January 5, 2013: Happy Damn New Year!

Well hell, been sick for 6 days with a flu bug so my New Years Eve Party plans with Cal, friends and family up at the cabin went down the tubes.   Haven't felt like writing much, just laying in bed.

Meanwhile the girls are missing us as we haven't been out to play with them much beyond freeing them from the coop, throwing out some scratch twice a day and hurriedly passing out raisins to the demanding little girls.

I think they've had it.  They have taken to doing their dust baths right outside the bedroom slider peering in frequently as if to say " hey you!  Remember us?".  The today Mabel actually came to the window and hopped up on the table outside, looked at me, stretched out her little neck and said BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, in a loud tone.  I think that's chicken speak for WTH?

Hopefully after our visit to the MD this morning we are on the mend, fully loaded with mega-antibiotics and cough syrup.  Yes, Cal and I are both sick at the same time.  Odd situation.  We both look like death warmed over, and lay next to each other, just occasionally touching hands, and asking" are you still alive?    

I know the girls want to come in and help, but ah..... NO.  Hold on feathered babies, Mommy and Daddy will be back to relative normalcy soon.  Meanwhile Annie our Dog is in heaven.  She gets to lie on the bed with us all day getting frequent pets and trying to nurse us back to health with her soulful looks.

Happy 2013.
