I read online of the new ordinances in my city. When I had chickens, they were not allowed. However, over half of the houses on my block had chickens. No one would admit it, but chickens were evident.
Now, 6 hens are allowed for each house. No roosters are allowed. The coop can be no larger than 120 sq.ft. Mine lived in a Rubbermaid box, so I was within the limits. And, only four hens lived in my dog yard. I cannot wait to have chickens again.
Monday was spent recovering from Saturday and three hours at church on Sunday. Tuesday was recovery time, too.
We determined we were not leaving the house until Friday when there is no rain or storms. I think that is prudent. So, we have been here, doing little. Tonight, Wednesday, I muttered that I wanted Chic fil A. When Tommy said okay, who was I to resist. I paid. He swears I said KFC so he went there. The chicken was delicious as was the gravy and mashed potatoes. We got a breast each and shared the biscuit and potato/gravy portion. I had sweet potatoes and slaw fixed here. The streets were dry and there was only a slight WARM breeze, so we broke our promise to stay in until Friday
It was over 70F degrees here, even at 6 pm. It's nice out but scary. We know in the South this means tornadoes. But, where exactly? The news stations here do a great job covering weather for hours if necessary.
Tommy took my clothes to the washing machine, went out and put all but one pair of panties in the dryer, and then got in the dried clothes. I took a nap while he worked...lol.
Tuesday night I slept well until I awoke soaked. An hour later I had Tommy feel my last six inches of my hair that was still soaked. When I got up before six, he turned the ac on for the rest of the day. The heat and sweatiness has caused me to have a sore throat. He had the fan on all night and only turned the ac on at 6 am or so. When I awoke and sat up, I felt my sweaty chest and sweat dripped from my chin to the back of my hand. I am telling you it was hot in that room.
After he brought in a load of wet clothes for me on Tuesday, I hung them on hangers and across plastic boxes in my bedroom. They are all dry, so now is time to fold. I made cake mix cookies from a cake mix--red Velvet. That was easy.
There is nothing exciting here. Our Valentine celebration is a cookie apiece ordered from Cookie Fix in Homewood. Anne mentioned it on her blog, Anne in the Kitchen. We pass it all the time, and I have commented I wanted a cookie. We don't have time to stop on the way to the doctor, and afterwards, I am too wiped out to care. Now, we will get one. Any place called Cookie Fix must be delicious.
Tonight's plan is to fold clothes and then soak my feet in vinegar and water, and get a load of dark clothes ready to take to washing machine tomorrow. Exciting? Not really. Maybe I will wash dishes. Maybe I will file more papers. I might exfoliate my feet and legs, only my legs that show in pants. LOL
Are storms in your forecast? Tornadoes? Flooding? Folding the clothes? What then?
The cookies at Cookie Fix are very good. You can also get them frozen!
ReplyDeleteAnne,
DeleteWhen I first saw the shop, I just knew the cookies would be delicious. I saw that about getting frozen cookies on their website. I am going to order them tomorrow since I imagine thre will be a line. I am glad you reminded me of Cookie Fix.
We are under a winter storm advisory. We've had rain and so much sleet that it looks like it has snowed. Snow is forecasted for tomorrow. I will stay cozy at home.
ReplyDeleteKFC is good although it is certainly not CFA. Glad it was good.
Wendi,
DeleteYes, this will leave me still wanting CFA! That is a lot of sleet at your house. I will be cozy here until Friday when the forecast is clear and sunny.
Imagine the air conditioning on here. -20 temps today. You'd be wearing socks.
ReplyDeleteSam,
DeleteI cannot fathom that temperature! I suppose i would be wearing socks and other things that i hate to wear. This is why i do not live up North and live in the South.
We are dealing with ice and snow here. First real snow of the season. Round 2 came in this morning just as we were getting kids to school. Thankfully made it to school safe and now I don't have to go back out until dismissal time. Good for me as I was diagnosed with bronchitis on Tuesday. Doing a little better today but still get winded easily if I do toomuch . I do need to do laundry today though as my jeans are dirty.
ReplyDeleteRachel,
DeleteI hope all goes well with ice and snow when you pick up the children. You have been having a time with this illness. It has been in 70s and i have been trying to become ill...the chest! You and me--washing clothes. Try not to do much more than the bare minimum.
Frigid... frigid enough I did not look at the temp because I knew it was below 10 degrees.Laundry is on drying rack and hanging over the 2 walkers that I sat over heater vents. Meals is eggs or leftovers. Did the taxes yesterday so that headache is over with.Did the finances and finished paying off the bills for the rest of the month. Hubby is covering for a guy that hauls for his living that totaled his truck yesterday. His brake went out on the fully loaded trailer he was hauling. He wasn't hurt but he is not out of a truck but of his income.
ReplyDeleteChef,
DeleteOf course, it was not frigid but just felt like it...lol. I am going to get my walker with no wheels from the car to use as a drying rack, maybe to hang hangers on. I need an egg! Well, that mishap was good for your husband. Thanks for responding.
