January



       I can still feel the lasting effects of Covid. Taking a deep breath just isn't happening and the amount of mucus that is still present is just ridiculous. Every virus is different for each individual, but I'm over this. I kept up with my vaccines and took the raved about vitamins. You know what? None of that helped in my situation. I still caught Covid and I still have symptoms. My body just has to "work it out itself." 

      Taylor is still having issues with mucus as well. She has a slight cough that seems to linger. There hasn't been any fevers in days but that cough is enough to make anyone feel sorry for her. Sleep is still nonexistent for her. She cycles in 2.5 hour increments. Which makes working nearly impossible due to lack of sleep. I have zero concentration and patience at the moment for tedious tasks. 

     Her first words were spoken the other day. I was very excited and sad at the same time. Her first word was "dada," and I so wanted it to be momma. I feel like I spend the most time with her. I was hoping it was all about connection. Not favoritism, but connection. Time spent matters right?  Maybe I'm just super jealous that he got the glory. I know you cannot hear me chuckle, but I'm laughing. He gloats in this small success. Hopefully, her next words will resemble momma?   Do all parents have these same feelings?  I will be doing some research to find out the answer. Feel free to message/ comment your thoughts.

The Teacher's Lie by Brid Cummings

     A book review at its finest. I think every book is worthy of a review, so here goes nothing. I think the overall story is worth your time, however, I feel like the person who read it aloud on audible did the book dirty. Her accent and weird pausing in the middle of sentences really threw me off as a reader. I actually went back and purchased a paper copy. The author kept me guessing throughout each chapter, but the book was slow moving. I would put it down often to just take a break.      I would give this book a 3 out of a 5 due to the pacing and sequencing of events in the plot. Do not listen to it on  Audible, because it's terrible and dry.

LGFCU to Civic Bank

      This transition or merger has driven me absolutely crazy. I hate it and cannot even fathom how everything will work out. As a customer, I'm so annoyed and the lack of answers by actual people is ridiculous. So, I guess it will be only online banking? With school, a toddler, and a small farm I have not had the chance to move everything over to a different bank. It wouldn't matter anyway, because I have a loan through them that will transfer to the Civic bank.      Ahhhh!  Today, our cards stopped working and I was so upset. I had forgot and didn't get money out of the ATM beforehand. They forget that some of us are over 30 minutes away from the nearest town! I guess cash is really KING! I just home all my automatic withdrawals don't mess up along with everything else. I have no idea how older people will get through this phase. Both my mom and grandmother don't even use computers and can barely operate their phones. Both of them have never even us...

Counting

      Counting on something is just another way to set yourself up. Each year I do this and you would think that I learned from the previous year's mistake, but NO I didn't. So here we are again sitting down here at the pout house thinking about how we are going to rebound from my expectations. Money can be made again and future planning will be taking place.           I will have to count my losses fully take responsibility for the fact that our egg production just cannot keep up with the demand. I will have to pay back a few people because I cannot fill their orders. Egg production drops during the winter months.  I know the ladies I work with will just want to barter for something else. Maybe once we get ducks that can be a trade off. I do not know a lot about ducks and will have to do some extensive research. We do have a small pond on the premises and that will fill some of the needs.          Any pointers o...
