Hooray! I needed some good news. The past few days have not been great. First it was the sad and frightening news from Japan. That same afternoon a good friend who was Managing Artistic Director of the the theater I've done shows with and where my daughter grew up in Youth Theater, lost his 4 month battle with cancer. Two days later I found out I did NOT get the role of Eleanor of Aquitaine in Lion in Winter that I had gone to callbacks for, but a good friend of mine did. I'm happy for her.
Really.
Then this week we received a letter from Social Security saying they overpaid us and we owe them $2400. DH is contesting that.
And the rain, the blessed rain had halted all work on the coop. DH is going back to work on April 4th which is
good news, but would the weather keep them from completing work on my coop? And is wrong for me to feel disappointed that it isn't finished yet?
So. DH just called and said his buddy who has been helping us build, but who has back problems and can only work a few hours at a time knows a
young, able bodied carpenter who is out of work and would I be willing to pay him out of my paycheck to have him help finish the coop? OH yeah.
I was SHOCKED that DH would even suggest it. He never wants to pay anyone else to do something that he can do a halfway sloppy job on himself.
A few rain free days like it is today and we should have it complete! Which means the pullets I'm bringing home this weekend won't have to be house chickens for long thank goodness. I have a hutch to keep them in, but I don't have a temporary isolation pen set up yet and I was hoping I could take a little more time on that.
I can see a little clear blue sky now...
