Denim Deb Hay, hay, hay. Thank the Lord!

Well, I've been out on my ride, came home, got a shower and now I'm relaxing for a bit B4 going to bed. And, while it wasn't that cold out there, it sure felt it! I was freezing B4 we ever stopped for our ice cream. The place we went this week was near the farm, so I swung by on my way home and got a vest I had in there. And, even w/the vest on, I was cold! I've worn less when it's been cooler out, but then again, that was when the sun was shining. It was well past sunset when I got home.

So glad you had a good ride. Sorry you were cold though... DH went on a ride from the Houston area to Mt. Rushmore a couple years ago. His friend had a heated vest and gloves, and DH didn't! For the next long ride - he will have them!

For me, that would only be good if they're battery operated. I don't have a cigarette lighter on my bike. (Or, I'd have to take my power pack and have it plugged into that.)

Today was one of those days, not the best of days, but I've had worse.

First off, I have a ton of pressure on my sinuses. So, I have to watch it. I get overly tired when I'm like this, it can trigger vertigo attacks. So, when hubby left, I went back to bed. And, I didn't want to get up even later on. But, I had a lot to do, so I got up.

First problem-there's not much in the house I can eat for breakfast. We didn't go shopping over the weekend like we were supposed to. I was going to go to Aldi's yesterday, but got held up at the allergist and just barely made it to the chiropractor's on time. So, I didn't make go shopping then. I finally just ate a cereal bar w/my coffee.

I'm heading out to the farm and RU calls. Her dogs had killed a mother duck and she needed help rounding up the ducklings-10 of them. Only problem being, she had to leave. She does subbing and had gotten called in. KN couldn't help, so that left me w/PT for a helper. We managed to catch 8 of them. But the other 2 got into an area w/weeds that are well over my head! (RU had been going to plant a garden there, but never had the chance to get it ready.) And, they went thru a fence into an area that's impossible for me to catch them! I did however scare them back the other way. I told PT let them go, don't do anything I don't want them to come back this way since there's weeds w/thorns on them. So what does she do? Try to catch them, and scare them right back in that area. I finally had to stop trying. I couldn't get them, and I was using up all the time I did have.

Got more of the weeding done in my field, but had no time to work on the fence line nor clean up manure. I had to go and get my hay. Got the hay w/no problem and go back to the farm. I had left Misty and Stormy grazing in the seeded area. I should have put Honey and Licky in there w/them. When I got to the farm, they were both in the run in, so I was able to get in the field w/no problem and got the gate shut. Drove over to where I wanted to unload them. Licky and Honey came out, and started running all around the truck and trailer. Opened up the area when I put the RBs, and let them in there while I went and got the tractor. (There's a little bit of grass in there, so I wanted them to eat it down and stay out of my way. Got the hay unloaded, stuck out a bale, put the tractor away, came back thru and unwrapped the RB, then got in my truck and drove to the gate. I open it up and drive thru. B4 I had a chance to get out and shut the gate, Honey and Licky realized it was opened and they came running! And, they got out. They ran across the road. So, I left the gate wide opened, got truck and trailer up the lane and went and got some feed, a halter and lead. Walked across the street and started to shake the feed and call them. They came running. So, I put the feed down and let them eat while I got the halter on Licky. I knew if I caught her, Honey would follow, but wasn't sure Licky would follow if I tried to lead Honey. (Plus, Licky's easier to lead!) Led them back to the field. Honey decided NOT to come in, so I shut Licky in Misty's stall and went after Honey. Got her in the field, then shut the gate. I let Licky loose, and was finally able to get my truck and trailer unhooked. At some point in time, I dropped my knife. I don't know where, and didn't have time to look. Fed the chickens, and was finally able to leave.

Now I'm home and relaxing in the house while I watch the Phils. I need to get up and clean my kitchen, but don't really feel like it. Anyone want to come over and do it for me?

 

[SSDreamin]

Hmmm... mind if I say NO! ?? Awful long drive, plus I need to get off my tush and clean my own

I hate Murphy days. Something goes wrong, next thing you know, nothing wants to go right! Maybe tomorrow will go smoother for you

 

[Denim Deb]

Oh well, I knew it was a long shot. :/ Maybe if I told people I'm planning on making brownies...

 

[Denim Deb]

Could someone poke me or something? I still haven't moved and I NEED to get that kitchen clean!

 

[pinkfox]

Sorry for the crazy suckyness....
but *POKE*

 

[Denim Deb]

Well Pinky, I did think of you.

Someone must have poked me hard-B4 Pinky did. (Or else, it was just cuz I had to use the little room to the side.) But, I managed to work in the kitchen. First off, I had to do a bunch of dishes , then I put a ton of scraps in the composter after that, I was FINALLY able to work on the kitchen. I managed to get half of it done. For dinner, I just popped a pizza in the oven. I won't eat it all tonight, hubby's not home, so that will give me some leftovers to have for lunch (or breakfast) for a couple of days. I also mixed up some brownies. Hopefully, hubby won't get home until long after they're done. I'm supposed to bring brownies to the Nature Center tomorrow, so I don't want him to eat them all.

And the Phillies did win! It took them most of the season, but they're FINALLY playing well!

 

[Denim Deb]

Hubby's not home and the brownies are done. So, hopefully the smell will be gone B4 he gets home.
