PoisonHemlock Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 4 minutes ago, Servant4Christ said: I've been dealing with headaches off and on throughout this pregnancy (though nowhere near as much now as in the first trimester) and a little caffeine helps when Tylenol doesn't. So, last night I made myself a cup of iced tea because the weather was just too hot for coffee.... OH MY GOODNESS! I couldn't get to sleep! There must be a LOT more caffeine in the tea than in my coffee. I think the caffeine in tea is somehow different from coffee. I didn't drink coffee for a few years, but had black tea every day. Then I had a cup of coffee and I was SO jittery. It was ridiculous! I now drink them interchangeably, but I can often feel a difference in my body between them. I hope you get to sleep tonight! Maybe try green tea in the afternoon? I used to make that with just a touch of cream and sugar and have it cold over ice in the afternoon. It was like green tea ice cream that way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned my lesson on this one with Wheel of Time. 13 or 14 long books only to find out the author died before the last one. Took years before his nephew or son or somebody finally wrote the last one. Now I have to reread the entire series in order to finish. 12 hours ago, Renai said: Divergent!

Wheres Toto Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Morning, It's Friday. Meeting dd to workout as usual. It's icky out so I think we're doing inside stuff again. We've been doing some strength workouts but my back aches on one side today, the side that I occasionally "pull" and wind up in pain. So I may need to take it easier. I think we're doing legs today anyway, not back/arms. For our summer schedule, I'm giving the kids the same amount of work, just giving them two weeks to do it. I don't think either of them have done any yet this week. Granted it was a short week, then dd going to the hospital but they need to work that out if they don't want to lose free time. I spread it out so we'd have time to go to the lake. Which we also didn't do this week except briefly on Tuesday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 PlanPo I have so many books in my Amazon cart right now. I just keep thinking how much I will not want to keep treking to the library here. It was great when DS was younger and we lived in PA. We were close enough to the library extension to walk. Now it's really not that far, but there's Tampa traffic to contend with by the time I get off work. Still, I have a lot more listed as ones to "borrow" that buy. But those main readings are definitely being purchased. Right? Say yes. I have been so close to hitting purchase for two days now. And then I add another book, and think, "Well, there may be others..." This is why I don't have an Amazon membership.

Renai Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I woke up kinda early. I told all my online prek-ers and Gymnast that all the orugas would be in chrysalis by the end of the weekend. They've been fighting for upside down space all afternoon yesterday. They wouldn't let one of them up. Gymnast was worried. I told her he'll find a spot once the other ones that are slightly ahead in readiness settle down. Of course, I was right. 5am, they were all upside down and still, except the 6th who finally found a spot. At 7am, one was in a chrysalis. Now at 8am, two are in a chrysalis. The 6th is still just lying there (not upside down yet). This has been the Saga of the Painted Butterfly Orugas. Stay tuned. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Morning. My house is a wreck too. I really need to do something about it. I've been in a funk all week. Not sure why, although how good do you expect a week to be when it starts with a trip to the emergency room? I need to got over it and get things done. Only thing I'm accomplishing is working out with dd. And that does leave me feeling energized and freer, but we don't meet until 1pm so not much time left to get things done after. Maybe we should meet earlier..... Exercise and eating semi-well are the only areas I'm doing things right. Before all this crap I was doing so well at getting up at a decent hour, going to bed at a decent hour, using my planner, getting things done. Now it's all gone to ****. And I don't know how to get it back. I do soooooo much better with outside accountability. I'm cranky. and probably hormonal. and tired. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
