Whatever works🤣
For reference, as I’ve said before, I’m a new Chicken 🐓 Mom. Gladys decided she wanted to be a broody pms bish. Thought I’d have had them longer before this nonsense🤣, but here we are!
Have followed advice given here, was getting ready to toss her into broody bish jail. Then today, as I was hanging with the girls while I waited for chicken Daddy, I put on some 🎼. That got all of their attention, broody girl started peeking out from the 2nd level. Then I put on this song & Gladys came down. As soon as I turned it off, she’d go back up. Hmmm…Put it on again & down she came!
Will continue Chicken music 🎶 therapy tomorrow, I’ve been spending more time multiple times a day trying to persuade Gladys to stay outta the box.
P.S.- she came all the way out of the coop, did her thing outside the coop.
To be continued….

I Wish I could Take The Cancer Away
My youngest child, my beloved daughter, was DX’d with Stage II BC last Fall; she was 32. She’s endured Chemo, a Bilateral Mastectomy, Lymph Node removal surgery & will be starting radiation soon.
I am so proud of her; she’s a tough & resilient cookie, has a very supportive partner (love him), family & friends. She’s doing ok.
I’ve felt so helpless throughout this whole process; I’m really grieving for what she’s been going through & like me, she’s independent & doesn’t like to be coddled. I have so much admiration & respect for her!
But, as I said, I feel so helpless that I can’t fix this, that are shitty family genes have hit her so young. She’s been vigilant about screening since her 20’s, given our family history. I’m so angry at the medical profession; she’d been telling them for months she felt something was wrong & bless her, she aggressively fought for further testing. I’ve been down this road myself.

I was sitting here in bed earlier today, where I’ve basically been since yesterday, because of an unexpected attack of autoimmune related costochondritis. Ive been experiencing a flare from my AI diseases + having minor surgery next week. (My Rheum Dr. is getting me in ASAP Monday, grateful for her!!)
Anyway, I’m so fed up, I always get up & just go on after these issues start settling down, but it’s Spring & I/we have so many outdoor things we’ve been doing, which I love.
In the midst of my self pity, I had a big moment of self realization. I’ve always been a caregiver; my husband takes very good care of me, but honestly, I hate being dependent on people, even him. I feel guilty when my adult kids treat me, lol.
Suddenly it occurred to me that, hey, I deserve to be cared for. I shouldn’t feel guilty about needing a little bit of totally selfish care/self care; I’ve selflessly done this for many others over the years & have few regrets!
Anyone else feel like I do?

I just want to express my gratitude for this sub; I’m a newbie 🐓 Mom & if it wasn’t for all the great info & advice I’ve seen/received here, I’d be an anxious mess.

Hi everyone, I don’t have points right now for the fast food places I occasionally go to (McDonalds expired my bonus points). My question is how do you lovely donors transfer the offers/rewards? TIA.
