Susan in TN Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Good morning! It's Friday! So much going on. We have to do some thorough house cleaning. I need to go to Aldi for groceries and take dd12 to another grocery store for scout groceries. The two youngest have a scout campout tonight. I need to get things ready for dd22 and her roommates who are borrowing camping gear for the weekend and having lunch here tomorrow. The girls got out the summer clothes bins just in time for a major weather cool-down. Dd12 couldn't find an Easter dress, so I may need to take her shopping this weekend. Dd14 and I need to go to REI and look for a few things. Coffee! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Good Morning! Happy Friday! I've still been having trouble getting onto this thread. And I've not slept well this week. We haven't gotten out our spring/summer clothes yet. Our weather is still fluctuating too much. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Good Morning!!!! COFFEE!!!~D .... is not ready yet. I was up until 10:30 working on DS’s final essay on “Night” and I got distracted and forgot to finish putting grounds in the filter and set it. So, it’s coming, just not yet. School and work today and then Spring Break. I gotta go to the AFSA tonight. Oldest DD’s belated birthday party is tomorrow. It’s all pretty under control. Just gotta get some s’more stuff.

Junie Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Why is it 80 degrees? This is why I always have the kids keep some off-season clothes in their closet. It's going to cool back off, so they will still want their warmer clothes. Welcome to the roller coaster called spring. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 It hit 80 degrees here today too. Way too warm for this time of year. I'm waiting until Friday rush hour traffic is over and I'm running out to Target and maybe Home Depot. I need an outside trash can for the science center and ice cream. The ice cream is why I'm doing it tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) My mom is going to come and hang out tomorrow. She just wants to get out of her house for a little while. It's supposed to be nice and in the 60's so we'll sit outside. My neighborhood is quiet, we have lots of birds and we're on a river so she likes sitting outside. We have a ton of construction trash still out there that is no longer covered with snow, but we'll still be able to have a few chairs and a small table to sit at. ETA: A hanging out booya.

73349 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Wouldn't it be nice if construction/renovation got done in nice, orderly 8-4 M-F type hours? Yeah, they're not doing that. Some days they come and some days they don't; some days they arrive at 9 AM and others at 1:30 PM; some days they're gone by 3 and others they're still here when we have to take our masks off because dinner's ready. Some days I can see what they accomplished and others I... like, really? Two people were here for 4 hours and the only visible difference is 1 piece of beadboard hung (but not painted)? Shower walls are up. Floor is down (but not grouted) except the shower. Vanity/sink/countertop is in (but no knobs or faucet). New ceiling fan is in. Not done yet: Ceiling (will be scraped and painted); most beadboard for the walls; shower floor, showerhead & handle; glass (goes in last); toilet is still out on the screened porch (obvs needs floor finished); hang towel bars & medicine cabinet.

Susan in TN Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Good morning! We have the Major ThunderBoomers coming through. I went out with Chester for his morning constitutional and then came right back in. Too much lightning. Pup will have to wait. Or, like every other dog within a 3-mile radius, just go potty in our yard. I'm glad the girls are not camping out there right now. I have dog obedience class today, but we're not supposed to bring dogs to the first session. Just paper and pencil. Dd22 & Co are stopping by for lunch and to pick up camping gear. I hope the forecast clears up for them. This afternoon I hope to bring the girls to a store to find an Easter dress and to REI.

Wheres Toto Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Morning, Happy Saturday.

Wheres Toto Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Mom is still here but we're just relaxing with our respective screens on the couch. She's looking at RVs that she could park in our driveway and live there when she sells her house. She hates her house and her neighborhood and this seems like it could be a viable option. We sat outside for hours enjoying the fresh air, the quiet, the birds, and the river. Had nice salads for lunch, then ordered pizza for dinner for us and the kids. It's been pleasant and she seems to appreciate getting out of her house for a little while. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have nosey neighbors, you might check town regulations on the RV living situation. One of our neighbors was reported for having an RV on their property that they just used sometimes for extra office space or whatever. No one was actually "living" in it.

Susan in TN Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Dog obedience class did not happen. I got there and the trainer said today's class had been cancelled. Apparently I wasn't on the email/text list for notification. 🙄 Dd22 & Co. came and had lunch and visited for a bit. I think they get a kick out of our whacky family and extra whacky pup. After that, dh took dd18 out to a couple places to do her senior photos while I took the Two Youngest to Goodwill where we found a nice Easter dress for dd12 and then to REI for backpacking stuff. They were out of pretty much everything we were looking for. Even women's medium socks. We did manage to get 4 pairs of good hiking socks and 2 silk liners - if not for the 10% sock discount, 20% 1 item discount, and our REI dividends, it would have cost a small fortune. Like over $100. Un. Freaking. Believable. Thunderboomers have started back up. Dd22 & Co. fortunately decided against camping tonight. We've gotten over 3 inches of rain already just today. I better check our neighbor Bob's back yard and make sure the creek isn't overflowing it's banks.

Susan in TN Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I finished Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus and next I might try Ready, Player Two. I should probably re-read Ready, Player One. Except I don't want to. I had a revelation today regarding hot flashes. I have been sleeping better the past couple nights and realized it seems to be a lack of hot flashes. I also haven't taken my vitamin D for the past couple days, as I am supposed to stop all vitamin supplements before my surgery. I looked it up, and sure enough, vitamin D can cause hormone fluctuations which cause the hot flashes. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our next door neighbor actually has an RV in his driveway that someone is living in. We are on a dead end street in a dead end neighborhood so there are limited people who would see enough to be aware (there are literally two houses that could even see our driveway at all and only about 6 total on our 1/2 mile long street).
