Wheres Toto Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 ((Hugs))) to everyone having a hard day/week/month/year. I'm done for the day (except home stuff like dishes and laundry and kids school) but I'm still at the science center. My cleaning person is on vacation and I HAD to sweep the floor after today's messy messy classes. And I'm feeding the turtle and waiting for him to poop before I put him back in his regular tank. I'm tired today. Had 4-H last night and I'm still recovering from crappy food over the weekend. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Staying busy today. Got some writing done, am making stew, and took a crack at revision dining room. I can now see the table, but since most of the books migrated to book-pile in my room, I'm not done yet. Also, the school cabinet is a disaster zone. But that's not getting touched today. Next Wednesday, maybe. Only have energy for so much in one day! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I took a nap but still feel like sleeping. I repotted the lavender and the baby lavender. I'm not sure why the baby lavender is still alive and growing - it has no roots - just greenish gray leaves on a stick. I also repotted the shasta daisy. It was terribly root bound. It really needs a bigger pot than the new one I gave it. I bought bologna at Aldi today. Ds14 is getting taller. I almost forgot to water the bonsai. More coffee! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I wish I could nap. I almost never can or I don't sleep at night. Went to a meeting about dd's tkd last night. It was with the owner of the dojo, not her old instructors. Evidently the old instructor was a contractor who was paid a percentage of money brought in from classes and events. They found evidence that cash payments weren't being turned in/accounted for, then found that a bank account was opened and presented as belonging to the dojo when it wasn't. Still haven't heard anything more from the instructor who was fired. One of the assistant instructors is staying with the dojo and will take over the classes. TKD will continue as it was with them being able to continue through their belts. They will also be able to take other classes like judo or jujitsu, striking and grappling classes, etc. Dd has decided to stay there. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 No naps for me. School is done. EdPo: Today is V-E Day and by some mad coincidence, we read about that in history today in “Our Star Spangled Story”. They’ve done a good job covering WWII. I went to Home Depot and got stuff for Mother’s Day Fairy Gardens. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I don’t know what to do. I only got three hours and thirty-three minutes of sleep last night. My days are ok- I always have pain-some days more than others- but movement actually helps and I have a lot to distract me. But I dread nighttime. I wake up with cramping that wracks my body/ back, hips and legs. My primary is sympathetic but has no answers. My sleep specialist/neurologist has me on meds for restless legs and seizures. Her solution is to keep upping the dose but that isn’t really working. My naturopathic doc is getting frustrated because none of his suggestions have helped. My own solutions besides the prescribed meds are to take Aleve which helps sometimes and other times like last night, does nothing. I am allergic to most pain meds and others are contraindicated because of medicine reactions so I don’t have a lot of choices. Oh- and don’t tell me to try pickle juice. I drink some daily. And I stretch before bed and sometimes during the night. And I take magnesium. Sorry for dumping on you guys. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I reserved a couple campsites. In most parks, the tent-site limit is 6, but most will allow a couple more people if it's all a family with kids. Not this particular park. Oh well. It's primitive camping, so super cheap. We will likely be hiking in areas with delightful names like Savage Gulf and Fiery Gizzard. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Hugs to all who need them!! And three cheers for Slashie for the job!!! And major boos for the publisher who published the edition of “Cheaper by the Dozen” that we are reading. It is a disgrace. Typographical errors on every single page. Seriously. Commas in the wrong places, words spelled wrong. Looks like they relied solely on spell-check. “Well” was written “wed”, “white” was written “while” and on and on and on. I am flabbergasted that this actually got printed. It is still readable, but it truly is an embarrassment and a disgrace to the publisher. 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
