Coffee anyone ?

Well back at it out in hell.... dew point is 72 and no idea what the temp is. Sweat rolls as soon as you step outside. Hydratio, hydration, hydration..... My poor critters....

So.... We decided to tear off our porch. We will use the deck part for some of the walls on the horse stall. The railings that don't have wood bees and can be saved will be used for additional runs for the birds. We'll just put up a short deck/steps and the space being taken up by the porch will become a garden entrance to the house..... We shall see how it turns out....

So my kids left our garage fridge freezer open last night. So having la,b chops, pork chops and steak....more steak for another day this week too.... and ground pork. Am trying to think positive and enjoy the fact it's not raining so I can grill the meat.

Oh no!
At least you don't have to worry about what's for dinner the next few days!

Yikes @promiseacres! That’s definitely stressful! Glad you can make use of it too. Any sign of getting the stove fixed?

Y’all are cracking me up with the autocorrect jokes and deformed cows in pants!

On another note, it hurts to laugh. I guess I should’ve told y’all more of what was really going on but I attempted to shrug it off and get on with my day. No such luck! The pain woke me 3-4 times through the night that was upper epigastric and wrapped around to my back at the same level. No changes in bowels and though I’m nauseated at times, no vomiting. Considering all of the recent stress and the fact that I take ibuprofen almost daily (sometimes twice)...I now have an ulcer. My mom had to take me to the dr! I was talking to her and it hit me that if the pain was bad enough to wake me at night, I need to have it checked out. (Nurses definitely aren’t good patients! Lol) I’m now taking carafate three times a day and Pepcid two times a day. No ibuprofen, alive, aspirin, etc. Nothing spicy either. Otherwise, some bloodwork was drawn and if symptoms continue/are worse/new symptoms develop, I have to call for further testing like an ultrasound (for gallbladder) or upper GI scope (could be more than one ulcer or other internal issues causing pain.) Either way, I’m praying the meds work and bloodwork comes back fine. Funny enough...she didn’t tell me to reduce my stress! We are fb friends and she knows my life is slightly crazy right now...

@Wehner Homestead the part is waiting at the repair shop, DH is going to pick it up. Then he will put it in... of course he has a bug...plus working 10+ hours every day...maybe this weekend. I can hope the dishwasher gets installed soon too. Almost hoping it rains all weekend.

@Wehner Homestead Sorry you feel badly and my first thought was gallbladder when you described pain. Either that or ulcers not good but, thankfully both have good recovery rates!! So there's your positive thought.

NO, nurses are not good patients. Used to tell my mom she was like the ones she used to come home complaining about.

@Matthews Homestead. Glad the doe is helping. I will assume the new dog is Rufus...he did good. Sorry you lost a pullet, probably a young one & a favorite. Always the way!

That hay feeder LS made, if copied, will need a post in the ground to tie to. His buck kept tipping it over Goats, ya know? I like the top load and cover for hay. Mine like to put their front feet on something when standing to eat...maybe a 6x6 on each side, to anchor/weigh & give a front feet stand.

It's been upper 90s with feels like of 102-104 2 days now. Two more days of it coming up!! This after a teaser "fall coming" of 60 mornings & mid 70 days. Guess next week I'll wake to snow -- seems to be how the weather is going. Makes me feel a little better that I work thru Friday because can't do much outside except refill water!

I couldn't like this post, I hate it that you are feeling so bad and life is hard on you right now. You gotta take better care of yourself. You KNOW that you know better than to take so much ibuprofen. I'm not a nurse, but I know at least that much. BAD PATIENT!!! If you go in the hospital we are going to send you a deformed cow in a diaper wearing pants to cheer you up!

I'll have to make you some chicken noodle soup. With homemade chicken broth and have it delivered with that diaper wearing cow! Take care of yourself!!!
