Lynette has finally perked up this summer after turning into a bare twig over the winter indoors. I don't know. This is my first year having them, and it could go horribly. I do have a cool, sunny room. That's where they will spend the winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no oatmeal made to eat, and I've been really wanting a McDonald's bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit. I know. Gross. But I do love those. Anyway, I came home and made Sara lee 45 cal toast, fried an egg, and made a sandwich with egg, cheese, and leftover pork tenderloin. Yum!! Hopefully that will kill this craving.

Susan in TN Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 My brain is not wanting to function. Part of it is probably a bit of dehydration but mostly the lack of sleep due to everything hurting. So basically like Slachey.

73349 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I schooled and erranded. And cleaned some. DH is making dinner. Has anybody noticed this online shopping trend? You buy a thing. You get a confirmation email, "You bought a thing!"🎉 Then soon after, you get another email: "We shipped your thing!" 🎉 but if you look, they did not ship the thing. They merely put a shipping sticker on it. Then they wait maybe a week to hand it over to the carrier. How have you "shipped it" if you still have it? And then good luck with the rest. I just had to ask a company to file a claim with FedEx, who admitted when called that they have no idea where my package went on or after the 22nd, but they touched it last. USPS is like Wheel of Fortune with whether it will be my lucky day and they will bring me my package, which I believe is at a facility less than a mile away as the crow flies and not much farther with a postal truck. (Google Maps recommends walking it.) I'm just tryna keep my kid covered, y'all. Really just the lower half: it's pantz that took at least a week to get out the door, PJ bottoms that are lost, underwear that may or may not arrive today after not arriving any of the last several days. 👖 If they don't hurry up, he's going to outgrow them before they get here. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Our max holds is 35. Seems fair. 😁 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73349 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Our hold limit is 30, but they count against you until you have them. So if you're 200th in line for a book, it counts against you the whole time you're waiting. And once a book is ready, you have to make an appointment before you can go get it. Unfortunately, without being able to browse, DS is not discovering new things to read. I've pulled a few things for him that I've seen on reading lists, but he's reading mostly stuff from silly series. Maybe for Christmas, there will be books. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Our internet went out at the end of my mandolin lesson, so my teacher was Skype-frozen for a few minutes. It's finally fixed. Ds25 had a work meeting with some software developers in Russia, and I suspect they hacked into our system. Lol. That was a joke. Dd11 is feeling a bit better. She tends to have digestive issues and I am thinking she might want to cut back on dairy and see if that helps. The girls are lining up on my bed to get their turn to be petted. Also, they are swatting at each other. Who needs cats when you have teenage girls!?!? 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have 16. I can only find about 8. We use them as swaddle blankets, covers for baby carriers and strollers, burp rags, clothes. We were gifted a four pack with our first and needed to buy a second right away. When we had our daughter we bought a girly set. When our third was born we saw value in a fourth set. We are getting by by throwing any of the dirty ones directly into the washing machine so that when that days load is done we get clean blankies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love gardens but I am such a lousy gardener. There was a TV series back in the day called "Faerie Tale Theater," hosted by Shelly Duval. My favorite one was "The Princess and the Pea," with LIza Minelli. The Queen was in her garden one day, accompanied by the gardener, she in her queenly finery, he with a pair of shears and a basket. She fussed at him and fluttered her hands as he continued snipping flowers ("I love working with my hands," said she). After her conversation with the prince, while the gardener continued snipping away, she went and sat down, with her black lacy parasol, and said my favorite line, "Oh, I do so love to garden!"

Wheres Toto Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Morning. I'm sleeping in a little bit more lately. I don't know if it's because it's staying dark outside longer or the cookies I'm eating in the evening. I usually don't have that much sugar. I guess I should stop. Stressful week this week both at home and the classroom. The classroom stuff will be over after tomorrow, but the house is going to take a while to get back in order. I just have to keep telling myself it will be great once its done. Guy is coming to pump out the septic today so that much will be working again, thankfully. The other stuff is more long term. dh is going to visit his mom this weekend so not too much will be getting done. I'll try to do some cleaning this weekend since I'm slowly getting ahead on class planning. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
