Junie Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Some lady just came to my door (socially distanced, thankfully). She was doing a survey? I think? about solar something? She talked so fast that I couldn't understand her. I blamed it on the migraine. I understood more in Spanish church last night than I did with this lady... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I ended up teaching my STEM class how to make paper lanterns yesterday. We started off doing the paper chain challenge with pre-cut strips (different widths, lengths, etc to discuss what would make longest chains. While they made their chains I did a ball out of the strips that they called a lantern, which gave me the idea to make the lanterns where you fold the paper, cut strips into it, then roll it into a circle. They got a real kick out of it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I cleaned my son's room today so my snow day wasn't so relaxing. It needed to be done, something was stinky in there (beyond the normal teen boy stank). I'm not sure I found what it was but it smells better now so I guess whatever it was has been dealt with. It's a real toss-up which of my kids is the grossest. Clearly none of them got any neatnick genes. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) 'Twas a possessive pronoun. I am completely exhausted and writing isn't done. But I got all the cooking for the week finished, and people all ate well today, including me. Tomorrow is leftovers for dinner and sandwiches for lunch. Night two on the couch and the cats have already assembled. They are fairly sure I can't sleep without them. The problem is there's not much room on a couch for one human and two cats.

Sounds just like my schedule! Tomorrow, I only have two classes: one is a new one I decided to try- teaching about different winter holidays in Latin America. Then, I'm off for two weeks! No classes whatsoever, not even my side hustles. The cleaning I will do will take all of next year, so I'm focusing on certain things. Then the second week, I get to focus on curriculum writing. I love writing. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I am not kicked out of PT yet! Each session I get is another win as I doubt that working even with a personal trainer will be quite as effective. Today I upped my weights a tiny bit (two whole pounds!) but now my shoulders are very sore as a result. With fibromyalgia I have to proceed so slowly when trying to increase difficulty. Also - she said that I have to go back to one of the exercises I absolutely hate! But with less reps so that it won't give me the cramping that I was having. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Good morning! It's Friday! I forgot to have afternoon coffee yesterday, so my head is being a butt this morning. Plus, Sir Pups-a-lot was barking and whining until all hours of the night because he could hear dd22 talking to friends in her room and was feeling left out of the party. 🙄 The kids are playing Silent Night for dh's zoom work meeting this morning, then dd11 will get started on the ginger cake for our family lessons & carols service tonight. Other than that I just have a bit more embroidery to do and get a couple things in the mail. And I suppose I should finally get that laundry put away that's been sitting here since Tuesday.

Wheres Toto Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Morning. Last day! My elbow has been sore for a few weeks now. I thought I slept on it funny but it's not getting better. Maybe I just keep sleeping on it funny. I had trouble sleeping last night. I feel congested and slightly wheezy but I'm 99% sure its from cleaning ds's room yesterday. The dust was pretty bad and I sprinkled quite a bit of baking soda around. I used my inhaler this morning for the first time in forever and realized it expires this month. So I guess I should get a refill one of these days. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) I had an extremely bad pain night. I even got up and took pain meds but somehow that made things worse. It was PT induced. No Xena exercises today. But I will get my step goal. And then tomorrow I will try the very same exercises again that put me in pain. (No, I am not a masochist but there seems to be no way forward without some pain - the only question is how much and how long and what is my stupid body and how much is injury- which of course I want to avoid).
