KrissiK Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Actually, I can’t do my dishes. My dishwasher is running with dishes from breakfast and lunch. They didn’t get put in at the right time because I didn’t want to do my dishes earlier. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Dh washed the dishes this morning. I no longer feel guilty when he does the dishes. I'm tired too. Haven't heard any update about my dad's surgery but I know stepmom isn't a morning person so I don't want to try and call again until later. Taxes tonight and we'll find out how screwed we are (dh UPPED our deductions last year <<svengo>>) 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Good Morning! Happy Wednesday! I had a really good chat with my mom last night. She finally said the word "if". "If your dad comes home from the hospital..." He is apparently back in ICU. They're trying to clear out his lung again. He's very weak and has lost a lot of weight. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Morning. Editing. I need caffeine and a nap, but those two equations don't balance. So caffeine. I have mixed emotions today, too. My story is almost done. Again. I couldn't cut as much as I wanted to cut. That's because I have so many threads in the plot. They are woven together really well. Cut one, you cut the fabric. I seriously think if my agent or anyone else tells me "you can cut a subplot" I am going to run out the door screaming. Or tells me "cut prepositional phrases and adjectives" like I just use those with no reason. Or "kill your darlings". The darned darlings (and the subplots) died back when the draft was 196,000 words long. Or "cut it into two books". That's going to get me throwing things. Okay. I feel better. Now off to tackle this final chapter, see if there's anything else I can do with the six longest chapters and call it good. It's a big book and I cannot lie, and all that.😄 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Dd11 got her new bifocals earlier this week and seems to be adjusting fairly well. She put the glasses on and they gave her a card to read. She was able to read the smallest font on the page, which was maybe an 8 pt. font. I was amazed! This is my girl who without glasses can only read the top E on the eye chart. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Good morning. Despite responding to Slache’s texts during the night I had a pretty good sleep and didn’t get up for any extra pain pills. (My phone is on DND but I glance at it when I wake up from my cobbled together cat naps). Despite that, I am not really ready for today’s rumpus. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I bought supplies for Pi Day. Ingredients for breakfast quiche-pie, chicken pot pies for lunch, snack pies for snacks, and pizza pie for dinner. I don't have a regular pie. Maybe I can make a pumpkin pie. I think I have the ingredients for that. Oh wait! I bought buttermilk! I can make Critter's Famous Buttermilk Pie! Pie crust of choice, pre-baked. Allow to cool slightly while making the filling. Oven to 350. 8 tbsp butter, melted (very soft at the very least) 1 and 1/2 cups sugar 3 eggs 3 tbsp all-purpose flour (My GF mix worked just fine) 1 and 1/2 cups buttermilk dash nutmeg (or a little more--I like nutmeg) 1 tsp vanilla extract Mix butter and sugar. Add eggs and the flour, stir well. Stir in buttermilk, nutmeg and vanilla. I mixed all of that in a quart mixing cup. Pour into the pie shell. Bake at 350F for 45 min. Allow to cool for about two hours. That was as long as I could wait, and it set up fine. I had a little extra filling because I've got a shallow pie plate, but the equal parts of buttermilk and sugar made it sweet without being cloying. You could probably get by with less butter, too. But it sure makes the pie very rich so a small piece is very satisfying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Dad came through surgery okay but no updates yet today. Stepmom says they want to send him home today. He's 81 years old and just had heart surgery and his legs still can't support him. I don't see how he can go home. I just suddenly got dizzy during a class. I was able to sit down, get some water and that helped. Now I'm eating. I think it may have been a hot flash dizziness because I feel really warm, but I'm not sure. I get occasional allergy dizziness so I took a benedryl to see if that helps. One more class plus a two hour workshop still to go then taxes. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have too many things on my (nonpie) plate. A lot of it money things. And a lot of it camp business things where I am finding out that everything in the past was done with spit and a handshake. But people have hurt feelings that have never been addressed and now I'm supposed to fix all of it. Ugh.

KrissiK Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Girls are at piano lessons. I bought some sweet little planties at Lowe's this morning, and I planted them in one of the flower boxes in my yard. There are many flower boxes scattered here and there. The are concrete and seem to be permanently attached to the ground. This one is in a sunny location so it got a lovely red geranium, some lobelia and some dusty miller and this thing with white flowers that is supposed to drape over the edge. It is all very pretty. Or will be more so when it grows. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Just got back from taxes and we lucked out. Where we go is near a homemade ice cream stand that makes my favorite flavor ever - double dark chocolate fudge crunch. Cake crunchies, chocolate fudge, dark chocolate. Just yummy. So I went and bought a quart to celebrate. Looks like dad is going into rehab after the hospital so not directly home. That makes much more sense. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egao_gakari Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 In the last week, I've had 4 new people sign up for my tutoring business--including one who registered for 90-minute classes. I... think I gotta hide my profile for a while until lose a few folks. Feeling [willy_nilly.emoji] at the moment. I was already feeling like I might be at capacity. I never actually imagined that the business would get so successful that I'd look at my work schedule for the upcoming week and get totally overwhelmed at the thought of it 😬 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
