We were planning to get going on the stovepipe yesterday. How many times have I said that now? Every time, something happens, and we get delayed again.

This time, I disintegrated rather quickly into whimpering illness. Headache, bone aches, alternating between hot and cold, sensitive skin. Basically, a whole barrel of fun monkeys. I went to bed immediately after lunch and stayed there until 730 this morning.

I’m not 100% yet. My headache is down from screaming-death-metal to exuberant doo-wop, and my hips only ache and no longer feel like they are being wrenched from the sockets. My whole body feels bruised, though. I dont know what sort of bug this is, but it isnt super fun. Good thing I have grapefruit and oranges here. Hit the Vit C. Also hitting the colloidal silver, fire cider and adaptogens.

Husband already did the barn chores for me before he left for work, so today is a restful-ish day. Just feeding kiddos and keeping them from setting anything on fire. I can do that.

Tomorrow, shopping again. Chimneypipe pieces, wood pellets and shavings for the toilet, groceries. I’m rather glad that the driveway is mostly useable now.
