So is anybody else haveing a bad day?

[quail newbie]

Most of the time I think my life is a bad day LOL. I take a step forward in something only to take 10 back

. Plus since im a teen im constantly arguing with my mom so... you get where this is going. Well at least we all have our flocks and pets to look forward to right

Remember the 4432 lots of fruit and veggies makes you feel good but meat tasts so good and cereal and bread keeps us regular and milk if you can drink it keeps our bones strong. If you dont let bad days bother you then you will have more good ones.

How about a bad summer? Ugh

Now that you mention it, yesterday DID suck.

My son chewed a pen apart and then "painted" the end table with the ink. He also did some creative decoration to the only descent piece of furniture in my living room.

He then broke his computer and had a melt down. My mouse broke. I stepped in duck poop with bare feet (need a FENCE AROUND MY PATIO!!!!). My sinuses all plugged up. My senile old cat woke me up at 1 am because she decided she needed to go outside. My son's spastic 1 year old cat woke me up at 5 am because he decided he wanted INSIDE by clinging to the window screen and meowing his head off.

PHEWWW!! I was sure glad when Thursday was over. Friday is going much better.

Let's see. This ought to make y'all feel better. I woke up in the middle of Sunday night feeling like my brother was sitting on my chest. He's a big guy by the way. In addition to the feeling of pressure, I was short of breath, clammy, and my heart rate was elevated. Off to the ER. I thought they would check me out and send me home. That is what I thought. Instead I got a chemical stress test, and echocardiogram, and since the results were ambiguous, I got an angiogram. I am home now and feel like I have been run over by a truck. After all that, it seems my symptoms were due to asthma and not cardiac related at all. That's good, but I still feel like I have been run over by a truck. A big one.

Nope they were real caterpillars. I got rid of them but they gave me bad nightmares

Yeah the bird was in the same room where I sprayed
But I took everybody out of the room before I did it and I let it air out all day.

I put the cages back in the room. they were all begging to come out (even her).
But I didnt because I didnt want them to accidently get into it.. If their was any around

So no I didnt spray when they were in the room.

She passed away this afternoon.

I don't know what happened. I am guessing she was egg bound or one egg burst inside of her. It happened to fast to be anything else. Sadly I had it happen with a parakeet. So thats how I got the idea...

Overall I didnt get much sleep in the night. I was to busy tending to her. Mostly holding her because she didnt want to be alone on the bottum of the cage (because she was to ill to perch with her mate) I finnaly didnt try going to bed till 4 in the morning. I tried to put her on a heating blanket because she felt cold. But she didnt want anything to do with it so I layed down in bed with her. If anything I enjoyed cuddling with her. I rapped my hands around her to keep her warm. I kept doseing off and every so often I felt something nibbling on my nose

. And everytime I would giggle. I even tried moveing her a few inches from my nose and she kept finding a way... It was like 6 am before I decided that I really needed some sleep. And If I dosed off I would probably smoosh her so I put her back in the cage. I woke up at 10 and I checked her and she was still breathing. I was downstairs for like 20 mintues... I kind of passed out of the couch for an hour before I decided I need to go back to bed. I checked her and she didnt look to good but I was way to tired out. I didnt get up for almost 2 hours... But when I got back up to check her she was gone

I have been going threw allot of stuff medically. And its been really hard on me
I have something going on with my joints... I have been in and out of the doctors and they havnt found anything wrong yet...

I got some new medicine for my Bladder that I have to take for a month. So I am hopeing it goes away now..

Just figured I would say this isnt of her sick.. I took this picture right whe she was fluffing and shakeing her feathers from preening. I just thought the picture was soooooo cute....

And you all know how I said they begged and I didnt let them out.... Well this is a sad picture of it

... It was really cute

Well, I had a bad today. A couple days ago, somebody managed to get a cord caught in the freezer door. We lost over $600 worth of meat. I hauled it off today along with an old fence we cut out of our trees. I stuffed several towel in the freezer (an upright), unplugged it and left it to thaw so I could wipe it down and disinfect it before we start the gradual process of restocking for winter ... now seriously behind.

They have changed things at the dump and the lady at the dump would not let me dump the meat and sent me somewhere else. They also do not just let you drive up to the dump site and toss stuff off the truck ... I had to untangle all that wire and toss it in a huge metal container about 10 feet tall. I could not reach without standing in the truck. My legs and arms look like I have been in a fight with a very angry cat from the pieces of barbed wire that tangled the pieces of 4x4 fence together. I got stung by a bee right as I finished. Cranky thing.

The guy at the other place was not happy to see me and said he was not supposed to let people dump things there. Without an argument, he relented, but did not make any attemp to hide his displeasure.

I have an e-check going through Monday and needed my paycheck today, but my boss is out of town until Tuesday and forgot to pay me. If I don't figure it out, there will be a $25 returned check fee on top of a $35 overdraft fee.

After the dump, I got home to a flood in the utility room. Half a dozen towels was NOT enough. Nasty meat germ water everywhere. Took me 4 hours to get everything moved out (including my Dad's 200 pound toolbox) and get the floor sopped up and mopped with bleach so I could wipe the freezer down.

I had 2 bags of layer, a bag of chick starter, and a bag of dog food in the wettest part of the floor. After moving the bags on top of a towel and letting them sit for a couple hours, I tried to empty them into another container. Both bags of layer exploded all over the utility room. I cussed and then laughed hysterically in a desperate attempt to avoid insanity. I had a heck of a time picking the wet stuff out of the dry, trying to save as much as I can, and probably threw out 25-30 pounds of feed. I got smart with the chick started and took it out of the bag one scoop at a time until I saw some wet. Probably only lost a couple pounds of that. The bag was not nearly as wet as the pellets were. Dog food was fine. It was in a plastic type bag ... of course, there was only about 2 cups left in there anyway.

I burned my finger on the bag of steamed peas in the microwave. There is a reason they are supposed to sit for a minute.

But, after reading your post about your poor birdy, my day no longer seems so bad. I am sorry about your bird

. I know how attached we get to the little critters.

Lessee, I woke up and was still breathing - so it started out good.

I got a good deal on a new tire, found some nice recycles for the garden and got my first Rutgers tomato today. I helped my neighbor with his car, made some kick butt Sloppy Joes for dinner and found out the power company will come and cut out some trees in my yard. All in all, a pretty sweet day.

When I find that things are going badly I remember Leo Thorsness. Here's what I wrote about him on my blog:

Lately, I’ve been reading Leo Thorsness’ book, “Surviving Hell.” Leo is one of only 96 Congressional Medal of Honor winners still alive today. But, what really draws me to him is the six years he spent in a North Vietnamese prison camp during Vietnam, after being shot down over Hanoi. The years he spent at the "Hanoi Hilton" being tortured, beaten to a pulp, neglected and ultimately dehumanized by his captors would break most men - but not Leo.

He claims to be a better man for the experience!

I met Mr. Thorsness recently and found him to be both irascible and lovable, all at once. Considering all he has been through, he is an amazingly upbeat and likable fellow. He claims, “In the 35 years since my release from prison, I’ve never had a really bad day!” What a superior human being he is.
