Bye bye in Bittersweet

We sold the freeze dryer. It was an impulse buy and we didnt really use it that often. Last thing we did was freeze dry 5 dozen eggs. And we rarely used it. So we were able to pay off a couple things and register my husbands truck.
We need to spend around 300 to build a decent fence to keep the guanines in the yard. The chickens dont wander so much but these guys are starting to bug neighbors.

Im still feeling pretty down. I had a couple days where I felt better but now im back to this ugh exhausted feeling. T thinks im flaring. Its possible. The heat is oppressive too. It was 95 with 30% humidity today and I was just so exhausted. I fell asleep with my laptop on my lap on the couch. Till Co woke me up to take him to a friends.

Thursday was my birthday. I broke a tooth/filling earlier sometime this year and they got me in Thursday morning lol. Joys. When I came back my biller was decorating my desk. Otherwise it was super quiet. Friday we went for a short walk and she bought me a cinnamon twist donut and a wildberry lemonade. Which was really good.
I gained about 3 lbs in the last couple of weeks. Its not coming back off. Ive been getting comfortable with being a bit more heavy then I want to. But gaining more isnt something I want. I have got to cut out soda. Its so hard. I cant even drink much for verity. I have some water and thats about it.... My kid got me some natural green tea “energy drinks” but it had sucralose and i cant do fake sugar either.

Im searching for a new project. I really want to make a wrap and I have the edging pattern but I cant figure out what to do for the body lol. I have this beautiful drapy yarn I want to use. I was using it to make a shawl when my father died and now i dont want to pick it back up....
Anyway some random photos :)

Here are my monster dinosaurs.

Birthday flowers.

Ignore all their poo, but the sparrows are having babies for a second time.

They just hang out half out of the nest with their mouths open. They dont make noises or anything. I thought maybe it was dead till we touched it and it moved around lol.
