Junie Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 We had a good day today. Dh made dinner on the grill -- hamburgers, hot dogs, kielbasa, veggies. I think he couldn't decide what to make, so he just made some of everything. :) My breathing is still not normal. I finished the required nebulizer treatments, so now they will only be done as needed. Well, unfortunately my breathing became labored after dinner, so I did a treatment then. And it still isn't quite right, so I'm going to do another one before I go to bed. It's not bad -- it just isn't particularly good either. 😞 Hopefully I will get this under control in the next day or two. I have a follow up with my pulmonologist early next week. 5 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Morning, Happy Tuesday. Cabinets are mostly done in kitchen. One that was the wrong cabinet came in broken but luckily it was one going in a place all by itself so it didn't hold up anything else. One drawer can't be used because the stove sticks out more than the measurement said it would. Still no countertops (will be awhile), sink, stove or dishwasher (those three hopefully today). Before the only countertop we had was the piece over the top of the dishwasher (24 inches), between the sink and stove. The only upper cabinets were two double cabinets and the small one over the microwave (which is mounted over the stove). No lower cabinets except the under sink one. Now we have all that, plus upper cabinets - a blind next to the stove, a blind in a corner opposite the stove and two other double uppers, and lower cabinets - a blind next to the stove and in the corner opposite, a narrow three drawer, a wide three drawer, a double doored with shelves and two drawers, two small single doored with one drawer and shelves, plus a 7 foot tall pantry closet. And about 8 feet of countertop perpendicular to stove, and 8 feet of countertop set up like a breakfast bar type thing in front of two windows (with the narrow cabinets underneath with knee space in between), and another 3 foot section across from the breakfast bar. Dh will have so much more room to cook dinner every night. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I ended up getting up at 6am this morning. Way too early but I was awake. I'm going to banish the goat, run to the AFSA for a few things, run to the classroom and see if I can detach my fake wall from the real wall so it can be moved when my teacher comes to help me tomorrow, do some other work maybe, come home and wipe out the new cabinets and drawers so we can start putting things away. Dh will have to make some decisions about where he wants things since he is the primary cook. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 One child stayed up. He saw two meteors, but that's about it. So we evidently weren't in a great spot to see them. Same child has his driver's skill test today. The other did his last week and passed. Continued clean up and debulk today. I'm determined to get all the homeschool and book stuff off to the thrift stores as soon as possible. Maybe it will be there when some other family needs it, and they'll have it for planning early. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Good Morning! Happy Tuesday! We're taking the week off from math. What we're doing isn't working, so I need to consult with dh and figure out a new way to approach it. Not new curriculum, but a better way of using what we have. In breathing news, I did end up using the nebulizer before bed and again this morning. This time I used a combination of meds instead of only albuterol and it seems to be helping.

Slachey, I also have the owies. I'm feeling the bumps and bruises from my fall and hike. Did a second minor surgery to my blood blisters (just relieving pressure, but it involves sanitizing a safety pin, so I like the drama of calling it "surgery") and took the pup on his morning constitutional. Dd15 was going to wake me up to go out and look for shooting stars but she turned off her alarm and went back to sleep. There is probably too much light in our area to get a good view anyway.

Wheres Toto Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Frames for posters that are 33 inches by 38 inches are very very expensive. I'm not talking custom, I'm just talking about one big enough to fit it. Over $100. So I decided to laminate it and just hang it with a "frame" of tape. Our local teacher store (that got rid of all their teacher supply stuff sometime in the past year or two) doesn't have a big enough laminator. Staples would have been around $20 but said the shiny surface of the poster wouldn't go through the laminator well and would get messed up. Now I'm looking at $50 pieces of acrylic from Home Depot. Why is this so hard???? I also went to Whole Foods to do an Amazon return, waited at the service desk because I couldn't read the orange type on a brown/picture of boxes background that said where the Amazon return line was. Guy standing there said someone would be at service desk soon, waited five minutes and someone else asked me why I was there and then pointed out I should be at the counter with the guy who was standing their with no customers but now had two people in front of me. On the bright side, I was able to detach the fake wall from the real wall so I accomplished that. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking adding JrAG or AG would be a good addition to round LA skills out. Add some reading and that is an English class. Your post reminded me I needed to reschedule the kid's appointments. We went Friday and the doctor was running way behind so they gave us the option to reschedule. We were going to be coming home in rush hour traffic on a Friday of a holiday weekend and it was going to start thunderstorming. The quicker we could get done the better so we declined to wait. The delay isn't too bad. We go back June 23rd. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Bean Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 DS17 will live for another year! He gained 5 lbs of muscle and nearly 2 in. in height from last year. We are short people so height gains are awesome. I have a Costco Casper Select queen mattress inflating in the living room. Silly me not to read the directions first which said to put it in its base before opening. Oh well. I have to go to IKEA tomorrow for the base anyway. Driving across Houston after 3 pm is not a good idea. Why a queen? We need a new mattress badly but can’t afford a king again. It will be fine for a couple years. And I called our trash people who said we can put the old stuff on the curb with no extra charge! Yea! I thought we were going to have to find a truck to haul it to the dump. Chicken enchilada casserole for dinner. I bought extra avocados this time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I am working on the camp website and something happened to part of it. It went poof. And then it came back and had some gibberish like a child had gotten into it. (A message that said something like "Hey Dad".) I took this over from someone else (like everything else for camp) and we are still using their password etc. so I assume that something happened on their end. I've been meaning to switch it over to content that I have 100% control over and I guess this is my sign from "above". (Put in quotes because while I do think that God lets us know things, I'm not so sure that He bothered in this instance. Sometimes we can just see that we need to do things differently without any divine intervention.) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 We had cranberry chicken wraps for dinner. Super yummy! I got the recipe from the lady who brought them for lunch on our campout. Cooked chicken mixed with some raspberry balsamic dressing, dried cranberries/Craisins, thinly sliced apples, lettuce, and wraps or flour tortillas. I believe the original recipe included walnuts or pecans, which I left out. Almonds might also be yummy. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
