Yes, congrats @N F C (you chatterbox, you)!

I was all prepped to make that bread but the quail threw a spanner in the works, so tomorrow I am making it with the kids.

I had to help the last baby hatch and it looked like another unusual one, but I'll wait until the morning to be sure. It's evening here and it's drying off under its Mum who should stay put until the morning. It was peeping like crazy but making no progress on unzipping, so I chipped away at the shell and there wasn't a vein in sight anywhere. It was just well and truly stuck.

Congrats on the quail babies!

Today has not been quite so busy but still 79 tickets in the last 24 hours and 12 of those we were not working

So, I had my lunch time chat with the mental health dude and the good news, I am not crazy!

The bad news, no magic wand to help me deal with the stressors but more that I need to start sticking up for myself. Not get angry but also not have to do things I do not want to, include eating zapped, unhealthy dinners. So, when a dinner is on the cards that I do not want to eat, simply mention I do not want to eat it and make myself something. Or, if I want the air conditioner on, turn it on. If FIL reacts badly that is "not [my] your problem" apparently
Wish me luck! He is going to ring me in a week to see what changes I have made

@Teila, hope your new strategies help.

I got a better photo! A comparison between it and its wild sibling:

They are all safely inside at the moment and the last egg, that's the slow poke, is currently residing in my bra (sorry guys) . With the current weather it's more than warm and humid enough in there! It's pipped and cheeping and tapping away so hopefully it will pop out soon. It's got 4 1/2 hours until my bedtime so it had better not take too long. I'll be interested to see what colour it is - so far we have one wild, one silver, one cinnamon, and one unusual one.

So cute

You all call me a chatterbox, lol, here I am trying to play catch up with you guys

Just because it is called Green Chicken Curry, does not mean the chicken itself is green

Hey Blooie I kind of hear ya on the “getting a base line”. One of my FIGJAM yuppie bosses thinks he sounds cool and corporate throwing these around the place .. just sounds like a jerk to me!
Not tearing down silos.
Low hanging fruit.
Set aside a time box.
I will get [whoever] to talk at that topic.
This will require a deeper dive.
Take it offline.

"green chicken curry"? That sounds slightly scary!
There's a cooking show DH & I like to watch but they seem especially fond of certain phrases...I think we mainly watch it so we can make fun of them saying things like "wheel house" and "hot mess" all the time.

I'm sorta proud of myself, when the alarm went off instead of going back to bed, I got up!! I put the garbage out for pick up, shoveled some snow, posted on BYC in the morning for a change. Brought the empty garbage containers back to the driveway. Wow! Hoping I can make a habit out of not going back to sleep and actually doing something. Maybe tomorrow will tackle the dishes filling up the kitchen sink. BTW it's a shallow sink, so doesn't take much to fill it.

You go DD! It feels good to get stuff done, right?

We knew you weren't crazy! Good luck with carrying through with the suggestions, I hope they make things better for you
