The Hen House Community Group
This Group is for Hens only. A place where we can share and flock together:) May friendships grow here.
The sun is shining, but it's only in the 20s in lovely Northern Vermont. People ask why I live here....my people are here! I don't know what I'd do without my family. My Mother's attitude needs a major adjustment, but I think it's too late for that.
I put my body through way too much yesterday and I couldn't salvage what was left of the day. I did sleep, though...finally! My legs are really bad this morning, but I'll manage. The only hair besides my own that I'm touching today, are haircuts for a sweet, old couple who are finding it very difficult to get out. They're in their 90s and the sweetest people ever. Offering to go to their house was a no brainer. I'm making cookies to bring to them this morning and then doing their hair this afternoon.
That's pretty much it. What's on your agenda?
Oh...lots of hugs and support for Kim today.

88FWhat I do like is early morning clouds and then they disappear and the sun comes out. That was it's cooler in the morning. I'm sitting here looking out the window at the hummingbird with the river and dike as a back drop. It's hard to invision ever leaving but I'm also a realist with aging, especially when the luncheon we had with thirty former classmates on Monday. Sandra, we get news of...

89FToday it is again another hot day but cooler then yesterday. Since this is August it is to be expected in my neck of the woods. All the grass is yellow and flowers are starting to go to seed. I need to water my garden but this time of the year I'm so over it, which is weird because all my plants have their fruit or veggies.Sandra, this time of year reminds me of your Dad and his toms. We'd...
cherry, i'm glad you're getting sun at least! that's so kind of you to go and help that couple with cookies no less!! boy, i bet they appreciate that so much. i'm sorry your legs are bad this morning. i hope you get some relief from that. glad you got some sleep finally.
i finally slept well, too. an advil pm and melatonin, so i didn't wake every hour with aches. no nightmares, but still dreams about what's stressing me, but i was able to control them. i've taken my ativan, but feel a little anxious. just hope it stays under control. made coffee weak to help.
i have a lot to do today since it's payday, so lots of downtown errands. i'm trying to plan the easiest way to do this.
wishing all a good day and lots of hope for a good outcome for kim's son.
You're so sweet, Cherry. Sounds like a spend day, Serenity. Hope there are treats in there for you.
I'm here reading your posts as always, but I took the time to post this morning. Head has been troublesome of late and today is a percocet day.
Finishing an ugly task at work and moving onto something I like more later today. I had to work through the weekend and was thinking on quitting as I don't like the future here. I"m focusing on the negative and some nasty people.
Then this guy comes in my office and asks me why I work so hard and don't come out and spend time with them anymore (the production staff). I felt like crying. It's my own damn fault. I spend so much time fretting over the few idiots and there are so many more lovely people out there if I just get up and take the half an hour and sit with them and relieve stress. Lesson learned stupid. Turns out they are having a pot luck today so I'm going to definatly join in.
Hugs guys, I always read your posts and am here with you.
Angela
miss your posts though!
hugs!!
I went out for another short walk, i then fell asleep again 2 afternoons running, i'm so tired!
Cherry, your so kind, one of life's earth's angels.
Seren, may your anxiety diminish, my nightmares happen about once a month on average, i can live with that.
Enigma, what happened with your kitchen, is it finished yet? I may have missed the update on it.
hugs
My kitchen is marvelous. Still haven't painted but the green tape is up for this weekend's paint task. Very serene looking but just my style and I love love love love the counters and how they are not bumpy and scratched. And all the drawers pull out my stuff, instead of me having to bend down and dig in. Well worth it. And the extra space now that the microwave is tucked above. I'll try to get pictures once it's painted.
Yesterday morning i went for my first walk out and about since i had my operation, and i fell asleep in the afternoon.
Today i went for another short walk, and again i fell asleep this afternoon.
Surgery has exhausted me, i'm soooo tired zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
looking forward to the pics of your new kitchen : )
Enigma you do work to hard honey! Take some time and remember to enjoy life a little more. Hurray for the Toyota quitting his job....one headache gone huh?! Can't wait to see your kitchen!
Serenity glad you got some painless sleep!
Empathy sounds like you are doing really good and healing quickly...I'm glad.
Court went well for my son. He got 6 mo. Probation, 25 hrs community service, and has to take some drug classes, write a 3 page paper on why drugs are harmful.....seems like their is something else but can't think right now. Anyway he got his second and last chance. Next time , iF there is a next time, and I pray there isn't, will be bad.
Thank you all for prayers and well wishes. Love you guys and really appreciate the support!
Pretty stressed and hurting so I am down for a nap....hope you all have a good day.
Hugs
Cherry you are an angel and cookies too. I'm hungry now, lol. Holler at me later if you feel up to it.
Everybody else I'm sorry I can't seem to keep up with all the names. But I'm so glad things are going good for a change. Your all in my prayers daily. I love the Hen House. Cluck, cluck.
I'm so sleepy today it seems like at least one day a week all I can do is sleep. My daughter cancelled her plans for tonight. So I don't get to see my little angels tonight. I'm to tired anyway. I'll get to see them Friday for about 6 hours, Yeah!!
Taking a nap now. God bless you all. Talk to ya'll later today.
Hugs,
Marci
Kim, that is great and I pray and hope there is not a next time either. I think with a Mom like you he'll do ok!
Cherry you are as sweet as cherries! I am allergic to cherries, but i remember how sweet they are. To go to their house and bring cookies, wow! your the best!
Emp, glad your walking a bit and hopefully all will heal well.
Enig, glad the kitchen is going well. Can't wait for mine, but i think i have to take the bull by the horns and talk to the cabinet guy myself as hubby says "oh he'll get to it"!!!!
Hope you had/have a good nap Marci! I know the feeling of wanting to see the little ones, but when you are tired it is hard!
My day!
I got brave and made an appointment to see a new Dr. Thinking it would take time I called this morning, but low and behold i get in tomorrow!
Just an yearly, but with someone ( i hope) understands a middle age women better then my last one. I would not go, but i need BP med and this is the only way. Maybe i can talk to her about the chronic pain and all that. My other one just said i was depressed, duh! when one feels bad they are depressed!
So wish me luck!
Stir fry tonight, a light dinner, i just love weighing less at the first appointment!
hugs to all
Janie
Seren, glad you slept well, nice HUH?
Kim good news with your son. Hope all the stress you have suffered just drains right out.
Angela cheering you on and with you for one less bad guy at Corporate in Germany. If they replace him
I hope it is a woman. Enjoy your potluck at work.
Serenity I know you are probably tired from all your errands. Wishing you good sleep tonight.
Cherry good for you on house calls. I know they appreciate you. Hope your day was good.
Marci maybe not so bad your daughter changed plans for evening. You can rest up and be ready for those little angels on Friday.
Empathy sounds like your recovery is moving along well. Sure you will need extra rest for a week or so so.
Good for you to keep moving.
Tomorrow will be the first day all week we haven't had our sick grandson. I hope to get some sorting and
Cleaning done. Just managed to change sheets and sort my linens out a bit today. Sure love my little ones but they are time consuming and little gets done. Wouldn't have it any other way. They grow up so fast.
