AMJ Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I ran errands this morning. Including the AFSA. I picked up our late Christmas photo cards and 2 ornament storage boxes. And ran other errands with oldest to lift license restrictions and deal with banking issues. Youngest has practiced violin. Now I need to reboot laundry and the to-do list. itired. We are all supposed to be on "break", right? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 For some reason my nerves are all jangly this morning. I have soft instrumental music on to soothe my fevered nerves. It isn't stress since I don't have anything that I'm particularly worried about and I don't have any particular deadlines. Probably stoopid hormones. Could be weather approaching, or it could be a reaction to some shock waves going through the earth from a quake elsewhere. Are others edgier today? Are the animals behaving a bit oddly?

AMJ Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Ok, I'm freaking out right now! I just picked up my next Harry Bosch book. - "Lost Light". It's written in first person. All the others are written in third person. It is too weird. I had to put it down and get my bearings. Aaaack! I do not think I'm going to feel comfortable being inside Harry's head. Thanks for the heads-up. I'll adjust before starting that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) I used to think this way -- preserve the book. I would carefully underline in light pencil when studying so I could erase it later, and not use highlighters in my textbooks. . I'm teasing, really. :D I'm not trying to preserve the books, I just never have any thoughts to write down while I'm reading. I have lots of thoughts to write down when I'm in my book discussion group, but it's just easier to write notes in my journal or on a notecard. I write inscriptions in all the books I give my kids. It's a Book Writing Booyah! This is the thread that never ends, It just goes on and on my friends. People started posting not knowing what it was, And they will keep on posting here forever just because...

Susan in TN Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I finished cleaning out the large basket in the closet and the general area. I found a sleeveless black turtleneck that I have been missing for two years, and also a nice fluttery-sleeved red blouse that I apparently purchased at the thrift store but have never worn, judging from the tag still hanging from the side. I washed all the bed and table linens and have made spare pillowcase distributions. Tomorrow I may be persuaded to take dd10 to the petstore to buy a new hamster. I'll also see if I can get dh to brave the returns department at AFSA. :D 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 2,000 miles round trip and we are home again. We listened to 1.5 audiobooks. I had my van detailed today for $30 plus $10 tip as a Christmas present to myself and she hasn't looked this good for at least a decade. Christmas was eventful--due to sick extended family we spent it in a hotel, unexpectedly, which happened to be undergoing remodeling. My family member decided that they will get married in our small hometown rather than at the international destination (to my relief). And, the usual squabbles over the usual issues all happened around me. I was not a part of that. I am happy to be home far, far, away. Tomorrow shall be full of laundry, chocolate, and planning my backyard landscaping. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Good Wednesday Morning! Yay for the return of Mommy2BeautifulGirls! - you're going to need a shorter nickname. Have we seem Isabel this week? Did she get sucked into a Christmas vortex? Prairie - Welcome Home - let the chocolate consumption, lounging, backyard planning begin! I hate the holiday swim practice schedule - early mornings -ugh! We didn't go yesterday because it started at 6:45. At least today is at 8:45, but still - yuck. I mean if students are gone (at the university), why are we stuck with these crazy times instead of the normal schedule - surely no one needs the pool in the evening. But coaches emails seem to indicate that these are the only times we can get the pool.

Susan in TN Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Good Morning! Swim teams need to have practice during lunch hour, and provide lunch for the drivers.

Yay to planning the next six weeks! I am getting my hair done this morning. Gotta keep those grays at bay. Dh has off today and then back to work tomorrow. We're taking the kids to a movie. We're gonna see "Sing", which I think will be good.

Junie Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Last night I ate meat for the first time in two months. (Actually, I cheated once when I found gf supreme pizza at the grocery store.) I was hoping that it would make a difference with regard to my arthritis and migraines. It didn't seem to help, so I decided to add meat back onto my menu. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
