My leukemia's back.

Rachel, hoping that Big Boy is merely dealing with a nasty stomach flu. I've had my GD almost all week b/c she had a stomach flu. Other GD here as well with a snotty nasty cold. I fear it will be a tough winter.

I hope you're wearing a mask! Best of health to the kids.

Well my throat isn't sore anymore..... But o it's cold here.... Brrrrr
It's only 7 degrees at the moment .
What'Wyoming like today ?

 

[Blooie]

- 6 here at 5 am but it's skyrocketed up to 10 in just a few hours. Got light flurries going too.

Rachel, you tell Big Boy to just get well right now! Um, yeah, like that'll work. <sigh>

You're a bit colder today than me Blooie. Last I looked it was around 15* and a chance of snow this afternoon. Better than Thursday was, that's for sure (in the negative teens) so I'll take it!

Phil, glad the throat is better!

Ya'all are making me want to put another log on the fire!

The meds don't seem to be doing much for Big Boy. We'll just go along until he sees the PCP on Wed.

I'm seeing my team from the University this week. I'm just not doing as well as I had been, it's frustrating.

I'm waffling back and forth on hatching more chicks. since we'll be moving, I'd decided not to. But then.........I really would like to see what happens when you cross a Marans with a Leghorn. I'd thought the white from the Leghorn would dilute the dark brown from the Marans. But I see MPC has "Super chocolate egg layers" that sound like that same cross.......and I have both those breeds.....but it's winter, and I don't really need to be brooding chicks in the winter....wonder if I can' get a hen to go broody in Dec/Jan?

 

[Blooie]

Now, Rachel............easy, girl! You'll still have the same birds to cross in a couple more months, right? I worry about you piling more on your already full plate here....

 

[LittleLakePhil]

Yup I agree with Blooie of I'd let it go for now and breed the birds when your life is back to normal.

HI All, Glad you all are doing ok. Miss being on here. Say more in a minute...
Hi Rachel! Okay, I'll say it: Do you really want to deal with chicks right now? If you're struggling health wise, and going to move will it push you over the edge? Once you KNOW your moving date, Could you just plan backwards for having eggs ready to go for about a week AFTER you move in?? I do hope you guys get an awesome place and that Big Boy heals fast.
Anyone heard from Outpost? Or Suzie? Phil, I almost lost it with your posts a page back! And no one had a response either?? That Sour might have a good one liner but everyone was quiet. LOL! Just please don't get to excited while listening to those podcasts while hunting! THAT would be quite a story to tell! AND passed around in the Dr.'s office if something happened!

So I found out that my DH was not quite upfront with me on the finances- by about $20,000 worth of debt- unpaid rent, medical bills and other things. He doesn't really budget, drags payments out or ignores bills. Meantime I want it all in order NOW and have a "how could you do this??" type of mindset. I have asked to take over the finances and he agreed but he has yet to truly hand over the money he makes into one account so that both of us can see what is being done. The second step is me deciding to get a third job to try to get this debt off of us. I already do Rover.com dog sitting part-time- sporadic- and enjoy it and my regular 10 hours a week part time job which I also love. This has allowed me to care for our family and teens in so many ways. BUT I can't see my DH's behavior changing a ton at this time as it's been 26 years of the same stuff. Someone's got to pay those stupid medical bills that grant forms could have been filled out and money given to pay them. ugh and sigh. I didn't want to miss my last 2 guys high school years! But I feel that something HAS to be done. At this point it looks like I maybe offered another part-time job for 20 hours a week. I like the place and go for shadowing and more interviews next week. Can you all pray for wisdom & clarity? Knowing that someone has my back is a wonderful thought. Okay, having said all that, No I don't want to separate or divorce, he isn't abusive, he does love me and yes, I do wonder about all this but no, I don't hate him. We should not have had him in charge of the finances all these years but I was so overwhelmed with life,kids, multiple disabilities including mine, homeschooling, etc. and he is good with numbers.... So hindsight is 20/20 and now there needs to be a major course correction.
Hugs to all here!

I completely understand.... You could be talking about my wife. Things are better now. But while she was drinking she had no strategic plan at all.
I found out how bad it was when I sold my motorcycle and had it($5000) set aside and she stole $2000.....the only advice I can give you is pay attention and don't slack up.... Keep on him or he'll just fall back into doing it again.....

Good Luck.....
