Today is an icky weather day. Elsie didn't even want to go to the barn with me this morning (but I made her anyway mwahahaha). It's funny that my day never really starts until almost two hours after I get up. My chores (feed the chickens, let the dogs out, get wood, start a fire) and my getting ready for the day (brush teeth, get dressed, eat ( Read more... )

I am so tired today. I got a bunch done this morning. I cleaned and organized half the kitchen. That's actually quite a lot of work. It took me almost two hours. I think I'm going to take a little nap and then work on homework for a bit. I hope this isn't how it's going to be the next few months. I've heard that you start getting tired again in the ( Read more... )

So, Tim left this morning for a fire training thing. He's not going to be back until very late Thursday night. While he's gone it's my evil plan to clean and de-clutter the house as much as possible. So far I've cleaned and organized the mud room. This included posting the cane and walker that were out there on Craig's List (under free since I'm ( Read more... )

I swear it's starting to look like I've been beaten. I have a big bruise on my left thigh I don't remember getting. I have a bruise/abrasion on my right knee because I walked into the corner of the bed hard. Then, to top it off, this morning I walked face first into a metal bar very hard. It's this L-shaped bar that's in the chicken area in the ( Read more... )

This is why I think Tim has magic powers. ( Couch and Chair )

I am loving hunting season this year. Ed the bow-hunter stopped by and gave us a 4.5 lb roast a couple days ago. Today Matt stopped by with another hunk of meat. ( Meat! )

Seems like that should say sleeping, but no. I swept the kitchen this morning at 5AM. Tim's alarm didn't go off. Well, neither of us heard it at least. He uses his phone because the alarm on our clock radio, although it has batteries, won't go off if there's a power outage. So, he got up about an hour later than he usually likes to. Then he storms ( Read more... )

Ugh. I have a splitting head ache and a ton of chores to do. I guess I'll just have to knuckle down and get to it. I took a tylenol already and started the laundry. Now I have to let the chickens out, harvest from the garden, wash the dishes, make tomato sauce, and possibly can tomato sauce and/or apples. I think I'll eat some breakfast first and ( Read more... )

So, I'll admit I was skeptical of putting peanut butter in my oatmeal, but damn if it is not the yummiest foodstuff ever! I used all natural PB and added a little vanilla and some apple topping I had made for waffles a few nights ago. Yum! I decided yesterday I was going to make a concentrated effort to start eating healthier again. My diet had ( Read more... )

How? How?!?! does a health insurance company lose record of a payment? What the HELL?! I got a call today from the insurance agent who handles Purity's insurance (for the third time since I left I might add) to ask if I could provide a copy of the check I sent because Excellus seems to have LOST their record of the payment! I swear to God I will ( Read more... )
