Critterfixer Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 The rooster is courting my girls now. Whenever they come close to his pen he frills up, struts and dances for them. They ignore him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I spent the day at the hospital with Mom and Dad which was a real blessing. But I am exhausted now. I don't know how my Mom does it. She was there before me and stayed longer than I did and this is her 3rd day there! Where's Ikslo? Where's Renai? And we haven't seen Dawn in a long time either!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Sure enough, after I ordered another pill organizer tray (should be here tomorrow, already shipped) I found the missing Friday pill case. Where was it? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I'm here. Work has been busy, so I've been working. Homeschooling, well, is. DS just finished Mockingjay, so we went out today to get the movies. We also got Schooled for our next read aloud. Hash browns, broccoli, and chicken patties for dinner. And bug juice in champagne flutes. Because why not? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Oh! When we were at BAM today, DS found a book he wanted to get. It was under $5, so I said yes. Looked like a thrown-together crap book to capitalize on the Halo movies, but whatevs. He carried it around the store and was flipping through it. After reading a bit while I was perusing the stacks, he told me he changed his mind. "This is horrible writing, mom. I can't believe you were going to let me buy this!" Now do you see why I make you read everyday? For no other reason than so you can spot the crap before you spend the money! Bwahahaha! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 My fennel is ready, so we had baked chicken, potatoes and fennel for dinner. It was delicious. I love fennel! I planted half a bed of fennel and half a bed of green onions. The green onions are kind of sketchy, but the fennel is gorgeous. Snowflake Kitty loves to sleep amidst the fronds. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I don't feel like doing the dishes. I need to read to my baby. I guess I'll do that first.

Renai Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 The pollens are hitting us harder and harder. My plan now is hot tea and sinus day for all of us. Movement as we can manage inside (to reduce pollen exposure), but only as we can safely do. Cludgy is leading into clumsiness. Hash for supper tonight. What is hash? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Not really! But I've always wanted to make a dramatic exit. I think I'll go read Sophie's Squash to my baby. That is like the best book in the world. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) 75F and beautiful today. Raining and 48F for the high on Saturday. Welcome to the Southern Spring Roller-Coaster! Where the peaches get nipped as soon as they bloom, but oak pollen will linger forever and ever.... 68F today. Wondering when the other shoe will drop. Sigh. Except here, it isn't the peaches that get nipped, but the apricots. :( Edited March 10, 2017 by Renai 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Actually, I have been craving tortilla chips. The kind that are really thin and crisp. With homemade pico de gallo made from summer tomatoes and lots of cilantro. And a margarita. Both Dancer and I sighed as I read this, leaving off the bit about the margarita. :D 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Goofing off here and there tonight. Tomorrow, I'll leave the house at 11:15 a.m. to go to church, after which I'll go teach hula until 3:30 ish, then over to the church until late because we'll be setting up for our retreat. Up at o'dark hundred to go back to the church, busy all day long, go to bed--with any luck--by 11:30 on site, up at o'dark hundred to continue retreating, finish by 2:30ish, clean up, go home and crash. Which is to say that I may or may not be here until Sunday afternoon or even Monday. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 :grouphug: Junie. I don't think prednisone agrees with you. :iagree: However, I can tell that the inflammation is much better. I am walking (most of the time) without my cane again. My injured shoulder is also better. And I might be able to wear my rings again soon. I'm going to try it at least through next week. I'm really not worried about getting my sleep schedule sorted out until after the time change. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really not worried about getting my sleep schedule sorted out until after the time change. Don't stop it cold turkey! But you know that. I suspect that the goal is to get the inflammation down so that the other medication can keep it down.

AMJ Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I've run out of groceries and I'm not sure how. With DH's overtime check, I bought more than usual and we've been eating out more.

AMJ Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I went outside to write. I thought I'd better take advantage of the little bit of good weather remaining. But I'll have to go put up chickens soon. And come up with something for dinner. I told the boys they might want to think about cooking their own tonight. Last night's planned hash for dinner didn't happen because I was klutzy enough not to trust myself with a knife. Instead I baked some tater tots and told everyone to help themselves to the leftovers in the fridge. Even with that we STILL have leftovers. Guess I don't have to cook anything today, which is a good thing. The oak pollen is still whacking us in the sinuses. I salined twice in this morning's shower, which did feel good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
