Wheres Toto Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) I don't know if I've ever had a persimmon. I'll have to explore further. ETA: A persimmon booya? How odd. ETAA: I'm pretty sure I've never had one. They look like tomatoes. I think I would remember that.

Wheres Toto Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Dh told the kids they could be on break this week. This happened when I called out the 9pm alarm (electronics away) so who knows how late they stayed up last night. I have the interview with my prospective teacher this morning. Wish me luck! I really need someone to get through the end of this year. If we get the new space, I'll have to step up finding someone but I'll have more leeway when making a new schedule for next year. I'm trying to not have to cancel any classes. I think it's possible if I hire one person willing to do a few classes and teach 18 classes a week myself (ugh). Ideal would be hiring two people with compatible schedules, which is probably a complete dream. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Good Morning!! COFFEE!!~D Monday!!! It’s the first day of vacation (officially, weekends don’t count) and I’m awake at 5:30am. I cannot even believe it. I was planning on sleeping until at least 7:00. Oh well, at least I don’t have to rush around, I can ITT and do devotions and even exercise this morning in a leisurely fashion . Lots to do today. I have to drop of Christmas cards at the PO, drop a return off at the UPS drop off station, run to my aunt and uncles and drop off presents for my kids I bought for them (they are elderly, so I shop for them) and then a quick (hopefully) stop at the AFSA.

A guy drove up our driveway, but was mispronouncing my sister's name and saying that was who the bag was for. He finally showed me his phone, I saw it was my sister, and he told me Happy Birthday!

I will have to buy more pomace when I'm ready to make more, but this should last us a while. (We can't even start using it until it's cured for 6 weeks + it's 12 bars + we use liquid soap in the shower.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I forgot to decorate the church for Christmas this year. Though it isn't totally my fault. It isn't like anyone else reminded me or decided to do it or even offered to help me to do it. I'm not bothering to decorate our house this year either. Reasons. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the exact same thing I bought him for Christmas (same brand and everything), which will also arrive in the next day or so. Perishable and non-returnable. *sigh* Fun update: They're both supposed to arrive today after shipping delays and might both be spoiled. In which case I have no Christmas gift for him. UPDATED UPDATE: We opened both boxes. He declared them cold enough. I still am displeased that he bought for himself, but he likes his present.

I bought some really pretty fluffy yarn when I was buying stuff for classes. I took it home because I really love it and want to make something with it. But I don't know how to knit or crochet. But I do have those round loom things and I know how to do that. One of these days I'll give it a try. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Things went well with my teacher interview. She's going to teach two classes in one day for the next session, then may do more in Spring. She has a Bio degree, kids in school, is very articulate and I think she will do well. I still haven't heard from landlord or realtor again about the new space. Not sure what the hold up is but with them it could be that they are working on a lease and didn't think to actually tell us things were moving ahead. They sort of acted like it was a done deal, including giving us the code to the key box so we could get in whenever we wanted, but there was no confirmation that the landlord was accepting our offer. So its weird. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
