Junie Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) I helped 3 kids with math, taught a poetry lesson to my high schoolers, negotiated with a child to save some work for tomorrow, and did an ASL lesson with dd15.

Wheres Toto Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 It was in the 50's to 70's here today. A little chilly but not awful. Things went pretty good today. I have two teachers who are absolutely amazing, quick to step up and help out, and just wonderful with the kids. I am so thankful for them both. Tomorrow is my super long day. The leaving/absent teacher is supposed to be in, but I also have a back-up plan in place in case she's not. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Yesterday was our 17th wedding anniversary. I forgot until I saw the memories pop up on Facebook. Dh had a bunch of teeth extracted (he's getting implants) yesterday. So, no big plans for the anniversary. Maybe we'll go to dinner or something this weekend. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Good morning! It's raining here now. I went out to pull the jack-o-lanterns onto the porch. Ds26 is trying to keep his stable enough to submit to the pumpkin carving contest tomorrow for work. Busy day today. Drop off dd18 at college, the high school kids at tutorial, then drive into The Big City for a followup with my parathyroid surgeon. I will probably be late to that appointment - rain and traffic. Then I am shuttling various people back home from tutorial and to work from college and back home etc., etc. Tonight after dinner, ds26, ds16, and I are going to orchestra rehearsal. Coffee! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I never got on this morning. Today has been a very long day. My car's brakes were squeaking so we dropped off my car to get checked out which means dh had to drop me off at work so I was in at 8am. I taught four classes today between 10 am and 3:30pm. Then we went back to pick up my car, but ds had forgotten something at the science center so we had to swing back by there. Now I'm home. Dd has TKD tonight but I think dh is going to take her. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t answer when she starts calling me multiple times a day. But normally I don’t mind letting her talk while I do boring stuff around the house. It makes it less boring, actually. She’s single. And lonely. And a bit needy. But she did let me go to make my business calls. Now I am doing errands out in the storm which is not my idea of fun. In a second I will leave the sanctuary of my parked car. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately since I run a business where people expect me to answer questions, especially when we are wrapping up one session and people are wanting to enroll for the next session and my personal cell phone number is also the business number, I really should be answering it. I strongly encourage people to text or email or message or just about anything but call.

Matt's getting a second number for this EXACT reason. He will have 2 numbers on one device and when it rings it will indicate which line is ringing. This is $15 a month with T Mobile. His business card and website will both say "Call or Text: (210) 555-5555". 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All signals suck at the science center because in the back we are basically underground and there's something weird with the ceiling/floor of the second floor. I can't even see my wifi from the storage space that is right above the main center. But then, I guess I'd have to change everything over to a new business number which could be a pain. I won't change my personal to the business because I've had that phone number since my first personal cell phone back in the 90's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Dh and I are actually going out on a date night Saturday night. A late Anniversary date night. We're going to get an early dinner (before it gets busy) then go to see Dune at a movie theatre. We haven't been out on a date since before Covid and that was probably for our anniversary in 2019. And it would have been just dinner. We haven't been out to a movie in even longer. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Morning. Happy Friday. I'm falling apart. Yesterday I pulled (?) a muscle in my shoulder right along my collarbone. Wasn't too bad until I tried to sleep. I sleep on my side and couldn't with that side down. So, I woke up with a pulled muscle in my back again. Same pulled muscle as last week. I haven't been doing Tai Chi/yoga since I hurt my elbow. I really really need to get back to it. I think it will help avoid all these pulled muscles. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Good morning! So sorry about your muscle woes, Toto! I am all Willy_Nilly this morning. Dd18 has to get to work, ds16 has his behind-the-wheel training, my lawyer and two neighbors are supposed to be coming over this morning, but last I heard a week ago, the lawyer was in the hospital. So I don't know if the meeting is happening or not. And Sir Pups-a-lot was up a couple times whining at my door in the middle of night, so I took him out, but I don't think he is feeling well. I was able to get him in to see the vet this afternoon. Ds26 has work meetings all morning, so he can't help with the willy_nilly. Gotta run!

Wheres Toto Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 One more week and I'm off for a week. I have quite the to-do list for that week but it will still be a bit of a break. I need some down time to stop and breathe a little bit. The rest of this (school) year will be easier. It's only the first session that we go 8 weeks non-stop. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
