Jean in Newcastle Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Can someone tell me: on Sunday morning at 2 am do I set the clock back to 1 am or forward to 3 am? It’s forward to 3 am right?

Critterfixer Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I'm in denial about Daylight Savings Time. It marks the onset of massive crabbiness for many months until the time is back to normal. I finished the schedules with time to spare, and the phone rang. It was a recorded message telling me about low-cost funeral and burial services. :blink: Okay, then. If I wasn't sure it was Monday, I'm sure now. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Now I should probably write a sci-fi story about how everything is spying on us, and the phone got wind of a plot by the water heater to boil me alive in the bath. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Baby Juliet has diarrhea all last evening. She let me know each time with a plaintive whine as she ran for the door. (I wish she cared about pee too but that’s a different story. ). Anyway, at 6 am I heard an uncharacteristic whine from her crate and rushed her outside.

Tsuga Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I refuse to consider what my ideal day would be. It would bear so little resemblance to anything real that I'm afraid that it would be too depressing to think about. . Right now, I just have to focus on this season and put one foot in front of the other. ) I'm so glad you said this. I feel the same way. I was thinking, if I go there it will NOT be good for my attitude... Right now this has to be the ideal that I have chosen even if it's not about satisfying my short term wants or even short term needs. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I will run it regardless. I very rarely cancel a class anymore. This particular one, I did move the date by a week to allow more time for enrollments, so it will run whether or not more families enroll. Besides, it's a new course, and the experiment has to begin with someone... I actually wanted to participate in that class with my girls, AND it was at a time of day and day of the week we could theoretically make. But with everything going on right now we can't make it reliably, and my brain is pleading "not now" in regards to adding new stuff to process. Please keep us informed if you decide to run more of these family classes some later month. Our schedule will lighten up sometime.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Ed-Po! The last weeks of WWS will be the death of me. I know taking notes is important, and everyone should know how to do it. But I despise index cards for notes. I won't even use them for notes when I'm writing. I also see no point in taking notes on sources until I have a rough draft of what I'm writing. What is the point? I might not even use those notes! Pantser meets planner and fireworks ensue. I see the value. It's just so far removed from the way I write that it gives me hives. I've had the hardest time keeping my cool and reminding myself that this stuff is helpful, useful and needful. Four more weeks--but I've half a mind to discuss my alternate way of doing things to keep from getting irritated. It's not that the way in WWS isn't a good way. It's an excellent way of planning and preparing to write. Just not my way. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 What's YOUR perfect day? I have time to attend to just a few things so I feel like I'm moving ahead well. I get to paddle on a lake, or I get to stroll and lounge about in the desert Southwest with my BFF (family too, willing family) I remember all my meds and supplements and take them all on time. Temps are in the 70s (F). No mosquitoes. I either get to cook and eat yummy things, or I get to eat yummy things someone else cooked, things that really hit the spot. I get time to ponder, and just watch the world go by, and mull, and think, and write. Everyone is content and cooperative and getting enough of their own stuff done to keep moving ahead well.

AMJ Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I was so tired this morning that I mixed my twins up. I have no excuse- I was looking right at her and she was talking! She said she was offended but I think she secretly thought, “haha, we can still fool Mom.†Then, I was moving so slowly that I didn’t catch Baby before he fell smack on his face on the hardwood floor. He’d been sitting so well that I was a bit complacent. He forgives, and is fine because he didn’t have far to fall. And there was a gnat in my coffee mug after I fixed it just right. Yuck. I tossed it all in pique when I should have just fished it out. Because we’re out of filters. 😩 I’m feeling better now, though because I’m finally awake! I wish I didn’t have to people and do things until I’ve been up for an hour or so. It’s time to do the things! :grouphug: :grouphug: You could try a couple layers of paper towel as a coffee filter. You might have to dampen it to shape it. I remember my Mom doing this once or twice when she was out of filters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
