Well, what a fun month it has been for us. I left the house today for the first time in 17 days. My wife and I were both slammed by a bug within 24 hours of each other and haven't been able to do anything since. We have the text book description of acute bronchitis. Nothing to do but treat the symptoms as best we can and wait it out. We finally seemed to turn a corner this week and are now making a slow recovery. My head has finally cleared enough to type out an almost coherent paragraph here again.
A side from a couple trips to the wood pile, neither of us have been out for over two weeks. We are some of those crazy prepper types so we don't need to go anywhere. lol Actually it's just the way we live, and always have. Very self sufficient and prepared for what ever comes along. I was a "prepper" 2 decades before the phrase was coined. We could go all winter without really needing anything.
Well, almost. I ran out of feed for my deer. For about the last 15 years, when ever there is snow on the ground there is a feed pan under a big fir tree out front filled with grain and sweet mix for the deer. Generations of deer have grown up around here knowing they can always come here in winter for a meal. I am on a first name basis with many of them, especially many of the does and fawns. They stood out there last night looking at the house with a wtf, no food?, look on their faces. 3 does with 6 hungry fawns was too much for me to take. Gawd, I'm getting soft in my old age. lol So this afternoon I broke quarantine and made the journey to the local feed store for grain. My 3 pet does, Jane, Cookie and Doesy, and their 6 fawns are all out there now. Along with 3 bucks. All is well again.
