Jean in Newcastle Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 So tomorrow we’re going to a memorial “service” at a restaurant. (Sort of an Olive Garden type of a place). Most of the family is not religious. But the lady who invited us goes to our church. She wears nice slacks to church. So do I wear my black dress? Or do I wear my infamous black Target pajama pants with my nice new flowy sweater that dh got for me on vacation?

Susan in TN Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Good morning! Its Saturday! I might go to Old Navy today. I have never been to an Old Navy before but they are having a sale and I might see if they have something for dd11. I am hoping dds didn't freeze last night. It got down to 21 degrees, which is 16 degrees lower than my camping cold limit of acceptance. They had double cold-weather sleeping bags and all the layers. It's supposed to be mid-50's and sunny today, though! We're going for a hike. I need to do Some Things which I have been avoiding - 2 emails and tax refiling.

Susan in TN Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Well, I think it's safe to say that I will never willingly set foot in an Old Navy again. Their clothes are delightful, but the store is so freaking crowded and visually busy. I went next door to Ross and probably won't go bck there either. There was a sign on their dressing rooms redirecting customers to the non-existent dressing rooms at the front of the store. So after that I stopped by my favorite thrift store and got myself a pair of $4 dress pants in my favorite color. (Brown) I now have 5 pairs of brown dress pants, but only 2 that fit me. I should donate the others. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I had a vegan breakfast. It was good. Avocado toast with roasted chick peas. I am not going vegan, although I would like to. I am trying to have the attitude of replacing meals with a vegan meal from time to time, and hopefully I will pick up steam. I am finding that I cannot handle/sustain major changes in lifestyle. I need to work on small changes and habits. Yoga has definitely stuck with me. 2 quarts of water daily is a struggle, but I am working on it. Cutting sugar out has been hard, but I am working on it. I am hoping that heading toward vegan will help my hormonal issues. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Score one for the thrift shop. DD1 needed a 1933- style (whatever the heck that is) fabric coat for the school play she is in. She found something she thought would work on Amazon for $37 + $5.99 shipping. I had already bought a white shirt and black shoes. So, today we went to the thrift shop and found something that should work for...... wait for it..... $1. Woohoo!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I cleaned and reorganized and now it should be much easier to plan and grade school work. And do some of my class planning that doesn't do as well on my lap as a recline on the couch. So, yah for a cleared off table. I watched Avengers End Game, and Spiderman Far From Home, and Zombieland Double Tap. I borrowed them from the library to watch this weekend while dh was away. He's not into the Marvel movies. He'll watch them but then he'll make fun of them while we're watching and that annoys me. So I watch without him. Tomorrow I have to do more school planning, run by the science center, run to the store to pick up foam for 4-H so we can make our banner. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maize Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) Good morning! I'm excited about a new online associates degree program from one of our state colleges--it's at your own pace, performance based like WGU--still under development so details are lacking but my understanding is you can keep working on a course until you pass all assessments for that course, but once you do show mastery of the material you pass the course with an "A"/4.0 GPA that would be transferable to other state schools. This relieves my primary stress over dual enrollment in high school which is the permanency of that college GPA if the child doesn't do well. Supposedly this will be available for fall semester this year. If it works out my high school planning just got a lot easier--I'd have my oldest two enroll for most of their schedule then I could focus my teaching where I like to focus it, which is mostly music and foreign language.
