KrissiK Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Good Morning!!!! COFFEE!!!!!~D Saturday. I actually know what day it is because I slept in. It’s gonna be a warm one today. I really would like to go back to the nursersery and get one more rose bush. Apparently the Bush we thought was a regular rose was the root stock of a bush. The graft died and all that was left was the root stock that grew and grew and is not acceptable as a rose bush at all. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 OK so I think I just got all the end-of-year gift books ordered - literally made the list and ordered in the past 2 hours. Svengo. Usually it takes several days, so I'm pretty sure I have messed something up and/or paid way too much. Why is it that last year I could only find a (used) hardcover copy of The Power and the Glory in an ugly large-print edition, but this year there were tons of nice editions to choose from? So weird. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other kids are now jealous and want new mattress, too. Theirs are at least 8 yrs old. The Girl made blueberry lemon muffins but when I went to put them in the oven and pushed the oven light button, it made a loud popping sound and sparked then died. The hob (cooktop to you nonUK people) still works. Batter is now in the freezer and repair guy is coming Tuesday. We will be having pot meals.

Critterfixer Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Morning. Feeling groovy here, too. But I think it's due to my hair achieving dust mop status this week and the realization that if I don't buy some pants soon, I might be just wearing boxer shorts and a hole-infested t-shirt around and calling it good. Brought to you by the person in the long sleeve shirt, capris, and socks with big holes in them. I desperately need sandals to complete "the look". I'm calling it quarantine closet, circa 2020. I think this could be a thing. Other than that, I'm working on school schedules today, arguing about the "maturity" of writing for middle grade readers, drinking a hot cup of tea, washing laundry, and about to head into the enchanted forest to battle a mad mama Dryad. Don' t mess with baby trees. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Morning. I just woke up (and I'm EST). My schedule is getting completely turned around and I'm not liking it. I'm staying up too late, but if I go to bed earlier, I'm not sleeping anyway. I'm going to have to force myself to get up earlier. And get up off my a$$ more often. Dd and I have decided we're going to meet at the science center every day to work out. On nice days we'll walk. On crappy days we'll hit the punching bag or do other routines. There's plenty of room there plus two tvs that can show videos. She's having a few mental health problems (is seeing a therapist) and put on a lot of weight when she graduated college. I'm hoping getting out, being sort of social and the exercise combined will help both of us. Today's agenda - definitely laundry. I had to wear yoga pants to bed because I have no clean pj pants. I should do another activity pack to share but I kind of don't feel like it so I'll see how I feel once I have both cups of tea and wake up a little more. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of my yoga pants are "supportive" so somewhat tight/compressed around the belly. Very uncomfortable to sleep in. Whereas my pj pants are extra large mens flannel pj pants. SUPER comfortable. Youngest dd stole my drawstring waist pants even though she's a ton smaller than me. I had extra clothes for all of us at the science center and she had to change one day and took my pants instead of hers. She decided she liked them so kept them. When teaching I basically live in yoga pants and science-themed tshirts. Long sleeve or short sleeve depending on the time of year. I used to wear jeans but when I started doing yoga in the morning and walking after sometimes, I decided that if I had to change back and forth, I was less likely to do it. So I got slightly nicer, more fitted yoga pants since I was wearing them "publicly". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 My super hi-tech hiking shoe insoles came - now I need to go on a hike in them and see if they help or if I have to go find a new pair of trail shoes. Dh is mildly nauseating in that he does not play the ukulele or banjo, but can pick up the banjolele and within 45 seconds play something that actually sounds like music. I, on the other hand, have been practicing for weeks and am barely up to a recognizable Oh Susanna.
