Been stuck in a cold weather rut lately. Finally, temps are back to my level of tolerable, so I'll be back outside for projects today. Will probably start gathering materials for closing in the last portion of the goat shelter that I've been working on. I'm sure the two goats in that area will appreciate having a cozier home.

Getting close to baby time! Did some CDT shots for the heavy bred does a couple days ago. They get a booster in their last 4 - 6 weeks of pregnancy. Doing that 'supercharges' the antibodies in the colostrum and gives the newborns protection. Should have the first deliveries at the end of the month. It's always an exciting (and a little anxiety producing) time.

DH is doing pretty well. He's still sore from falling against the livestock trailer a couple weeks ago. Gotta keep on him to get some exercise though. He has a tendency to want to sit most of the day. Guess we need to start back on our daily regimen instead of expecting him to self-exercise, lol. Just not going to happen. It won't hurt me a bit either - I don't do as much in the colder temps. Much easier to hide inside.

Need a second cup and then gotta get started on my day.

i certainly understand just wanting to take a break at times, but then i also know that by spring i'll be kicking myself for not getting enough exercise. i hate exercising just for the sake of it... MWF i should be going at least a half hour of some Tai Chi warmups and other exercises to keep the blood moving and some muscle tone if i'm not getting out for shovelling snow. today i'll have to do a little bit of shovelling - nothing major coming down and now the sun is coming out so it will melt off if i can get out there and get it done. so that is what i'll be doing soon as better early than late...
