Susan in TN Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Good morning! I woke up in the middle of the night to a Very Strong Storm. A tornado hit The Big City and eastward - that area somehow always gets the worst of it! My area is fine. The Big City has requested that only vital people go into town, so ds24's office is closed and I expect the girls' orchestra rehearsal will be cancelled for tonight. Dh and I are heading to polls and The AFSA in a couple minutes. Coffee! 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Morning. I am alive. It's cold again. But yesterday was so nice, I opened all the windows. Therefore, I am now sneezing like I have a cold, but it's the maple trees in the front yard irritating me. Thankfully, they don't have a long pollination period, and oak and pine never bother me. Other than the sneezing, I'm still fighting off a touch of post-project depression, but staying busy with other writing projects seems to be helping. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like trying to shop with a squirrel. Or 5 children in tow. We also mailed our amended tax forms and got crickets for Tiger the Bullfrog. The kids practiced quartet music for Friday's Old Lady Party and ds15 hid his dismay pretty well over having to play the two new Disney songs.

Wheres Toto Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I got a massive headache this afternoon during my last class. Then after tutoring, I suddenly started feeling off. Kind of nauseous, kind of hot flashy, kind of super tired. I took advil for the headache, ate some pretzels to see if it helped the stomach (it did but dd ate half of them so I also had a small pb sandwich when I got home). So I skipped the gym. And somehow my dog just knocked over two full baskets of clean laundry. ugh. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I have had a headache all day. 😞 The day wasn't all bad, though. I went to Starbucks for the First Time Ever. :) I met some friends there and that's where they picked. If the weather had been chilly I probably would have ordered coffee, but since it was nice I ordered a mango dragonfruit drink. It was ok. I will probably try something different if we go again. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I think I'll stay home instead of obeying the daily command. Morning. I'm drafting something, and reading my series, and working on the synopses, blurbs, and pitches for all four books because I have time to do that today. Other than that, I have to clean the kitchen. I don't want to clean the kitchen. But it is an imperative I can't ignore. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I got my hairs cut - Great Clips is having their $7 haircut sale. She did a good job, not that there's anything particularly difficult in cutting my hair. Then again, I'm not particular. I feel like there's something important that I'm forgetting to do. I had coffee, so it's not that. I think dh being home is throwing me off. I used Teledoc this morning because I need a prescription refilled. They didn't even call me - just phoned it into the pharmacy. Love that so much and it saved us a trip and the dr. visit co-pay. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 We had Taco Bell for dinner because we went to the gym, then had to go to home depot to pick up dirt, then went and got our taxes done. I'm setting up a bone yard for forensics this week (anthropology). Anyone have any other suggestions for what to do with a great big pile of dirt that's going to be in my classroom all next week? It's on plastic in a giant box. I'd rather it not get scattered around my whole classroom but it would be good to use it more than once. We won't have time to undo it this weekend (class is this Friday) so it has to stay there all next week. I'll cover the whole thing with plastic when it's not being used. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 9 hours ago, Susan in TN said: I ❤️ Taco Bell It was kind of funny, we drove by one Taco Bell as we left Home Depot and I didn't pull in because I didn't realize dh liked Taco Bell. I didn't think we had ever gone to a Taco Bell together. Which led to a long (well 15 minutes) discussion about how close TB is to our house (there's one less than 5 miles away), and that he does like it, and then a memory about one time we did go with oldest dd and I think I remember going with the younger kids once and trying a plain cheese in a taco shell with one kid and a plain meat in a taco shell for the other and I think ds (who is super super picky) actually ate cheese nachos there, and then we remembered another TB up by where our accountant is, that is the one we went to that one time with dd and I used to go to in the middle of the night before marrying dh because it's near where I used to live. So we stopped there because we ended up early for the accountant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Morning, Happy Thursday. Three classes today, then not really a teen hangout because I pretty much cancelled them but dd will hang out with her friend who is in the last class of the day with her while I do some cleaning up. First class today is Biology and we start dissections so dd is coming to help out since there's only 3 people in the class and they are all somewhat reluctant about dissections. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
