Good morning all. Today is the day I will be finishing my garden! I finally have nowhere to be until 5 and DS will be content to either help plant or play in the sandbox.
Wouldn't it be nice if there was a giant soaker hose over the state to distribute the rain?! Sorry for those of you dealing with the deluge.
cute chicks cuties!
May you all receive whatever it is you need today.
8th anniversary for DH and I, but he has a meeting tonight. I hope it doesn't run too late.

Happy Anniversary AmyB!

Lowest gas price we saw out west was 3.25. When we left here gas was 3.89, when we came back it was 3.99.....

I'll try to get the kids kicked off the big puter and get some pics up today of our trip.

I appreciate all of your input on the ecigs, DH appreciates it also.

My poor neighbor developed shingles right after we came home..... poor lady is in a lot of pain, but thankfully she is on the antiviral meds. They make her feel sick so she is going to the doc today to see if they will give her something else. When DH had it they put him on steroids which knocked it down almost immediately.

I have got to get back into the routine of getting up early...... I keep waking up around 8!!!

Good question. I was told from my sleep study that I have Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome. The pulmonoligist explained it to me but with my memory the way it is I CRS as to what he said. One of the things I remember his saying when you have sleep apnea and wake up you remember waking up. With UARS you wake up but you don't remember it. From what I've been reading though is UARS can cause other conditions to worsen high blood sugars, high blood pressure and alot of other things besides the daytime tiredness and fatique.
My pulmonary function test showed a decreased difusion capacity and stated: An isolated low diffusion capacity suggests the possibility of pulmonary vascular disease, such as pulmonary hypertension, chronic pulmonary emboli and sleep apnea. And Clinical correlation is recomended. So with all that being said, I am being referred to a cardiologist and have to have an EKG, and an Echocardiogram this week then see both the pulmonoligist and cardiologist. My guess is it will be my congestive cardiomyapathy stiring up trouble again. So we shall see what they do about it. I do know when I've used ET's CPAP I felt like I could breath better, like my lungs were getting more air... hard to explain. ... so we'll see. Nothing ever goes by the book for me medically.. For instance when I had a heart Muga scan. One of the things that test does is see what your ejection fraction is (The about of blood your heart should pump out.....I believe the normal heart pumps out between 60-70% of the blood that was pumped in. On my test it said my Ejection Fraction )(EF) was 27%.... ok so I walk down the hall to get an echocardiogram and they said it was 60%......Go to the doctors office and he sees both tests taken maybe 30 minutes apart !!! He didn't know what to say because my symptons were equivelent to 15% EF. He just shook his head..Then when I had the Muga scan repeated it was 37%(improved by being on meds) and then come to find out they LOST the first 27% Muga scan ........So I guess the question is will they be able to put their heads together and figure out what is causing what and how to treat me. Ok, I'm rattling on the influence of ambien here. I keep falling asleepzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I would sit down with your doctor and see if he can just give you a sleep apnea diagnosis (unless the ins co gets the actual sleep study results). It's a bunch of crap when sick people have to use so much energy fighting with an insurance company! I hope they get it all sorted out for you SOON!!

Here they are!!!! More in the bator to come out this afternoon! They are sooo cute! We got up early to make sure none were falling behind. Did a couple more dips on the ones who seemed to be sleeping more. But they are sooo hard to tell apart!!

You should have seen our assembly line when we toom them out! I am super glad hubby built our mini pens for in the bator! I never would have been able to tell them apart!!

Hope everyone has a good day! Wish I could have stayed home to watch chick tv lol

SWEET!!

Shingles - UGH! - there is a good cream for that (can't remember the name) that I got at a health food store. They'll know what it is at the store if she asks. It takes out some of the sting.

Oh I am so mad!!! Woke up to my FIL in my bedroom! Can you imagine?! He said he been trying to call and no one answered, so he just came over and up to our room! While DH is arguing with him, and FIL is asking what his cell phone number is, maybe he called the wrong number, I am crawling further and further under the covers. So mortified! Just to tell him that the electrician was here, and the barn cleaner chain needed to be fixed. DH milks the night shift and wasn't going to be up for another 30min. Couldn't wait?!

Anyway- garden looks great, chickens and duckies are well, and hoping to move three out to the transitional coop today.
Have a great day all!

Big ole coon in the trap by the coops this morning, and my guinea nest has the eggs cleaned out (the ones marked and left is so they continue to lay in the nest).
I knew something was up when my solar light was knocked down by the entry gate into the coop (glad it was shut!)...
Anyone need a hat?

 

[babylady4]

So now I am rotting away on the PC learning how to use my editing software...... something best done on a rainy day. Someday I will get some pics up on here.....

BigFam, we should plan on hanging out on one of my days off....... kids would love it.

Has anyone taken a freshly hatched incubated chick and put it under a hen that is currently broody/hatching?
