Susan in TN Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Good morning! We played 2 new games yesterday - "Run Cowboy Run" and "5 Second Rule". They were both a lot of fun. Then we watched "A Christmas Story". A college friend is coming over to say hi this morning and my brother and SIL are going sledding with us this afternoon. Might snow a bit more today. Coffee! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Dh just left to bring his mom back home. He'll be back home tomorrow or Tuesday. I really REALLY need to cut down on the sugar. I've been eating way too many cookies and candy and cakes, and it makes my joints ache. Especially baked goods. I can do good quality candy without too much trouble so I'll just have to stick with the Ferrero Roche and the Ghirardelli and Godiva, and leave the Hershey's and Reece's to dd. 😁 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Morning. My foot is almost ready to start walking again, but it still hurts a bit too much at a light walk for me to say it's ready. Going to give it the day off and see what it's like tomorrow. It's the top of the foot in the bones, which is really strange. But my surface is very uneven and there's a lot of twisting and turning. Might start back on the asphalt and avoid the gravel for a few weeks. Other than that, there is caffeine, year end assessments, and art today. Also writing. There's writing every day. It's how I thrive. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) So, today isn’t starting off all that great. Misty-cat threw up on the kitchen floor and the Afsa cancelled my grocery order. Well, I am not that disappointed about the Afsa. I made that order with some trepidation because they haven’t been all that reliable lately. Perhaps this was a sign. I guess I will go to Savemart instead sometime today. They are significantly more expensive and they do not carry Ezekiel bread, which the Afsa has, but they are much more convenient and they don’t make me mad. oh wow, this is my third Booya/h in a row. Do I get a prize or something?? Should I make some kind of speech?? Edited December 28, 2020 by KrissiK 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Morning. It's Monday but definitely a vacation Monday. I slept in until 9:30am, now I'm leisurely having my tea. Dh is still at his moms until tomorrow. On today's agenda: Exercise - I tried some Tai Chi videos yesterday. I can't do yoga at home because the dog "helps" so I'm hoping this will work to get some movement when I'm not at the science center. Dd and I should be getting back to our morning yoga tomorrow. Take ornaments off the tree, maybe. I can't get the tree itself down without dh's help so I'm deciding if I feel like doing it or will just wait. Work on classes. I'm hoping to have most of the year planned out by the end of the week. Work on school plans 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Servant4Christ Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Crack me up, Oldest thinks he's soooo smart now because he figured out a pattern with equivalent fractions that I never learned in school. The lesson was supposed to be teaching him to multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number to make an equivalent fraction. However, he figured out all he has to do is skip count and it works. So for the fraction 2/3: he skip counts by 2 on top and 3 on bottom. I ended up saying, "alright, give me an equivalent fraction for 63/88." Then I proceeded to teach him how to find the lowest equivalent fraction, too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Late this afternoon I was at the pharmacy getting prescriptions. My doctor had recommended that I get the shingles vaccine and so I asked about it. They said "how about now?" It wasn't what I was planning but I went ahead and got it. I have a bit of a sore arm but so far no other side effects. Of course most of the side effects of the vaccine are what I feel every single day with fibromyalgia so I might not know if I'm having side effects. . . . 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am able to make pretty good choices regarding stop/push when my ankles, feet, or knees are hurting, but I'm not sure where the stop/push point is when it's my wrist, hands, or shoulders.
