trystinnHad a bit of a larky day that began with Josh's PT appointment for his back injury. I did my best to stay awake on the sofa in the hallway of the Naval Hospital, but given that I had his coat and mine, it was tremendously tempting to stretch out and nap. We got a bit of the storm that hit Seattle, 60+mph winds, rain, etc. Nothing too serious that I've heard of.
Managed to get the market shopping done, even remembered to buy shavings for the coops (which I've somehow managed to forget that last three times I've gone to the feedstore). Which was a very good thing, as Noah showed up today prepared for battle to make the coops as tidy as humanly possible for the in-laws. Speaking of coops, after a bit of excitement, our two new chickens have settled in nicely. We've even managed to name them both - Cagney (the Ameraucana) and Lacey (the Silver Laced Wyandotte. Both are doing quite well after a few initial confrontations with the Rhodies and Big Blue, who is sporting a bit of comb wounding as is Lacey. They are both happy to get pettins and be held, with only a minimum of grousing. I'm hoping for good pics tomorrow. The two large chicks are now firmly tucked away in the Bantie barn. Bonaparte is having a magnificent time intimidating the crap out of them. Pipsqueak is still in the brooder, I'm hoping having it to himself with encourage him to eat more and grow. At this point, over a month since hatching, he hasn't grown any since his first week. Chances are, sadly, that he won't make it. We'll take care of him until then, as a brooder chick.
Josh used the uber-chemicals to clean each bathroom & stove, so they are ready to go. I've vacuumed the back end of the house, will do the front half tomorrow. There's something in the pulling action of vacuuming that really aggravates my abdomen pain, so after doing so I had to take a few Alleve and lay down for an hour. I still need to do a bit of cleaning in the kitchen, but otherwise we're pretty good to go. Oh, and I need to buy a few pairs of jeans tomorrow. *eye roll* Then home for a bit of baking.
