Spuds - yes, to be brave and cheerful is what I need too. Junie, your dds are so talented! And that they have taught themselves is a testimony of their patience, perseverance, and joy in what they are doing. ❤️ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It rained all night and with everything that’s been going on, I was kind of expecting it to be a flood or something outside, but no. it’s the same as usual. Just wet. The older two will be home.

Susan in TN Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Good morning! It's The Queen's favorite day! We are still plugging away with lessons. The kids have been doing zoom classes for a couple weeks now, so they are pros at it. Tonight they are having a zoom scout meeting and tomorrow dd11 is having a zoom orchestra class. There are 3 extra people having soup for dinner on Mondays now, so I am adding a bit more broth and extra veggies to the freezer soups. Tonight is creamy corn chowder. I can't figure out why my iPad will single space, then double space on these posts. Press return, single space. Press return again, double space. So weird.

Critterfixer Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Morning! School here, too. I've already been berated for the number of history questions I assigned. I told them to look at science. Oh, not very many. Bingo. Other than that, I'm going to keep up with chores, write, and probably make something for dinner.

We had a dusting of snow this morning (we were only supposed to get rain) and now there's ice coating everything. I'm going to stay home for now and try again later. 😕 I wanted to do some yoga (cant do at home with dog), some cleaning, feed/take care of animals.

Critterfixer Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I am not in my pajamas. But I'm in my house clothes, which is probably much the same thing. I'm slowly managing some cleaning. Still wear out quickly, though. After that, I think I'll settle in, turn off the world, and write for a while. As much as I like to stay in touch with events and people, right now most things are depressing me and making me want to yell, which isn't good, because then I'd start coughing. Thank goodness for ITT, the happy place! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the few groceries I needed. Got to the cashier and realized that I left my purse and money at home! Cashier kindly stored my groceries while I walked home with Juliet. I grabbed my money and my car and drove back to pay. At least I got a good walk and still ended up with groceries! 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Since I haven't had to drive people hither and yon, I've had more free time. I've been practicing Spanish and ASL more frequently. I may be tri-lingual by the time we get through this. I *might* have a clean house, too; however, my RA has been acting up, so it's been hard to do anything physical. My headaches were much better this week, so I went (I think) six days without taking tylenol. I think this caused my RA to flare up a little bit. Oh, and clearly insomnia is still an issue. 😉 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I was productive yesterday. I rewrote a chapter in one of my novels that I'd like to revise in April, cleaned my bathroom, and swept and mopped the bedroom. Most I've done since I got sick. Still coughing quite a bit in the mornings, but I'm down to two doses of cough medicine and the occasional cough drop when I get going. DH is due to start working from home soon. We aren't sure how it will all work, but it's quite likely I just won't be using the internet a lot while he's home due to data usage stuff required for his work. Not a huge deal. I'll still get on to post here, and do a few other things. And staying off social media and not looking at the news more than once a day is probably a good thing. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if my insurance would even cover it, but with all that's going on, I can't imagine not at least looking into it. I don't want to risk the lives of my entire household for the comfort of a hospital and an epidural. I'd feel so selfish! I've had no complications with my other births. Maybe this will all blow over by my due date, but with the projections on the news this morning, I'm definitely asking my OB during our phone appointment next week. A lot of insurance is covering home births, or at least the people that do home births. In NM, they cover from midwives all the way up to obgyns, but it is up to the person whether they do home births. Something to look into. I had a good team with my midwife and gp.

There's the first Magic Treehouse book for those that would benefit from something fairly simple. You could get the print book from Amazon and follow along (I'm trying that because my reading level in Japanese is very low). they've also got selections in Spanish, French, German, and Italian as well. Also, gardenmom5 posted on the chat board that Rosetta Stone is offering three months free, looks like you can choose any language. I was very disappointed there was no Mandarin. Rosetta Stone - yep, any language, and if you decide to buy, they had recently added a plan where you can do unlimited languages for life for under $200. (Did I mention I work for RS?)
