Wheres Toto Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Morning. Happy Hump Day! Today is my short day. Two classes, no TKD, nice and relaxing (theoretically). My schedule is actually pretty good this year. Tuesday is my only really long hard day (I really should put the hard classes on a short day). The rest of the week is things I find easier. But, yeah it's the same old/same old with some January blahs thrown in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Good morning! It's a regular day of school today. Nothing else going on. I had a lot of end-of-cold coughing last night in between bouts of middle-of-night sweating, but I think I got a bit of sleep anyway. Nothing that can't be fixed by my Extra Large Green Mug of Coffee! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 So we made the decision for the two Middles to drop out of their youth orchestra program and join another one. It was really hard for me, either because I have an over-developed sense of loyalty or because I hate change, or maybe both, but the kids wanted to do it and were accepted in, so we did. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Good Morning! Happy Thursday! Headache. House is still messy, but progress has been made. I went to Facebook church and Zoom iglesia last night. In the Spanish service we're having a series taught by a native speaker (not the American bi-lingual pastor). The first time I heard him preach (a year and a half ago?) I maybe understood 25 percent. Last night it was closer to 75. :) 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Good morning! I took Chester for his morning constitutional alone, in the dark, in the rain. He was being a Very Good Pup so I let him have a treat from the neighbor’s dog treat box. I can’t get ITT to load on my iPad for some reason, so I’m on my phone. I’m taking Dds14&18 to the drive-through testing place this morning. Then take them home and head to Aldi. We are out of cheese and milk, so things are getting a bit dicey around here.

I'll probably work on that this evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I finished the book - The Vanishing Half. It was a fairly interesting story, though I got the idea that the author really didn't know anything more about 20th century history than what she'd learned in an 8th grade history textbook and that she was probably pretty young. That might be unfair, but I was right about her being young. Anyhoo, since that was a fictional novel, I'm going to make myself read a non-fiction next. Either Life Together by Bonhoeffer or Living Into Focus by Arthur Boers - both in the "Christian Living" category. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) I need to get a good book. I read a really good book at the beginning of the month about a spy, but I picked up a book about WWI which is ok, but I need to get through it. One of my reading goals this year was to learn more about WWI. Like why, for instance, were they fighting. Because it was a pretty bloody war, but I can’t really see that an assassination of the leader of a small nation is really reason to fight like that. It had to be something else. The book I am reading now is “The Great and Holy War: How World War I became a religious crusade” by Philip Jenkins.

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Did 2/3 of my Xena's lower body workout. I totally forgot about the other 1/3 of the workout and also cleaning the bunny cage and the cat's bathroom because we had contractors here. I don't exactly feel like working out in the living room with spectators, if you know what I mean. And I can't let the bunnies out of their cage to run around when contractors are doing noisy dangerous stuff near where they run around. The contractors come back again tomorrow. In related news, our kitchen is getting closer to getting done! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Morning, It's Friday!!!! Another week done. Fairly easy day today, two "tutoring" sessions (class is still by zoom so we split) and one class. Next week I'm mostly off Monday and Tuesday - just one zoom class on Monday, then full schedule Wednesday through Friday. Then a new session starts the following week with a couple new classes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Good morning! Pup woke up this morning wanting to go out and I was so tired I almost cried. But dh was up til all hours babysitting work projects, so I got up anyway and took pup on his morning constitutional. I have a dream that some day he will poop in our yard. I should be industrious like Jean and Junie and do something productive today. My bathroom clean-out was so successful that I am trying to use that as inspiration but there is so much that needs to be done I don't know where to go next. How about the boxes and stuff at the bottom of the stairs? Coffee! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKAPastry Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Just wanted to swing in and drop a quick happy note - new baby Max Theodore was born on Wednesday and has needed a little NICU time with CPAP for wet lungs and such, but is doing very well. He’s totally adorable and I can’t wait to spring him from the hospital and be done with labor and delivery forever 🥰 He was 7 lbs 13 oz at 36 weeks (biiiig baby, 94th percentile) and 20.25 inches long. It was a little PTSD inducing during the delivery but not too terrible, actually, even being back in the same NICU and hospital. I know many of you were wondering and hoping with me on this, and wanted to give the update. - Bagels/AM 🙂 6 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
