Susan in TN Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I have dealt with things including Monday soup, short walk around the cul-de-sac with pup, paying bills by mail and online, cleaning Wally (the robot vac), and making a Phone Call. It is time for my annual On-The-Road-For-Christmas Hotel Hunt, though this year we will need to find a hotel that will allow a dog. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 We redid Mary's room. We had to move some furniture in from the boys because they decided they wanted Isaac. He's not moving yet, but I'm not doing more than one room a day. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Afternoon. I am doing all the things. It's incredibly windy and we have fire danger posted (because it's dry and windy). So much for a bonfire in October. We'll wait for November. Bigger chance there will be plenty of rain to make things safe. It's a huge brush pile. We need a lot of rain to make it safe. My thoughts on the dog is Catahoula Mix. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 So the kitchen ceiling has been mostly knocked down. Tomorrow I start bagging construction debris. It was interesting to remember that the last time we did this level of construction was when I was pregnant with my almost 19 year old. Hauling the big bags of construction debris sent me into contractions and my OB/GYN yelled at me for trying to be "Xena". I am almost 19 years older now but I"m also not pregnant, so it might even out. 😉 I am still trying to be Xena. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Our construction has been on hold for two days due to rain. Dh is going to end up working from home when he can't work on the house, then working on the house whenever he can. Evidently his boss is fine with this because he still gets all his work done. I'm not okay with it because that means my house is going to be a disheveled wreck longer, but it's not like I can control the weather so I guess I just go with it. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I need a name for a class. My other teacher does classes called Pre-K Explorers and Junior Scientists. When the new session starts, I'm going to be switching some classes to the "Junior Science" type, which is a general explore science class for K-2nd graders. It's always been my most popular classes since I started doing this. I want the Jr Science classes I teach to be called something different than the ones she teaches because I've had people ask about doing both. This is certainly possible because we have VERY different styles and things we do, but I dont' want to have to keep explaining that. She does themes, with songs, games, experiments, etc. I tend to do very messy experiments/demonstrations randomly. I don't want to change the name of her classes because she's already been doing them this year, mine will be new so I'd rather use a different name for mine.

Susan in TN Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 In other news, my shoulder pain made a sudden appearance this morning. It was severe enough that I was having trouble breathing. I had it x-rayed the last time it popped up and there wasn't anything to see there, so I am wondering where I should take it to get looked at. I feel pretty certain that it's nerve pain, and it seems weirdly connected to my digestive system. (I think the breathing issue is only because my lungs expanding must somehow press on the nerve area. Once the ibuprofin kicked in, I could breath fine.) I suppose it could be a tendon or something. The pain generally comes on very suddenly and goes away after a day or two. And then I'm fine for 6 months or a year. Is this something I should take to a chiropractor? There are a couple highly reputable ones in my area who do scans and whatnot. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) I don't think it's heart related. I checked into pancreatitis, but I don't have any other symptoms. Being a violinist, I kind of expect to have shoulder and/or neck issues, so that's kind of where I'm starting - it just seems to hit so randomly.

KrissiK Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Well, it has been a fun and exciting morning. I took DD to school and on the way my tire pressure light came on. I am proud of myself for not panicking, I was not far from her school, so I drove near there and parked on a side street where I was safe. DD got out and walked the rest of the way. I had a large nail in my tire. I called DH, who works 45 minutes away, but still offered to come change it for me. Instead I called DS who was a 15 minute skateboard ride away (so glad we live in a small town) and he changed my tire for me. We drove to Les Schwab and they are fixing it. I am proud of myself because I have a tendency to freak out when things like this happen and I was very calm this time. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
