Wheres Toto Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) Tomorrow starts another week. My teacher is back from vacation so things should be easier. Ds is on Spring Break so no worries about getting him to school. And our doors aren't in yet, so no work happening at least for tomorrow. So almost a "normal" week. But can it be considered "normal" if it's actually more unusual than the alternative? ETA: a what is normal anyway, booya. I really need to go to bed now.

Some of the dates are different though, which would be really great to screw someone over. Arizona and China do not do daylight savings. How about Patagonia? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I have a weird prayer request. We have an old leather couch that we listed for free on Nextdoor. I put pictures showing exactly where there was wear and tear, so no hidden surprises for anyone. I wasn't getting any response and had gotten resigned to just taking it to the dump, which seemed a rather unfortunate thing for a number of reasons. But I just got a message from someone who wants it. So could you pray that 1) we can actually get the stupid thing out onto the driveway tomorrow? 2) that someone will actually show up and take it away? (We've had some other things listed that people said they wanted but they didn't actually follow through.) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Good morning! It's The Queen's favorite day! Happy Pi(e) Day! I was up at Dark O'Clock making quiche for breakfast. Got it out of the oven just in time for dd19 to grab a slice before running off to classes. Since then I've been working on Things - mostly going through Scout stuff with ds17 and helping dd13 with math. Dd13 is currently trying to figure out what kind of pie she can make for lunch with ingredients we have at home. Coffee! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I didn’t do Pi day. I forgot all about it. (Where is slinking away emoji guy when you need him?) I did make lemon bars.

Ellie Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Mr. Ellie said all the people at work liked the cheesecakes that we made yesterday, so I guess his Pi day offering was acceptable. I had no pi at home, though. I just hung out in my jammies with my ouchies. Poor sad me. OTOH, it was MONDAY, so there's that. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73349 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 We had our pumpkin pie. I will let DH and DS have the rest of it. I've gone back to drinking coffee yesterday & today, and it has not agreed with me. I think I'll stop again. Street lights stayed on until 7:25 AM because it was so dark. Stupid DST. DS starts tennis today. I hope he likes it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Morning. Almost back to our normal schedule for today. I went and worked out with oldest dd, I'll teach three classes, then we should be going to the gym and tai kwan do this evening. Still no doors so no construction happening. I'd enjoy the break if my whole house wasn't still out of place and disheveled until it can be finished. Tomorrow will be a long day. Three classes, the accountant to do taxes, then a 4-H meeting. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first Saxon math that was sold after being tested in a Los Angeles school district was Math 76 (and it was Hake Saxon; Steve Hake was co-author with John Saxon of Math 54-87, I think, but at least 76). My first Saxon purchase was a photocopied set of handwritten pages. I loved it from the beginning. 🙂 I only wish it had been published earlier so that both of my dc could have done all of them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have been low muscle tone. It would take more effort to do normal everyday tasks, so the work around is to have someone else do it until the muscles are strong enough to do it themselves. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 On this fine morning in history, I stand before you all to say thank you. Thank you for being awesome elephant ninja chicks. Thank you for making me laugh at loud, or at least chuckle under my breath often. Thank you for being as close to sisters as one can have in a non-IRL relationship. You are all beautiful, sweet, smart, and wicked cool, and my life is better for having known you. I think sometimes today everyone should post their speech. And we need cupcakes. And champagne. (N/A for those who abstain, of course.) And SWB should definitely stop by... Because we are apparently all her besties. ❤️ to all!

I did go to sleep an hour later than usual, but still. Much better than 3am! It must the The Magic of Lynn. Today I'm planning to get groceries and a couple other misc. items that people are pleading for. At some point I need to go back to the county clerk. I suppose I could try that today.
