I like to read your journal as it amazes me sometimes that you are a teenager rather than a 30+ year old with years of experience and common sense behind you. Hope you can find the right homes for your "pets" so that you will be happy for them and they will have a situation that suits them better. Your does look like they have some pretty decent udders. Are they making a decent amount of milk for you for family use? Are you making anything from it besides just drinking milk?
How are the headaches you used to get so much? Sure hope they are subsiding. Are the glasses helping your sight and reducing the headaches too?
I could sure enjoy the flounder .....

We have had tremendous flooding here in the lower 48 in the southeast. First Hurricane Florence and then this latest Hurricane Michael. But it has been extremely wet in general in a large part of the southeast. Then the southwest and areas out that way have been very dry with record drought. Alot of extremes this year.
Enjoy the warmth while you can.....

Our goats are giving a decent amount... Sugar is the highest producer... Drift slows way down in the winter but produces well in the spring/summer. Yes, We have made cheese, yogurt, etc. Still want to try Ice cream.

I'm near headache free and have been for about 3weeks. :celebrate

The glasses have helped when I'm reading or doing School work (which is nearly 3-4hours a day). :)

Happy Late Thanksgiving to every one of you!!!!
For the first time in 11months, I am a headache free! I am so thankful to have this under control... A lot of it was stress but also, I been taking, MSM, MCT OIL POWDER, Collagen, and eating a more balanced diet.

With that not holding me back I am so happy!!! 4 Nights ago I had no pain at ALL... I ran around the house with my siblings playing tag for the first time in 11months of no Pain!!! I was almost crying!!

What in the world is going on around here??? November and no snow. It is the 40s and cloudy.
Oh, and Stella wasn't bred. So now she is due for kids on April 5th, Maybell April 9th, and Dasiy March 23rd.

The bridge never did wash out but came close several more times over that week. Our friends ended up having to evacuate there home. Thankfully there home end up being fine. They did loose most there chickens and there got pretty destroyed.

This week we start work on the inside of the house!
We are finishing the half bath and then we start in the kitchen, dining room, and living room.

I've owned Molly for a year... So blessed to have her!!! Molly Wog Frog. She sleeps outside now and comes in for part of the day but she doesn't really like staying indoors as much anymore.

I have to get ready to go to Thanksgiving dinner with family so more later...
