It's not been working great for me either. Last night I was off but up till 4am. Slept till 9. Will probably nap around 2, then go in at 6 for 2 nights on/ 2 nights off. Maybe time to start checking the boards at work & watching for other departments with openings..?

Soo sore today. Activity today.... cleaned the litter boxes, got groceries, window-shopped online for a riding mower. It's 1am My cats are confused I'm wide awake 🫤

Welcome from VA. :welcome

Day 1 re-do. Haha Took Dad out for his birthday lunch. Came home stuffed & took a nap. Went out at 5:30 & started mowing along the drive. 7:30, driveway mowed and rain diversion system slightly re-worked. Tested with the hose in the gutter - works better BUT need to clean the gutter...

Day 1 of my new & improved movement agenda was a bust. 🙄 I had planned to get a nap & start on the mowing..... Instead, I got home about 8am. Checked on Eva, let the chickens out, fed the cats & laid down. Except for a brief snack & potty break around 2, I slept till almost 7!!!!! Made a little...

I got 2 small ones several years ago & covered 1 & 1/2 cattle panels to make a 'covered porch' in front of my chicken house. It's still up, still keeping the rain & snow from blowing in the wire door. If it's worn a few holes/leaks from laying over the arched panels I haven't noticed.

That reminds me of something I read once. We are not batteries, we are generators. We can not save up energy to use later, we create it AS we use it.

Not a bad idea. There's nobody to walk with, and I wouldn't go outside for anything 😬, but it's a big building & I could even add some stair climbing. 👍

Now that I'm on night shift, my window of time to do things is usually around 3pm - 5pm. I'll be in my own for now.

YES on the soil testing! Do that before everything else. That "carrying capacity" this seems like a bunch of hooey to me. Walmart has 2 acres of parking lot, not much grazing. The small section of grass between my barn & coop is roughly 50'x50' & can be grazed to the ground over & over and it...

So all year this year I've felt a general declining of my mobility & strength. I'm sick enough of feeling like this that I'm finally ready to DO something. I think that I can "blame" a little of it on the 4 months being very small & still at that awful office job. And a little bit more on the...

It's a Giant Yellow Mug 'morning' for me. 😴 It's 78° now will be slipping into the 50°s by 'lunch'. I think I'll leave a few windows cracked while I'm at work. I'm off Fri night - Sun night & should be swinging between 60°s & 80°s - great opportunity to catch up on some of the outdoor around here.

Someone called it Body Doubling. For me it's not really as much not getting distracted as it is just staying motivated. I can waste A LOT of time with my hands on my hips considering every possible way something could be done, each possible outcome and the pros & cons of each. But if someone...

Ran across this today. Kinda funny https://www.facebook.com/share/r/YnohkY9pz1STJiNQ/?mibextid=oFDknk

Sometimes it's just simply having a second person there - even if they're not doing much - that can drastically impact my efficiency. Maybe I don't get distracted as much????

Have you ever had apple butter? I think that you can make something similar using most fruits.

Just sticking this here so I don't lose it & can find it when I need it

Hi & welcome to the forum

As always @farmerjan has given fantastic info. I'd just add 1 little piece of info. With cows, I was told to rotate paddocks when there had been: 1/3 grazed, 1/3 trampled, 1/3 left. Oh - also try googling wagon wheel rotation paddocks. Perhaps you can set up something like that around your...

Ok ladies, I'm looking for suggestions, advice, similar experiences. As I'm creeping towards my 60's I find that circumstances & situations & very likely my own laziness are going to let me get myself into a bad way. I know that menopause can lead to joint issues. And living alone provides...
