Susan in TN Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I think my kids get abnormally excited over the prospect of having a sandwich for dinner. They may go completely haywire if I add sliced tomatoes and arugula. Dd15 is running a low fever with the sore throat.

Critterfixer Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I wish people in my house would get abnormally excited about sandwiches for dinner. The only interest I get is when I make grilled cheese, and that's two adults and no children excited. Tonight they will just have to be excited about baked potatoes or cook their own durned dinner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen clouds like that IRL. Sometimes I really miss watching storm fronts roll in across the Minnesota prairie. You could tell as they approached -- the air would grow still, and EVERYTHING would hush. Then there'd be a hint of some air movement. Then a wisp against your cheek. Then the air would stir perceptibly, and the birds and small animals would start to flutter and scoot to somewhere secure and safe as the stirring grows into a breeze, and then into a wind. To the west would be a rolling, towering approaching bank of dark, blowing colder air before it until the trees bend. The clouds would tower above and block out the sun, and then would come the rain. The experience is enervating, electrifying. My high school friends would call me a barometer. They could tell when weather was approaching simply by how I acted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 For those of you who mind your FitBit, how many hours a day do you get over 250 steps/hr? I'm curious.... It looks like I average 4000 steps a day just walking around, doing my thing without purposeful exercise, but I have many hours with <250 steps.

Today my pacer app says in one half hour this morning I got what looks like more than 1000 steps in that half hour. That would be when I went to early vote and ran one errand afterwards. It says I also had two half-hours (when I took DD13 to/from ballet) in which I got in more than 350 steps per half hour. I'm going to need to start counting the steps at ballet, I think, to verify this. It's possible I got in that many steps, but I wonder if my phone is counting steps my vehicle takes.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanalouwho Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I typically average about 9500 steps, and usually only one or two of my hours will miss 250. This was not the case a few months ago; only since I started setting smaller goals throughout the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 So sleepy... I am back from writers' meeting. I read story and showed off my protagonist (watercolor), returned home and finished editing Chapter 14. I'm simply too tired to do revision right now. Also done: school, cleaning the kitchen, keeping up with laundry and mostly keeping up with the dishes, and the goat was showered. All animals have been fed, walked and medicated, and litter boxes patrolled. Imma bed. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
