KrissiK Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I m exhaustified. I had a good talk with the educational psychologist. DS is going in on Thursday for testing. And oldest DD had a good appointment with the ophthalmologist. It’s just an appointment that takes two and a half hours. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I swear.... these cats all come out, sit at the front door and meow at me until I get up and let them out. And the really bad part of this whole thing is.... I do it. I get up and let them out. It’s because the girls are outside playing and the cats hate to be left out. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got off a zoom meeting - I was asked to be a part of a steering committee which I agreed to, assuming I would be unhelpful dead weight. But I think I might have been a little helpful. Or at least felpful. I love the organization, so it makes me happy just to be there, lol. Now I am supposed to go hike a hill. Don't want to. But I should go before it starts raining. Coffee! We got a little rain. Nothing in the forecast, and it’s the end of March, so I’m thinking.... probably nothing significant until November. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Tuesday: 40 minutes muddy weeding done Xena's lower body workout done Then after dinner because it is now light out, I did ten minutes of weed whacking in the background. I figure it will take me 14 days of daily ten minute sessions to get the entire back yard done. And then of course it will be time to start over! After all of that, my muscles were trembling. A trembling booyah! Edited March 24, 2021 by Jean in Newcastle 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Morning. It's Wednesday. I had to come to class early to mop the floor since it was purple. I still have to wipe tables and walls but I'll do that after the floor dries a little bit. I had to do floor first to make sure it was dry before kids come. I slept like crap and woke up with a pounding headache that got worse after tea, oatmeal and going outside. We're having a very low barometric pressure day and those always bother me but I'm sure the lack of sleep makes it worse. I'm blaming the sleep on the time change and hoping that means it will fix soon. Despite over 11,000 steps yesterday and running around like crazy, I still didn't sleep well. I have to move my Happy Light to near my seat in the living room. I have it by my desk but dh is home and uses my desk in the morning. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Good morning! For some reason, Chester has started laying down in his crate whenever we are eating meals. It's the only time he voluntarily goes in there. We are still recovering from the teenaged boy drama of last night. Imma go with dh to Lowes and look at storm doors. The brackets for our basement stairs handrail were supposed to come on Monday night and are still not here. Supposedly supposed to be here tonight.

Susan in TN Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 My ultralight backpacking chair seems to be a go. I just pinned the stuff to the stool for now - I'll have to do a bit of cutting and sewing eventually, but it was definitely comfortable and will weigh under a pound. And cost $20 (for the stool - the fabric part is coming from a cheap old lightweight garment bag.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I am so excited.... Apologia is publishing Earth Science in their Young Explorers Series. I just pre-ordered it. I have been a little worried about next year for science..... we did all the Zoology books, the Astronomy, and this year we did Botany, which has been a great study. But I didn’t like the Chemistry/Physics all that much and I wasn’t excited about the Anatomy and Physiology. And then..... they come out with Earth Science.

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 A bit of a topsy turvy day. Not a horrible day but didn't get to a lot of things that I wanted to get to. And I totally forgot that I was out of rabbit food until after ten p.m so I had to run to the grocery store to get the weird rabbit food that they had. The rabbits are very suspicious of it and are refusing to eat it. (They won't starve. They still have timothy hay and treats etc. ) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Morning. Happy Thursday. I'm glad this week is almost over. I actually slept okay last night but I took some Dayquil before bed. My allergies were bad and I had a headache basically all day. (Dayquil puts me to sleep, Nyquil keeps me awake). Met dd today and we did walk. I forgot how hard those hills are when you haven't done them in a while. I have to start taking a walk even on days I don't meet up with her, especially if I want to build up to walking to the science center. We did a 20 minute yoga after our walk. We wanted to do an easy routine so we did a post-natal yoga (even though dd has never had children and I'm 13years "post natal". Then we got the giggles because I pointed out that one pose would be torture to anyone breastfeeding because it totally squished the boobies. It was fun and silly. I like our walks because we really get the chance to talk about all kinds of stuff. Someone is supposed to come and fix my windshield while I'm teaching today. Which means I actually have to answer my phone, something I never do during class. But they'll call dh if I don't pick up so I'm not going to stress about it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Ultralight Jerry Stool Update! I had an inspiration for a slightly different design of the backpacking chair using leftover fabric from yesterday's chair. It was much simpler to put together and is 2 ounces lighter. You know you are getting into crazy-land when 2 ounces lighter is something to get really excited over! Lol.

Wheres Toto Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Morning. Happy Friday! Yesterday was a really good day with my classes. The kids had a great time, got very excited over what we were doing and the weather was gorgeous. According to my Fitbit, I got just under 2 hours of sleep last night, and that seems about right. I think I'm getting hot flashes/night sweats. Blech. I"ve missed my Happy Light a couple times this week (but we've also had sunny weather) but I'm sitting in front of it right now. Hopefully that helps with sleeping. Two classes today, fairly easy ones. Dh is going down to his moms again this weekend since next weekend is Easter?
