KrissiK Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I gotta think of something to make for dinner. I am getting so burnt out of cooking. And I need to go to the store and I don’t want to. The whole atmosphere of the outside world is just.... foreboding. Even going to the store stresses me out.

It is very easy and yummy. You don’t cook it, and I bought a basil plant at the grocery store (paid a fortune for it, but everywhere is out of basil) so I had fresh basil and fresh parsley and it was super good. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to have lost power sometime during the night when some storms came through, but it came back on about an hour ago.

Critterfixer Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Happy Nirthday, Baby Kernel! I may not be around much this week. I have time to be around, but our satellite internet downgraded us to carrier pigeon, and I'm having to wait for five minutes or more just to load a page, so I won't be trying to ketchup. I need to plant plants today and get cleaning done. We ended up with extra tomatoes, and now I have to figure out where we can grow these extra plants. They are extra yummy varieties, so I want them in the ground for sure. Just where is going to be fun. The boys are doing school, but over half their day is now spent out in the garden working. It's just huge this year, and more pumpkins that we thought weren't coming up have started to come up (in my tomato pots no less) and so that's been fun. The pumpkins look to be giant ones, which means they grow fast and take over the pot, so I'm moving tomatoes like crazy. I've not been shopping. DH goes Sunday as we've always done, and sometimes I get what I ask for and sometimes I don't. Mostly we get along okay. I'm just really glad my kids don't have any online classes right now, or things would be rough! But yes, it's feeling very weird right now. I'm trying to extend a little bit of grace to everyone, including myself. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I'm back at the office today. I miss my pjs. And my dog. Not the family, just the dog. 😀 They took my temperature. Apparently that is enough for them to determine I am not sick with Covid-19. Insert eyeroll. The lights are really bright here. They were hurting my eyes. I'm now sitting in the dark. I can't seem to focus on anything for any length of time. Everything here is so distracting. Bah humbug.

I'm all off because every day is exactly like the day before. Especially with dh down at his moms. I don't even have him working less on his computer. I guess the kids didn't do school, but once I set things up, I don't really "see" them doing it anyway. Speaking of which, I didn't set up school. I'm thinking of switching to 4 days worth of school now so as the weather gets nicer we can get out more. State and county parks reopened and I'm hoping people are smart and they stay that way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being sick while pregnant and unable to take anything to relieve the symptoms is the worst. Probably peanuts compared to what you're going through, but I remember catching the flu while nearing the end of my first trimester with Youngest and being absolutely terrified I'd miscarry because NOTHING would stay down and I thought surely the baby would starve if we both didn't. I'll continue to pray you get some relief soon. Thank you. I am on medicine but it makes me sleep. And it's not 100% effective, but waaaay better than before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to a store to find hiking boots/shoes for dd13 this morning. She is wearing size 9.5 so I am hoping her feet don't grow any more and these will last a good long time.

I didn't get back to sleep until after 6. Probably salmon for dinner, although we might have fajitas because it's Cinco de Mayo. More Star Wars tonight because according to my kids it's Revenge of the Fifth. (I think it should be Revenge of the Sixth, so we might be watching Star Wars again tomorrow.)

Dh is still down with his mom. She evidently had an episode last night of trouble breathing, super high blood pressure and swollen ankles. EMT's think it's CHF.

She was lazy, but generally pleasant to be around. We moved away, dark magic happened, and now she's just awful. When she wants something she doesn't move, she just screams (not yells, but screams) until it's brought to her. This is one of about 20 traits that are displayed multiple times an hour that I just can't stand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
