Yes, just got back from a field trial. War Cry got his 7th win. He still needs 4 points for his championship.

Great fun watching the hot-air balloons this week after a year's absence of the International Balloon Fiesta in next-door ABQ. Nice to sit on the patio and watch them drift by. DH missed them all (late sleeper) except for the Special Shapes day when he was up early for an appointment. If you look closely you can see a dragon and flying pig, what landed across the street in the second (a fish), plus a couple of my favorite balloons (ristra and love sign) in a pic that a friend took from the Balloon Fiesta Field proper. Several cruised low over our orchard and coop looking for landing spots, which the chickens did not enjoy in the least and voiced long and loud their alarm.

Got my Pfizer booster and it seriously wonked my sleep schedule. Anybody else have any side effects? Normally I take a one-hour nap at about 4:00, but this last week I've crawled into bed at noon and come out 3.5 hours later. Several of my gal pals have also commented on the narcolepsy-ness post-vax. Looking forward to getting back to "normal" as it's apple harvest season here before the impending frost hits.

Makes me miss the National breed show we had there at the same time as the balloon Festival

We did the Moderna vaccine so have not been approved yet for a booster

microchick --
Sending soothing healing vibes your way. Sounds like a horrendous ordeal...like you really need more medical misadventure. Prayers for a swift and uneventful recovery.

From @microchick this morning. I'm encouraged by progress!

This morning I'm still tired, still feel like a mule gut kicked me....literally. Not much energy but at least I can get up and move around when I want to now and even went out to lock up the chickens last night. But I'm now ways near being what is 'normal' for me as far as how I feel or what I feel like doing. But I am once again fractionally better this morning so I'll take what I can get.

@sourland Please expect too much too fast. The body needs time and nutrition to heal. But heal it will. Our prayers are no going unanswered, believe me!
