Indian summer Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I've decided not to tackle Wednesday. I just hope it doesn't tackle me, like Monday and Tuesday did. I'll probably pay for this on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 University classes are cancelled today, so dd18 (who is living at home during the optional winter session) is across the table from me working on calculus problems instead of being in class. I told dd14 to sleep in and that we'd do a light school day on hopes she'll be able to sled with her cousins later. The windchill is -15 right now. Dh is out with the snowblower---we got a good 12" from the storm. So today --drink lots of coffee and tea (decaf for me) --light school: just algebra 3, English, and marine ecology, maybe a bit of history reading --dd has to go over changes made in an FLL presentation (the next round competition is in 2.5 weeks) --price dd18's spring semester textbooks (I did ds's yesterday) --some emails --exercise: either elliptical or treadmill --read for fun :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the car to take dd10 to theater class (we usually bike!) and on the way back I narrowly missed getting hit by another car, which suddenly decided to swing to my side of the road :w00t: . It swung back just as suddenly. :svengo: I think I have tackled enough today! I'm cooking dinner and that's it, I'm going to read a book and be glad I'm still alive.

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 I feel a bit better this morning - better than I've felt in over a month. I think perhaps the antibiotics are finally making a difference? Had my breakfast within 30 min. of waking up. Took care of library stuff online. (I'll still have to go to the library later.) Monitored blood sugar and blood pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Jean, I only now saw the end of yesterday's thread! I hope your MIL is doing okay now. This may be MIL's last day on earth. She is not waking up this morning. Dh is on his way over to the hospital. At this point we just don't know - it could go either way, though if she does wake up and "recovers", I have a feeling that she will never again be at the point where she was even a week ago.

swellmomma Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 :grouphug: Jean car has been into the auto shop, spare is on, new winter tire has been ordered in and is being sent via courier to my little village hopefully to be replaced before Monday. Wheel was baked inside and turned to powder, so glad we made it home before it happened. Went grocery shopping finally and bought a new water jug, we've been empty for the last 2 days. Looking forward to going to the diner today, hate my boss and the environment, but my kids will not stop bickering so looking forward to the break from it.

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Just back from a bunch of errands: went to the library went to the dentist and scheduled an exam and x-rays and figured out insurance stuff with them. went to the butchers and got meat went to the grocery store and got groceries and shot the breeze with the manager about the super bowl. gassed up the car and bumped into dh there - which was good because the nozzle wasn't working for me and he got it to work. came home and got ds16's help in unloading and putting away groceries. took a call from the dentist because they had a cancellation and can get me in for the exam and the x-rays almost a week earlier.

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 The only update I have on MIL today is kind of a non-update: she's asleep. She's not really responsive but it seems to be healing sleep and to not be a problem so they are letting her be. We don't really know what things will be like for her once her body decides that it wants to wake up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 LEt's see, went to work, quit my job, came home from work, got my job back. Then I watched life of Pi while trying to sort stuff in the livingroom and fold laundry. made dinner, now relaxing again a little bit before heading to work to clean. ds15 is about to do one of the online assessments he was assigned by the career counsellor. He needs the print out from his assessments done this week brought to his meeting on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Wait, what? lol I made a thread about it, started typing it out, dealt with kids and talked to boss before hitting send but it is there. Idiot boss started getting bitchy with me and basically expected me to put work ahead of my family. There will never be a day that happens. I took off my apron, gave back the key and walked out. She called and apologized and we restructered my shifts so I get the same amount of hours but I am not gone from my kids all day 3 days a week anymore. And she knows she will always lose if she tried to make me choose between home and work, I will never be that desperate for work, there is always something else out there.
