth and comfort...

Lots of love
your mummy poo bear, MustyMuskrat219
:frow Hi musty! Granny's is a warm place to be! 😊 Pull up a rocking chair and make yourself t' home.

Is it bc of storms, Wishing?
 
Sigh. I just found out my bestie is positive for Covid. She's been running a fever since Thursday and keeps saying how exhausted she is (in all caps with exclamation points, poor thing). She lives with her semi-disabled dad and takes care of him and recently rescued a pup she now can't take care of, either.

Covid sucks!

I'll take her some soup tomorrow.
 
In better news, my sick chicken doesn't stink any more and has much more normal stools. So much so that we forgot to change the liner in her cage tonight!! She's also gradually getting stronger in her legs. We still don't know what her problem is/was, but temporarily isolating her seems to be helping. I totally forgot the yogurt and eggs though. Bad mommy.

I hope you are going to knock and run.
