Susan in TN Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Good morning! Congratulations on toilet repair and party survival and other Friday activities! I woke up at 6 and thought I should visit the bathroom and when I looked at the clock again it was 7:40! It’s so quiet here at my parents’ house! Today is the Big 80th Birthday Shindig at the church. We considered having a hootenanny, but were afraid it might get out of hand, and being at the church and all...😁 There is a lot of snow here! Must be 12” piled on the back deck! My kids back home have Scout merit badge classes and writer’s club. It’ so quiet! Coffee! 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Good Morning, Happy Saturday! I'm now mostly off for an entire week. Some tutoring, one workshop, maybe a gathering but relatively quiet. I felt better yesterday but was super busy and couldn't get on ITT. I LOVE my Friday classes. They are the best group of kids, friends with my kids, great parents. Always put me in a good mood. Then we had dinner at my mom's house and dh made creamy shrimp and lobster linguini. Then we came home and I had one Stella Artois (I know, I'm boring), stayed up late to finish reading my book, then slept in until 9am. Today I"m planning to relax, maybe do some laundry, put together a brochure for a very small conference I'm going to have a table at. And that's about it. A nice, quiet, lazy day. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots of little ducklings Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Happy "Valentine's for People Whose Sitter Is Only Available On Saturday Night" Day! We are hitting our favorite Mexican restaurant. It's got great atmosphere, and someone may or may not have mentioned once to the hostess that DH is hard of hearing, so we always get a window seat for two in a quiet corner now. 😁 Beef enchilada with mole sauce for me. And a pomegranate margarita, salted so that DH won't drink half of it on me. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 John is about to take off for a sole winning class at church. He's putting way too much thought into things like which Bible to take and which socks to wear. He also ran around playing, got hot, then told me he had a fever. I think he's nervous.

Isn’t meant to. Was agreeing with you. I think? I'm PolyAnna-ish by nature, always have been. My theory is that mood is mostly driven by internal biological processes. Circumstances can have an effect because stress impacts internal biological processes, but a person who is naturally inclined towards getting glum, irritated, or depressed can feel that way even if everything is going right in their life and, evidently, a few of us are capable of feeling generally upbeat even when everything is going wrong. I'm not sure I am actually capable of feeling depressed; I'm only capable of feeling irritated in a very transitory and ephemeral way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
