Jean in Newcastle Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 It’s probably not the best move to fall down the stairs when you can barely move to begin with. (I am not complaining here. It was inly a couple of steps and I landed on carpeting. ). What really affected me was doing my 5k walk. It’s not really sustainable when I end up stuck in my armchair for five plus hours afterwards. Not really complaining again- more wondering aloud what steps I might take to improve on this. I am stubborn enough not to give up my 5ks on Saturday and driven enough to want to be functional afterwards. Just took Aleve. I am hoping this takes the edge off my extreme achiness enough to get some sleep. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Good morning! Yay for Swim Meet! Swim ITT Kids, Swim! Ice cream and insomnia and falls, Oh my! We are struggling here, folks! (((Jean))) So Slache, I still eat ice cream, but it's one of those protein, low/no sugar, under 300 calorie pints, and it serves as one of my meals for the day. Easy peasy. No guilt. Church this morning. Dd16, ds15, and dh are playing/singing in the services. Someone has to leave during SS to pick up dd13 from her scout overnight thing. Ds15 has orchestra rehearsal this afternoon and dh is going to work with ds24 to try to get the heat working in his car. Coffee! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Morning. I poured syrup in my tea this morning instead of honey. I hope that's not a sign of how this day is going to go.

Wheres Toto Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 We put up our tree the weekend after Thanksgiving and take it down before New Years. We don't have a lot of space and the tree and decorations seriously disrupt everything so we can't keep them up long. When the kids were little I really wanted to do the year round tree but there just wasn't room for it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Today I need to run to the science center to clean my desk and do a couple other chores, run to BJs, more laundry, some cleaning. MIL is probably coming next weekend to spend Thanksgiving with us. Dh will go down and get her next weekend, then bring her back home the weekend after. So I'll have to have the whole house cleaned up before she gets here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I ended up ordering a good sturdy dolly with big rubber wheels to use transporting all my stuff to the science center. The one I have isn't in good shape and I just couldn't find another bag that I liked. This way I can keep using the backpack I like. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) After classes this week, I'm off for Thanksgiving week so I can get the weeks through the end of the year done, plan school and get ahead of things again.

Wheres Toto Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 So hypothetically speaking, if you wanted to order a curriculum that usually comes with dvd/video access but you found reviews on WTM that said that you really don't need the DVD/video access and your kid absolutely HATES DVD/video programs (odd since he's definitely visual) and it cost twice as much to get it with the DVD/video access, would you check off the little box that says you have access to the DVD/videos so you could order just the workbook? Hypothetically speaking if I searched far and long enough, I probably could find someone with access that would show it to me. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tingle and go numb, and they hurt when I try to use them. On the bright side, Dave's making breakfast 💞💞💞 so my only challenge is getting my coffee to my mouth without spilling it on my belly. Not much planned for today. No house elves came to clean my bathrooms, so I've still got to do that, and we'll be going to church in awhile. If my hands behave themselves, I'll do some more freezer prep this afternoon. If not...well, I'm reading The Night Gardener by Jonathon Auxier (I think?) I could always just finish that. Or take a nap. 😁 If you start feeling bad, make sure to go in and get checked. 1 hour ago, myblessings4 said: These are the ones I'm reading. The list waiting is too long.

KrissiK Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Church was really great today. Very emotional. There is a Teen Challenge facility in our town (Teen Challenge was started by David Wilkerson, “The Cross and the Switchblade” guy for recovery for drug addicts and gang members) and once a year they do our church service. It is so amazing to hear their testimonies and see the hope and joy in their lives. There was over 100 guys in the choir singing, too. We had a combined worship service and lunch after. It was very good. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 1 minute ago, Servant4Christ said: I don't quite get the logic in not going to the Dr. You've been sick long enough and it's clearly not going away on it's own. Servie says: Call the Dr tomorrow and set up an appointment. If you are better before that appointment, you can always call and cancel it. I have no insurance and no money. Most of my life I have had no insurance and no money. I remove my own ingrown toenails, treat my own flus and don't bother with testing for things like the flu or strep throat because they always go away. The only times I've ever gone to the doctor are when I have a urinary tract infection or when I'm pregnant and I only get pregnant when I'm insured. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maize Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 1 hour ago, Paradox5 said: Back from Church. Nursery was less crazy this week than last. Quite a few were out due to illness. I'm losing 4 or 5 kids who show up to the new Spanish congregation next week. That leaves me with 15. 6 will move up in January, including Captain. SNIFF!! So that will leave 9 starting out. Probably by the end of next year what with new kids coming in, I will have close to 15 again. Did I mention this is a young congregation? Quiet time now with Captain napping, the boys and Scotsman are watching the live action Lion King. The Girl painted a rock and is now on her tablet. I want a nap but we all know that isn't a good idea. I'm thinking I made a mistake in our BJU order but oh well. I lost our bjuonline login. Guess I better go figure out how to get into it. Dinner is Shephard's pie, if I get to it or maybe sloppy joes. Dessert is pumpkin pie. I think we had six kids today in nursery and that feels like a large group. I'm still hanging out there with the youngest kernel cause he isn't ready to stay alone. He's made progress though, he even ran across the room to retrieve a ball. Usually he doesn't go more than two feet from me. People without high anxiety kids don't understand; I watched a brand new 18 month old come in today and go straight to the toys without a single glance back at her dad. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) Hugs to you, Maize. None of mine were anxious about me leaving (at least, not in a major way) so I'm not experienced with that, but DS12 has many sensory-related quirks that really impacted us out in public when he was younger. It can be hard, especially if you are also dealing with adults who aren't understanding about it. I'm glad you can stay with little kernel. ETA: It's a Snuggle-em-while-you-still-can Booyah!
