Farmerjan's journal - Weather

Look who is telling who to slow down and take care of themself .
Yep, being out in the chill didn't help. But I will just keep on plugging along and take it easy as I go. The nice weather we are getting now will help.

Started at 36, sun came over the hill and it shot up to 55 on the recording thermometer. It will drop a little until the air warms up and we are looking at mid 60's today...... YAY.

Got a load of clothes in the machine to go out on the line shortly. Heading out to let chickens out.

Got a call that my amazon account has been accessed. I haven't used it in nearly 2 years since I moved in here... Have had a few other calls and just ignored them. However, I called this one back... account has been accessed from Ohio, and NY... for a 1400 computer yesterday... They had put a hold on the account fearing it was fraud... so it has been reported to their fraud dept and I said I wanted to cancel the account. I can use any of my cc's if I order, don't need the amazon cc... one less to deal with.

Need to get the samples packed and sent out.

As for the cow, if she doesn't get up or even act like she wants to try, DS will have to shoot her. He has a place out in the back where he will take dead animals that the previous owner used also. Usually it is one that already was dead when we found it. I have mixed feelings as it does feed the coyotes and buzzards, but does it encourage them, or keep them, from preying on the young/vulnerable? This time of year, there are alot of deer carcasses for the scavengers... some shot and not recovered, some taken and the hunters only take the backstraps or choice pieces and leave the rest. Road kill also with the deer traveling so much....

Put tea out on the table in the sun to steep for iced tea. Been drinking alot of fluids this week. Too much OJ and my stomach gets too acidic... tea is mostly water so better, when I get tired of plain water.

Back at the house. I went and took the truck, moved the rest of bales from Deb's and then there were only 2 left at the other place, he had already moved the rest. But at least I got some of it done, and so I think that is all of them except for what he bales at the 9 acre field I just raked.

Packed the samples and dropped them off when I went to get the truck.

Went out to the shelter for the chickens. The buff hen has been inside eating from the feeders in the mornings when I go out... she goes back around the bale of straw and sneaks back out the hole in the back... and I just ignore her so she doesn't feel threatened. So, I just let the others out of the crate and open up the door and they come out the door and go around back to the safety of the pines and brush.

I had hoped to feel a little better to do a few things outside. But I don't have the stamina today. And food is going through me so not going too far. I hung the clothes after letting the chickens out.

Brought the tea back in, added the sugar, but forgot to thaw the lemonade, so it will be a bit before I can finish making it.

I made 2 tuna fish sandwiches from the already mixed tuna in the fridge.... drank a glass of choc milk and I don't think I will be doing alot else.

I don't think I will go to GF mother's for Thanksgiving tomorrow. Not wanting to spread around this cold and don't have much patience for the horde of kids when I don't feel 100%.

The sun was so nice out today. Hit 67 on the recording thermometer, it was 79 on the little one that is in the sun on the deck. Hate that I didn't have the "umph" to do more. Once it goes down over the back side of the other hill, it will drop fast. Going to go out and see if the clothes are dry. See if I can get the chickens to go in their crate early and make it one trip out.

Sounds like a good plan. Stay home and take it easy --- though I don't think "easy" is in your vocabulary .

Yeah, ain’t that the pot calling the kettle black? LOL

Talked to DS. He was thinking about not going to GF mother's because he is upset with J about putting the explorer off... I explained that I had texted her, she said it is on the internet, and that she was going to bring it to me, if she could find a ride back, and I said to just take it to ronnie's and lock key in it, as I have 2 more here. I told him to go... I am not going and he said I sounded horrible... my voice is very hoarse with this cold.... I told him that maybe he could get GF to follow him over there and he can leave it with a for sale sign in it...

So, no sense in all this BS.....

Told him about doing the hay, he said there might be a couple more but they are on the steep part and I will not try to move them. He was baling the hay this aft.

He put the cow down. It happens. Life stinks sometimes.

Chickens locked in, clothes in the house... I am going to watch a movie I think, since I haven't gotten around to it like I keep thinking I would.... we'll see how I feel in an hour....

Your son could bring you a plate of Thanksgiving dinner.

 

[Mike CHS]

I'm smoking a turkey tomorrow and if you were a whole lot closer, you could come here.

Thanks,@Mike CHS ..... we could share our germs.

I am sure DS will think of a plate, he usually has in the past....
Watched a movie... "I don't see how she does it", good light comedy. Was going to watch another one but think I'll just go to bed.

 

[Baymule]

Hey Jan, we can watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade together! LOL LOL

 

[farmerjan]

Hey, @Baymule yeah we can... but I will have to come to your house since I don't even have TV........ .

Went to bed, read a little, and slept decent considering the stuffy nose.

Up and the chickens are out. It is sunny, few high wispy clouds. Actually supposed to get more sun later. It is already 59 and I moved all the spider plants out to the table on the deck in the sun. Only got down to 37 last night.

Going to take it pretty easy today... might get into some boxing things up in the kitchen. Not very motivated when I get to blowing my nose constantly.... would like to get outside in the sun later on the deck when it warms up more.
