How's your day going DMC? Hope you're not working too hard!

P.S. You missed out on the shoveling, I'm done now.

Dang it
I just got done priming corners. I’ll do another full coat in a couple hours. Tomorrow I’ll paint the ceiling.
I starting watching Heartland on Netflix...didn’t think I’d like it. I was wrong. I won’t accomplish much today.

It's doing pretty good, mostly itching and the pain when I do my exercises. Todd jumped into bed this morning and landed on the bad arm and wrist . So it's back to hurting more for now, I'm sure that with rest it will get better.

I'm so sorry to hear that...animals just don't understand when we have injuries! I hope it feels better soon.

Ouch! Hope your poor arm feels better soon. Dogs are such clumsy (but loveable) beasts.

I'd stuck a few more eggs in the incubator a week after I'd started the others (I'm terrible, I know). One had started shadowing at the low side of the air cell so I thought I'd lock them down the next morning (it was evening when I checked them). Well, I got up to find it was already externally pipped, and my humidity was 22%! But the membrane was still white and it hatched all by itself just fine.

Another chick hatched today but it had a weird, jellyish lump on the top of its head. Seriously it was like a big yellow lump of see through jelly. I left it in the incubator and kinda suggested to DH that he might have to do it in, but I checked on it just before and it's managed to knock off all the weirdness and it just has a little wound where it was. I've put blue food colouring on to cover the wound and put it back in the incubator while that dries (otherwise it'll end up everywhere) and we'll see what happens. It's an extremely lively little thing that is not happy that it's stuck in the incubator. I've warned the kids that it might not make it, but we'll see. I wish I'd taken a photo before he'd knocked it off because I can't find anything like it even on here, but I'm a little squeamish (blood is fine, but other 'stuff', nuh-uh) and I seriously thought it needed culling. It's just very, very weird.

Anyway, hope you are all enjoying your weekends.

Hi Jae...that does sound strange! I hope it survives!

Good morning Bob, what's on your agenda for today?


@JaeG what a weird thing for your chick to have on it's head. Hope he/she makes it!

Good morning Debby, have a great day... just a grocery run and if I get adventurous maybe some pot stickers for dinner.

Have you made pot stickers before? I've thought it would be fun to learn how, but never seem to get around to it. Let me know how they turn out!

This will be my first attempt. If they turn out okay, next up will be yaki mandu
