Junie Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Good Morning! Happy Tuesday! Second Pfizer shot went well yesterday. Not much going on today. As usual. I gave the girls light school this week because a) I'm not sure how I'm going to be feeling (side effects of the vaccine) and b) we are doing testing next week. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Good morning! We are having a couple beautiful days of weather. I need to go grocery shopoing this morning, otherwise just regular school lessons and tidying up a bit. I finished watching a series called "Them" on Amazon. If you like scary-creepy-Stephen King, this is the series for you. Very Disturbing. Coffee! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Side effects of the vaccine so far (+28 hours) are a headache and some arm pain.

Wheres Toto Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 We had Panera for dinner. Because the kids and I are hanging out at the science center. Because we have no internet service at home. 😞 They are coming to fix it tomorrow. But I have work to do so I'm still here. Plus the kids are happier with wifi. But I'm not sure how much longer I can hang out here. The chairs are not nearly as comfortable as my lounger at home. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Good Morning! Happy Wednesday! I have not been sleeping super well. I think it's because the temperature in the house is cooler. (The outside temperatures have been warm through the day, so we turned the heat off.) We're supposed to have cooler weather this week (I think) so I think I'm going to turn the heat back on and hopefully sleep better tonight. Still no symptoms from the vaccine other than arm soreness. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dh has been going crazy dealing with both Home Depot and Lowe's. Their sites will say something is in stock, set it for delivery and everything, then a day or two later (sometimes not until delivery day) suddenly it's not available and he has to start all over again. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) Good Evening! Alas and alack, I was not destined to join the Nearly Headless Nick Club today. Surgery went well. I decided that it's something I don't want to make a habit of. The pain meds are working, though, and I've got an ice pack on my neck and am sucking on a throat lozenge because it feels like I have strep throat. Very sleepy. They gave me a seasickness patch behind my ear. I've never had one of those before. Also, the rolling bed was called a Zoom Stryker. I asked the nurse if they regularly participate in action films. 😂 Chester was so excited to see dh and me when we got home that he pee'd a bit on the floor, silly pup. The girls cleaned it up for me. I need to do my breathing exercises. Coffee! Edited April 14, 2021 by Susan in TN 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 It was absolutely beautiful weather today. Mid 60's and actually a bit on the hot side when weeding out in the full sun! I am still slowly chipping away at the Yard of Doom. I did get one side of the driveway completely weeded! Of course I've noticed that weeds are starting to grow back where I started the project, so I will start back on maintenance on that again tomorrow. Maintenance is a lot easier than cutting new ground/ reclaiming ground that's been totally overgrown with grass and weeds. My weeding is getting slowed down by friendly neighbors. I'm only slightly complaining about this. I don't mind the social interaction at all. But it just makes it that much more time to actually get the same amount of work done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) Good morning! I have another day of lazing about. I have my ice pack on. Did breathing exercises - those hurt. I have this little device to measure my air capacity and I can only get it to 1000-1250. It's supposed to be at roughly 2300. I'm also supposed to breathe deep and cough but that's too painful. Dh is playing chauffeur today. It's my high schoolers' last day of tutorial. Hard to believe. Graduating girl needs to be there extra early to help set up for a teacher's luncheon that the seniors organize. Also the senior prank, though dd won't tell me what that is, lol. Coffee!

Wheres Toto Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Morning. Another week almost done. This was a long one. I'm hosting a book sale at the center tomorrow. I really should have started pulling things out and setting up already but I haven't. I'll have to do it tonight or tomorrow morning since I have class until 30 minutes before it starts. dd is having another hang-out with her friend on Saturday so I'll have the chance to get some work done then for next week. I have 6 weeks left until Memorial Day, then the last week of most classes is the week after Memorial Day week. I don't have Wednesday or Friday classes that week but all others had a snow day we need to make up. I'm going to start advertising for another teacher soon. I may see if whoever we hire can work some summer camp days too. My current teacher possibly needs to have surgery over the summer so may not be available. It would also give me a chance to assess the new teacher easier and see if there's anything I need to address before classes start in the fall. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Good Morning! Happy Thursday! I didn't sleep well (I was worried about a side effect that might be caused by the vaccine -- bleeding gums).

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 So (and this will be long) I have been doing research in my quest to get better strength training. I had resistance bands from all different companies. What I suspected from use but didn't really know until I started to delve into it today is that while all companies have colors in the same color sequence going from yellow (light) to black (extra heavy), what those colors mean in terms of pounds resistance varies WIDELY. So I have marked with sharpie the pound range (because it depends on how far you stretch them). Now I have to take this knowledge and apply it to the exercises assigned by my personal trainer so that I actually get the right poundage for what I am supposed to do in my quest to become Xena Warrior Princess. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
