The office bathroom is functional (and really nice) We still have about 2 to 3 hours of work left ... couldn't get the toilet paper hangers hung because I forgot to get screws that would go into block wall., we also have some caulking left and we need to put in some grout in a few of the tile and secure the one stand up cabinet to the wall.

Boston showed up out of the blue to help us at 8am and stuck with us till just afternoon. What an awesome friend!
Yesterday morning I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown... but he helped me through it, then another good friend and his son-in-law stuck with us till 10PM. I feel it was a miracle we got it ready to go.
I'll be ready to see a day full of patients. I have full days scheduled Mon-Thurs and then I'll get a three day weekend.(to watch chicks hatch!) I need to call the accountant to see if taxes are done.

I'm going to OWE HUGE.

In other news, I'll get high speed internet at the office on Tuesday! ... after all of these years, but we won't be connecting any of our computers that have patient data as I want to avoid all of the HIPPA garbage.

Glad to hear its just about there... Wish I could have stayed longer. I will have to make an apointment just to come by and see it completed.
Good luck on the full day of patients, after a long day of physical work.

I had my egg flock out free ranging in the garden today. Usually they are only out the last couple of hours before dark. Today they were out for around four hours. Usually I open the gate and shepherd them back to their coop/run. They usually very sedately walk back. Today when I went out to move them, they were all clustered by the gate and fussing at me to hurry. When I opened the gate to the garden, Scarlett (RIR) practically pushed me out of her way and bolted for the run. She rushed up the ramp and into the coop and flung herself into a nest box. By the time everyone else had gone in and I closed the run gate, then walked to check in the box, she had already laid her egg and gotten back out. Literally, the whole process from garden gate to egg laid was maybe 60 seconds tops.

Poor girl, I could almost hear her scolding me..................."I've got an egg in me and I need to get it out, NOW!!!!"

I'm finally caught up after two days of playing catch-up. I had 3 silkies hatch yeah!! I'm ready for the next batch. There is something moving in my goose egg, I'm guessing it's a baby goose.

Tomorrow is Lockdown Day! Good thing that I'll be away from the house most of the day, paying bills and buying supplies. Wow! When we first started the hatch-a-long, time seemed to drag. Now it's flying! I can hardly wait for the weekend to see how many chickies arrive. I am SO looking forward to this batch.

Did anyone besides Java Girl 2 enter my 'best incubator design' week 2 contest? SuperChemicalGirl said someone else did as well, but I'm not caught up with the forum, so I can't really check. And even if you didn't enter, today is the last day and if you still wanna enter, just PM me a picture or two.
