Poor Cinderella....
 
About to go to sleep. Basically been in bed since about 1900. TIRED and everything hurts. We got a new mattress so taking the old one off and put the new one on today. Butt load of dishes done. Cleaned out the pantry to make a space for the JAMOAN we ARE cutting tomorrow, although it was supposed to be cut today. Put out some more hay in the run(s) and Miah raked all the stuff that had shifted to the one side. I emptied their dust bath baby wading ppol, and the water/dirt/poo STUNK! I think that's where I pulled the muscles in my shoulders.

We had a tornado watch or warning or something, I dunno.

Went into town for groceries. Moved ALL the cases of pint and quart jars out of the dining room into the pantry. Rearranged the dining room so the cat tree and the cat warming box are now permanently stationed at the un-openable back door. Got my indoor greenhouse pulled out and ready to begin plant starts tomorrow. My 20 strawberry cuttings will be in Monday and STILL nowhere to put them.

DH kind of made fun of me and got on my ass today. As y'all know, we have now caught 2 possum. The first one, the neighbor came down and shot with his little .22 pistol. We reset the trap and caught an even bigger possum. Day before yesterday I believe. Well, we STILL hadn't gotten something to dispatch it with, so we had been waiting on a response from the neighbor. In the meantime, I had moved it a couple of times, to get it out of puddles, covered it with a tarp to keep it from getting rained on AND fed it some old pork chops that were headed to the garbage anyways.

Does that make me weird? I mean, I know I am weird, which is why I didn't ask if I am weird... but if THAT makes me weird. DH just didn't understand it and said I was treating it like a pet and would be all sobby and stupid over it when it was time to dispatch it. I said I equated it with the chickens. We feed them, name them, love on them, etc etc etc.... and yet I can still cull one when it's time (as I have already culled one), and I didn't want it to go through unnecessary torture (freezing wet and starving) before we dispatched it. (PS. I watched him shoot it with the neighbors .22 and was just fine).

OH, and last but not least.... it has rained so much here that the bend in our driveway is half way washed out. Not sure how we're gonna fix it but we'll have to. It never ends. Hope y'alls Saturday is going well!! :hugs

You had quite the day! Hope you sleep well on the new mattress!

We caught a coon that had been stealing my ducks feed. Hubby dispatched it. Reset the trap. Caught another one the next day, but he had gone out of town on business, so it was up to me. It looked so cute staring up at me, I almost couldn't do it. But when I dragged the trap over closer to the woods to dump the carcass, it HISSED at me. Made it alot easier to feed it some lead.
