OK, just a quick slacker alert!

I have been sick. Not 'normal' sick. 'Lady' sick. Ended up in the ER (of the worst hospital in MI, apparently) on Thursday. No help. Trying to find a local doc that can see me before April. So far, not so good. Keeping up with my animals and minimal household stuff is wearing me out. No more posts until I feel stronger. As if I'm a consistent poster anyway! :p

:( SSD i missed the jokey posting and straight to the not feeling good posting :( I must work on my timing!

Meanwhile, get better sis! :hugs I hope you find a good doctor with at least half a brain, and maybe wouldn't hurt if he isn't ugly too...and maybe if he's really nice AND smart...it'll make it less of a pain in the tuckus to go. :D Get better either way though...even if he looks like the north end of a southbound mule okay :hugs

You get to a doctor, honey. I've been wondering where you were at. Get better!

Well, got the preliminary test results back. My hemoglobin in very low and my white blood cell count is through the roof. DH is panicking, but I refuse to read too much into it right now. Go tomorrow for some more tests - these will help narrow the list of possibilities. The doc (a woman, for now WBF, but the specialist I'm scheduled with is a guy ;) ) gave me some meds that have helped some, plus I have been using home remedies to boost my hemoglobin (and LOTS of iron pills, per doc's orders - did you know that, if iron makes you burp, it kinda tastes like green peppers?! I have been tasting green peppers all day for over a week now! :p )

On a good note, I was 'forced' to take a ride into town with DH this weekend. :D Our new bank, for some reason, will not allow him access to our accounts. So, he needed to go to Lowe's and Menards and I got dragged along to pay for it all :lol: Anyway, it was a beautiful drive - he took the back way instead of the expressway, so I could look at the scenery - and we saw A BALD EAGLE!!!! In a field, RIGHT BESIDE THE ROAD! It was the first one I had ever seen in the wild, and it was huge!! Hubster stopped the truck and backed up, so I could get a better look at it - well, it didn't care for that and flew across the road, right in front of our truck, and perched up in a tree next to the road on the other side! DS#2 was so upset that he stayed home and missed it :(

I have been soaking up the sunshine that we have been graced with here, and S-L-O-W-L-Y filling my seed starters :p DH set me up a table outside, so things will hopefully go faster - up to now it was, add some dirt, rest. Add more dirt, rest. Water down dirt, rest. Drain off excess water, well - you get the idea :lol:

We have talked to the farm we got Ice Cream from. The bull calves won't be ready until August, so we will have to provide a 'one night stand' for my baby girl this year. It's not her fault, so I hope none of you think less of her because of it :lol: We have found a miniature Jersey bull about an hour away, but I told DH I have to see him first - a 42" miniature is NOT breeding my 34" little girl!! As far as her 'permanent' boyfriend is concerned, we have our choice of a half Jersey/half Angus, or a 3/4 Jersey/1/4 Angus. DH wants the last one, but I don't want a predominately Jersey bull. I see his point though. We found out we CAN register Ice Cream ( :celebrate That means her babies could bring in more $$$$, if she's bred to the right 'guy' ), so DH wants a register-able bull. I want one that is NOT a jerk, since I will have to take care of it!

Wish me luck tomorrow! I am driving myself to the doc's - I HATE relying on other people, and the dizziness and trying to pass out problem I've been having has all but quit, so I get to drive all by myself! :gig

I could have easily been the one to type that...I don't really like to go out into the 'civilized" world all that much myself, but I will mke exceptions if there's a feed store or garden center involved. :gig

Thanks! I would be glad to just get back to my old, slightly lazy self :p

I have decided to take a short break from the seed planting :( and have begun working on a gift for our old nieghbors - a twisted attic windows wall hanging, as a thank you for helping us with our house down south. Let's hope I can get it done in a timely fashion! :lol: Wish I could post pictures, cuz I think it will turn out cool!
