Thursday...

I have not been doing much hand stitching this week. Games on the phone have been happening instead at night. I did make some progress on this last night. Just that one corner to stitch in and then I really need to prep some more of these today.

These 5 chickens - 3 barred rock (black and whites) and 2 easter egger (mix) spent the night outside! The coop was finished up enough for that. A little work is needed to dig and bury the wire to the ground so critters don't dig in and a door is needed in between the two. There might be a quilt hanging there right now after a couple decided to fly into the others section of the cages last night. They got put to bed early due to the rain last night. 

During some free range time Tuesday afternoon after not having any since Saturday. I supervise them as there are chicken hawks around. Lily decided to claim the chair as hers.

Arn't I a pretty girl?

Today is my day off working. Greg is off to work this morning. Kids are logging into school for the day. 

My Noom (Down 13 pounds since June 23 when I started!) has let me know today is a day off as well! I love that this is no special foods, nothing is off limits and it wants me to fly free after the 4 months if we are comfortable in what we have learned. Lets hope the blood work next month reflects the change. I was pre-diabetic last year so this was a needed change for health reasons. The benefit - I am sleeping better, have more energy and feel much better! Heck - the size 14 pants are too big and the size 12 are comfortable to a little big =) 

We won't go into yesterday's dentist episode. I had a tooth infection, which needed cleaning out, antibiotics and then a root canal 2 weeks after that had healed. Then 3 weeks to get the temporary crown..... which should have been a 1.5-2 hour appointment but was more like 3 hours. Another 2 weeks and I went yesterday to get the permanent crown on... they put it in and said to bite down. I did. Crunch! It broke and there was a perfect circle out of it! Sigh... They fixed that one up and put it in as a temporary crown and made the mold for another permanent crown to be made. I get to wait almost 3 weeks this time .... Sigh. It has been a long 2+ months. On the positive - I'm not paying for this 'additional' stuff and it doesn't hurt. I just can't eat sticky things.... or popcorn. I do love my popcorn at night so it has been a very long time........

On tap for today is some outside work in the garden and trimming of the various bushes around the house. Some digging around the coop as well. But first... I think I'll visit the sewing room and play with some fabric.
