Nothing messes up my morning, like a "driveway creeper" pulling in and parking in the pitch dark of the morning. Ugh. Right after I fed Jesse (dog) too. He needed to go out and I could not until they left - flat tire of all things. Hubby pulled out to leave for work, checked out the situation, then called me. It was so dark I could only see car lights and a small light be-bopping around (guy had a headlamp on). However, this is why I am prepared for uninvited "creepers." You never know how friendly they are and if they really do have a flat.
It was a beautiful day to be working in the flower beds, but I had another big job.
It's a nasty spring job, but it had to be done. However, I was bam-booz-eld again. Hubby said he'd help me finish the coop after work. He did not. He went to look at another car. I ended up cleaning the entire coop myself (oh so tired when I was done).
We didn't get a chance to do a real coop cleaning all winter. Boy was it bad. I had to take a break after 6 full wheelbarrows of poo and straw was removed. We had to layer straw most of the winter.
I noticed they broke their heat lamp bulb, which has been off for a long time, but still. Ugh. Every year they break it. I was hoping to use it for the youngin's soon, but I'll need to buy a new bulb.
See that araucana? She is my last one left and sort of a bossy pants. Every time I'm in the coop, she is sassing and chasing another hen. She acts like she's the rooster in the coop, ha ha!
It's getting warmer out, but not warm enough to put the new chicks outside. I dug out the old dog cage so the rain could wash it off in preparation to give he chicks a day in the sun, and hopefully soon. They are growing out of their tote they are in.
As for the car Hubby planned on buying? Well, at the time of paper work, the guy tried to slap on a $300 title service fee. Hubby stood up, grabbed his check, and said "no thanks, you are ripping me off" and walked out. The business where he bought the truck didn't do that, nor where we bought our car, and some smaller privately run places try to slap that extra charge on. That's okay, it means Hubby will find a better deal somewhere else.

Sure does pay to be aware of some of the (illegal?) things different outfits will try to get away with these days. I sometimes wonder if honesty (for a lot of people) is not longer in their makeup. Grrr. :o(
Good think your husband knew that was a bad deal! See, I wouldn't have known that.
