Surviving Minnesota!

You area hard one to beat.

However, there are external forces at play here.

If I come immediately to the computer or not, if there is water in the coffee maker. How long the coffee brews before I get a sip. Whether or not I make breakfast. If I have bodily functions to attend to or not.

And of course, how bad my joints hurt from lying down and if I can sit in a chair or need to stand.


But I need to give you credit on being a good competitor and beating me most days.

That said, I do think your morning messages are a little short most days.

My messages are always short. usually. I wasn't trying to beat anyone I was up between 4/430 and have been busy so I took a break to see what's new here.

Sorry you have pain.

It's called old age, when you get over 50 you might feel some too..

I have to admit up at 4/4:30 is impressive. You need to learn to sleep in a little...

Morning Chatty Kathies. I am up but lying horizontally until I absolutely need to get up and take DD to the bus. DS is leaving with DH to northwestern NDak to busy themselves with ducks. The northerns are down per the locals they are staying with. They have packed up a truck to kingdom come. I will have the tv remote for 4 1/2 whole days!!!!!

Good morning Chickeners . . . . . .

Ralphie you are in fine form this morning. Are you dressed in black also with a little white turtleneck sticking over of the top of your sweater/jacket/whatever?

So far everyone sounds very spry as we all report in.

Morning all. I think I can officially say yesterday afternoon was my last day of up and down the ladder. My siding, trim, and fascia are done! I am going to call the inspectors today to come tomorrow. Tonight I need to install a doorknob and finish cleaning out and I'm done!! Wooooooo!!!!!
Long time coming!!

BC - Will your daughter be around for the weekend?

My DH has been practicing being gone every weekend since September.

I have hard-work days ahead - packed with chores. I am trying to get it all done so I can still go to Hutchinson on Saturday. Minnie, Holms and Ralphie - you are still planning on being there? Who else was going just to do a meet a greet?

It was a frustrating night but happy to be done no less. MIL came out and was mowing grass and shot a hole in the new siding because she drove the mower down the middle of the gravel drive way with the deck running. I smiled and said no big deal. Then she proceeded to mow over an extension cord that runs power to one of my coops for lights. It runs down a fence line then goes arial from the last post to the coop so I'm not sure how it was on the ground. Again a smile and assurance it's not a big deal . I love my MIL but sometimes I swear it's a full time job keep up after her and DW when they get on the mowers!! I bite my tongue and let it go though because I appreciate her coming out to help us and I won't take that for granted. Just a little bonus stress to release

She told me last night she wants to come out tonight and weed whack.... Eek! I might take a half day today and go do that and other stuff myself, I like some solitary work time sometimes. We have a gathering at our house Friday evening so we need to get stuff cleaned up.
