KrissiK Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I agree. I don't think they should be doing that. I'm NOT a fan of musicals. Opera is good, though. It's the breaking into dance in the middle of a song or dialogue that I find annoying. Must be caused from bad memories of my youth. ;)Oh, I love musicals. I can't think if how many times I've been hiking and come over a hill and start singing, "The hills are alive.... With the sound of mucks!" 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Three trash bags of joy-sucking junk thrown out after cleaning dc's shared bedroom this afternoon. Woo-Hoo! And that was just a three-week accumulation of largely crafty stuff. Ugh. I will console myself with the hope that my children are just brilliant creative geniuses in the making. Hmmmm. I wonder if Picasso's mom ever regretted Kon-Mari-ing all his childhood super-villian pictures and sculptures made out of the contents of the recycle bin + a fat roll of duct tape. Bet she did. Oh well. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should really see the cat's eyebrows. I will text you a pic. I did not make them dark because of the fear of middle child wrath. Ds12 admonished me quite soundly and then scrubbed them mostly off. The cat was nonplussed by the application of the eyebrows. Ds12 said she looked stupid and was embarrassed so he scrubbed her. I don't think she liked that one bit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Ikslo made me laugh so hard the kids came to see if I was ok. I slept in very late but still got a lot done. I just finished a 40 minute core workout that I decided to do for my back. I feel so good. I would do it everyday if it wasn't so freaking hard. School is done, house is done, laundry is almost done. Now for lunch, naps and reading. Good day. :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well. Not likely. She died in 1939. I think duct tape was invented after that. Thus, there would have been no duct tape creations to Kon-Mari. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I just realized today that I'm happy in a content sort of way. For the first time in a very very long time (ie. two decades) I'm not dealing with daily pain of any significance. If I get enough sleep (and unfortunately that can be a big if) then I have enough energy - not tons or anything but enough. The doctor said to me in amazement today "You're doing ok right now". Yep, that's how I feel about it too! Dd had to ruin things by telling him that I always get sick in October, November or December (I've missed the last two family Christmas dinners due to being really sick). Actually, come to think of it, I think I usually do feel ok by this time of year because that is when I finally get over my fall/winter illnesses. So let's hope that history doesn't repeat itself and that I can maintain this. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Just to add to the doctor thing, since I'm still processing it, when I told the doctor that my pain levels were so much better, he asked, "What did you do?" I told him it was due to an increase in one med - an increase I had been fighting actually because it can be rather a scary med. He said "Did I give you that?" No, the neurologist did. He was taking notes. I think perhaps some other patients with chronic pain might have some med changes soon. . . I hope it helps them too. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I've heretofore only dreamed of and longed to draw eyebrows on the cat. I was dissuaded by ds12, who is quite a little Mr. Bossypants and told me I could not draw eyebrows on HIS cat. I guess I showed him, though they are all scrubbed off now. <sob> 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
