Renai Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Everyone has what I'm already considering. I'm getting an Inspire HR. I ordered one through Amazon (for some reason, Fitbit website no longer likes my address and I don't want to call), but then cancelled because I realized the seller wouldn't be covered by the Fitbit guarantee. So, I need to order another one from an approved seller on Amazon, so thought I'd ask what ya'll had. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say, it’s a pretty cushie job. I do work hard, though. There’s a lot to do, tons of paperwork, deadlines to meet, and a lot of people to deal with, but I do most of it from home on my laptop (I got a ton done at this hospital this weekend 😂👍) and I do still get to homeschool the girls. I am very thankful for it. I did need a teaching credential. And I think the fact that I have a Master’s in Education helped me out a lot, too. The state of California (under pressure from the teachers union) is coming down hard on Charter Schools.

Junie Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 So I don't have a fitbit to track my sleep, but I do dream a lot. I hope dreaming is an indication of good sleep. :) This afternoon I dreamt that Orlando Bloom was giving me a manicure and insisting on using a blue nail polish to match the curtains in the room. Oprah was also in the dream. And the Obamas. And somewhere along the way I was cooking dinner and it wasn't going well. I was in a panic because a journalist was on her way to my house to interview me because I was running for Senate. Shortly after I woke up, dh called and asked me a question that required me to make a decision. :svengo: 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I am folding laundry whilst watching a not-very-good rom/com on Prime. The question is, do I quit it and watch something else i’ve Watched a million times, but like? Or do I just keep watching because..... who knows why. And I broke a nail. So I had to trim all the other ones so I don’t look weird. And I have an eye-twitch. And I have no idea what to make for dinner. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 We had a creamy pesto and butter bean sauce over pasta, a big clear-out-some-space-in-the-fridge salad, heirloom tomatoes with cottage cheese, and dh's homemade oatmeal raisin cookies for dessert. Day #2 of school and we did all the things again <shock!>. Dd7's precious elderly Gal Pal from church took her out for chocolate ice cream and then we all went to the farm. Tomato season is over. 😥 But I think I froze almost 3 dozen quarts of tomato sauce, so we will enjoy a little taste of them all winter long. And even though the nights are quite cool, littlest duckling helped me cut flowers and I still collected enough zinnias and Black-eyed Susans and lavender and ageratum and bachelor's buttons to fill four happy vases. And the ducklings sucked on honey sticks that the honeybee lady gave them and everyone played on Bob the tractor and we remembered to get more milk and we brought home ten feet caked in dirt. We still have 6 more weeks of produce, but I am so very sad to say goodbye to another summer. Wish all this sentimentality means I am the pregnant one, but alas, no. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why you need to get ready for bed before you sit down. Wash your face, brush your teeth, put on your jammies and then sit down. That way, when you are that tired, all you have to do is stagger off to bed. Not that I have any experience with this..... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I have to run to the AFSA this morning before class. I should still have time to do my yoga (I managed yesterday despite having to run back home for my phone after I was all the way to the science center). I'm still not 100% sure what I'm going to do with my youngest class today. The last two days those classes were super duper extreme messy. Not sure I want to do the same activities. I actually did a slightly different one with each class thinking the second one would be less messy but it didn't turn out to be so. I have not quite as messy plans and materials, I just have to decide on something. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) I'm going to start training for my virtual walk/run today. I'm going to start with about a mile each way.

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 It is 4:18 and I am absolutely failing sleep tonight. Or this morning. Whatever. I am in such pain. I took pain meds a couple of hours ago. Didn’t work. And I turned off the a/c because I was cold even with blankets and that makes me tense up, making everything worse. I am so tired that it’s hard to see straight but my stupid muscles won’t relax enough to sleep. Tomorrow- I mean today- I need to suck it ip, do my Lamaze breathing and start up my morning exercises again. And I need to get into the chiropractor ASAP to be put back together again. (As an aside, I have used my Lamaze breathing more for getting through everyday life than I ever did for labor and delivery. ) 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 So, since most of you seem to be still sleeping, I googled average walking speed. It's 3.1 miles per hour. A 5k translates to 3.1 miles. Coincidence? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I never clocked my walking speed. Depends on whether I am in a hurry to get in before the sun and the heat gets me, or enjoying myself in the cloudy coolness of a fall day with rain. I've been swamped by flood dreams for a month, mostly all flooded rivers. It's understandable. I've been sitting on a volcano's worth of emotions and trying to sort through them before I've had a chance to yell, stamp around, and actually experience them. Been on the brink of tears for probably two weeks, and yet have not cried. I'm a little too used to having to hold everything together. Yesterday was a good day, but I still feel like there's a huge weight on my back that won't go away. Not pregnant, though.🤣 Going to the doctor shortly. They aren't going to do anesthesia today. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73349 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) Happy Nirthday to SuperDude! 🎉 We're just going along and doing our thing; school takes longer than DS wants, but he likes to take his time getting started and also to take breaks, so 🤷♀️. We're going to a climate strike event Friday; my sign will ask legislators, "Didn't your mom teach you not to leave a mess for someone else to clean up?" but I'm thinking of adding a second one: "Don't tell me your room is clean when you've been letting your friends leave coal ash on the floor." I missed the dinner posts last night. We had maple Dijon chicken (plain for DS), brown rice, and strawberry-spinach smoothies. Tonight will be a veggie Mexican thing (read: something to eat guacamole with 😉). Happy Wednesday, ITT!

It's not actually a corner but an area in the archway that divides the living room/kitchen from the hall. Things get dumped there (mostly dh's things, but I have a stack of books there). So, threw away a bunch of stuff, then took a boxful of things to the secondhand store. I was so proud! There is still a stack there, but a small one. Until dh dumps the exercise mat and blanket there (he lies down there because of his back), then it looks messier again.
