Ok...you deserve to be tired AND grumpy.

Any news on what all the problems have been from? Any answers from the drs and tests? God Bless your youth and all that comes with the stamina and such to keep you going with all that you are doing, and not feeling up to par.

How is work going since the changes of bosses and such??? Is DH working the new job he had interviewed for? Can't remember if he got it finally. Must be a month or 2???? Hope it is going well...

Dr Cristol is such a quack that he should be spontaneously spouting feathers!
Said stress test, et all were perfectly normal and that it wasn't a heart issue. Briefly stated that it could be thyroid related. Then spent a bunch of time trying to tell me it was acid reflux from too much caffeine or tomatoes?! I've already cut way down on caffeine. News flash, I DON'T eat tomatoes AT ALL! I found out in high school, raw gives me horrible stomach upsets and cooked is too acid. Folks, he pointed out ketchup was made of tomatoes.
So I have a "no restrictions" note for work and zip for answers.

In other words, he’s one of those “it’s all in your head” when treating women and he has no clue. Grrrrrr….

Coconut almost earned a Darwin award. We came home from dinner to her tangled in electric net. It's been folded up on a cart with a tarp over it for weeks. Not anymore...

Luckily she was smart enough to stand still when it got tight on her neck. She was calling and ate dinner okay. Face was just a little puffy. Tomorrow I get to clean up mess and figured out where the tarp went. I guess I get to store it in home acres, sigh...

Sheep are curious and snoop in everything. She’s lucky and like you said, smart enough to wait on you to find her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The difficulty setting on my life has been cranked to max. I want hard mode back!
*Wednesday I got a call to pick up Dominic from school after he had a couple of accidents, fever, and headache. We went straight to urgent care cause I thought UTI. Nope, TYPE 1 DIABETES We were admitted for two days, released afternoon on Friday.
*Go to do sheep chores on Friday and there was a stray hanging around with Leo. Mad but not too worried since night pen is 4x4 panels.
*Saturday came out and f*ing stray had his head trapped in cattle panel door trying to get in with Dottie who just lambed. Snickers was in battle mode due to everything. Hubby and I were getting him restrained and removing door with stray still stuck in when Dominic's CGM started alarming low blood sugar. We ran inside to take care of him and came out to finish dealing with stray. Managed to back is hind end into dog crate so he jerked back into it when I freed his head.
*Today, Sunday Blaze had twins confirming that full on lambing is starting.
*Tomorrow I get to start figuring out school for Dominic.

This morning started at 4am with alarm going off. First panic was Dominic was going low AGAIN.

Nope flashflood warning and I have brand new lambs in the night pen with just a tarp. Just spent an hour rearranging things so I could steal panels for a jug. Blaze is attentive but the smaller brown ewe was confused by move into main barn. Now I get try to warm up.

I don’t know where to start. Dominic. What a parent heartbreak. That just put your worries into the stratosphere. I’ll listen when you have to vent. Just call me. I love you.

Sheep. You are doing wonders with what you have, adding improvements as you can. Congratulations on the new lambs, more on the way.
