Seth, Brake Change, Sick Chickens, PT for Knee
Hello, Friends!
This was a hard week for me. I was fighting a cold and my seasonal affect disorder appropriately called, SAD. I do everything I'm supposed to do---hike with Henry out in the woods, workout DVD's and/or treadmill, church, Bible Study women's groups, use my special SAD therapy lights...but, some weeks are just hard!
Physical Therapy:
This week I started my PT for my injured knee. It was really uneventful, she asked questions and gave me a few print-off sheets of exercises to do at home. I have a follow-up in two weeks. I was disappointed. Luckily, my knee is improving and the brace has been very helpful as well.
Sick Chickens:
I have a black chicken, called Flopsy, that is sick. Flopsy wouldn't accept being isolated in a cage, but our other sick one, Bunny was happy for the private food and water! Bunny, a white hen was clearly suffering from pneumonia this week too. I put her in a open cage in the coop to keep her germs from getting to the others, but still keeping her with her family in the coop. I'm scrambling eggs and cooking her up lots of special treats, which she seemed happy to have. I went through this with Bunny last year and it took around six weeks (or more), but eventually I was able to see her through the illness and recover. I hate this time of year where I have sick chickens. It takes so much more effort and care to check on a sick bird repeatedly throughout the day. I hate to see them not feeling well and it is so hard to know how to best help them.
Chickens:
Saturday warmed up enough to get the chickens out for a free-range session.
Bible Study:
Bible Study Fellowship: BSF on Wednesday mornings
I skipped last week, but went back again this week. I've finally processed my disappointments with people and have moved back to just focusing on learning.
Thrive: Monday night's group:
The Unexplainable Church: Reigniting the Mission of the Early Believers: A Study of Acts 13-28

Hiking with Henry:
Thankful for the big woods around our house and a dog that never gets cold. I just love hiking with Henry; especially in the winter.
Knives Out:
Yay! I FINALLY got to see the new movie, Knives Out! Dd's boyfriend bought it and quickly allowed me to borrow it! It was a fun movie with lots of twists and turns.
Truck:
Dh heard his brakes making noise and thought he'd just need to put on new brake pads, but once he pulled off the pads, he saw the routers were also worn down. Then when he was trying to take off the tires a lug bolt broke; which turned out to be a really big deal to get the broken piece out. He had to go back to the auto store to buy a new lug bolt. It took two days, but he got all the work done. He just bought this used truck around August, so he hadn't looked at the brakes yet. Now he is good for a while.
Friday Night with Seth:
After two failed Friday Night with Seth, this week finally worked! Dd said she was going to do all the cooking this time, but I helped out by getting all the prep work done before she got home. She wanted to make mashed potatoes, so I peeled and chopped and got the potatoes all ready for her. She cooked up some shrimp to go with the mashed potatoes. After dinner we all played UNO---Dd, Seth, Dh, and me. We had a great time and laughed a lot!

Dd's Progress for the Week:
Church and Bible Study:
Dd went with Seth, her boyfriend, to church again this week. She has stopped going with me...bummer...but, at least she loves going to church.
