Roll Farms - Herdstock is over, and I'm feeling hung over, lol

Mornin'.

It's chilly, windy, and rainy. :/
I have to face 4 buildings, 2 coops, 10 milkers, and a kid room full of hungry babies alone for the first time since October. (DH went back to work this morning.)

I woke up w/ a wierd pain in my lower left side. I feel like I pulled a muscle or strained something, but felt fine when I went to bed last night....?? So I'm waiting for the ibuprofen to kick in so I can stand upright before I head out.

It was beautiful here yesterday, I started to clean the porch of all the leaves / yard crap that blows in....then my MIL arrived and stayed for 2 hours. I could have kept working but it would have been rude, so instead I stood around and talked to her.

DH did get 18 tubes of silicone put into every crack and crevice of the greenhouse. It's 'curing' now. It's supposed to be nice starting tomorrow so hopefully we'll get it moved out this week and I'll be using it by the weekend.

This sure does feel like Monday. Here's hoping all of us get through it w/ minimal scarring.

Good Luck today and I hope that pain goes away.

Mornin' Roll.........Hope you get to feeling better. Hug a few goats for me today, ok?

Good morning. I hope your pain works itself out and that you have a relatively easy day since it's the first in a while on your own.

Right now....I'm shaving poodles.

I hate shaving poodles. Fiddles, whom I adore, is a total butthead when it comes to having his feet 'done'...5# of wiggling, whiny crybaby. UGH.

Is shaving poodles better or worse than shaving Pyrs? My Snowy hates to be shaved and has broken loose from her ties when I do. I have to shave her in the barn and ignore the mess. I didn't have to shave Jack last year, he was just a little pup but this year I am going to find out if 150 lbs of Pyr is going to coperate or not.

I am washing a lizard who is a total whining butthead about having his spikes cleaned.

Jodie, I'd rather shave Booger, Edge, and Gus 3x than Fiddles 1x.

Bigger, less tedious parts to work with, you're not all bent over, and they don't whine / wiggle near as much as Fiddles does.

We used to get something from the vet to knock Razor out, he was always terribly matted and had to be shaved...and didn't like it ONE BIT.
Edge we can usually just cut the butt fluff off of her and get by ok.

The pain from this morning pretty much eased off, but I ate supper and now it's back worse than ever. I can't stand upright, it feels like someone's got my guts in their hand, squeezing them. OUCH.

This may be a TMI thing. I don't know your medical history but it could be an ovarian cyst rupturing. Not sure what your cycle is, if you have all your bits still, etc. Just a thought.
