prairiewindmomma Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I'm debating about whether to send out family Christmas cards this year....it seems many in my circle of family and friends have stopped sending them out. Our extended families aren't as close anymore, and it kind of makes me sad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I am trying out the Imak brand ones from amazon. They don't feel like true therapeutic grade compression gloves, but they come down past all of my knuckles on my fingers which is lovely. Most don't compress my DIP joints but these do. If these don't work out for me, I'll send them to you. ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 15 minutes ago, mama25angels said: Jean, I hope you're able to take it easy. No. But that's ok. In thirty years of chronic pain I have discovered that it is best to "keep on keeping on". I don't feel better if I take it easy. In fact, my pain can actually get worse if I'm not moving. And I get depressed as I get further and further behind in my responsibilities. And doing things is actually a distraction from some of the pain. (If the pain is bad enough that I can't push through it I do stop.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) FiL is in town for one day and I have to help ferry him to the doctor. I am trying to repent of my bad attitude about this and do it "cheerfully unto the Lord". (Really I have no cause to be grumpy about this. He's moved to another state and it's not like I am having to interrupt my schedule every day or even every month to help out. And dd is having a very unusual all day work day today and did her school work ahead of time over the weekend so I really have no excuse for my grumpiness. Oh my. This is a booyah? Here's an "exposing my grumpy attitude to the world" booyah. Edited October 15, 2018 by Jean in Newcastle 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 2 hours ago, Critterfixer said: Yes, I will. It's disturbing, and hilarious. The prompt was a two sentence horror story I made up, and then I thought it would make a funny poem for the festival thing that the writers' group is a part of. They were looking for some "spooky" stuff. A horror story: Mama got tired of hearing “What’s for dinner” all the time. So one day, she served the family. What’s For Dinner? It happened every single day, Whenever Mama’s nerves would fray This question, in her ears, did clap And finally, One day Mama snapped. She served the family, every one Raw, pan-seared, and some well done, A feast laid out to make eyes water, Brother, sister, father, daughter. Chicken-fried Daddy on a platter, Gravy made from deep-fried batter, Brother on toast, with some jam, Sister-salad, served with ham, And for dessert, it must be told, The baby, served up, a’ la mode. So next time you’re inclined to gripe, Whenever Mama serves up tripe, Use your manners, if you’re able Or best look out— You’re next at table. Oh my word!!! That is the best poem evah!! I love it!!,?????? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 We surely won't have to worry about drought this year. I'm pretty sure we've reached our average rainfall already. Ok, maybe not that much rain, but my back yard looks like a swamp, so there's that. Also, I regret to say that I have to leave the house tonight for a meeting when what I would really like to do is put on my flannel jammies and binge-watch Walking Dead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Also, besides the fact that Mr. Ellie has to eat and so I'm doomed to having to go to the grocery store no matter what, I also have an appointment with the ophthalmologist about the itchy eyes thing. On the up side, I bought some new socks last week and I get to wear them today, so there's that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I finally cleaned the garage this weekend. (It had been stuffed knee-deep after my last decluttering of the crawlspace, somewhere in early..... July, I think?). Six garbage bags, gone. ? I still have "new" shelving to put up (the metro shelves my dh rescued from his company's dumpster) so we can't park in it yet. But now there is hope that we will be able to do so before snowfall. Meanwhile, my crawlspace has gotten messy and cluttered again. Sigh. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I am (again) helping ds18 with his research paper long distance. I'm glad that he's consulting with me. Some of the formatting that he is required to do is different (subheadings, for instance). It helps me to know what is required of him so that I can amp up paper writing for his sisters.

Susan in TN Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I sat in on one of the choir rehearsals today since they were short on Adults In Charge tonight (fall break). I ended up having to sit next to the back-row altos because Very Chatty. But they shared their music folder with me so I could sing along. My Latin pronunciation is not so good. We met with the Financial Guy and he was not a poopyhead. I think we will be able to use him. Very reasonable rates. After the meeting dh and I went to the mall and had gyros. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) Good morning! Ellie, how did hula class go last week? Dd12 is very sure that her orchestra director said there was no rehearsal tonight. But I didn't note that on my calendar and naturally we have lost the piece of paper with the schedule. Sigh. We have to go anyway for siblings' rehearsals, so at worst she will sit around being bored for 2-1/2 hours. Coffee!

It was canceled, because four of the people suddenly had headaches or some such thing. ? But I was a reall poopyhead, because my friend and her dd were both home, and I could have done the class just with them, but I didn't even think about it until later, when one of my regular students called and said she had gone to the house, and knocked on the door and no one answered, and then went home, and this was a heroic effort on her part. I had forgotten that she said she was going to try to make it. ? I'm going to text my friend about this week, and tell her I'll be glad to teach just her and her daughter.

Her birthday is tomorrow. She will be 80. She doesn’t look close to being 80. Our charter school teacher is coming this afternoon. Last night I had Bell choir and then, since I was gone all weekend and nobody but me can do the grocery shopping, I had to go to the Afsa. The Afsa at 9:00 on a Monday night isn’t horrible. My allergies are raging. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually Mom cooks, but since her birthday is tomorrow, I decided I will bring dinner. And I’m going to make Susan Branch’s Apple-Cranberry Crisp from her AutumnBook. She made gifts for everyone who came to her talk (such a Susan Branch thing to do). They were little boxes that had a sample of her Apple-Cranberry Crisp, Molasses cookie and a bit size Pumpkin Cheesecake Dessert. All from her Autumn Book. So good.
