This too will pass

I took Philip, Sarah, Thomas and Jessica to see the Dr today. Jessica was pretty stressed out. The other 3 were actually very good! But I'm still pretty sick. It's very cold outside. We had freezing rain today. I need to be careful. I keep pushing the tea. It seems like I'm getting better, then I have to go out in the cold again. I took the kids to the Dr, Nicole to the train station, Sarah to her karate class, then picked them all up again. In and out from the warm house to the cold. It's killing me! And sadly, Juergen isn't much help. He has the heaviest work load I've seen him have in years. He is working way to hard! I’m sure I’ll recover just in time to take care of him. He seems to be getting sick too. I really hope he can slow down a little. I’m grateful he has a job…but I don’t want it to kill him!

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
