The dog is safe though. I'm glad nobody was hurt! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 42 minutes ago, Where's Toto? said: Glad they were all okay and no damage to their house. Apparently, a shed blew away, leaving a pile of stuff on the foundation. And the high winds broke some large tree branches, but not near the house or patio (they think the dog may have hid on the patio)! Some neighbors have some damage (a large tree branch landed on an RV, and three trees fell in another neighbor's yard). My parents are walking the neighborhood today to check out how are things. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 The kiddos and I just made our marshmallow and pretzel constellations after finishing the Apologia Astronomy book. We used to do science on Friday because it is dd11 and dd8's favorite. A few weeks ago I decided to put this on Monday because they can listen to the audiobook while I write everyone's assignment sheets for the week. Monday mornings have been going much better. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then walked a little more with a friend waiting to pick up kids. Now, home again before violin lesson. It feels like it should be bed time. To-do list?

Susan in TN Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Good morning! It's The Queen's favorite day! Svengo, Lynn! That's too early! I got the older youngers into The Big City for their first day of summer orchestra. Will have to pick them up at 3, drive a mile to the Other University for choir rehearsal (don't let me forget to bring them some dinner!) and then straight to Scouts from there. OK. Time to pay bills and tackle the list of misc. stuff. Not going to start on the pantry today. Coffee! 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We scheduled the appointment today after the ortho verified his teeth are ready. He's kind of excited--giving up popcorn isn't as bad as being able to pick your bracket colors is good, I guess. I am not looking forward to his having a sore mouth and losing his enthusiasm. Or having more appointments on my calendar.

It had dogs, it smells like wet dogs, dog smell is in the vents, carpet, paint, under the appliances, etc.... No offense to you dog lovers should be inferred. Rashes, sneezings, scratchy throats, LOTS of tissues. I think dh's work likes to torture us with tantalizing 'possible' offers to move to Scotland. The latest: they want to start a department like what my dh does in the Dumferline office some time, maybe. His name is the top choice. I think I would rather they just kept that info to themselves until they are ready to actually make an expat offer! Yeah, we don;t get excited anymore. More like, "Oh really? That's nice."

Junie Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Good Morning! Happy Tuesday! I ended up having a pretty good day yesterday. I got bloodwork done so that I can see if I'm anemic. Dinner ended up pretty good (even though I would have rather played MarioKart). Steak, paella/yellow rice, peas, fresh cherries. Ds18 and I watched the NBA playoffs. It was a really good game. And I slept well. Except I had a nightmare about doughnuts and pie. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to spend a lot, but my goal this summer is start lifting, and I don't want to run to the gym or school field house every day. Dh is helping me. I agree with your friend. I wouldn't want to use a bench without a spotter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Good Morning! My usually short Tuesday won't be quite as short because I have Tech Tuesday tonight. Just one more after this one and I'm done with that for the year. End of this week, I'm done with classes for the year. I stopped the IF the other day and also stopped the bone broth just because it was more work in the morning and I was mainly using it so I could not eat breakfast (otherwise my tea upsets my stomach). Well, the past couple days I've been waking up super achy again. Now I'm wondering if the bone broth was really helping with that. So I'm back to taking that in my morning tea. It's not many calories so I'm okay taking it even if I'm also eating breakfast. I think I've finally convinced dh that getting a kickboxing bag for the classroom won't take up too much room. I LOVE kick-boxing, it's my favorite exercise. But it's really hard to find the time to get to classes around here and the bag at the Y gym is super light (even for me and I don't need that heavy). So I"ve been wanting to get one for the past few months. The actual class room at the science center has space, I only use slightly more than 1/2 of it for teaching. It's about 14 x 24 with doors in the middle of both walls going to/from the lobby and the hall to the kitchen/bathroom. I use the larger "half" to teach, it's where my screen is. The other half has bookcases, my green screen (only used 4-5 times a year, it's on a roller shade), and is really only used for classes that are not done at a table, like robotics or when we built marble roller coasters. The bag will be a free standing one that can be moved if necessary. I keep telling dh that they always say to find an exercise you love, and that is what I love. Plus I can use it at the end of the day after classes without having to go anywhere or do anything except maybe change out of my jeans. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
