Wheres Toto Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Morning. No yoga with dd this morning because I didn't remember until around midnight last night that today was Tuesday, and that seemed a little late to send a message to make plans (and wait for a response). Oh well. I'm meeting a realtor this morning at a space down the road from my house. I need more space at the science center and this space looks great (except its second floor) and is inexpensive for the area. We shall see if it would actually work. I was thinking it was too early to look but dh pointed out we'd need time to move in and set up so would probably want to move in May, so for commercial its actually not that early (to do build-outs, etc). We're supposed to get rain, sleet and possibly some snow today but pretty minor amounts. I need to run up to our accountant to drop off paperwork so they can do our taxes after meeting the realtor. Then it's work on classes (as usual). And I still am setting up school one day at a time. Whoops. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Good morning! I have big dreams for today. We'll see how long this attitude lasts, lol. Fold and put away laundry - without interruptions I could get it done in a half hour, so in reality it might take 2 hours. I want to go to AFSA and look for some things, including quick snacks and microwave meals for dd22 to take back to school. And then also pick up a couple things at The Magical Organic Store (Whole Foods). Life Together, so far, is not what I expected. Wow does he ever put his finger on all my painful issues. But I will keep reading it because it's good and good for me. Coffee! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan is the one who lost her red resistance band. Probably in the soup pot. I have my red resistance bands and yellow ones and blue ones and purple and one black one. I also have red (and other color) resistance tubes and loops. But ironically despite having acquired all of that I have slacked off from Xenaing lately. And doubly ironically I have lost a tiny bit of weight since slacking off. But I won't slack off forever. I just need a certain amount of "hard things" bandwidth to do it and lately that's been filled up with other things. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Good Morning! Happy Wednesday! I've been in lots of pain for the last few days. I think my medicine might need to be adjusted when I see my rheumatologist next month. 😞 And the weather isn't helping much, either. Online weather still thinks I live in Saskatchewan.

I am wondering if it's so dusty in here because we had construction done on the house before we moved in, plus our windows are not what you'd call air-tight (which is how we want it, tbh). My mom said that the amount of dust in her house decreased dramatically when they got new windows, so that might be a factor. I will look for those vent filters!

Susan in TN Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I made another sheet pan dinner - honey mustard chicken with baby carrots and Brussels sprouts. It was pretty good. I think it could have used a bit more sauce on the chicken. I only needed one pan of it because half of the family was not home for dinner. Oh well. Leftovers for lunch tomorrow! Did I tell you about the first time I made Brussels sprouts? They were so awful that I told everyone they were not required to eat them and we threw them outside for the squirrels to eat. The squirrels wouldn't touch them either, lol! 😁 (The Bsprouts turned out fine tonight. Was I supposed to put sauce on them, too? The recipe didn't say to, so I just put them on the pan plain.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 That does sound nice, Jean. I'm up early and probably will be for the next few days. One of my dogs is having excess drinking and urinating at the moment. Treating for UTI, but I'm suspicious of an underlying endocrine issue. She's about eight, so young, but I have her set up for bloodwork this Saturday. Other than leaving lakes in the house, she's fine. But I don't like dealing with indoor floods, so I'm having to take her out about every three hours around the clock. Because of that, the only thing I can do is become nocturnal for the next couple of days. I'm scheduled myself sleeping time between 11 and 5 this evening when the boys can take the dogs out, and I can shut the door to the bedroom and sleep. Getting up every three hours at night just isn't allowing me to go back to sleep, and DH can't get back to sleep either. So this seemed to be the only logical solution. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
