maize Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I had a nice--very slow--run. Dd15 and dd11 joined me for part of it (part because their pace is faster than mine; they left after me but caught up and hung out with me for awhile--mostly walking while I "ran"; I told them if only one foot is on the ground at a time it is officially running no matter how slow 😄 Then I came home and tried and failed to figure out how to install the reverse osmosis filter I ordered awhile ago. Ds2 was demanding a walk so I took him for a walk and then it was time to take ds13 and dd11 to the dentist for fillings so I did that. Now I am ITT'ing. also debating whether I should go watch youtube videos about installing a RO filter or look up plumbers instead. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Hi. Unexpected bonus from drinking massive amounts of magnesium. My hair is better than it has been in 20 years. It's still not the thick mane I always wanted, but my fine hair is now soft and manageable instead of wiry and fly-away and completely stubborn. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I have scheduled the gas company guys for their meter upgrade. The last time the meter guy came, he went straight into our backyard without telling anyone, scared Juliet, who was barking her head off, and left the gate wide open in case he "had to flee for his life" (his words). This way I know when they are coming and can make sure that Juliet is there to greet him is put away safely. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Our schools finish up this week and go back after Labor Day. I tried to take a nap. I don't think I slept much but I laid down and rested. I think I want to go back and try again. I tried to eat some soup and I just can't eat. Other symptoms are much better - not that stuffy, coughing a little bit (but a deep cruddy cough when I do), but seriously achy and tired. This needs to go away now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
