Getting acclimated to country

[moxies_chickennuggets]

I wish I could have made a video of my EE hen (Boo) following my Uncle around whenever he went outside. I bet if she wasn't so small still she would've jumped onto the John Deere tractor with him. I had to be outside in this heat just to distract her from him so now my shoulders are sun brunt- applied SPF 55 to any bare skin and I still got burnt. I even tried to use aloe but nope that didn't help.View attachment 3369 I guess I'm too fair skinned to enjoy the outdoors during the day.

Ouch. I am red haired. I live in sunscreen 100, and have the gallon jug of aloe. Put some in one of those small spray bottles and spray as needed. I even have DH using it now on burns. I spray. It soaks in. Spray more. Repeat as needed.

That was a few weeks ago so I'm tan from that but did happen to get more sun over last weekend even though it was a semi-cloudy day (sun would come then go away) but now I'm turning a medium golden brown. One of my Uncle's had seen a pic I took yesterday which was a day (I think) after the sunburn and he says I look like a cooked lobster which I did feel like a cooked lobster even though I'm pretty sure a cooked lobster doesn't feel anything once being in hot boiling water. LOL

I'm exhausted tonight. Didn't really do anything today once I got back from my appointment today. Must be the heat, humidity got to me.
Right now I'm waiting on a couple of STUPID hens to get inside the coop. It's getting darker out but they are insisting on staying out past their bedtime.
I know at this particular time I'm not getting enough sleep seeing how I'm getting tired around 2pm and have to force myself to stay awake. I hate these weeks where I have appointment after appointment and sometimes they are EARLY morning appointments too. I could also be not getting a restful sleep at night which is a very good possibility seeing how I have 2 cats that insist on using me as a bed!!

Evict those cats from the bedroom and get some good rest!!

If I do that then the run Helter skelter throughout the when entire house all night long

I close the bathroom door at night and leave only that (downstairs) window open. So if she wants in, she can go into the bathroom, where I put a bed down for her, with her litter tray, but she can't go further into the house.

If I was to shut these little four legged monsters in a room that would be REALLY asking for trouble. Queen B of the house (Midnight) has always had full run of the house and she gets cranky also when she gets woken up by the 2 males horse playing throughout the house then she's a little witch for the entire day.

I don't let my cat boss me around.. My house, my rules. She gets the bathroom and if she annoys me enough, she gets the backyard only As since she can barely move around there without either a cock or a broody beating her up, she's behaving quite well at the moment! lol

My sentiments exactly! Those cats will get accustomed to the new arrangements and the new boss real soon!

I have to be really careful with Tyge seeing how he distrust females, only puts up with me because as of now I'm the only here.
