Susan in TN Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I lost my freezer meal planning papers and grocery list. So frustrating. I took a picture of the master grocery list, but that was before I made notes and stuff. I don't want to start all over. I don't know if I can remember the meals I was planning for, though I now have 3 different types of chili powder for some very specific but mysterious recipes. Also, why are there no pork shoulder roasts? I went to 3 stores today. Nothing. They have pork loin, pork ribs, ground pork, pork steaks, and pork chops. No shoulder roasts. I'm supposed to cook them tomorrow. 😠 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73349 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Reason #84 I'm glad DH works from home now: I bought groceries 5 minutes away and got a flat tire in the parking lot. He came and got me (and the food) and brought me home, took my car to the shop and walked back to his car to come home. (He used to work ~1 hour away.)

Wheres Toto Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Dh's cardiologist isn't worried about his pulse dropping during surgery. Google says bradycardia is common from anesthesia, and since all his tests were good, I guess they just aren't worried about it. He does go back to the cardiologist next week for a follow-up anyway. I'm going through Amazon and adding things to my Subscribe and Save, and thinking about what things we need to stock up on at BJs, and what I need for the science center to get ready for classes in September especially since we are redoing things and need some more furniture stuffs. I think I'm getting a few wheeled utility/shelf carts and an organizer/craft tote/tool bag type thing for each teacher since nobody will have a dedicated room. Rooms will change based on class size, ages, etc. so having the tote for basic supplies to take around from room to room seems like it would be helpful. Plus the cart to bring in things needed for specific experiments. We are getting a outside storage space so I'm also getting a dolly that can be used to bring bigger loads down to the main space, and we will have one closet where each teacher will have a shelf space about 2 feet by 3 feet for whatever supplies they need for a week (I store most supplies in shoebox/photo box type things). ETA: Huh, a long and rambly booya. Edited July 21, 2021 by Wheres Toto 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan, yay for finding what was lost and what was on sale! Write, John, write! Great book idea! Krissi, we got stuck on a rock white water rafting back in my crazy youth and got thrown from the raft and swam the next rapid.

I would like my least favorite aunt to make her departure post haste. It's been difficult to sleep or go anywhere the past couple days. And I wanted to go more places today. And I'm tired. We have genuine California Wildfire Haze! (And some from Canada) I'm glad I don't suffer from asthma - that's gotta be so rough. Gotta banish goats and get ready to Do Things. Coffee!

KrissiK Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Good Morning!!! COFFEE~D Friday Eve!!! We’re going hiking today to Eagle Falls. We did that last year. It’s a nice hike, somewhat strenuous if you are not in great shape. Wonderful views of Lake Tahoe as we walk, though. Last night we watched a cute movie. “Eddie the Eagle” based (quite loosely I understand) on Eddie Edwards, the ski jumper from Great Britain who participated in the Calgary Olympics. It was sweet and humorous. Had one inappropriate part that we skipped through. Sorry about the wildfire smoke, Susan. We got some doozies out here. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Today is youngest dd's 14th birthday. Why does 14 seem so much older than 13? We moved a bunch of dd's stuff. Her boyfriend is going to help her tomorrow with the heavier stuff although she's still probably going to borrow our Suburban. Younger dd has a neuropsych appointment in the morning and then I"m going to take my car over and help older dd with moving. Dh is heading down to his moms tomorrow afternoon (yes, two days after surgery he's driving 2 1/2 hours). I think I'm going to push him to take my car eve though I hate driving his. His AC is not working again and my car rides a little smoother. I hate driving his car but I probably won't be going anywhere except the science center all weekend. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I just went and looked at another space. This one is a really really good rate, lease with option to buy, motivated landlord/seller. I really liked it except its on the second floor. It seems like all the really affordable spaces are second floor in buildings without elevators. Which isn't a deal breaker just not our first choice. We did already discuss picking up kids downstairs and escorting them up for parents who had multiple little ones, to make it easier. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t do Eagle Falls. We did the Five Lakes Hike out of Alpine Meadows ski resort , a five mile round trip hike. It was pretty steep going up, but the lakes were gorgeous. I am beat. let me know when you plan your trip and I’ll give you advice. Lake Tahoe is lovely, Yosemite is butt. Well, Yosemite is beautiful, but make sure you come in not a drought year or the falls will be all dried up. And there’s just so many people. The last time I was there I said I would never go there again because there are so many tourists. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Postponing my actual nirthday celebration until October, per my usual. However, we did enjoy the lake. It was hot rather than haunted, but the boys caught fish and boated, and I pretty much sat in my chair and didn't think about anything, which was much needed brain down-time. It's supposed to be baking hot next week. I'm headed out to look at the freezer space and see if we can't devote more of it to frozen water bottles and so forth for the chickens. We probably will hit our first 100s next week, which is actually very late for us, so I'm not complaining. But with the degree of humidity here, it's going to feel like a sauna all week, and no one will be able to cool off outside. One of those dangerous heat things for sure. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does not have strep (at least not by the "quick test"). They don't know what his problem is. I managed to make it on time to pick up dd18 from work and now we are all home and I'm ready to throw in the towel for the day.
