Wheres Toto Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 4 hours ago, Jean in Newcastle said: Scrub tops? I was looking into a scrub jacket with my logo for a lightweight options when the AC is too chilly. My mother has an embroidery machine but we've run into some hitches with the logo and I need to rework it. I was thinking of the jacket with logo and just a bunch of science themed shirts, with a few plain ones for backup. I've ordered from Eddie Bauer twice since January but mostly long-sleeve stuff. I wasn't thinking Spring/Summer yet since it's been so cold here. I bought a couple pairs of PJ pants, a pair of jeans, some long sleeve shirts. I used to work as a CNA and scrub pants are the most comfortable thing EVER. I've done multiple loads of laundry, put away the clothes from previous loads that have been sitting out for (over?) 2 weeks, went to the AFSA, stopped by the science center to feed the fish and found out my cleaning person did the pile of dishes I left yesterday that I was expecting to do so YEAH!, made dinner (boxed mac and cheese). I'm mainly working on putting a 125 slide Powerpoint presentation on Excel into a format that I can print as a guide for the class to take home. Our last day is Monday. I think I"m down to 35 pages. I should only need 4 copies. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 We seem to have developed a good set of summer clothes for dd10 with items that both fit and match. I've gone through 12 tubs of clothes. I think I've reduced it to 7 tubs. Need to make new labels with index cards. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 We have gone through the apartment and thrown every large thing in the back of the truck and taken it to the dump. Old toys, old bed frame (from Dancer's old room), old love seat, and anything else that I could find to throw out. The place is still cluttered, but I now have a place to work, for sorting and stuff. A lot of stuff. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Morning. My upper back is out, right between the shoulders, and I have 100 pages to read and line edit for emotion today. I expect to add things like "stabbing pain" "despair like a dull ache", and "anger pulled his muscles tight" but I'll try to moderate myself... Other than that, caffeine, writing, revising, and taking another swing at the synopsis for my sequel again today. Get that to my writing buddies tomorrow maybe and see if it makes reasonable sense and sounds interesting. Because I haven't written that book yet... 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Our "yard" is basically a wild flower meadow, aka weeds. We live on the side of a mountain and it's very very rocky. Partially shady with pine trees with roots that seem to kill off everything. We don't bother with grass and ours tends to get much longer than that before it gets mowed. Some of those weeds, um flowers, grow super fast. Woke up about 8am after going to bed around midnight. I can't seem to sleep in anymore. I need the alarm to wake at 7am at least some of the time but I'm definitely awake by 8am. I guess I've gotten into a routine. Run to the science center to feed animals, more laundry, cleaning, setting up classes, setting up school should be about it for today. I'm looking through my Great Courses list and think I'm going to have both kids watch some math stuff. Both are struggling a little bit and I think it may help. Algebra 1 for ds, Fundamentals of Math for dd. That and/or some Kahn Academy. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Good morning! How are you doing today, Jean? I am not at church. The family left me here to sleep. The thunderstorms may be popping up here and there through the day. I'm planning to make avocado toast for lunch with the naan I got on clearance. Avocado blended with some lemon juice & salt, tomato slices, and bacon. If there's a decent lull in the rain we may go for a hike or at least take the basketball to the park court across the street. I bought a basketball at the AFSA yesterday. Not sure why. Could be a case of Barkley Bladder Delirium. Coffee! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Home from church and lunch. We ate out so oldest could have a nice meal before driving back to college. Our front yard has lots of weeds. Well so does the back. And they're getting thick and clumpy, so should probably be mowed soon. Also, we have moles. And a dog who tries to dig for moles. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Lunch today is cordon bleu.

Dh and Gymnast are walking in the river, and I need to decide what we'll have for sides. Plus, I'm working on a book cover on Canva.

Lunch at In ‘n Out and the girls are all happy with their purchases. I got Easter dresses and sandals for the girls. The only one who got a swimsuit was my Baby. We found one adorable swimsuit at Target. It was the only one of its kind and it happened to be in her size. And it is absolutely adorable. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
