My get up and go got up and left without me today. I have absolutely no motivation to do anything. I feel a bit weak and very tired today. Decided I would make this a rest day – as if I had much of a choice. Trusting tomorrow I can get something done.
Going down to do the chickens was much easier today. The snow has melted some and since I have been down and back a couple of times I have a path cut through the deep snow. I just follow my footsteps and I don’t have to break a new path. The girls gave me 14 eggs today which is about normal for them.
Found a dead chicken when I went down today. This one has been hanging around inside the coop for the last two weeks or so. She had lost her comb somehow and I could tell she wasn’t going to make it through the winter. It is still a shock to open the coop door and find a dead one.
I handle disposing of them better than I used to. I keep trash bags down there to put them in. Still not an easy thing to do though. I am down to 26 or 27 now.
Wonder why chickens lose their combs and if there is something I could do to prevent it. I have had another one or two do that and they don’t live for more than a month or so after they lose them.
The windows guys decided not to come today. They are to text me later today and see how conditions are and decide if they are coming tomorrow or not. The weather is to be much warmer next week, although not warm enough for the EFIS guy to work so am going to try to delay them until then. There is still quite a bit of snow on the decks that they will have to shovel off if they decide to come this week. It should be gone by next week.
Kathy shoveled the very top part of the driveway this morning so she can get her car out so she can go to work in the morning. She drove down the driveway to make sure she can get out of it. When they plow the road in front of the house, sometimes they pile the snow so high the cars can’t get out of the bottom of the driveway. She said she was able to get on the road so we should be good to go. The UPS driver had come this morning and cut a path in the driveway – that was nice of him!
Tomorrow afternoon I have a Chiropractor appointment at 3:20 and then I am picking up a grocery order at 4:00. I have a couple of gift cards to get at Walmart and I need to stop at a bank and get the right denomination of bills for the Christmas games. It will feel good to get those ends tied up and done.
Feeling a bit restless this afternoon. Not sure why. I have had trouble settling down and staying with anything for very long today. Just one of those days, I guess. I haven’t had one for a bit so maybe I was due one. I’m sure by tomorrow things will be easy again for me.
I talked to one of the insurance agents today that is working up a quote for me. I still need to call the other one and get a second quote. Just not in the mood to do that today. Somedays I can talk on the phone and other days not so much.
Feeling a bit like I have come to a fork in the road. It feels like there is a big decision ahead of me that I will have to make. The only problem is, I have no clue what it might be I have to decide to do. I feel change is on its way to me. Sometimes all I can do is fasten my seat belt and hang on for this ride called life. Things have a way of working out – sooner or later. All is well right here right now so am doing my best to stay present to that. Worry has never helped me solve a problem before and it won’t help to fall into worry now – especially since I don’t know what to worry about!
Grateful I could take a rest day today, grateful the snow is melting, and grateful tomorrow is a new day. All is well! Right here, right now, All is well.
