Chickens lay eggs; Ann gets high

We got two eggs yesterday! We are so excited. Butter Bean will not begin laying to at least November, if not later. The Black Beans, Big and Little, must feel at home here, as we did not expect eggs within a week of moving them around. They did not attempt to sit on them, so we took them. Oh Pam, Butter Bean seems to have a head full of black feathers. She is getting braver, and yesterday she was running around with a piece of tomato in her mouth. No one was going to take it.

Now for Ann. Poor Ann had to go for an MRI on her shoulder. We were not aware that included injection of dye into her actual shoulder before being shoved into that tube. I was in the waiting room, and a nurse came out to tell me Ann had had a bit of claustrophobia problem.  Who wouldn’t.  If any of you remember, I had to have a head MRI in the fall, and I only lasted 3 1/2 seconds before I made them take me out. Since Ann had already gone through the pain of the dye injections, they thought they would give her a tranquilizer.  Seems she first had to be interviewed to see if she was a substance abuser. When they felt comfortable that she was not, they made sure I was doing the driving home, and they gave her Xanax.  Well, when they brought her out, she had this silly grin on her faces and she announced, “I’m hungry.”  I brought her home and she passed out in the chair for three hours. Today her shoulder is in pain, and she had to stay home from work.
