Junie Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I wanted to make waffles last week, but I'm running low on gf baking mixes. I have to make a triple batch and there are only one or two waffles left over. Dd17 is going to have to get used to waffles that aren't orange. :) I use baby food sweet potatoes instead of the oil. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Morning. My "workout early, get stuff done" plan has worked so far. Was home from working out with dd by noon, had lunch and cleaned the kitchen. Wiped the outside of all the cabinets (they were BAD), cleaned out the microwave, finished up the dishes. Still had time to do some work on classes, watch a movie with dh, and got to bed relatively early. I'm working on straightening up the house this week, then dh and the kids are going to his mom's this weekend. I'm going to bug bomb the house (we do it twice a year, old house in the woods means it gets overwhelming in Spring and Fall), then spend the weekend doing a deeper cleaning. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Good morning! It's The Queen's favorite day! Happy June!

ikslo Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Hi, Heather! Today and tomorrow are testing days for us. It was a bit of a slow start, and I had to delete Norton from the computer because it didn’t like the testing platform, but we’re underway now. Hoping results are good so I can submit results to the state rather than having to pursue an end-of-year evaluation. Thinking maybe tonight should be a movie night. With popcorn. And Swedish Fish. Proctoring tests is boring. I tried reading, but I need a good book. I picked up DS’s assigned reading since it was there, but The Red Badge of Courage just isn’t what I feel like right now for just passing the time, you know? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cross-legged Booyah! I couldn't sit cross-legged for a long time. It was partially due to an ankle injury that took forever to heal and putting pressure on the side of my ankle hurt. It's much better now and I'm still awkward on one side, but doing yoga seems to have helped immensely. I had to run to Target after working out today. I had bathing suits for dd to return, but our scale also stopped working. We've had it forever. I stepped on it three times, letting it shut down completely in between, and got three different readings with the highest and lowest 9 pounds apart. So I figured that wasn't good. Target only had one scale in stock and it was more than I wanted to pay but it will measure all kinds of things and work with Fitbit app over bluetooth so maybe it will be good. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be they weren’t powerful enough, could beI am too much of a pessimist for the placebo effect. I’m kind of turned off by supplements (and chiropractors) bc I’m surrounded by people who swear by them and spend a lot of money on them and yet never seem to get better and are always looking for the next thing. May be an atypical bad personal experience This isn't a supplement but a full replenishing. You do it for a few days and then stop until you go on antibiotics again or a drinking binge. I did supplements before but not the quality ITT recommended and didn't see a difference. I have never heard of this concept and I'm intrigued.

Crazy times. You too! Congrats to your guy. Our group is hoping to have a grad, although the plans be a changin’ left and right. DS was chosen to speak, which was pretty special. The local high school got all of their senior spring athletes (both of my guys are varsity tennis there) big picture posters and hung them alongside the football field for a drive by parade, which was very cool. (It was especially cool that the athletic office remembered and included my DS, considering he doesn’t even go to school there, lol.) I still don’t know that we are going to even try to do a party... that might be pushing our luck. I have no interest in getting sick again this year. Six weeks in Jan/Feb was more than enough for this chick.) But, at least he is getting some fun, memorable stuff:) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Morning. I have to be on Facebook because of my business. 95% of my students come through Facebook. I have unfollowed most of the people whose views I can't stand, because I'd be too tempted to argue with them. And I try to stay out of politics, again because of the business. I'm also one of the admins to a local homeschool group, and have pages for my two 4-H groups. So, yeah I'm never going to get to leave. Yesterday after working out, I planted some seedings in our garden. Peas, beans, and two kinds of tomatoes. Dh ordered a bunch of seeds that are coming from overseas I think, but they are trickling in super late. But I'm planting them at the science center until they are big enough to go outside. We'll see how it goes. This is late but not super late for our area, and we've planted seedings in June in the past and been fine. I'm going to order heirloom seeds in the fall so that they'll definitely be here by spring next year. Although, we ended up having snow a couple weeks ago, so being more prepared may have backfired this year. Todays plan is the usual. Workout, clean house, relax - in that order. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
