Wheres Toto Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 MIL is out of the hospital and in a rehab facility. FIL couldn't join her there because he lost his temper when they took him to visit and threw a tantrum in front of the doctor and nurse and they don't have a behavioral unit. So dh called his doctor to change his medication because it turned out he wasn't taking anything to calm him down and if he shows good behavior while visiting MIL, he could possibly get in there. Right now they are looking temporary but they are hoping to switch it to long term. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) So far I've done very little of my to-do list except laundry and a little bit of straightening up the living room. More cleaning can't really happen until dh is back at work. I have all week and realistically, there are only a few things that HAVE to be done this week. Some of it can wait until I'm done with classes. Although I don't know if I'll be doing summer camps right away or not. Hmmm, a failing to do my to-do list booya.

Wheres Toto Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I need to find time to shave my legs. I have a end of year homeschoolers picnic at the lake Wednesday. I haven't shaved since September.

Renai Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 The Tests are here. I don't remember the date I put on the BJU order that I said I was going to start them with Gymnast... She already knows they are here, and doesn't care either way. Maybe I'll start this week. I'll save reading for last because she just isn't there yet, and don't want her discouraged the rest of the test. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about your pen, Slache. (I typed in 'Slache' and my iPad wanted to correct it to 'Slache'. ) I have made a short list of projects to get done this summer. It's not terribly ambitious. Coffee!

Critterfixer Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Bandaged my fingers. It hurts, but I'd really like to hit 4K today. I am so close to done on my first draft of the third book in this series, and I so badly want to draft book four in thirty days. I know I can do it, because I'd done things like that before. Plus I don't know what's going to happen with me in the coming weeks. Storytelling feels really important to me right now. That and seeing that the boys have the time to garden, fish, and really enjoy this summer. Kind of funny, but nothing else really seems to matter right now. But I'll take it. Beats the usual summer depression that tends to set in around this time every year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) Oh, and something crazy and slightly alarming happened at lunch. Dh put a pickle on his hot dog. And then ate it. I have never, in the 30+ years that I have known him, seen him willingly eat or even touch a pickle of any kind. I have seen him drive back to the burger place to request a burger that has never been touched by a pickle when they accidentally forgot to leave off the pickles. I have seen him melt in despair over a food dish that otherwise looks tasty, but is suspected of containing relish. Mind blown. Maybe he is having a mid-life crisis.

KrissiK Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I’m back!! We had a great time. It was colder than heck. It rained and snowed yesterday, which was truly amazing taking into consideration the low elevation and the time of year. The snow didn’t stick, but it was sure fun to watch, since the vast majority of the people up there don’t live where it snows. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) Legs got shaved. Only took two razors and about 20 minutes. The end of year picnic is at the lake we belong to. We used to have a key to the clubhouse (where the bathrooms are) because we had our 4-H meetings there. Looks like sometime in the past year they changed the locks. So I sent an email to the board members asking if someone could open the bathrooms for us on Wednesday. Keep your fingers crossed that someone will because it would suck if they don't. ETA: Huh, two booyas in a row. I guess this is a bathroom access booya? Edited May 28, 2019 by Where's Toto? 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
