luuknam Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I think I've mentioned before we were planning on traveling around the US at some point. So, in April we bought a 32' travel trailer, and we've been living in it full-time since the end of June. First a few months in WNY to wrap up things there, then to AL to visit the in-laws for Broccoli's birthday and thanksgiving, then on to TX, where we're still at now. A couple of days ago we got to Terlingua, and I decided I should look up if Kinsa was still Kinbb, which she isn't, but hey, here I am. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Normally I wake up very slowly. I initially wake up, glance at my watch, snuggle with Juliet, maybe dose off a bit more if my initial wake up was on the early side. . . But this morning I woke up, glanced at my watch and Juliet bolted out of bed and ran frantically for the door. Which of course meant that I had to bolt out of bed and run frantically to open the door for her. My day got a jump start! And Juliet made it successfully to the "bathroom"! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I got grades and attendance reported and added spring semester courses and materials and requested that a transcript be sent to a college. Then I rewarded myself by playing mandolin along with Attaboy on the Chordify app, which allows me to play it at half speed. Even THAT is a bit of a stretch, lol. But so much fun. I got some plans together for this week's Short Lessons in Debate. We are hoping this will help the kids in communication skills, as some are loathe to give opinions at all (beneficiaries of my genes) and one who comes out swinging (I am determined to survive my last teenage boy!). I got the lessons from Teachers Pay Teachers, which I am finding to be one of my favorite resources. It fits me really well, as I like to stick with one solid curriculum per subject and then tweak the dickens out of it. Heere endeth the Noonday Update. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 So this morning was the morning where I do the big process of filling my million pill boxes with all my million pills. And I had a spectacular spill where the bottle went up in the air and pills went everywhere. Juliet just sat there calmly while I was splayed on (my) all fours retrieving those pills from the floor, under things, from the top of the fireplace. . . Hopefully I have gotten them all. . . 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) Good morning! Xena can't help but push herself. It's just who she is. Apparently Chester borrowed a couple of dh's foam earplugs - he pooped them out this morning. :Ack2: So the discussion around the breakfast table involved questioning the strength of a dog's stomach acids, and the resilience of the purple dye of the foam, and whether or not we should experiment with a human for comparison. There were no volunteers. Since dd18's trip to England won't be happening this year, we are looking for a nice place (warm and peaceful, maybe with lake and mountains or maybe tropical, closer than England, where we can get a cheap flight from Nashville in late May) to take her for a couple days.

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Last night was a doozy. (Though people in hurricane country will say that I"m a wimp for saying that!) There were high gusts of wind and rain all night. The power went out a couple of times before bed but fortunately came right back on and stayed on last night. This is important for my CPap though of course the lights themselves are off at night. Juliet was a very scared puppy from the booms of thunder and the big gusts of wind that shook the entire house. She wanted to cuddle with me but every time there was a big noise she'd fly in terror from the bed. Then she'd creep back to my side. We didn't get to sleep until 3 am when the winds finally died down. This morning the basement is still dry. The sump pump is working hard but still working. There are tons of small branches down all over the neighborhood but no trees down as far as I can see. I have volunteering this morning so I can't be sleepy and dopey. Gotta run! 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
