The Start of Spring Gardening
"Pasture"
I fertilized the south 1/3 of the pastures with Nature's Guide Natural Turf Food. I've never heard of this brand before, but it has poultry manure (pasturized), hummus, molasses, myrrohizol (??) fungus, and something else. It's a fast and slow acting, so it will help give a little jump start on that grass. From here on out, I hope to use ( Read more... ) -
Coop update
I've been feeling better and I've gotten back on the wagon of gettin' stuff done!
I worked on the coop/garden shed this weekend. It's a (partially-rotting) plywood shed with a brick floor. I allocated a 2x6 section of the back for chickens, and the rest will be garden supplies.

Something's working, and a belated Friday Faves
Something must be working - I've been able to wake up before the alarm goes off, and I co-worker mentioned that I'm looking better, particularly my skin. This makes me feel better - I thought I was just aging rapidly, but perhaps it was due to the thyroid.
So my belated Friday Favorites have to due with pampering:- Honey used as a mask - how on earth ( Read more... )

Poor Pookey, such an unflattering picture! -
More test results back...
And the verdict is in.

I start taking Synthroid tomorrow. It's supposed to snow tomorrow. -

I can't wait for next season to start! -
My tests results came back from the doctor - hypothyroidism?
Good news is: most tests came out good, including iron, which is at a VERY healthy level. Yeah!
Bad news: My thyroid (TSH) was high at 7.09. My T4 (free) was 1.0. I'm not sure what these mean (other than probably hypothyroidism) but I have an appointment on Feb. 1 with an endocrinologist. I do have other symptoms (low body temp, cold intolerance ( Read more... ) -
