Another Lynn Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 7 hours ago, Susan in TN said: Wait just a minute, Lynn. Why is that room so clean?!? Did I miss something? Well, maybe. We had some minor basement renovations done. Damaged dry wall repaired, brick fireplace removed, closet built to enclose fuse boxes, half-bath redone as well, new canned lighting, and plumbed in de-humidifier! New dry wall, new paint, new floor. It was mostly finished by Christmas with the last few things finished after New Years. Before all that we got rid of a lot of stuff - it had become the dumping ground. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 The scale is finally going down. Finally, finally, finally.

Now I'm ready to be one of those success stories and lose 80 pounds in 6 months. That's healthy, right? 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I woke up this morning and my breakfast wasn't made and waiting for me like it usually is. Simply tragic.

mama25angels Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Good morning! I'm exhausted, I woke up at 4 and dozed for the next few hours, never really going back to sleep. I have an appointment today, piano and somewhere in there we have to get our lessons done, or at least most of them and church services this evening. Ds actually has soccer practice tonight but, since he was sick this week and his team has no coach, I figured we'd stop by after service next week. I guess I'll get up, I don't want too, and start my day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I'm up. Okay--so yesterday, I was driving to writers' meeting and passed a store that had recently closed. Almost immediately, I had a sudden vision of a homeless cat wandering behind the store, and she gave me a look (a mental look) and said, "My name is Banjo, and you're going to write my story." Number one: I'm an adult fantasy writer. My attempts to write for kids so far have been pretty poor. I don't write kids all that well. Number two: On virtually every agent's list, it says, no talking animals! Number three: I don't write for kids! Did I say that already? This morning I have the cat, her backstory, her character arc, and have been introduced to her two best friends. I guess I'm writing this thing. 7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to have a black front door and it took me a bit to get the right black. Tricorn black SW 6258 is a really lovely black--the most favorite from when I looked at black paint again last year. Benjamin Moore's Soot is also pretty nice. I'm on team one black wall, just because light really does dark things with dark walls. It can feel oppressive, even in a room with a lot of expansive light. Pinterest has a ton of pins of all black rooms---I'd show Ikslo Jr. some pics just to make sure that's what he's in for before you jump in. I've found that my teen boys don't visualize wall colors well. (We had a similar run in with cobalt blue paint.) So weird - that's the black he picked (SW Tricorn). I didn't even see your post first. It came out great, if I do say so myself. Edited January 23, 2019 by ikslo 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I dreamt I was in law school (again) too last night.

prairiewindmomma Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I have to iron stuff today. I figure if I'm not really mobile I will have to do all of the things that I have been putting off that don't require me to be mobile. Today I can weight bear on the back of my foot and flex the front of my foot without too much discomfort so I don't think I broke a metatarsal. I've been eyeing boots on amazon this morning. I'm still pretty sure that I broke toes. Everything feels in alignment in my toes when I manipulate the joints and it's all pointing at the correct angle, so I think I might skip X-rays and just get a walking boot if I can't walk normally by the end of the day. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bad one - and now that schools are back in session, it may be spreading fast. It just started pouring outside. Too warm for snow.

prairiewindmomma Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Ds is supposed to go sledding up on the mountain this weekend with a group of friends and suddenly grew from a men's medium to a men's large. *sigh*. He can still squeeze into his coat but I need to find ski pants at a thrift store before Saturday. I bought a bunch of men's medium stuff for him for Christmas and he fit into everything with room to grow a month ago. How do they do this? I look at him, and he really is visibly broader through the shoulders. I just had him step on the scale and he's put on 10 lbs too. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
