They would swarm your head every time you stepped outside. It took s very brave person to mow the lawn.

Heat treatment on first room is officially in progress now. I haven't had bed bugs but a lot of people in Cincinnati did. It was a hassle, but it was manageable. It should not be a huge source of stress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I don't know if Cincinnati was particularly bad. I was a groomer and they would come in on dogs, so from my perspective it was the worst I have ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to complain about my uterus, but in perspective of fire, pestilence, plague, and tumeric explosions I have no complaints- Aunt Flo has nothing on those. Also, my puppy eats cicadas so if anyone needs to borrow her let me know. We are at art. I am alone in a quiet dining room while they are arting in the art room and having a ball. Bliss. I always complain about my uterus. Feel free. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Hi, I'm done and home. I was home about 3:30 but got a call that my glasses were in so I ran to pick them up. I was tired of wearing crappy glasses. The day went well. I had 6,000 steps by 1pm even though I was basically in the same room all day. Kids seemed to have fun, new teacher is doing great. I teach 4 classes tomorrow so that's going to be a long day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 26 minutes ago, ThatBookwormMom said: Lol. You guys are funny. It wasn't technically Dr. Google, it was Healthline, and they said PCOS is identified as a low-grade chronic inflammation autoimmune disease, so the goal is to calm the inflammation as much as possible. Caffeine should be ideally cut completely, but we all know *that* isn't going to happen, so green tea is the acceptable alternative. I know it's time to make some changes, real changes, because my body keeps telling me so and getting worse. I've had a low grade headache for four days running, for example, and they're getting more frequent. But all the changes suggested are just overwhelming. I need to stop looking at it for awhile, make small changes, and reevaluate after moving, settling in, & getting school running. I'm just tired of feeling bad, and it seems particularly stupid to feel bad when I have a diagnosis and a fairly clear path to handle it. I guess what I'm saying is I'm 5 inside and I'm throwing a tantrum over candy. (((Aethelryth))) Complain away. We get it. How's the treatment coming, Servant? Toto! Are you done yet? Lol. How were classes? Understandable. Gluten and dairy are big changes. Whatever you decide to do, do it in baby steps. One thing at a time. Or at least find a suitable alternative to pizza before you give up both. (((Hugs))) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ankle acts up with the post surgical arthritis and it’s surprisingly annoying and debilitating. I hope the soak helps yours, that’s a great idea. Pounding some NSAIDs if you tolerate them is my other go to 👀 I'll definitely take some Advil if it hurts at bedtime. It actually doesn't hurt until I put weight on it, so shouldn't be a problem sleeping. I'm supposed to meet dd to walk/yoga in the morning but I also have 4 classes tomorrow instead of 3, plus younger kids so I'll be doing more walking around so I'm thinking of cancelling. Maybe I'll just push her to just some yoga. I just finished setting up an Excel spreadsheet to figure out taxes and print paystubs for my employee.

I have been gluten free for 12 years. It's hard at first, but it gets easier. Dairy free, imo, is harder -- especially if you are also gluten free. I did it while I was nursing dd10 and it was hard. I was thankful that I only had to do both restrictions for a few months. That being said, I'm sure that it is easier now as there are a lot more products available. Upper end grocery stores that have designated specialty sections will be your friend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Good Morning! Happy Tuesday! I ended up with a bad headache last night. A shower helped and I went to bed early. And then I woke up early and had some nice quiet time in solitude. (And, my ear just popped. That was weird.) I'm guessing something is off with my sinuses... Anyway, more science planning today. And more language and Bible study. (I am currently doing online Bible studies in English, Spanish, and ASL.) OK, time to open the bedroom door and stop hiding. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Good morning! Ds's cello lesson was cancelled today, so I have no where to go ALL DAY! Yippee! I had a conversation with everyone in the family last night about ignoring the barking puppy in the morning until he gave up. He has been barking earlier and earlier every morning for the past couple weeks until he's wanting me at 4am and I've been getting up to get him because I didn't want to wake everyone up, but it has become ridiculous. So he started barking at 3:40 this morning, but that only lasted a couple minutes. Then he started again at 5:30 and barked and whined and howled for 20 minutes and then he was quiet. Dh got up at about 6:15 and puppy was still quiet even watching dh get his shoes on and stuff, so dh took him on a walk. Then of all miracles, I attached him to my door handle and he just rested there in the room with me without eating everything in reach while I exercised for 45 minutes. It's the first morning in weeks that I have felt mostly human! I went to the Slowjam last night and it was a lot of fun. Learned a couple new tunes. It's a friendly bunch, and that is encouraging. It will be a while before I'm ready for the Regular Jams. Coffee! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
