I always keep a full tank of gas in the car. My grandma was huge on that and after running out of gas on the way home with my mom as a kid I just can't handle a non full tank. Until a few years ago my car was the only one that could fit all the family in and I was always worried if for some reason I needed to drive far away for an emergency or something I just needed to keep a full tank.
Doing crockpot meals during the week. During the school year our schedule is so insane and dumb that we are eating meals at all different times. Having a meal that everyone can just eat from when they need to is so much easier and works better for our life.

@ScoutTN Sending prayers about the job. How stressful, I am sorry. I hope that that you get clear information soon.
@history-fan I have been thinking about your cousin's sister. I am so sorry about the news. I am sending prayers to her.

@mom31257 Love the picture. I am glad the trip is going well.
@history-fan I am so sorry to hear about your storm damage. I am glad you guys are ok though. I hope you get power back soon. We have had so many storms and tornadoes this year. Scary.
@LifeLovePassion I am glad your SIL's surgery went well. She is lucky to have you and your teens.

This is taking forever and I’m totally exhausted but I still need to thank my Hivers for pushing me to go. I am waiting for a chest xray. They prescribed an inhaler, doxy and benzonatate. It’s annoying because I had to go to a different location for the chest xray and I still need to go back to the original location to pick up the meds. I came here directly from work and now we’re almost four hours later. 🙄
I just want to curl up in my bed and sleep.
Oh man what an ordeal after work and sick. Ugh. I hope you get to curl up and sleep soon. I am glad you did go in and hope all the meds help you feel better soon.

I've been rockin' my sleep lately and it's so exciting! I wear a sleep mask that has ear bud things inside that has blue tooth capability, and I've started listening to podcasts instead of music. The voice droning on is perfect for me, and the light blocking factor is excellent. I have to thank @Laura Corin for suggesting this kind of product! They are also excellent while flying on a plane. I don't have to worry about dropping a cordless ear bud on the plane and having to contort the body to try and pick it up (BTDT). Not fun! 😉
All this to say, with my improved sleep I've had more energy to do things around the house as well as fun physical activities. It's a marvelous feeling!
Do you have a link for this mask? I recently started wearing a sleep mask and love it. I tried the Loop earplugs but hated how they felt.

Do you or your dd carry anything for personal security? I am not talking a gun, but more along the lines of pepper spray or an alarm? Are those allowed on college campuses?

Silly question, is it only if you get the combined shot in one vial to get the better response? Or does it work if you had gotten both shots at the same time, like lots of people did this last 2 years?

y'all, please pray - called and got Oldest's results - it's NOT a UTI and the urgent care doc said he needs to see urologist asap. No one has appts sooner than July, so probably that means get him down here and take him to the ER. Trying to reach him now to see when he can come down (and of course my brain is spinning with the possibilities; doc said unlikely to be kidney stone either).
OH my goodness, how scary. I wish the doc would have given you more information. Praying for your oldest.

Hmmm. That sure is interesting. But the time I got them both together kicked my butt, so now I am scared to do that again.

Hmmm I think I would? What is in it? Dairy? They say the dates on dairy that the products are still usually good for 7 days after.

You could put chicken breast in a crockpot with a jar of salsa then use for tacos one night and eat with rice and beans another night or two. What I usually do when we are going to be driving and staying for three or more nights in a rental is to make a big batch of something like chili or lasagna in advance and take it along. Then have it every night for dinner with different easy sides. Chicken pot pie or any favorite casserole would also work. So convenient and easy. We always do eggs and fruit or plain yogurt and fruit for breakfast with either toast or some local bakery items. Lunch is usually the one meal per day we eat out while out and about.
How far can you drive with something like that food safety wise? Also do you do anything to not have it spill in the car?

So cute. Keep us posted!!

I make the same ones I make all year. I prefer to have ones that make huge batches of food that can feed my family for days, have veggies in them, and are low price to make too.
But yeah we have had chili in Florida in the summer.
