I wrote yesterday about the problem I had with sending away for a *free* sample so what do I get in an email from Bratfink? She sends me a link for another *wrinkle* solution free sample. Just the link. Nothing else. I could just envision her laughing her ass off as she sent it to me. But that's just like her to do something like that. Testing me or teasing me without saying a word. Thanks a bunch, Sis! In a way, it WAS funny. But no thank you.....
The Beast had to refill the chicken's feeder today. He was stunned since it is so much bigger than the one he had in there and he really thought it would last longer. So he stuck around after he put the filled feeder back down for them to see what would happen. He said they immediately attacked the feed like starving chickens and he saw that they were actually digging out a lot of the seed with their feet. It shocked him but explained why the feeder emptied as fast as it did. I told him he should let it stay empty for a day and force them to eat up the feed on the floor. They would find it easily and clean that up with no problem. He said, *Next time...* I reminded him that farmers spread feed on the ground for chickens with no problem and they do well. He agreed so we will see if he does it......next time.
The chickens are still gathering around his feet when he comes into the barn and he can easily lean down and pet them without them freaking out or moving away from his hand. It seems that they actually want him to pet them once he starts doing that. The chickens push each other out of the way so they can be under his hand and get the attention. It's really cute.
It was wash day for the Beast so I was folding his undershirts, underwear and matching his socks for him. He took care of the loads that had his good dress pants and his *go-to-meeting* shirts. He's getting very good at being there when the dryer stops, complete with hangers, so that there's no ironing. He made the comment that the pants that have the best creases are actually the least expensive ones he bought from, of all places, Walmart! Ditto with his dress shirts. Not that he bought cheap ones even there but they were cheaper than the ones he bought at Kohl's or the other store whose name escapes me at the moment. They are both more upscale stores and, of course, more expensive. He's learning a little bit of a lesson on not being such a snob about how much he has to pay for his clothes to look good. All his sport jackets and his coats are expensive. Sure must give people a different story about our financial status than it actually is. They should look in MY closet. That would be a shock to them. LOL!
If we have another day of sunny weather, the ground should be dry enough for us to finally do the posts. He dug a hole and it started to fill with water (not a lot of it but more than it should) so he said, *...one more day.* So, perhaps we will finally get that done tomorrow. Then, when we get decent weather, we can let the chickens out to roam for a bit. I am just wondering how we will get them back inside before dark.
I think the Beast put some more salt in the water softener today. When I took my shower before going to bed, I had a bit of a hard time feeling like I rinsed off well enough. One good thing, though....the smell of my peach body soap still lingers.
I am writing this after my 3am potty break so I have only had 3 hours sleep. This time it wasn't my bladder waking me (although once awake, it called to me....), it was the TV that I had left on when I fell asleep. It starts this awful crackling sound when it restarts itself and downloads the updated TV guide for our provider. It does it every night at 3:02am. On the dote. Every damn night. LOL! So, now that I've written about my exciting day, how was yours? I hope it was without stress or anything to make you unhappy. I wish everyone nothing but joy and a great day. We all deserve that much. Love you bunches! ***Hugs***
