  2. ood afternoon! Or not so good after all. Fitbit tells me I slept enough and well. But I neglected to take my bedtime meds last night and I feel very weak today. I used up way too much energy yesterday- before going to the hair stylist, I ran around the house and up and down looking for my purse. The hair stylist had opened a hair salon in this reclaimed factory area wh8ch has been turned into restaurants, stores, office space and gathering areas where musicians play atc5imes. But it is still having some construction and while I had been there lots of times, I had no idea where the shop was and found out the map 8nstalle by the parking lot was wrong. I got there finally after running. Done breakfast and lunch and meds got a phone call from rheumatologist's office that Accredo wants my pharmacy card info, except I don't have one since we are a retired military family and our ,military ID IS my only card both medical and pharmaceutical stuff. After stupid conversation w first person, I asked for supervisor and she was great Home aides came and did more cleaning Nurse came and took my INR and helped w medicine boxes To do get dh to move various items in kitchen so I can use while dh 8s gone.

  5. Just read the ad to my dh. He says it sounds like a perfect ad - for a slave. And that would include behavior more common to street walkers than office assistants.
  6. What a cutie! I wish I didn't develop an allergy to cats about 5 years ago. Glad you are enjoying him.
  7. Good morning! We're having a really nice day here too! The storms passed around us and all of our children. Found out last night that dh Still didn't get his visa. He was up early this morning and it still hadn't Been issued. So now he's been on the phone to having to change his reservations, Plus I told him to call the consulate.And get them involved after all, he is going there on a joint government program w them and meeting w their government officials. I really dislike that he won't have a rest day probably and just have a relatively shor5 flight from h3re to Dallas, 9 hour layover, 17 hour flight to Sydney, and then another flight to Adelaide. At least he sleeps on planes and chairs. TO DO make apps Try to finish charity donation tax stuff PT evaluation Some organizing and cleaning Laundry Get dh to move various kitchen items into my reach Do my OT exercises 3 x 3 Really unsure of a lot of what I will be doing today. Our breakfast is already quite delayed though I are a Reese's egg and a leftover Polish kotlet (a sort of burger- like item but ground meat mixed w egg, bread crumbs, dried minced onion, parsley, etc and fried. They are also very tasty cold, too)

  10. Praying! And yes, adult children and mental health issues area really hard combo.
  11. Let's put it this way- many large scale Russian weapons are overhyped and that was true in the Cold War era and is true today. But they are very good w poisons and I am not sure what type of weapon they used but something weird is going on.
  12. Specifically, old cats not eating go into rapid kidney failure and that is apparently a very painful death for humans so also for cats, I believe. We have had to put down a few. Our second to last one was because he stopped eating after already being old and rather frail at that point. He was a 16 year.Siamese
  13. Happy Easter! Yesterday I did a lot and that included a nurse visit doing intake who us a homeschooling mom and was looking into buying a certain WTM book and also asked about Clasical Conversation. She has at least 3 she's h9meschooling including a high schooler. I showed her the WTM website and the all the forums cause she was asking me about some curriculum I didn't know about. I also told her that CC was way to rigid for me and not right at all for my youngest who was the only one the right age to possibly do it. done boiled 4 more eggs since 4 cracked veteran found out that we are moving Easter celebration to ds's house since both oldest and youngest were repairing their cars yesterday together and while changing brakes pads on ds's van, a bolt broke and they are still trying to fix today. Filled plastic eggs for grandson's Easter egg hunt To do gget all medications and supplies together for going Get rest of candy for adults and gkids not there Get changed into nice dress Help dh pack up Maybe take a nap??!?
  14. No. Because I have never eaten a taco because I hate hot spiciness and whst orhers consider mildly hot is still way to hot for me. OTOH. gyros are completely efible for me as a person whose body rebels against hot foot always and too acidy good a lot of times.

  17. Even more than 2O. I think I may have found out about the board Vegsource . I had already stopped using Sonlight. I think I joined in 1999 but when did the board start? Ì know i was also on AOL board before WTM. That is where I met a group of life long friends too - a small group of military wives ebo homeschooled then. Ws migrate later to Facebook bur I am not sure how that group went from AOL to Facebook since I know I stopped using AOL as my internet provider - ic that was whar jt was by the 1999. I met almost all of that group and one lives in my metro area and her dh worked in the same agency as mine, after he retired from Army.. He is about to retire earlier than the 67 designated age w SS now. Plus I think you still need 20 years for federal civil service retirement too and he hasn't been in that so long.
  18. @ScoutTN It is a very sad anniversary., Hugs to you I didn't even know it was your school and church @TheReader I'm glad that you enjoyed the tournament. Hope your husband has recovered from the achy Muscles. Congrats to him Still to do Lots of Instacart shopping- home aide cleaners/organizers coming tomorrow and I supply all the cleaning and organizing stuff I also have to have a plan, call Verizon and get dh international plan Cancelations see if I can set up Medical alert system., Who kn0ws?
  19. I just chose Bayside Medical after hearing w/ dh"s concerns were and reading reviews in Consumer Reports.
  20. Dh wanted to watch coverage of this but as I was busy w other urgent matters. I only heard in passing that the ship apparently had an issue also in Antwerp. Belgium but don't know how recently.
  21. I do not have discalculia and am better at doing calculations in my head if I am not foggy than my dh, who is a PhD in physics, However, all my life, I have had problems w lett and right and also lesser and greater. I had zero problems understanding the concept of lesser and greater but I have an extremely low memory for directionality of random stuff, I also have difficulty w sewing patterns and blueprints but what is weird is that I have a superior sense of how to get places and I remember the way from childhood places on. I also don't have any problems reading maps. One of my dd"s, who is dyslexic, did have much bigger problems w/ innate learning how to drive to places at first. With age, she has improved a lot. But her husband, doesn’t remember anything about which direction to turn from our neighborhood for what and he has been here lots of times in the last five years or so, She has a computer science major but found that her great skill in the field is being a tester, not a programmer.
  22. I am very sorry, Tap. I know this weekend will be very hard for you, And loss of a pet and a daughter' at the same time is especially hard. I will be praying for you and please take good care of yourself.
  23. Most people here don't seem to know about weather/climate of the different parts of the US
