I have been a nurse for 3 decades and mainly I just closed wounds with steri strips but the one time I needed to stitch a human was probably 15 years ago. He was refusing to go to the hospital. My oldest DD noticed I couldn’t pierce his skin with my sewing needles so she gave me some super sharp needles to use. My hands were shaking so much. She helped me by holding the end of the thread with the hemastat. But that type of needle should probably be in my arsenal.
Wow!! So it’s quiet. DH went back to bed. I have taken my meds and I haven’t even checked if we have coffee brewed yet. I crated Trouble last night. I find it wild DH didn’t let her out. Mom to the rescue.
I need to babysit a few hours tomorrow for DS & DIL to go to couples counseling. DS was ready to quit because he said she complains about him and he doesn’t say anything so I told him he needs to talk or he is wasting the whole point of even going. Apparently his private therapist (also a vet) told him the same thing and gave him a cheat sheet to use.
An old friend wants to give me 3 unwanted roosters. I asked DH if we have another cage we can use as a tractor. I never did get a straight answer but the roosters are doing a great job of destroying the grass. What’s 3 more going to do to us? Obviously we have way more roosters than we need for the girls but they all on grass duty except for 2 lucky boys. The girls in the coop are molting but the one that is loose sings the egg song and I think I might be able to find her nest. I suspect it’s under the boat. She is one of the bunch I caught with the garbage bin a few months ago and I guess I’m about to cash in on them. My 7 old hens were given to me. The 20 I caught in the garbage bin were abandoned in the back of the street so I didn’t pay for them. The only chickens I paid for are some unwanted roosters we mainly have on grass control. I might need to slaughter a few.
