BURn Buuurrrnnn

That is my toilet paper burning. Yeah, sometimes i burned it before instead of compost it (it's a good way to start a bon fire)..... but this time i burn it with vengeance, witchery, science, and anger. I burn it to kill. I burn it it to rid the world of just a few more of the parasites which poison water throughout the world.
While I still wait for the test results to come back from the doctor about what exactly has invaded my body via my pond.... but i know what it is, the tests are just some scientific confirmation and a ticket to do more aggressive killing tactics. In the meantime... i burn things. I burn my toilet paper. I burn the junk i shovel out my composting toilet.
I burn with a motivation, an anger specific to an invasion of your body. Battle ground.
Sometimes I have moments of relief, while other times the pain from the parasites is so great that i sit slumped over and cry... i cry so sincerely that my bunnies and chickens and duck come to see what is wrong. The donkey will hee haw.
If a girl cries in the woods, do the trees hear her sounds?
I feel haunted by these parasites, by my own past which i forgot i had left behind until these last 5 weeks...
I refuse to live this way again. And so while i wait, i burn it away.
Piece by piece.
Note To Universe ::: pleasssseeee make this end, ASAP. please.

OKstupid, The Worst of me and them!

Since I have been sick all week and have had to lay down in bed alot.... plus started feeling more moody then I am accustom to - i started a bit of a funny, evil, entertaining useless project for myself.
It doesn't save the planet. It's not nature friendly, but maybe all the research will save me wasted time in future relationships.....
I have been jumping from random profile to random profile on OKcupid.com (the dating site) and picking out lines from men's profiles, and then writing down what i think after reading it. I apologize in advance if you were somehow picked and then somehow found this blog post. It's not personal.... i am just sick in bed and need to giggle.

HERE WE GOOOO:::::::::

Not that I don't have plenty of love and support from friends and family, because I do, but I am in need of the kind of love that comes from finding a person that causes me to have butterflies everytime I look into their eyes. I need someone to share my deepest secrets and desires with. More importantly, I want to be the guy that steals the girl's heart. I want to be th one she cant get out of her head. The one she tells all her girlfriends about.
Unfortunately, so far in life I have yet to run into this person, so I have decided to turn to the vast and infinite internet to help me in my search...to help me find someone that creates those beautiful butterflies."

Sick of being SICK! (Ginger. Lemon. Honey Tea)

I have been sick for an entire week now....
and i am soooooo sick of it. I have no idea what is wrong with me, but the whole thing has gotten so old.
I can still eat, but nausea and running to the toilet seem to be my mornings and nights now. It's so draining. In the span of time i have been sick in my life, a week is really nothing --- but since i have missed half my life due to illness, i would say i have less patience then i once kept stored up. This is driving me bonkers and kinda freaking me out. (Flashbackksss).

A few things could have happened :::

1. I went out to a party and to wrestling and may have caught something creepy from the other humans. Everyone knows rednecks carry germs. My friends do too.
Although, i have no fever, no aches, no symptoms of having caught anything at all.
2. I jumped in my pond with my duck and swam around in the mud. parasites?
3. Celiac Sprue...... i blame most everything on this silly disease i have. Mainly cause it causes everything digestively wrong and is so easy to accidentally get something in my mouth to trigger it...
4. I am preggers for the christ child, and he thinks me having diarrhea is a character building sacrifice. Alternately... some other dude's baby.
5. the new strain of E. Coli really is in the USA?

SO, i made some of this fancy tea...
my famous Ginger Lemon Honey Tea.... except i added strawberries this time.
All you do is bring it all to a boil and let it sit (then add honey).
The thing is, this gets rid of illnesses that are contagious (flus and colds and sore throats).... it might even fuck up a parasite or two, cause ginger is powerful like that. But i know, it will do nothing for my celiac sprue or the second coming of christ and i dont know about E.Coli.

Injured Or Sick Crow

Today when i went to take JuJu the donkey for a walk, we came upon a big crow laying on the ground. At first I thought it was dead, i thought the movement in it's body was orchestrated by a million maggots and bugs eating it's insides... till I realized it's eye was actually blinking at me. I bent down and immediately touched it, so the black crow flapped it's good wing and favored the bad one that appeared to have scrapes on it.
I don't know much about crows, but after nursing two sick chickens this winter until their death it seemed the end for the crow was near. Pointing it's head into the air, something called "star gazing"... a creepy spiritual sort of movement they do when life is leaving their body. I still took it to my spring water to see if it had interest in drinking, and it did. That gave me a glimmer of hopeless hope.

I put the crow on some leaves in a box where it could be peaceful and safe, I started feeding it with a dropper- water and mushed up food, rice milk... anything it seemed to like.

It knew when i was going to feed it, and opened it's mouth like a baby in a nest.

Eventually it's one eye that wouldnt open, opened wide and it became very alert, less lethargic. But still the head turned around, pointing to the sky continued.....

My cat toots was curious about who was the latest patient in the blue box...

JuJu the donkey was more jealous the curious... she tried knocking the box over, stepped on my camera and also tried stealing the mushed up food for the crow.

Then once I spent far too long helping the crow, JuJu of course ran away!

The beautiful crow is still blinking it's eye at me, still breathing... but I expect not for long.

RIP Beep Beep, I Tried.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

my chicken Beep Beep died yesterday in my arms.
I am doing better today, although still really upset ---- i have to foreWARN that the video below is a little bit disturbing, there is a dead chicken, crying , yelling, and grief. It's been a really hard winter for me and I feel that the isolation from other humans has made it even harder. (Which is why i am talking outloud to a video camera everyday, to help keep me sane.) The loss of my animals though, on any level, any animal, any season always makes me extremely upset. Especially when they have to suffer and be sick. I have suffered and been ill, laying on my death bed with celiac sprue before so I know the fear, pain, and peace that comes with the fading of the body.
Beep Beep had something called "sour crop" which I was not able to diagnose till it was too late.

If your chicken is sick and has a bulging chest, lethargic, watery poop, droopy wings, heavy breathing and bad putrid breath they may have sour crop - and can be saved if it is caught early enough! Beep Beep's blockage (which is located below the neck on their chest) was really swollen and huge (felt like a soft rubber stress ball consistency), I tried giving her olive oil with with a dropper, then massaged the swollen crop over and over. She did pass a small amount of it on her own but it was just too much. The advice to hold her on her back and induce vomiting didn't work for Beep Beep at all, nothing came out.
Please read more HERE about this if you suspect your beloved chick might have it.

Beep Beep the chicken is SICK :(

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

my donkey riding, shoulder sittin' spunky fun smart wonderful chicken Beep Beep is really sick.
3 days ago i found her suddenly acting lethargic and the other hens had pecked her till she was bleeding out her ear. I rushed her inside the cabin and cried for an hour.
...
I have given her apple cider vinegar, ginger and usnea in her water... but i am not sure she is going to make it. It's been a chicken roller coaster this winter, but this chicken... is... my baby. She was a chick when i first got her, and JuJu had nailed her with her hooves and almost killed her. Beep Beep eventually learned to be great friends with the donkey and rides her back everyday. I really dont know what to say - I look forward to spring time when life is something full of hope and ease.

Ms. Buttersworth (the chicken) Moves In (temporarily)

The last few days Ms. Buttersworth the chicken has seemed to be gettin' senile. She had been a little clucky and weird a few weeks before that, I thought maybe she was going through a possible nesting phase... but then she just seemed cold, confused, and I got that nursing home vibe. The last rung on the sanity ladder. Her lil' red comb on her head turned half black and patchy, flopped over a bit. When I would pick her up she seemed to be shivering, and was hiding in the corner of JuJu the donkey's hay pile.
So now Ms. Buttersworth is in the warmth of the Luck Cabin, her own private box with food & water... and a cat 'nurse' to watch over her. Toots the cat has been making BiG EyEs since I let Ms. ButterCrazy inside.
She eats and drinks. She just doesn't roost, or hang out with her friends, or seem to know where she is going...
is this chicken old age?
