KrissiK Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Out on the patio this morning. It’s a nice morning. A tad bit chilly, but the fluffy robe helps. I slept till 8:30. Work is killing me. At least I didn’t work 60 hours like I did last week. This week it was only 50. Housework, laundry and some seed planting on the docket today. Why spend $4.28 for a red pepper plant from the Afsa, when you can spend $1.79 for a whole packet of red pepper seeds?? I bought a terracotta pot from the Afsa last night. I have a lovely Martha Washington geranium that needs a lot of attention, so I am going to clip that and put some of the clippings in a pot to start another. That’s one thing I like about geraniums, they are very easy to propagate. I love propagating plants from cuttings.

Amateur radio (as opposed to commercial stations or first responders). It still requires FCC licensing. I don't want to spend a lot of money or space on it, but within the next year or so I'd like to be advanced enough to help with emergencies that affect utilities. 1 hour ago, Junie said: My dh and my dfil both have amateur radio licenses.

Susan in TN Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 We are back from lunch - ate at a "deli" (i.e. breakfast/lunch place) in the Small Town (I had a panini grilled cheese and tomato basil soup) and came home and picked up sticks and folded up the gaga ball pit and raked a few leaves and pulled a couple weeds and now I am finally not freezing. And the heat has finally kicked on. Now that I'm not cold. 🙄 Ds17 is mowing the lawn. Imma read my book (I started The Monogram Murders - I really like it so far). Chester is whining because his ball is under the coffee table and he thinks I need to get it out for him, lol. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I planted the snapdragon in a pot with some oregano and added some alyssum. It is pretty now.

Junie Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I had a nice evening out at a Mexican restaurant with some of the ladies from the Iglesia. I understood maybe 50 percent of the conversation -- it was hard because there were sometimes multiple conversations and background music -- it was hard to hear. I did cheat and speak to the waitress in English because of my severe food allergy -- I was not quite confident enough in my Spanish-speaking ability to keep myself safe. But, I had a really nice time and the food was so, so good! :) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Morning, Happy Sunday. I basically just took it easy yesterday and got not much of anything done. I was feeling somewhat light-headed I think from allergies/ear fluid. It's better today. I need to plan classes today, then get plans going for next week as well since we are going away for the weekend next weekend. We are going to meet old friends of dh's down in Shenandoah. We're staying at a nice little cabin on the Shenandoah River. Should be a nice, relaxing weekend. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I guess that I didn’t post yesterday. I had my butt worked off by the Xena wrangler yesterday. Only not literally. Unfortunately most of my weight is still in my tummy and I am still fat. Had a really tough night from pain and central nervous system stuff as a result of the hard workout. Even though I took pain relievers. Don’t know the solution to that so I guess that I should just ignore it and carry on. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I have all of this week planned, so now I can take the evenings this week to plan next week so I don't have to do anything while we are on vacation next weekend. I'm trying to do laundry but the water valves on our washer are going wacky again. They don't stop water from going into the washer when it's full. So clothes are staying soaking wet. But it won't run a rinse/spin without the water turned on. So I'm trying to catch it as the rinse is done and turn off the water before the spin so it doesn't fill up again. It's crazy and I'm not doing any more laundry once I get this load done. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bean Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 It’s 90 here. 90!! I made dinner for a friend who just had a baby Thursday. She’s a vegetarian so that made it a challenge. I made a veggie soup with a bunch of veggies, beans, wild rice, and cut up meatless meatballs along with biscuits. DD made tuxedo cookies. I hope they like it. I think we will have sloppy joes- what else can I do with 2lbs defrosted cow? I would rather DH grilled. School lesson plans for the week are printed and clipped to the dry erase board. I was super happy last week that the kids finished all their assignments as written. I’m hoping for a repeat. I played with Little Man shooting NERF darts at the “aliens” on his chalkboard. I’m a terrible shot-kept hitting wide. He also wanted to do 12 pages of his new McRuffy prek book! I’m good with that. Watching Thomas the Tank Engine with him now. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 MIL signed into my Apple ID today and had all of my messages sent to her email. She signed into my Facebook several months ago so I changed the password so she used my email to change it again so I changed every password I had but forgot about Apple because I haven't used it in years. She also tried to cancel our phone plan online a few months back. So much joy. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
