How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

Health declined so badly the last week and change I was about 24 hours away from being rushed to the hospital, and then I remembered I had something in my stock. Took some over the counter medicine I forgot I had for lungs. Making a remarkable recovery in less than 5 hours. I'm so happy I don't have to go back to the hospital I can't tell you so pic:

Lungs related: - almost suffocated. No fun.
 
Feeling sad, and really guilty. I had a chicken get eaten today.

So i have some chickens of my own, but we’re also fostering some chickens for a friend. They’re separated by a chicken wire barrier until she can keep them at her house for good. They’ve been in their outside run for a week now and things seemed good. I got home late today and went to feed them dinner before I went to bed. Saw most of my friend’s chickens literally so crammed against the chicken wire they were stuck somehow. And saw one of hers sleeping with my own. Head count showed two of hers missing. I got a flashlight and walked around the property and finally found one of them. It was...picked clean. The other hen is still MIA but I don’t have high hopes. I’m planning on doing another walk of the property when it’s daylight.

I feel really bad to lose a chicken. I’ve lost a couple chicks that were under a week old, but that happens. This one I raised for months. I also feel like shit because it was my friend’s. Plus all the other hens are scared and stressed. I’m pretty sure we found the hole between the wooden fence and chicken wire it got through, and made a makeshift patch. No idea what predator, but something medium sized that can climb. Doesn’t narrow it down much. I also moved the other hens over with mine. That’s all I really can do right now, but now I’m paranoid it’ll happen again. I love those birds, dammit.
 
I'm still failing all my classes, but I at least have one thing looking up in my life. I applied to work with the Conservation Corps over the summer but they ended up rejecting my application, however, they recently emailed me back saying that a position opened up. It's technically volunteer work so I won't be making all that much, but I still will get a stipend and they'll cover my living expenses.
 
Things seem to be going well.

People are loosening up on the mask thing and half the people who come into the store don’t even wear one. My old man, who previously was scared to shit about getting COVID got vaccinated and now goes everywhere without a mask. Can’t be happier for him.

Also been learning to respect myself a bit more when it comes to dating women. If a person on the other side of the relationship isn’t reciprocating or flaking out, you gotta let it go and draw a line.

Still though, this lady I’ve been seeing has become a very good friend of mine, and while I’m trying for something more, I’m not gonna worry too much about how things are going. If things work out, they work out. If they don’t, they don’t. I at least have a good friend.
 
Stressed the fuck out. Moving abroad soon, lots of bureaucratic nonsense to take care of + full time job in aviation + moving apartments. It's not quite at the level of working full time in a physical job + graduate school (that was a 9.5 on the kill me scale;) but it's rotten.

I might be able to take a breath come early June, but it's gonna be non-stop grinding until then.

Don't crash into any buildings.

Not a good feeling finding out someone you thought was a friend essentially just saw you as something to amuse themselves with. Really messes with you trying to figure out why they went to those lengths. If I don’t like someone, I stay polite unless they give me a reason not to but I keep them at arm’s length, I don’t pretend to befriend them and shit talk them behind their back because that’s an incredibly cruel and shitty thing to do
 
Just the usual, went to school at 8am and had to take my 2 cats to the vet by 4pm to get their ID and vaccines sorted, they had to not lick each other for 2 hours as they had their parasite drops, I put one in the toilet because he really likes it there and the other to just sleep in the living room. I fell asleep for 3,5 hours and woke up to door scratches (not the one in the toilet), so I woke up thinking it was him. I let him out even though he seemed pretty comfortable, sharpening his claws on the rug. That was basically my entire day.
