Coffee anyone ?

@messybun ... yeah, some of it is age and joint pain. I don't like the cold, like I used to just take it as it comes. Snow was just part of it and now I am not as apt to go out in it except for necessary. Part of it is my concern of slipping and falling especially with these new knees Maybe by next year I won't care as much.

@Blue Sky even with our power grid problems, I still prefer Texas Independence. Hands off Feds!

Oh I agree completely. I hate seeing the situation exploited politically. Another frustration was getting texts from the power company assuring restoration of power “in two hours”, for 3 days. Oncor had little credibility with many I know to start with and has none now. We had a fatality in our neighborhood, CO2 poisoning. Check on your neighbors folks and watch your generator placement.

Time to sell hubs on that generator.

Yep

I am just disappointed with the spin on the story.

Doesn't that just frost your cookies? Let's just ignore all the people who have no power for days, talk about the ones that didn't lose power this year as the did last year as if they are all that matters.

No dude, recognize that a LOT of people have no power for DAYS. I bet he'd be plenty POed if it was HIS house. Come up with a plan to make it not happen again and IMPLEMENT said plan. If you aren't going to do that, provide (as in give permanently and install) whole house generators to everyone who lost power for more than 24 hours due to the power companies' failures that could have been avoided.

I hope no one got screwed with electric prices this time.

I woke up at 3:30. Getting tired of this crap...... literally TIRED! Maybe it has something to do with a practically empty house, sleeping on an air mattress or recliner...... mind going 90 MPH, and the dogs going barking mad lately. They usually do that when a ewe is lambing, I think the smell brings the predators nearby to lurk.

Making my last feed run here, not getting many bags so I don't have to haul them twice. Then back to packing up all the little stuff. Geez! Will packing EVER end?

 

[Baymule]

Just let Trip and Carson in the house. Trip is so worried. Carson not so much, but Trip is confused and just doesn't know what to make of it all. He is very needy and needs lots of love and extra attention. He got trapped in a bunch of boxes and finally managed to squeeze through. I'm getting a lot of typos because he keeps laying his head on the keys. Big ol' baby.

@Baymule the dogs absolutely know something extreme is happening!! You're gone a lot. Stuff moving. They know.

@Jesusfreak101 the entire daily lifetime is changed! A lot of adjustments. That cougar? Not related and really not needed. Has animal control been called to relocate that family?

You both have issues I'm thankful to not. . My biggest is the daily chores, go to work, come home. I worked a long day yesterday. Didn't have lunch and by time I got home, wow...lightheaded, shaky, low blood sugars! Came in and went direct to kitchen for food. Raining, so sat and ate, wasn't doing chores for a little while. Later with my headlamp on.

Just had breakfast. Hot tea and chicken salad sandwich. Getting ready to go to work for the day. Taking lunch along! Another long, tedious reset job. . It buys feed.

 

[Jesusfreak101]

not to my knowlegde, have a good day at work mini

 

[Blue Sky]

@minihorses do you mean retail store planograms when you say reset job? Seems like I remember that.

 

[Mini Horses]

Yep...retail store planograms. Some are nicer than others! . Both stores & Pogs.

A better day, ate lunch! Stopped at 3:30 and came home. Delivered eggs to DD, put a big baking hen in oven, dishwasher going, did feeding early and I'm having a glass of wine, relaxing! Another hour or so and I'll eat. While oven on, put a pan of leftover fats from some country ribs in there to render. Waste not, want not. Cook meals and heat house all at once. . That chicken will be several meals, plus a carcass for broth. A pan of brownies might get tossed in there. Hey. I love chocolate.

Almost 6pm and still light out! Woohoo...love longer days! Still need to go close coops. No biggie.
