Bad Week

It has snowed and got to be -25 a couple of days. Lost the rooster and a hen in the cold weather even with the space heater on in the chicken house. The water frozed up and last night the main water line broke in the trailer and flood my bathroom. So no water till tonight. Went to Cheyenne today to get some pipes and fittings. Got home 5-10 minutes before the bus got there with Jeff. Jeff comes in and says that he messed up his hand at school. So I take a look and it is swollen and a little bruised. So back to Cheyenne and spent 3 hours at the doctors office. To find out that he sprained it. Which is a good thing. Then come to find out the insurance won't pay for the splint. So ok it is for my son. Then the insurance only cover 75% of the bill. Instead of 90% but at least they covered some. Just when I got all the medical bills payed off. So thats just some of the stuff that has happened. Yes I know I am ranting and sorry, but just had to get it out of my system.

Thanks for listening.

Sorry to hear that Michelle. Having bad things happen is never fun and they usually come in bunches. Hope you can stay warm and get things turned around.

That is so true with that statement. Where I live it takes 45 minutes to go to Wheatland or Cheyenne. I am right in the middle. I live just 8 tenths of a mile in Laramie County. So it is easier to go to cheyenne, has better stores and doctors.

Man Michelle, I'll never complain about anything after reading all that.
We don't see anything like -25 or even close for that matter in Merryland
Glad though evrything is coming around.
