Critterfixer Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) I was sleepy, but I have been hot on the trail of a particular ruin in my state that I desperately want to find and see. I found it tonight! Not only are the ruins of the old castle still there, but this crazy silver mine owner build a resort town that got drowned when they dammed the river. The resort is in the shallow part of the lake, and popular with kayakers and scuba divers who like to see the underwater structures. How crazy cool is that! I am there this summer. Got to go write a story about that--freshwater monsters or mermaids or something. ETA: I told the turtles. <Writing journals when we go, Mom?> You bet, buddy. You bet.

Susan in TN Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Day 37 step goal done. I am way over my step goal but while I get a lot of steps with the puppy, I miss walking at a faster pace for even a half hour. I might flare a lot from this. We'll see. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk No flares! No flares! Dd9 and I walked around the block / music building a couple of times while the others were in orchestra class. She wanted to talk about literature. The Time Warp Trio series, specifically. :lol: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 For story time we are reading "Detectives in Togas", which is a kids' mystery set in ancient Rome. I am not really enjoying it like I thought I would. The writing seems clunky or something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I just finished “Keep the Apidistra Flying†by Orwell yesterday. It was interesting. I've never heard of that one. I am reading "Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands" by Something Tripp. It's very good so far. I started The 100 Year Old Man but got distracted by a personal need to read the other book. I can't read more than one book at a time. The Struggle is Real. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I crossed a flooded creek once with water up to the bottom of my doors. Never, ever, ever again! This was pre-ITT, and thus I didn't have my friends to save me from myself. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I had a busy day today. I took dd7 to the dentist (the one I didn't want to see). They gave me an appointment with a new dentist in the practice and he was super. He told me that her cavities really don't need to be filled yet; he wants us to come back in 6 months to get sealants put on her teeth. I did some meal prep so that I don't have to cook so much the rest of the week. Paid the kids with frozen York Peppermint Patties to put their laundry away. Went to the post office. Napped. Watched Olympics with the kids. Took ds17 to work. Picked up ds17 from work. Cleaned up the kitchen and dining room. I think that's about it. :) 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsuga Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 What is an aspidistra? and why does it need to fly? And what is preventing it from flying, thus we are being commanded to keep it flying? I have read that book and I can't answer those questions. I forgot. I think it is about culture keeping us alive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Good morning! I am hearing reports that Rascal (the rat) is roaming free. OK - he's back again. Whew. Angi, I am so happy about your job! We have a field trip later this morning to the Big City Post Office. Ds13 said he'd like his first job to be a mailman. I was a mailman for a summer. I wouldn't recommend it. I am seriously considering skipping children's choir tonight (church). Last week's disaster is still too fresh in my memory. And I worry that the choir director and/or his kids may still be carrying the flu virus. All three of my giant purple allium bulbs are peeking up in the garden! :hurray: Thunderstorms are supposed to happen today and tomorrow. So far, sleeping with my fitbit on my wrist is annoying, I'm gonna give myself a couple more nights to see if I can get used to it. Coffee!

I gave her my remaining pair of leggings from Christmas. It turns out I simply don't like cloth hugging me legs through the knees, calves, and ankles. Both DDs love leggings, though, so they can have them and I'll stick to crops, boot-cut yoga pants, and jeans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) I think I must be proving our stress->inflammation->weight gain hypothesis over here bc I’ve dropped sweets and been cutting back carbs and am gaining again. It’s like all the stress of the last year has finally gotten so big it’s overflowed on me and my back is a mess, my stomach hurts at night and my head hurts during the day. If I was a trophy wife I’d send myself to a spa for a week and then get lipo. 😒 Look at it like this, you're building good habits and when the stars are aligned you will see the fruits of your labor as pounds melt away. I, on the other hand, think about walking and drinking more water, and next thing you know I have a coke with lunch and a piece of cake later. I don't know how that happens.
