Up at 4am...couldn't get back to sleep, so having my coffee. Worked all day, rode tractor after, until dusk, did chores, got hot shower and feel into bed about 9:30. Slept well.
Got my pkg from FedEx yesterday...shocked and happy! Between their losing first shipment, 2nd one out, etc, it's been almost 3 wks for delivery. Glad that's over. I'm not good at waiting and you'd think I would be after years of breeding livestock and waiting for births! Nope. Not with shelf ready. Probably why I order very little beyond restock products. I like touch, buy, load it.
Anyway it's a long wait for daylight this morning!!
Plus it's chilly in here! Only 65 and that's cold to me. Guess I need to turn that little heater on to fix the chill. It's just the morning thing...47 outside. Been using my mattress heater on low last two nights. Nice and cozy.

I was awake at 4 AM too. What is wrong with us? 
We should be sleeping! I have finished my coffee. Got a Dr appointment this morning for lab work, then back next week for results and check up. I've only been to a Dr twice in the past 10 years, time to check me out. Get knees x-rayed and see if anything is going on with the rest of me.
I have 5 old gel batteries in the truck, Auto Zone will give me a $10 in store credit for them. No salvage yard wanted them, because they only want the lead-acid type. At least I don't have to pay to get rid of them. I'll give the credit to Robert, he helps me so much. Then to Goodwill to drop off a bunch of stuff that is in my way. Then I'll have space to drag out MORE stuff and keep, burn or get rid of.
Then on to the used book store, to see if they will give me anything for some books or just take them off my hands. Turn around, go to Home Depot for paint and supplies. Go to Sam's Club to buy a full and twin sized mattress, then home and unload. Next week I'll go to the "new" house , paint bedrooms, set up full bunkbed in one bedroom and twin in another. Spend 2 days painting, then come home.
At 4:20 I have a vet appointment to put Paris, my 13 year old Great Pyrenees, down. She is down in her back end, I can't watch her flop around, trying to get up and drag herself around. She was doing ok, not good, but ok, and she just went downhill. It's time. It will be very hard, BJ was her favorite, she loved him above all else. Paris hasn't understood why her Daddy no longer feeds and cares for her. BJ passed away 1 month ago today. Today Paris will join him and be buried in the woods next to Joe, my heart horse. Too much damned sadness and grief around here.

I’m so sorry Dana. It’s the hardest thing in the world. It’s the right thing though.

Today!
We are awake, we will go back to bed. Gigi left at 6:00. She’s back at 5;00. Probably a bath today so that dad gets more time with the cows. Then back to sleep for a bit. Then go give instructions to mom on the nursery while a sit on the rocking chair.

@Baymule I'm so very very sorry.
New internet wasn't working this morning, called tech services. Talked to a local person... no luck so she put on a list to have someone else call.... IDK it's working now. Hoping it keeps it up. DH pointed out to me that we do have another phone jack...so all is well with that.
Need to touch up some bunny tattoos, make a science test, do school then 7! bunnies to transporter.

Oh Bay, I am SO SO SO sorry! She definitely had a good long life and is beyond the "average expected" but that doesn't make it any easier.

@promiseacres You homeschool? Can you help me out? How do you fill the day with learning? Do you use any online resources?

Aren't you jumping the gun just a bit Cecilia?

Yes. I most definitely am. But alas I am a worrier and I would like to see what others do.
