What's everybody doing today?

[snappy1]

When I went to rehab it was common for it to be one month.

When my DH worked at centers in the 90's, a patient was there until his insurance ran out. Then they were "cured".

Very little sleep last night.
Have to finish DH's inversion table as he didn't want to do it yesterday.
Change marquis at Church to reflect new pastor's name.
Walk dogs.
Visit a friend.

Ended up with 5 rolls of chocolate chip cookie dough to freeze and 2 sheets of cookies baked.

I need to start clearing the road today. I'll try using the big snow blower first. They're calling for only about a foot of snow between today and Friday. But another storm is expected to come in by next Thursday and snow everyday for at least a week, possibly dropping another couple of feet or more. I think I know where the plow is for the tractor. I'll dig it out today too.
The wind is blowing pretty hard this morning so that will mean drifting, which makes it hard find the road in places.

Playing phone tag with bill collectors.
Maybe laundry, maybe not.

Nothing exciting here today (hopefully)! Just going to work, coming home and doing the usual stuff around here!

I'm calling it a Scrambled Eggs Day.

Nothing exciting, no planning, no great delicacy. Just serve 'em up and shovel 'em down. And when at the unemployment office to straighten-out a little snafu.... may I by the grace of God do so with grace, and bite my tongue when necessary.

Boy scrambled eggs have just about become like escargot. Lol Good luck, @OldSchool

Got a mild headache. Couldn't get comfortable last night when trying to sleep. Had 9 cats on my bed this morning.
Was about to take a nap again when the phone rang before 7:30am. I could hear it sounded like it was from a call center and the number was spoofed. Person wouldn't identify themselves. I don't usually do it, but I was cranky and cussed her out before I hung up.

I have so much I need to get done today and so little energy.

I'm back pretty much but still a bit under. Here in spirit but body sucks! Patchouli got that right on the scrambled eggs! Have to be careful buying nowadays and eggs are a luxury. I was getting lettuce by the head from WallyWorld and put a stop to that! Almost $2 and the size of a softball. Buy it by the bag, premixed and cheaper. Hungry but body says try it and see what happens! I'll wait. Getting more stuff for hobby. Soon will be full blown workshop.

I just made some fried eggs for breakfast since I have to go somewhere and cooking late

we currently have 8 cartons in the fridge , had more but sold some
I am already discussing with husband on how much to sell them for at the market. If we go too high, people will just do without, too low and people might wonder if there is something wrong with them ( there is not, old ones get cooked for the dogs or I use in baking stuff) . It's also hard to change prices in the middle of the market year. So....I am inclined to go to $6
Would you pay that for free range farm chicken eggs that are not old?

Playing catch up on studies. My seed potatoes arrived and I've no where to plant them- need a week in the garden and the poly to be recovered.
Took the relations to our new local museum. One is going deaf so he shouted a lot, which was hilarious and cringing in equal measures. On the good side, husband fixed the pump, on the bad side a relation has been taken to hospital with bacteria pneumonia and possibly something else. Lovely sunny day here after frost this morning.
@Mountain trapper any snow photos?

To me it depends on size of the eggs. If they're laying big eggs, I'd go to whatever size XL eggs are selling for at the grocery store and add $1 to the price. If they're laying smaller eggs, like a lot of free range chickens seem to do, then add $1 to what the store is selling regular size eggs for.

Store bought large eggs haven't hit $6 here yet, but they're at $5.49 and climbing...

Yes and no. If I had to go out of my way to drive to your place for one grocery item (eggs) I would be inclined not to. At a market or something, sure.

Thieves in the US state of Pennsylvania have stolen more than 100,000 eggs - worth $40,000 (£32,000) - from a single grocer.
The heist targeted the back of a lorry at Pete & Gerry's Organics in Greencastle on 1 February, police say.
It comes as the price of eggs has risen amid a bird flu epidemic, making them an unexpectedly costly menu option. The national chain Waffle House has just hiked their egg charge.
Prices for eggs have surged more than 65% in the last year, US government data shows. The agriculture department predicted the cost will increase by about 20% in 2025.
On Tuesday, Waffle House announced a $0.50 surcharge for customers to shell out per egg.
The US diner chain called it a "temporary targeted surcharge tied to the unprecedented rise in egg prices".
The bird flu epidemic started in 2022 and has led to outbreaks across the US in recent months, according to the agriculture department.
The agency noted prices increased by more than 8% in December alone.
Data from the department also shows the average price for a carton was $2.51 in December 2023 and hit $4.15 a year later. The surge has seen reports of bare shelves in some stores.
The bird flu epidemic has been reported in birds, cattle and mammals across the US, though infection of humans is very rare.
