Very true. Igor is mad at me so I'm well aware

Tell him he's lucky to have you around, that should improve his mood (or maybe not, but it's a good thing to always speak the truth ).

I forgot to tell you guys about DH's good news...a couple weeks ago someone was complaining about no one taking care of the company houses yards. DH was able to work out a deal with the company, he'll take care of the yards in return for 2 maintenance guys to help him out this summer. So starting today 2 of his crew returned to work and DH went off to work a happy camper

That's a pleasant surprise.

He might not agree with that right now

The company must have figured out it was cheaper to hire a couple of seasonal guys than a lawn service company.

I know the old saying about a happy wife, happy life but it applies to husbands too.

Somehow "Happy husband, Happy life" just doesn't have the same poetic ring to it.

I'm glad he's getting some help and I'm sure his two maintenance guys are thankful for the work as well. It's not a small job looking after a golf course.

Hope you are back in the good books by now.

I don't think she's in pain. They're keeping her pretty well drugged up. She is uncomfortable with all the hardware in play. But she says: "I'm doing okay".

Have the doctors given you any kind of timeline as to how long she'll have to stay in hospital? I sure hope you get to bring her home soon.

I was up at 1.30am this morning playing midwife to my two chicks. I got up to check on them and the one that had pipped at the narrow end was unzipping, so I stayed up to watch. Good thing I did because it managed to unzip but couldn't push out and it was in a bit of an odd position when I helped it escape from its egg. The other egg I'd taken the top off to see what was going on with it. Thankfully it just had the wrong wing over its head and it had pipped at the higher end of the air cell, but because I'd started it also needed help to hatch. The blood had disappeared from the veins in the membrane, but as I started to peel that back (it was starting to stick to the chicks down) I noticed the chick was still doing the yawning as though it were still absorbing yolk, so I left it a bit longer until it started to try and get out by itself (being a bit stuck to the membrane didn't help). They are both really lively, strong little things and they are so cute and fluffy. I've put their brooder by Fox and Squeaks so hopefully, once these babies are big/old enough, I can put them together. Fox and Squeaks are still so tiny, I don't think it will take these two long to catch up size wise.

Anyway, here are the cute little fluffles:

Minimum of 14 days...

We've discovered that bed position changes her awareness. And we've also discovered that she is hard headed. She'll respond to us, but not to the docs and nurses. Today, the doc came in (oh btw when did they make docs out of teenagers). I woke her up and she responded to every question with the right answer. Except my name. I'm now affectionately referred to as "pain in the butt". But that always comes with a smile.

So we call you PIB now? Hugs.

'Pain in the butt." I think that's good.
