I have daylight savings, and last couple days have just not been fun. Problem cows, and I have decided I hate people.

Morning. Yawn.

Why do we have to set our clocks ahead one hour? Why don't we just set them back 23 hours?

I'm up.

I am up too! Today is Corgi's birthday! He's 13 today. It's raining, but I don't care about the muddy corgi paws, I'm taking him to Petsmart. It's in the next town over (about 45 minutes), but he'll enjoy it. We used to go all the time when we lived in the city. And we will hit the drive thru on the way home.

Happy birthday Corgi!

So I made my own coffee creamer. Nothing fancy, just some half and half but I added about half almond milk. I also added some vanilla. Not really thrilled. I need more flavor.

Did I sleep last night?

We have a dog bakery here that throws doggie birthday parties! You can invite all your doggie friends and have a party. Happy Birthday Corgi.

You are way too perky this early.

Dona Worry Be Happy · Vette's SS!!

Miercoles had dead breech (yes, both of them) twins on monday. She immediately got milk fever and became ketotic. And retained her placenta. And then got mastitis. And then developed a uterine infection. And then caught pneumonia.
The vet has been out to see her twice and to try and work magic. She keeps going down, but usually with a bottle of calcium and dextrose (which is basically sugar water) she stands up again. She looks like death warmed over for ten seconds in a 25 year old microwave, but by some miracle she is still eating.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I don't know how you do it Dona. I know that work is never ending and 24/7. I admire you.

That sounds terrible. That poor cow. And poor you, I know you are worried sick working extra to take care of her.

I need to have a selfish brat vent time:

I've been saying for over a week that I wanted to get pizza and watch the selection show today. I want pizza from Pizza Hut. Then my mother decides that *if* we have pizza, she will make it. No, I want pizza from Pizza Hut. Now she has decided that because my dad wants it, she's making chicken in the crock pot. This time she says she's just going to dump a jar of gravy on it and cook. *shudder*. And, if I go ahead and get the pizza I've been looking forward to for a week, she'll get all offended. Sigh.

Grrrrrrrrrrrr I feel for you. Love for pizza should be respected.

We did everything right with her too, it is very discouraging. She has always been a bit fragile, and this has really run her through the mill.
Celebrity had a bull calf on Wednesday that she spent al few hours trying to violently kill, so we gave it to Miercoles hoping it would cheer her up. She is too weak to kick him or run away when he tries to nurse, so she just shakes her head and glares a lot. Poor baby, even the half dead cow doesn't want him!

Dona Worry Be Happy · Vette's SS!!

Oh, and while she is busy trying to escape from the bull without moving she kidnapped Jace's heifer calf this morning, and has been doting on her all day. Go figure.
Jace was not impressed.

Sounds like you are having a rough weekend Dona, I hope things settle down.

Sunday school for the boys, then they will go with DH to hit some golf balls and stop for treats (Duck Donuts), while I have some peace and quiet.

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

My house is a disaster! I spent the better part of the morning moving things out of the two bedrooms and hallway that are getting the HW. I had to get everything out of the closets and find other places in the house to stow it all. The furniture is being picked up tomorrow so I had to disassemble two beds. So much work and it's frustrating. I keep trying to ignore the mess and dream of the HW and the new furniture. Everything will be done within the next few weeks. I think I can, I think I can

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

We got out all the stuff for mom and dad's party. Separated it into "stations" so we can see what all we have for what and what we need.

I've got hundreds of dollars of decorations in stacks in my living room.

BUT I think we have everything we need except one pitcher.

FNW · Guru

GLad it's coming together, lily! When is it?

weltschmerz · Guru

I woke up in a panic, thinking I set the clock forward, but forgot to set the alarm. I threw on some clothes, splashed some water on my face, and called work.
"I'm coming, I'm coming! Hold down the fort! I'll be there in 30 minutes!"

Marie Claire at work just laughed. "Relax, Weltz. It's Sunday, not Monday. You don't work today."

Sometimes you just have to let people be offended.

Little known fact. At the beginning of my first marriage I lived on a dairy. My husband worked it. I know a little bit about it. It's excruciatingly hard work.

I just spent an hour raking the acorns that fell last fall. Just one part of the year where I have very large oaks. DD and her friend put the piles I raked into the wheel barrow. It was full when we were done, had to be 60 pounds of those suckers! My arms are sore. Going to the store and getting a bottle of wine.

Did you know acorns can be turned into flour and eaten?

I want to try it.

I have several large oat trees in my yard. I despise those acorns!

They're not acorns. They're pre-born mighty oaks. Leave them alone.

Is there a market for 60 pounds of acorns?

Maybe on the Squirrel Exchange ?

I have nine trees worth.

years ago I had 26 taken down in my yard, these last two are tricky to take down. They are probably 30+ years old so big and they are next to the electrical lines. No easy task to take down. I would love them to come down and I would replace with cherry trees or something else pretty.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

I can take down the White Oak but not the Live Oak. Stupid county regulations.
