fasting blood work sucks

and other tales of woe
today was lab day
cause tuesday next is the vampire doctor

it wasn't as bad as usual, only four tubes
and i did try and hydrate as much as i could

it was cold out, and i had a teeshirt on ( so they could get the blood easy)
and a coat with a muffler and gloves but still it was cold
especially without coffee

the new baby budgies are starting to play
they crack me up
bernie stands there mesmerized watching them
i don't like the green color on mrs fezziwig, as i hate green and dark olive green is my worst but SHE is funny and spunky and full of life so i will forgive her the green....... and that it's an opaline does help some

i would like to breed parakeets if i can, as i am fascinated by the colors and their cheerful personalities

i gave them a new toy this morning and they are acting like it's going to eat them
hahahaha

in duckies.... phoebe is still growing primaries, they look PINK cause of the blood feathers
she is still in a horrible mood, poor little thing

lilli and momma are getting on ok, but they can't be in the same pen together as lilli tugs on momma's wings but they CAN graze together
so we have an improvement there

i cooked for the chickens yesterday and most likely will again today
6 hard boiled duck eggs pureed with shells, and chard, rice, corn, marigolds, garlic, and pasta
they seemed to love it
so today it will be pasta, oats, corn, hamburgers, garlic, parsley and mixed vegs
i have to get pellets for the ducks

we need a large seperate storage barn/workshop/canning kitchen..... if we have to stay here
and we need it NOW
oye
(just thinking of what i have to do and how i have no room to do it with)

ok
later
i need coffee
