It twitches here and there, but so far is behaving fairly well. My CT scan went fine. The stuff they put in you makes you feel like you are wetting yourself, and also like you are having a super-charged hot flash. Naturally when the tech told me not to swallow, there was nothing I wanted to do more than swallow. Then when he said I could swallow and relax I was worried that I'd heard him wrong, so just stayed frozen until I was out of the Giant Donut. 😁 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Dd just walked by cheering because she got the last ice cream sandwich. I let her have her joy and didn't tell her I purposely left it for her. I already had dark chocolate covered almonds. Plus, evidently junk food with mint in it keeps me awake at night. It happened with mint cookies and I stopped eating them, and it happened again with these mint ice cream sandwiches. I really like mint so this totally stinks. I guess it's going to have to be a very occasional treat. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His mom is doing well, at least as well as she was before her recent bout of trouble. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Morning. Happy Wednesday. Today is my short day so I have to stop at the store on my way home. Ds is complaining he doesn't have any of his usual foods. I pointed out the leftovers he could eat so he doesn't starve with only 9 pizza bites and 5 taquitos for lunch. Teenage boys eat a LOT. In two weeks I actually finish up one of my Wednesday classes so it will be back to being an even easier day and I can't wait. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Happy St. Patrick's Day. This is the first time in years I won't be making corned beef and cabbage. It's usually the one time of year I cook dinner but I've been cooking dinner (sort of) for the past two weeks and enough is enough. Plus the kids won't eat it at all and it's definitely not worth doing just for myself. Maybe I'll talk to dh and make it this weekend. I also didn't make pie on pi day. I'm a homeschool failure. boo hoo. 😛 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Good morning! Happy St. Patrick's Day! Toto, we are also not having corned beef and cabbage, as usual. They had some "authentic Irish bangers" and some fancy Irish cheeses at Aldi last week so we are having bangers and mash. Dd12's fever is down quite a bit this morning (99.something vs 102.something yesterday morning) so we are glad for that. Very stuffy but nothing that can't be managed and throat is feeling a little better. (She tested negative for everything that can be tested for.) I am hoping my surgeon will call today and get the thing scheduled. I have a meeting with my health coach this morning. Zoom music history this afternoon and youth group cancelled due to schools on spring break. Irish Coffee! 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me a month to finish one book - started 3 and managed to finish the 3rd (I'm a Stranger Here Myself). The first 2 were digital books and maybe that was part of it. I think my next book will be The Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking, since dd12 has been pestering me to read it for weeks. I have started several books since January, and haven't finished a single one. (I'm not counting the read alouds I do with Gymnast.) I don't know what my deal is. This time last year, I had about 7 books under my belt. 7 minutes ago, Susan in TN said: We ate pie on Sunday. Lots of it. Except Renai who went crazy and had coffee cake. Anniversary was yesterday.

Susan in TN Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Good morning! Go Junie, go! Give 'em the One-Two Punch! Dd14 and Sir Pups-a-lot are playing hide and seek - I generally stay near pup while she's finding a hiding space to make sure he sits, but then he won't go find her until I say OK. (Dd makes an annoying whooping sound when she's ready.) It's a goofy mad scramble, but pup loves it. We ran into pup's good friend, Sandy, on our walk this morning. They did the Puppy Play Dance for a bit. Sandy is elderly, but still likes to play with the annoying young punk, lol. Bringing high school kids to tutorial, then hiking up and down a hill for a half hour, then Aldi. Or maybe I should do Aldi first, then hiking.

KrissiK Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Good Morning!!, COFFEE!!~D Friday Eve!!! School and work!!! I’ve been sleeping late all week. I don’t know if it’s the combination of Daylight SavingS Time, allergies and a lot of stress, but I’m feeling like garbage. I’m not sick... just..... bleh!! I’ve been doing well on the Challies Challenge. I’m reading a couple of good books right now.... “The Great Debate: Edmund Burke, Thomas Paine and the Birth of Right and Left” by Yuval Levin has been tremendous, though it takes a lot of thought to read. I’m also in the middle of “Between Sisters” by Kristin Hannah, which is good. I finished her latest “The Four Winds” which I thought was completely depressing. I hated it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I was able to get up and down the Big Hill three times in about a half hour. I only went to the very tippy top once because it was very steep, wet, and slippery on that part of the path. At Aldi I meant to grab two different varieties of granola bars but when I got home I found that I'd grabbed two of the same thing. I do that so often and don't know how I can grab two blue boxes when I mean to grab a blue and a red. Not paying attention, I guess. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Today was supposed to be the last day of the contractors being here. They were supposed to put in the farmstyle sink and then the last cabinet. The farmhouse sink that the Home Depot guy told me would fit did not fit the sink base. So I had to spend a lot of time on the phone figuring out a new sink and ordering it and moving the appointment for the countertops because the sink has to be there for that. Then the contractor realized that one of the cabinets that they put in yesterday was put in slightly wrong. Which I guess is good that they realized and fixed but it took a lot of extra time. And then today's cabinet was put in totally wrong. But dh has figured out a way to fix it so when they come back again in a week, that will be fixed. So it was a bit of a frustrating day. Also tonight he was working on the venting for the new stove hood and realized that the measurements don't match. And dh felt like a transition piece to make it work wouldn't be wise. But he had done his math wrong and I showed him that so I think that it will be ok afterall. So to give a Susan'-like summary: a bunch of things went wrong but I think that we have fixes for all of them. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 The most frustrating thing for me was that because of having to be on the phone to fix the sink issue, I missed my window of dry weather to do my weeding. So I didn't get to try out my new mattock. However, I did do the Xena combined workout. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Morning, Happy Friday! I finally got ahead on all my classes and could take a break from working on them this weekend (although it would be smarter to do a little bit each day and get a jump on things). Plan was to do some cleaning stuff at home and the classroom (we did an experiment involving garlic and it still smells a little bit so I need to do some deep clean to find out why). With dh home (and basketball on) I won't be able to do as much cleaning at home so I'll probably work on classes like usual to get ahead and just clean the bathroom and kitchen really well. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
