Well, sorry that I have been so lax on posting lately, but to be honest, I have lost all interest in it. Now, it is not that I do not enjoy hearing from you lovelies, I certainly do, but things have just gone downhill and I've withdrawn from a lot of things. Computers and social media and the internet can be wonderful, miraculous tools sometimes. And sometimes they can be the worst thing ever created. I've been trying to read more actual books lately and just do other things. I SO enjoyed the week in Florida with no online activities that it really impressed upon me that maybe life would be better with a little less of that stuff. So far...no!...lol! but it never hurts to try!
Another thing is that while we were in Florida, you know I pigged out on all sorts of seafood.....and apparently that is another thing that I am allergic to or just contains so much histamine that my body cannot process it correctly. So. It took me over a week to get over the side effects of that and I still am not feeling much of any relief in just the general symptoms I had to begin with.
And on top of all that we had an incident with the rooster. He had gotten very large and very aggressive apparently. I'll admit I did not notice much because I have felt so bad lately, but he jumped on Little Red and somehow injured her back (or something) to the point she can't really walk anymore. The confusing thing is she was able to walk around pretty well right after it happened but by the next morning she was just unable to get around at all. She can sit up about what you see here and is very alert and with a pretty good appetite, so I don't want to.....well, throw the towel in for her. It's been about 2 weeks though and not any improvement. I've given her aspirin and even a little muscle relaxer and that seems to help her being able to sit up more. But nothing even remotely like walking. I want to give her a little more time though and see if she can't recover.
And Susie has been sick again with some kind of internal thing that gets her about every 6 months, so I've had 2 chickens needing full-time doctoring or looking after.
*The rooster was taken to a farm in the next county to be sold.
The fall garden is doing well though. Thankfully. The weather has been really nice lately. I've read about 3 books that I enjoyed. And that's about it. I've been researching job possibilities because that has become pretty important. I've got to get back to some kind of paid work. An old carpenter buddy that I worked with for years passed away suddenly a few weeks ago; just after we got back from the beach. I was pretty sad to hear about it and did make the 3 county trip to the funeral. Was nice to see some of the other guys though.
So, there you have it. Not a lot that I've really wanted to talk about lately. And may not for some time. I'll see ya'll around though.
