Susan in TN Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I made myself a sugar-free root beer float. A can of root beer Zevia, a couple tablespoons of vanilla protein shake, and a coffee ice cube (for color). It's pretty good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Dishes are done. I need to read. I’ve gotten some pretty heavy books lately. I’m in the middle of another heavy memoir (another WWII era book, little Hungarian Jewish girl’s experience during the war). I need a light, but good summer read after I am done with this book. A nice, well written, not trashy novel. Anyone have any suggestions? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually here too - dh's job. But then I end up with dirty towels to wash - there's something about fluid mechanics that escapes his comprehension.

Wheres Toto Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Morning. Today is my long day. Algebra then workout with dd. Dh is heading down to his mom's house again for a few days. I'm feeling tired and blah again lately. I think it's from the heat. it's been super hot, some thunderstorms (barometric pressure bugs me), and air quality warnings. So no wonder, right? We did get an air purifier to try out at home because we plan to get them for the science center when we open again. I have a Happy Planner that I was finally using effectively before all this happened. I have to-dos and stuff but my planner still has my classes/summer camp stuff in it so I don't want to use it because it's depressing. Plus most of my to-dos carry over from week to week so using a planner isn't as effective. I'm debating if I want to print new pages and try to use it again, or just let it go until things are more back to normal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I spent the afternoon taking my dad to the doctor. I've never taken him to the doctor before, I've probably seen him once in the past year, at Christmas, and talk to him once a month or so. We have a complicated relationship due to his previous wife not liking that he had kids. I didn't talk to him for about 10 years until she died. But I got a call today that he had an important doctors appointment and his (current) wife's legs hurt so she couldn't drive him, and he can't drive anymore (he's 82). I was in the middle of working out with dd and the science center/my house are 45 minutes to an hour from his house, and then another 30-45 minutes from his house to the doctor back in my direction. And he called at 12:50 for a 2pm appointment. So didn't really make it there "on time" but we weren't super late. His wife wanted me to go in with him so I could hear what the doctor says since dad is hard of hearing, but it was urologist and no way was I staying in during the exam. She didn't send paperwork they were supposed to fill out, I had no idea about his medications, I didn't even know what kind of doctor until we got there. So super awkward. Then got him back home and went in to tell her what I knew, and she was locked in the bedroom and didn't come out. I couldn't stay long because I'm allergic to their cats and the places reeked. I almost immediately couldn't breathe. So, now I'm worried I've started a precedent, which isn't a huge deal while I'm not working but will be an issue in September. I did tell them I needed a little more notice if he needed a ride because I won't always be able to drop everything and drive like crazy to take him. Now I'm tired. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 EdPo Warning. read at yer own risk. It’s science. We started Beautiful Feet‘s History of Science at the end of the year because we finished Apologia about 2 months early. But now I don’t know what to do. I think we all kind of liked the Beautiful Feet, but it is way way different than Apologia and Apolgia is familiar and easy and we all really kinda like life science better anyway. But I have all the books for BF. I just wish it came with a lab kit. I suppose I could put one together over the summer. I’m just too lazy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes there's mobile toenail clippings for $10, free rides, free meals. But there's often an office that handles the whole shebang. Then you can get the info and pass it on as needed. I found an elder daycare for FIL. They pick him up in a handicapped accessible van, take him to the daycare where they have chess tournaments and knitting and swimming classes. They feed him a diabetic friendly lunch and drive him home. I had NO IDEA things like that existed! Completely free, no strings. So find out what's out there because you really don't know. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We heard this rumbling and the house started creaking and shaking and the ceiling fans started swaying. We all ran under the door ways. It was in Lone Pine, which, I think, as the crow flies, is about 60 miles from us. But it’s up in the mountains. And then five minutes after everyone’s phone signaled an emergency alert that we were having an earthquake, would experience some shaking and to take shelter in a secure location. And I’m like, “seriously dude?? It’s done. ” Whoever designed an emergency alert for earthquakes is an absolute idiot, 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
