JoJosMom Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I'm sorry that last night was a no-sleep night around here. (Praying for rest for you, Jean.) I slept, lots and lots, in fact, but istillTired. Nana says that she thinks that I had the flu, even though I didn't have a high fever. Apparently, from youngest puphood, I have been fever-resistant. Or something. But the body aches and owies (think: trying to use a washcloth made my skin hurt) make her think it was the flu. And she was both a Mommy and an RN, so she wins. Well, she's Nana, so she automatically wins, so there's that. If it was the flu, please mark your calendars to not get it this year. It sucks. #Isaidsucks 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanalouwho Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I am also fever-resistant. Fever seems to be my body's last line of defense, only happening when I am near death. Kitty hopped on my back in the middle of the night and started cleaning me. She started with my hair, which I ignored, and then started licking the inside of my ear. That got her banished to the living room. Even though I make her wear a sock hoodie, I am still her favorite person. She kneads me. (See what I did there?) I plan on accomplishing very little today. If it can't be done from under a blanket, I'm not gonna do it. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuga Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 She’s never had to lose weight in her life. I’m sure that she means well. I just didn’t appreciate it the way she might have thought that I would. (Because of course I have never done the generic things she suggested....) That's why it is best to never comment on personal appearance of others unless it is specifically and unequivocally positive. An adult should know this. Anyway it is nice of you to throw her a "means well" bone. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsuga Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 My DH insulated the big doors on our garage last winter and he has space heaters out there. He has a router and other toys out there and likes to take the chill off the place so he can keep working on things he and his dad come up with. He set up a webcam so he can have projects running and monitor them from inside the house, too. He told me before we ever got married to not ever count on getting to park in the garage. He has been as good as his word on that! Props to him for honesty and knowing himself. I am glad kitty got in. We have a Siamese. They are smart like three year olds which is to say, smart in all the ways you don't particularly need them to be smart. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I have been told since my kids were babies that "you're not really sick until the fever is over 100.4". But as I have learned in the past couple years, you can have the flu, a severe UTI, and pneumonia without breaking 100. The first time dd11 had pneumonia I don't think her fever ever went above 99.6 which is why I didn't take her to the clinic until she was Very Very Sick.

Paige Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I tell my kids that they aren't sick enough to stay home unless their fevers are over 100 but in practice I go by symptoms. If someone has a fever they stay home regardless of how they act, but if their temperatures are lower and they seem really not right I'll let them stay home. But I don't publicize that and they haven't caught on (I think) because I don't want to encourage their drama skills. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 When DS (16) is sick he is so charming. He's always super extra polite and sensitive to the feelings and needs of others. I don't think he could ever fake that convincingly! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Second sleep. (((Jean))) Matt verified that I haven't spoken to my mom in over a year now. Back when things were bad when I was a kid she asked me to come home and haul wood or babysit the dogs when she was out of town, but I guess she doesn't want me for anything now. She's really the only reason I'm lookingforward to moving for. Why does his alarm go off so early if he doesn't leave until now or thereabouts?He works on all of his side stuff in the morning.

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Dd is being a brat about the doctor's appointment today. So I've handed her the insurance card and have told her to figure out the appointment herself. I would love to go in with her as usual and to support her in it but since she in her long 16 years of life, knows everything, I guess she needs an opportunity to prove it. (I will reconsider if she asks me to come in. Which I hope that she does. But if she's as stubborn as I was at that age . . . . ) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots of little ducklings Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 iMeetinged. Now dh has the van, so I am trapped into being productive at home instead of unproductively driving my bored children to get coffee. (For me. Not them.) And dd8 wants her buddies from the crawlspace so she can have a tea party, so I guess that's what I will tackle. Blech. Also, I have just been informed that ds3 did a #2 in his pull-up.

luuknam Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Not that 6 inches is a ton... unless you're bicycling over unplowed roads (the roads may or may not be plowed - they do plow them, but especially with the high winds it doesn't take long for them to seem unplowed again). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
