And today is a new day; my head's a little clogged up, will use my nose spray when I get dressed. The nasty tree I'm allergic to is blooming. a little rain this morning but clearing off now. No thunder thank goodness.
breakfast
chores
glasses
drink more water 2 pint down
afternoon chores
plant seedlings, more squash
What ever else I get around to. I do need to do some laundry, but will wait on the weather. Of course the kitchen needs some attention and there is a box of chicks in the bathroom that need to go back out to their coop. (I brought them in a couple days ago because temps dropped a lot and they didn't have any heat and we had cold nasty wind)
Got the chicks out of the bathroom and back outside.
Emptied a box out of the spare room
played with chicks ;-)
prepped and watered a planting bed
played with wool
having sinus issues and a shingles outbreak so feeling really super tired and wore out. Just don't have any energy. And now issues with an incubator not keeping correct temps and my two digital thermometers do not seem to be working correctly. I just put new batteries in them but will go and get more new ones in case that's the issue. I did order 2 new super good ones that will be here next week.

so not much accomplished on Sat. Did market and not much else. I did discover I have a skunk or a coon digging up a garden bed and it ripped up a row cover to do it. I set the two traps I could find easily so will check on them in a bit and if they are empty will try to find my other trap and set it also. The last coon took a week to catch. Also something, probably a ground squirrel has dug into the big chicken house. I need to dig that hole up and see what's there. I really need to pour some more cement around the bottom of it. I have about half of it done, need to get it finished, but it won't be today.
breakfast
chores
clean up pen so I can finish moving birds over from my moms house.
work on driveway
afternoon chores
whatever else I think of

Sometimes you've just gotta take care of yourself. I've been thinking this lately ... I'm one of the things I need to maintain!
I'm glad you feel better

I take a Zyrtec every day. Non-drowsy.
Walgreens and Walmart both have a store brand, which is half the price of Zyrtec. Works great!

well yesterday afternoon got a bit crazy, with deliveries and whatnot. And my well adviser had to postpone until next week. Today was my big farmers market which went well. Pretty warm today, was about 92 yesterday so probably about that again this afternoon. Will go in a few and wet down dirt in the chicken pens to cool them off and make sure everyone has water.
So I ate breakfast and lunch and did morning chores. The heat makes me sleepy so probably won't be too energetic this afternoon
get stuff out of van
water birds and plants
afternoon chores
brush teeth AM PM
I took the evening off and went to one of our free community concerts. 2 towns 6 miles apart, during the summer they each have free concerts on opposite weekends. this was the first one and happened to be an old school friends band. Had a good time, saw a lot of people I went to school with that still live in the area. Got home real late.
When I was getting ready to go and just got out of the shower Giotto was really barking. Went out and there is the mangy coyote sitting on the hill across the canyon from where Giotto is penned. It's been hanging around for a few days and looks even sicker. So I got the .22 and took a shot at it. I didn't account for the distance and elevation so don't think I hit it but sure made it run. Hopefully it will go somewhere else.

I worked this morning and now home but it's hot in the house and I really don't feel like doing much. I might just go take a nap. Tried to rinse the laundry in the washer but it doesn't want to work. Going to switch outlets in case it's electrical. Otherwise it's probably the timer switch.

maryaz i hope the allergies and shingles died down. You are making great headway. Life does throw us curve balls and thats discouraging. Eventually you will be caught up on most of the backlog and things will be alot easier. Glad you are drinking more water, that helps alot. I think a couple of months from now you will be surprised at the progress youve made.
