My back has been settling down a lot now. It's only a bit painful in the morning, but it goes almost completely away once i'm up and motivated. My anxiety levels have been way down too, yesterday and Friday I only had to take a half a xanax during the day, compared to my normal full one.

AND i've been keeping my self busy just sitting in a quiet room, reading some books. I LOVE Nora Roberts books, and have read two of her books in the last three days. Got two more to go. ;)

I also have been very busy in the last few days because we now have 27 chickens, and 15 of them are babies. You know, the cute little Easter peeps. They are a handful! LOL! That a huge step up from the original 6 we got a month ago!

We still have 6 of the now adolescent chicks that we got a mont ago, two were roosters so I gave them away, plus we added 6 full grown hens in about a week ago, and then bought 6 peeps from Tractor Supply the other day, and then Friday night I ordered 15 more, 5 of each kind that I wanted, and THEN my hubby's uncle brought 9 more yesterday!!!  O.o

So when my chicks get here from the hatchery on Friday, we'll have 42 CHICKENS and 30 of them are BABIES!!!!!  Lord give me strength! LOL


They are a very nice distraction though, keeping my mind off of negative thinking, and keeping me busy to the point that I have no time to think about anything but their cute little fuzzy faces. I really enjoy them and have come to love chickens! LOL!

I hope you are all doing well!

Love & Hugs, Fox

I can just visualize Fox and her little chicks - run chicks run !  Fox knows where the hen house is.  ROFLOL.  smilewinkgrin

I could not resist teasing you a bit.  They sound delightful.  I remember when our daughter would talk us into letting her have baby chicks for Easter. 

Good to know you are keeping busy and that you are doing well.  A great day to share how well you are feeling.

Take care my friend.

shocked  MOKY!!! They are my babies, none of them will be eaten! nono  

I got them strictly for the eggs, and of course pets too! tongue

Thanks Kitt! I'm feeling really good lately, actually very happy. I think the increase in dosage is what I needed to get out of the funk I was in. I was feeling terribly depressed for a bit. I hope you are doing well my friend, I have been thinking of you guys every day, praying that you were doing just as good yourselves.

I'm in the process of cleaning my dresser and closet out and getting rid of some things I don't wear anymore to make some room, JEEZ I got alot of stuff! I have a big walk in closet and it's packed! Stopped to make dinner, so I figured while i'm eating i'd check on things again.

Talk to you soon!

((hugs)) Fox

Foxy you are postively making me look like a sloth!!! Go girl, go...and then come over to my house, I have some 'projects that you could do. Lol!

Great job on all of your endeavors, keep up the good work, and glad that you are feeling better all around. (be careful with your back for awhile!)

Give your little puffballs some cuddles for me:)

I sure will SC! I cuddle them every day. ;) I finished the closet ordeal, THANK GOD! and then I sat and watched Desperate Housewives and GCB. Now i'm getting ready to go read before I go to bed. It helps me relax.

Talk to you all tomorrow!

Hey Foxy,

How you doing today.  Are you keeping those baby chicks warm ?  Keep on posting your good times as just reading how well you are doing makes me smile.

Lottsa hugs,

Kitt

Hey there Kitt! smilewinkgrin  

I am doing very well at this point, feeling pretty great at the moment. Finally finished the backsplash in my kitchen. THAT was a pain in the butt (and back literally) LOL! And I noticed that i'm not that tired and worn down feeling during the day. I actually have some energy!  yeah

I spent the last two days outside with my chickens and dogs, the weather has been beautiful, so we put the babies, who are now 10 weeks old outside, with the big girls, for good, to make room for the new peeps.

I'll tell you what, the sunshine felt so good, all I could do was thank God, and tell him how grateful I am that i'm feeling better, and for everything he has given me.

I've learned that we go through trials and tribulations in our lives to make us stronger and wiser, and to appreciate things more.

I'm actually surprised that I feel so good right now, being that it's almost time for my "friend" (next week sometime).  

I'll keep posting to let you all know how i'm doing, whether good or bad, and try and answer some questions when I can. I 've just been soooo busy lately. Raising these chickens consumes A LOT of time. But it's very relaxing, and FUN! tongue

Much love & many hugs!

Fox

Foxy,

I am so glad that you are feeling better and better!

I can't help but think of the Lucy and Ethel episode (I Love Lucy) where they move out to the country and there are baby chicks everywhere! If you don't remember it look it up on youtube! Funny!

I hope that you continue to feel better through next week...we are on the same 'schedule', groan;{

Take care 'Mama Hen'

S.C

p.s....btw, those peeps aren't marshmallow filled and dusted with sugar are they? Mmmmmm!

LOL!!! I know exactly which episode you're talking about SC! I used to watch I Love Lucy all the time. My mom always told me that I reminded her of Lucy because i'm such a nut! We even share the same birthday, different years of course, but that's beside the point. I also took a picture with her wax figure when we went to Madame Tussauds in New York City, just for my mom.

'Mama Hen' lol! Now THAT'S funny! My niece told me she's going to start calling me 'the crazy chicken lady', instead of how people call some that have alot of cats, 'the crazy cat lady'.

Now i'm gonna go look up that episode on youtube. LOL!

BIG HUGS!!!

Fox
