Good morning!  It's supposed to go up to the mid 70s today!  Woot!  And our basement is finally finished being repair (except for some of the carpet but that won't happen for another week or so)

 

I woke up at 4 with a migraine and have been up ever since, but a couple of cups of coffee seems to have done the trick.

 

To do:

Mass

tidy up

take ds to class and back again

nap!!!!

dd to voice lesson?  She woke up yesterday with a sore throat.  So I don't know about that.

Prep for Latin study session tomorrow

Walk somewhere

Dinner - spaghetti

dd to rehearsal?

Go to new scripture study tonight

Good morning!  Another beautiful day in FL - we are going to hit 90 but there is no humidity.  Absolutely gorgeous.  DH has a phone interview for a new job, my cleaning people cancelled today, my youngest has co-op and I'm going to just drop him off and come home and enjoy the sun and a few hours of solitude.

 

-coffee

-DS16 off to school

-take DS13 to co-op

-go to library to pick up books for DS13's paper

-enjoy this beautiful day

-work out (30 minutes HiiT cardio, 30 minutes "push" upper body workout)

-laundrdy DONE:  0

-have DH pick up DS from co-op

-make sure DS13 is working on his WTMA writing assignment

-dinner (something involving chicken and/or shrimp)

Good morning!

 

Everything is covered in a layer of ice here this morning. The padlock on our horse gate was frozen shut and I was too lazy to run back to the house for the torch we use to thaw it, so I decided to just chuck the hay over the gate and then climb over. Probably not the best decision because the gate was icy and I'm a klutz, but managed to climb over and back several times unscathed. :tongue_smilie:

Lots of little things about the house and desk today.

 

Yesterday, we *finally* made it to Goodwill. So, while we were in the car, I told dd that I'd cleared out lots of old books -- Magic Schoolbus, Magic Treehouse, Junie B. Jones....

 

Dd: Oooh, she's so cute!

Me: Would you like to read them again before we give them away?

Dd: Yes, and I might like to save them for my children, if I have any.

 

Enabler (me) and clone. Junie is back in our house, about 24 books worth.

 

Last week, when I decluttered, I threw away a lot of slightly bent poster board. Now I need a bit of old poster board to tape to wall in order to help with framed picture placement. Ugh, I am so completely incompetent with decluttering!

 

Warm weather here, 60's, feel bad for those who are ice covered.

 

Dinner -- fish, healthy, whatever looks best at the market.

Good morning! Dh did the morning practice, so I got a little extra sleep. It was nice, because I ended the day stressed and upset. The insurance stuff is dragging out, there is more damage to my car than originally estimated and it is going to be ANOTHER two weeks at least (putting me at a month with a rental that may or may not be paid for). Also college stuff that I still have to figure out. I do not do well with extended conflict-unlike dh who is completely chill about everything. Reason 132 why I am not a lawyer.

 

And we find out today if dd1 needs surgery on her knee. Unbeknownst to us, but completely known to her coaches and trainers, dd1 has been injured since the beginning of January. Not super thrilled with any of them. She had a MRI yesterday and will talk to the doctor today.

 

And it is freezing out-single digits. 

 

To do:

Make three annoying phone calls

have some more coffee

school with ds3

school with ds2 (also start looking at scholarship essay)

daily chores

laundry

pick up dd2 and work with her

grocery store

surely more annoying things later

pick up dd2/club practice/aikido

dinner-ds3 is making

 

Have a great day!

Good morning.  Let me just say that early morning gardening in a fuzzy robe over a t-shirt but no pants, with frost on the ground is very. . .  invigorating.  (This is done while Juliet is pottying.  Or while waiting for her to potty so that we don't go back inside to have her immediately squat on the carpet.) 

 

Human care is done.  Despite a small puppy who is sure that when that shower curtain is drawn, I've gone forever never to appear again. . .

 

Pet care is done. 

 

 

Medical care is done.

LOL at the enabler and clone! :laugh:

 

I'm a pretty ruthless declutterer, but I couldn't bear to part with our favorite children's books. There's a big storage bin of them down in the basement. So many happy memories!

Oh Jen, that stinks.  I hope your daughter has a speedy recovery (or better yet, nothing wrong with her knee in the first place).

Heard from dd1: nothing looks torn, so a script for a heavy duty anti-inflammatory and rest for two weeks and they will see. Her season is done now (she swam very, very well, so as she said-"now no one will comment on doctor ordered rest" Division 1 at its finest.

 

So at least no surgery and she will get an extra week of rest when she comes home for break.

I'm not getting quite enough sleep at night because of Juliet.  (And I'm dreading the time change.)  So I feel tired and fuzzy headed.

Kitchen - handwashing and wipe down counters

 

laundry - folded and put away another load of laundry

 

paperwork - worked on med. bills
