No puppies just cats .Next I time find kittens ,they go straight to paws .Off to the vet on thursday morning for the secound $100 vet bill .I wish. I too was woken by a hungry dog a little after 5am.I feel like the last month of very little sleep is catching up with me.
After the dog ate & I went back to sleep I dreamed I rescued a giant Great Pyrenees that I could snuggle with. Hey K, you got any puppies for sale?
I just won't go .Due to bodily decline coffee drinking before any drive is no longer practical.
Well.... what a day
First kid 2 accidentally sliced through the fuel oil pipe trying to pop away an ice chunk by the leaking water spigot.
Then kid 2 did his chores and came in the house with a mostly dead chicken. His chores are the bantams, the rest of the flock look fine..
Then kid 3 took forever researching to see if he could fix the pipe.
Then we decided maybe not.
Then I started calling for professional help, and the first 2 people I tried, repeatedly, weren't answering.
Then I tried calling the fuel delivery people for a recommendation... took 4 tries to get them on the line... the first suggestion they gave me I answered with "really? They are the most expensive people on town. Isn't there someone else?" They said true, try these other people, they are really good, and never screw anyone over, very Christian. I agreed.
So I called the Christian outfit, they DID answer the phone on the first try and said they were insanely backed up. I answered, yep, because you do great work, you are ALWAYS insanely backed up. But they had a list of 4 different guys that I could call.
I called, the first of their list of 4, he answered, he said he was really backed up, had 6 people in front of me... but he would call around, see what he could do, and call me back in 5.
He DID call me back in 5, said that he had a guy that had to fix the heat for a place the next town over, but after that could come up to me.
Also... spouse is grumpy... still dieting.
Mostly dead chicken is on my lap with a blanket over her.
After an hour of sitting with first a kid, and now me, she is slightly less dead looking, but still bad.
Her face color is good, but she is pretty skinny. Dunno... I will let her continue to slowly warm up, for another hour or 2, then see if she wants to eat, drink, and live... if not..... guess we have to kill her.
No idea how old she is... The pure bred hens look the same to me.
And THIS IS WHY daylight savings time is BAD, VERY, VERY BAD!!!!
Thing I have learned it try to prepare for every possible problem .Flaring tool extra fittings for copper piping. Also compression repair couplings .Pipe threader for iron pipe plus extra fittings .And recta seal thread sealant.CO-OP has some plumbing supplies.Always glad that my daddy could fix anything when he was sober.Then why not just tell me that?
What I hate is when MIl would promise wife something and then selfish sister would complain. MIL would tell DW that she was the strong one and give whatever it was to her sister instead.I was left holding the strong one while she cried her self to sleep.It all comes full circle .Her sister is now having to handle all her mothers affairs .Dr. appointment included .We can't we have Ben .I’m sorry the family drama went 2.0.I’m sure crazy sis is whispering in her ear, “Why should you be doing her any favors, blah, blah, blah.”
I’d give mom sometime to get Crazy out of her head before you bring it up again. If that doesn’t work I’d start demanding some of the more coveted pieces of furniture. That should make it very easy for them to give you the pieces no one wants.
I have been double layering for weeks now .long John's rub me the wrong way .Extra pant size and sweats for thermals .Work best for me .
Here too. Easy peasy.
It took DD1 & I one second to drop it in the secure bag predone & I spent another minute chatting about the process with the guy who was outside manning the bag. DH had to take extra time to go in & touch germy stuff because he’s like 120yrs old & cant change his ways. 
DD1 & I took a stroll around the grounds taking selfies while we waited for the old guy.
we ALL look alike!
This is true!
PLEASE!!! Not in front of the ladies!Well of course. Would I prevaricate ?
