Worked from 7:45-18:15 (busy but decent weekday)
Missed an appointment at 7:00 this morning to check-in via :caf WWW for a research study I enrolled in back when I thought I’d be unemployed all year :gig …now I need to follow up with data collection & figure out how to get back on track...

Then I drove to Boulder County and saw my grumpy hen Chief whose broody spell had been...
I’d fallen behind (~10 pages) on this thread, and screamed aloud today when I saw this post. I’m deeply sorry for the loss of Henry (what a hero!) and proud of the hens for carrying on.
