Morning all.
We had another 3/4s inch of rain here last night. They are calling for more storms tonight and 1-2 inches of rain. Everything feels like a saturated sponge. I finally had to take the Fayoumis out of their little pen and put them in the rooster pen. The roosters went up to torment the big hens. Told them if they wouldn't come out, wouldn't freerange, they could dang well babysit. The little pen had all the attraction of a small hog wallow.
I walked out to check the garden and I have 10 feet of onions that are rotting in the ground and bean seeds that are rotting. Sigh. Mother nature. What a (fill in the blank).
Having problems with my meds. Went into some really weird side effect loop but don't know if it is from the gout medicine or the MTX. Both have similar side effects so I put them both on hold. PA increased both at the same time. The MTX is at it's high level dosage for inflammation and the gout med went from 100 to 300 mg. I am having lots of stomach cramping, not lower intestinal cramping but upper, in my stomach and esophagus. Gas, bloating, headache, dizziness, muscle cramping and worst of all it causes my pulse rate to go erratic which is just plain scary. The only thing that controls it is Pepto Bismol. I take meds for Gerd now and it's blowing through that. I'm worried that it's the MTX and when I see the PA in July she is going to rip me a new one for stopping it and the gout meds but I'd rather have pains than feel the way my guts feel right now. Rant over, sorry. DH is upset that they increased both meds at the same time. He said he would never do that to a patient because if problems arise you never know which drug is causing it.
Oh well, that which does not kill me makes me stronger.
I have a pair of meat sheers that were my Mom's and antique. I also have a filleting knife and a skinning knife but the Scalpel idea is intriguing. Although I have cut myself with one before in the line of duty. Maybe I'd better stick with the knife and maybe use a one sided razor blade in a holder to do the neck slice.

@CapricornFarm's area is in for some really high temps. Stay safe all you east coasters.
Two nights ago I finished up my last embroidered quilt block. Took me almost a year to do them from concept to conclusion. Yesterday I started constructing the top. I'll post pictures when I have finished the basting.
Y'all have a great one. No big plans here other than to keep our heads above water. Literally..............
