Have you tried meditating?

Tried and failed many times. I cannot shut my brain down unless I'm doing something.

wood splitting is a good relaxing activity

Agreed. I don't have that much wood to split, though, so sewing helps, too.

SCG the only things I do that relieve stress are knitting or crocheting or messing with my birds.

I got my permit to ship up north today! I am very excited we all were jumping thru hoops! I hope there is not this much to do for every State I try to ship to.

DiDi, are you getting wind?? Wow, having some small micro bursts here. Hope they don't get any worse. Have eggs in a bator, and that darn wind tends to take out the power more often than a lightening storm! Which btw, we are supposed to get tonight or tomorrow..which explains the wind..blowing in the storm.

To ease tension, I like to trim the bushes/minor trees. I go out with my "castrator" (branch lopper) and by the time I am done I have piles of branches well over 6 ft.tall, waiting by the street, for the village shredder truck to make an appearance. Neighbors and friends know "she was thinking of ex BF no.2000 or so,." Later I have the best sleep of my life.

Yup. Sometimes you just need something that you have to concentrate on to succeed at to get your mind off everything else. I have a bird and birdhouse quilt I'll be starting this week (Mario is on hold) and then a hen and chick quilt after that. Then back to Mario. Joann's is having a sale of fat quarters for 75 cents right now - I picked up a ton for the scrappy birdhouse quilt. About halfway home I remembered my great-step-aunt requested some doilies for her bureaus that I forgot to pick fabric up for. Oh well, sale goes through Saturday.

Good for you! How many more states do you need a permit for?

I love you, girl. I wish you lived closer. We could trim some major hedges.

Thanks DIva! I did kind of feel like celebrating! Maybe some fudge ice cream with some home grown strawberries on top.

Quote: I don't have any idea. I would never have even have thought to look to see actually. Till she said "IF" I could. lol
I am curious how many states require permits though.

I wonder how many hoops you have to jump through to process meat birds for sale. I haven't looked into it yet, it'll be a few years before I will be wanting to look into it. Have a dream of someday selling large roasting capons and fibro black meat birds. There is only a couple places that sell them and they are $$$. I'll be raising both for ourselves anyway.
