Junie Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Good Morning! Happy Wednesday! Woke up with a really bad headache. It's a bit better now, but still lingering. Counting down the minutes until I can take more pain meds. I might try to caffeinate it, although that usually just puts me on the caffeine/withdrawal headache path and I'd like to avoid doing that again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Hello, I'm back finally. 5 days of Fair set-up and Fair, then a 3:30am wakeup call for the airport, then I got called into work because one of my teacher's had a family issue to take care of. Today I slept in until just after 10am then went and met my mother for lunch. My life should be getting back to normal now. Although my body is still very achy. All the movement, standing, lifting, etc of fair on top of my fall off the step ladder isn't doing me any favors. I'm hoping it will settle down soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salad for dinner and no ice cream when the kids had it. I ran 2 mi yesterday. Nothing today because I had to work early. Hopefully tomorrow I can workout and work. For some reason I eat worse when not exercising. But when I exercise, I can resist. Ice cream is my favorite, but I'm back in the workout mode... hopefully. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dianthus Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Your edpos make me feel like a slacker. We did... library reading for science last year. I started Apologia biology but didn't have time to read it so dd read it to herself and the boys read library books. I'm thinking about asking them what they want to do and buy a packaged curriculum like bookshark but probably not bookshark. I have to schedule our days this year. There's no way around it. Ugh.

Wheres Toto Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Good Morning, Happy Thursday. I'm doing my under desk elliptical this morning, then I'll do some yoga, slowly easing my sore body back into a routine. I have math workshop today for dd and the two other kids who occasionally show up. If nobody did their homework (the usual), it's basically me sitting there watching them do their homework. I'm doing new routines for the fall so that it's not just week's of them sitting there doing their homework. 5 weeks from Monday until classes start again. I need to get moving on plans. I've done activity lists and outlines but I need to put it all together. Fall allergies seem to be starting up around here so I'm stuffier than usual. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 So… the good news is that the huge pork butt (#isaidbutt) that was in my freezer that I told my mom I was going to throw in the crock pot today for family dinner at her house tonight but then I noticed had freezer burn was totally salvageable. i only had to cut off about an inch and the rest was great, so it is in the crock pot.

Susan in TN Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Good morning from the Portland International Jetport! I just finished eating brunch, which was a Burger King bacon king sandwich that was accidentally made for me instead of a quarter pounder with cheese. They were severely understaffed. It was huge, but somehow I managed it. 😂 So one thing I learned about Maine is that it can be a sweltering first week of August over the rest of the country but in Maine I will still need a sweater and light jacket. Coffee shop coffee is super cheap here - I don’t think I’ve paid more than $3.50 for a cup of coffee here. Also, Maine has very good drivers. Everyone drives the speed limit and kindly allows vehicles to merge into traffic. Airport security would not let me take the French pastry rolling pin that I got at the Maine State Prison gift shop. 😭 Hoping to be home around dinner time. We fly to Charlotte first and from there to Nashville. Coffee! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The town I live in has a larger population than their biggest city. Mount Desert Island is beautiful, too! You'll have to see if that old used bookstore is still there. oh so sad.

A couple times a year I take a trip up to Connecticut, which is about 2 hours away, to the Book Barn. It's a huge used bookstore in Niantic.
