Those are cool stamps! I had no idea you could get stamps by mail. I have to leave with the kids in a little while for the children's choir concert in The Big City. I'm helping at a welcome desk and the kids have rehearsals so we have to be there this morning even though the concert doesn't start until 3:30. I need to remember to bring a water bottle. Coffee! This is how I usually buy stamps. It seems that they are having some kind of delay next week, but that is atypical. My orders usually arrive really quickly (2-3 days, iirc). My post office usually has a very small selection of stamps. I figured out that I could buy some really neat ones online, so that's what I've been doing. These are some of my current favorites: first responders: https://store.usps.com/store/product/buy-stamps/honoring-first-responders-S_478104 sportsball!: https://store.usps.com/store/product/buy-stamps/have-a-ball-S_474904 The Snowy Day: https://store.usps.com/store/product/buy-stamps/the-snowy-day-S_676104 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Good Morning!!!! COFFEE!!!!!~D Saturday!!! Got another UTI.😩😩😩😩 Came up suddenly. I was fine yesterday. Woke up in the middle of the night with horrible lower back pain. Now all the traditional symptoms have appeared. I did one of those AZO pee-on-a-stick tests and tested positive for both nitrites and leukocytes. So, we called the Dial-a- Doctor and he’s sending a prescription to the Afsa. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 This is the first Saturday in a long time that I didn't have to wake up to work. I don't know what to do with myself. There is a lot to be done, though. I'd ask Slash to plan my day, but she's already tired. 😞 It's supposed to go back up to 60 degrees today, but now it's still cloudy and cold. I don't think it'll snow again, though. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I looked at the clock at some point this morning, thought it said it was after 10am, decided I didn't care and went back to sleep. Woke up hours (??) later and it was just after 9am. So, not sure what time it was the first time, it was getting light out so maybe a 6 or 8 had the curve like a 0? Anyway, since it was early I decided to get up and out the door to do the shopping I needed to do, grab some breakfast at Panera and get home to do laundry and clean all day. So far that plan is working except I'm on here instead of cleaning. But there is a load of laundry in the washer, the piles and baskets that were sitting around all week are folded and sorted, so it's a start. I think we'll just pick mom up a plant for Mother's Day. I did get a card. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 We still didn't get the updated schedule for dd's TKD. He said he'd be sending it out Thursday or Friday but nothing yet. I really would like to know what we're looking at since they are cutting down the number of classes. Our schedule isn't super complicated but it would still be nice to know what's up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I am so tired. My back hurts. I'm glad I'm done. I love this job. I was a caretaker for my grandmother and then in large part my neighbor when she started failing. I never knew I could get paid for it because I don't have a degree. If I have to work for money I want to do this or work with dogs. 4 hours ago, Susan in TN said: Go seep? Ok. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then these two massive bald eagles came flying through the corridor just about twenty feet from my head.

Critterfixer Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I am thinking hard about a nap, but I know I'll have to fight two cats for control of the bed. Not sure it's worth it at this hour in the day. Maybe just try to stay awake until bedtime. I am supposed to go take care of my parents' cats, but there was a fire in their neighborhood and I can't get in yet. This evening, maybe.

73349 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Happy Mother's Day! Scout campout did not go according to plan (thunderstorms 😕), so DS and DH arrived home at 11 last night, waking me. I got back to sleep around 1. No quiet productivity for me this morning. We are all tired. If I'd known they were coming back last night, I would've used my time differently yesterday (doing the same amount of work, but different work). Kitty is DELIGHTED that her favorite person finally came home. She spent yesterday alternating between pouting and asking me to play mousie. 🐈 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we know he has dementia. He's also non-compliant with meds. And they thought he would die over a year ago. About a year ago he talked about getting a gun but of course nobody was going to help him with that. We are in a state where getting a gun is not that easy thankfully. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want to face the wrath of Whitehawk the Enforcer due to no compliance with ITT rules. Slept well last night, and I am up and having tea and granola for breakfast, DH took the kids to church. Happy Mother’s Day to all my sweet ITT friends. You are all really quite wonderful. My kids gave me my presents this morning before I got up. They are real gift givers and know their Mom well. I got three COFFEE~D mugs. One very lovely ivory and gold one that says in script “Jesus and Coffee” because “you drink coffee during your devotions, Mommy.” And then DS gave me a Marvel Comics coffee mug that changes color when you put something hot in it, and also a travel mug with an automatic stirrer. And I got a pack of gum and a pack of kitchen washcloths. DH took them to the Afsa yesterday and it looks like they had a good time. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
