I buy them in sets of 50 pairs. 🙂 It is just ridiculous. I think today is the fourth day. We don't know if it's malfunctioning or a prank but it's always just after 5. It's blaring to us but it's not our building so all of the occupants of that building are outside freezing while they wait for the fire department because they don't want to go deaf. Today it took the fire department like 15 minutes to get here today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I decided to run out to Michael's today for my planner stuff because dh decided to order pizza for dinner and I'm not a huge fan of pizza, so I could pick up something else for me when I ran to Michaels. I thought about going to the local vegetarian/chinese food place, but then was heading to Michael's and there's a Panera in the parking lot. After looking at the veggie/chinese and Panera menus, I suddenly realized there's also an Applebees in that parking lot and I love their oriental sesame chicken salad. And I've been craving onion rings since we drove through Wendys for lunch on the way home from in-laws and Wendy's DOESN'T HAVE ONION RINGS!?!?! Can you imagine that? So I ordered car side pickup from Applebees, ate my onion rings and I'm full. But the good thing about that salad is it still tastes yummy the second day. I almost never finish it in one sitting so have it for lunch the next day. I ordered my planner stuff from Amazon because Michael's didn't have anything in the Classic size in stock. That was probably way more information about my dinner struggle than y'all needed to know. I'm going to take a nice warm shower now. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I am back. We are going to crash at the "old" house for a while. Busy day. Talked with the therapist (blew his mind, he thought I was just a middle-aged, middle-class mom who was having a little trouble with her teenager. I showed him!!!) Picked up closing docs at the Title Company, went to the City Utilities and got trash and water transferred to our name, called Xfinity and had internet service transferred, had duplicate keys made, did a little moving. We moved the homeschool cubbies (uh oh, EdPo) and that's all nice and neat now. iTired. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I should get a jump on my to-do list since it's still early, but I'm happy just sitting here with a cup of tea. Tomorrow I have to run out to Michaels for some refills for my Happy Planner, and to the library. My library actually has the anxiety book I was going to order from Amazon. I figure I"ll check it out first then if it seems really helpful, I can buy it. Which Happy Planner do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in high school we would sing that song, except that on the radio it always sounded like, "It is night! My fart is weak!" and so that's how we sang it.

I've been thinking about getting one but, I really want to see if I can use my planner for the whole year before buying something else. I've been playing with it all day and have decided not to. I use publisher to print little booklets like a mom and teacher tracking thing and a habit thing and those don't fit in it. What I really wanted was a Leuchtturm1917* with a $90 case that I adore and about $30 in inserts making it an A5 traveler's notebook. The expensive parts are a one time purchase and I don't feel guilty spending the money but we haven't had it to spend since I picked it out. I think I'm going to buy my Leuchtturm1917 and glue pockets in it so I can combine my 2 notebooks and clipboard. Simplification! *My fave is an A5 (standard) dotted notebook. The exciting part is that they have a pre-made index and the pages are numbered! Again, simplification. It's my thing. I was a fool not to swallow my mistake and just buy one last December. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 More Bullet Journal opinions. So, I've had an A4 (skinny) and it was fine but doesn't fit my booklets which are a new thing, and a large which was really cool, but lived at home because it was so big which was inconvenient. A5 is perfect but I love the multi-book concept so I want the stupid $90 case. I had a difficult time knowing what went in the journal and what went elsewhere. I decided everything went where it made the most sense and then I never had to question where it was. My calendar is on my phone because we have a synced calendar. My fitness, activity, sleep, nutrition and menstrual tracking are all on my fitbit app because it goes there. Habit tracking, goal tracking, finances, and innumerous lists are in my bullet Journal because that's where lists go. My school planner is a small insert because I track stuff in drive. I haz a system. Sort of. It makes sense to me and that's all that matters. My bullet journal is utilitarian, not pretty. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I has writed all the things. Now I'm going to take my shower, and curl up with a garden catalog and pretend I have time to flit from my writing desk in my perfect Beatrix Potter house to my perfect Beatrix Potter garden. In reality, I'd be running from my beat-up, scratched-up desk with the tea rings and cough-drop wrappers on it to do battle with the squirrels robbing us blind in the sunflower seed department.

Critterfixer Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I've been doing something fun every Thursday this December. I offer three first chapter critiques to writers, but there's a catch. They have to pitch me the story (because that's a good skill to practice) and the critique is only for positive things. No negative remarks. Only what the writer did well and why. I can't take credit for the idea (an editor came up with it and it took off). Sure is fun, though. Been thinking about how to implement this in writing this spring. It's completely different from looking for areas that need work. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using the faith edition planner but, I have the budget extension pack, the wellness extension pack (which I adore) and the monthly extension pack (because I just wanted to try it out).

Coughing so hard my ribs hurt. On and off low grade fever. Face hurt from sinus pressure everywhere. Then I lost my voice Saturday and here it will be Saturday again and I still sound dreadful.
