jet lag is a drag

Philip and I arrived home after a 28 hour trip. Philip seems fine. He got up early Tuesday morning and went right to school. I, on the other hand am so tired I feel sick. Jessica is home with a very bad cold. I think I am not only fighting jet lag, I'm getting Jessica's head cold. And my back also hurts from the very long flight. I'm feeling my advanced age. Yesterday I did manage to pull the Christmas stuff out of the attic and begin to decorate. Germany is expecting a very large winter storm today. But the very bad weather is going to be in the North, and we live in the South. We are supposed to get snow on the weekend. I like to watch snow fall, but I hate the cold. I wish I had a fireplace I could sit next to, or a bath tub I could soak in. I have those two things on my wish list...and one day I may have a bath tub and a fire place. I'm actually glad I don't have everything...what is life without dreams yet to come true?

Thank you for the time together. And, for the ticket to PHX. It will be an important trip. Your prayers are appreciated. I love you and hope you recover soon.

chicken coop idea

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
