Random Stuff from the last 2 days

*   Shortly after I got home Monday night my sister called and told me my daughter was in the hospital.  She was experience a vision loss (kind of like the opposite of tunnel vision).  They sent her to an eye specialist and he admitted her to the hospital.  Fluid was pressing against her optic nerve I think.  She had an MRI and a spinal tap and God knows what other tests.  She stayed overnight.  They decided it was a pseudo tumor (whatever that is) and gave her some medicine to reduce the pressure and told her to continue to lose weight (she's been on weight watchers and has already lost 30 pounds).  She has an appointment in a month for a recheck.  Needless to say I'm super relieved she is okay.  I'm also grateful she's still in Hawaii where the state sponsers medical care for young people who are un-insured.  Here we'd probably be looking at thousands of dollars in medical bills. 

*  Chickens are now scaring me with their flight abilities :-)
I found homes for the "extras" by the way.  A friend of one of the members of the Petchicken forums here on Livejournal and a member of the Yahoo groups pet chicken forum.  Yay!


*  Idol last night was very awesome.  Everyone did well.  Standouts for me was Brooke who sand "Every Breath You Take" and David Cook who did a rock version of "Billie Jean" which you had to see to fully appreciate.  He's my new favorite.  

*  I'm sorry - but the new  "I'll stop the world and melt with you"..... Taco Bell commercial totally grosses me out.  It reminds me of snot every time I see it.

*  I've temporarily replaced my Frunches with Fockets (Frozen Pockets) :-)  I can't stop making them.

I am glad your daughter is is going to be fine.

Where are you keeping your chickens at the moment?

Thank you - I'm really relieved. She still has vision problems, but the medication seems to be helping it.

They are in a bedroom. It's crowded now, but once I'm down to 8 or 9 it won't be so bad. They need to stay inside until they are 8 weeks old (or so they say) - if the nights get to a steady 70F before then I will put them in their coop outside.

I hope she recovers 100% soon.

The bedroom! Ha ha! I can see you waking up with chickens all over you and the bed once they all start learning to escape their little area.
