prairiewindmomma Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I finally got the dehumidifiers sterilized and a meal plan for the week scheduled. Laundry has been switched over again. Gold star for me. On to teach Youngest. ***faints*** Mondays, oh Mondays. **slant-eye grimace** Can I go back to watching Eureka yet? Can someone please be my accountability person and ask me tomorrow am if I took my weekly immunosuppressant? I've been putting it off because I don't want to be ill at a school event tonight but if I'm out of my routine I tend to forget to take it until I start hurting. THANK YOU!! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight is my Enbrel night. I tend to forget it until 11 p.m. or so. Maybe I should go take it now.

Slache Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 If we got rid of our cell phones we would save $60 a month. I looked into it because our phones are worn out and not working well and I just can't waste a few more hundred dollars on another two phones. I hate these things.

Slache Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I want a home phone with the ringer off and no voicemail or answering machine. I'd call back anyone I knew or anyone who called twice in a row (that was my old code because I don't answer the phone) and use my iPod for ANKI, Duolingo and hiving. I suck. I know. That's ok.

You get to decide how much social interaction you want to have with people. (I do think that there are times when we can go to extremes and for our own mental health and for the sake of our children we might need to go outside of our comfort zone a bit. But that is a decision to be made in a family and not due to peer or family pressure.) Making choices that work for you and your family does not mean that you are are a bad person even if they are different choices than what another family might make. (Though I think on most choices we end up finding plenty of people who agree even while we find plenty who don't. But majority or minority doesn't mean that something is right or wrong.) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I have the world's worst headache. I was making dinner and wondering why I felt so bad and why my stomach was imitating Jean's volcano, and then I realized I forgot to eat lunch again. I got so busy with reading, working on editor business and taking notes that I forgot to eat. No wonder I feel so sick and shaky. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
