Good morning! Amy, that's great news about your dad!
Dh and I are all settled in, looking forward to some downtime. We may play some golf later today. Our only to do is pick up some groceries for dinners. I may go check out the local library, see if I can check out some books. I brought a stack with me but still love to see what's out.

We've stopped for the evening, relaxing a bit before going to dinner. Everything is so green. Sensory overload.

Good morning!
Amy, so sorry about your dad. Praying for a mild case...
Dh and l are on the road. My mom insisted we go somewhere, feels she's being well taken care of. Her care team told us the same thing. We guiltily accepted. I have roughly four weeks before meetings, etc. start for the new year.
Not much on the to do list except drive today, stop for late lunch/early dinner before we reach our stop for the night.

Well, I was definitely in a purging state of mind. We dropped off a lot of stuff at Goodwill! I was going to donate all of our used curriculum to library, but now second-guessing whether or not to post it on the curriculum board. Sometimes it's easier to be done with it but some extra cash would be nice. I just remember being thankful at finding some treasures at the library bookstore that were mentioned in the Well Trained Mind.
I'm off to visit my mom, make sure transfer goes smoothly.

@readinmom, I record them in a Zoom meeting by myself. By doing Zoom I can share my screen or the whiteboard easily. I use my laptop and do it in our bathroom at the vanity seat. I have great light in there, and the sound does well. I record it to my computer instead of the cloud. Then I upload to YouTube as unlisted. The only people who can view it are the people that I give the link. I place that link on a Google doc that has a link to homework pages as well. Would you like me to send you a link to one of them?
Yes, please! I would appreciate that. I wondered about posting link to YouTube, good to know only certain people would have access.

Good morning!
Math Teacher, Congrats! What a great feeling... SKL, I hope you feel better soon. Amy, curious about what you use to record your video lessons?
We are waiting on word about mom...they are going to transfer her to a skilled nursing facility to monitor IV antibiotics for an extended time. Apparently this bacterial infection is quite involved considering her age, etc. She has to be monitored 24/7 in case of reactions. She is able to go back to the same place she was at after her surgery in November, so the staff knows her, has already called us to discuss her care.
Done so far:
coffee, breakfast shake, kitchen clean up
To do:
mail boxes off to siblings, make more space in garage
banking
Costco for basics
workout, weights
work on reading journal, finish last bit of current book
waiting on visiting information for mom so we can take clothes, snacks, etc.
not sure about dinner, probably grill something, salad
Have a great day!

Holy cow! What region are you in? I was shocked when all the stations surpassed $5 the other day in Northeast PA.
Southern California...we have a lovely gas tax, as well.

Maybe not think the best of her...sorry if that offended you.
And previous poster is right...none of us will ever know what you are going through.

Costco today: $9 for a bag of salad. We noticed a huge increase in what we normally buy, so we definitely held off.
Gas here yesterday: 6.99 unleaded, diesel was more. It normally costs dh 85 dollars to fill his tank. $200 now.

A lot of sound advice from previous posters...
I have to put this out there. A hint, just a hint of impropriety by your son (sil comments) can and will alter his life as he knows it. Your job is to protect him, no matter what the cost. You can brush off her earlier comments about your son, but it's out there. Because she is so difficult to deal with, she now has a weapon at her disposal. Don't think for a moment that she won't use this again.
Please document every interaction, time, dates, conversations/actions for the protection of your family. I have seen some really bad outcomes of this type of situation. You also need to let your lawyer know about this, because it will go a long way in a potential custody battle. If, for some godforsaken reason he might win partial custody, there can be parameters put in place to have a no contact order with sil and said family member.
It sounds awful, but you have to stop thinking the best of people in this situation. Big Ugly Drama or not, you need to protect your son.
