Wheres Toto Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I like funnel cake. And Swedish meatballs. I'm Swedish on my mom's side. Also Irish and German. And English on my dad's. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Good morning! I also like funnel cake. I don't like deep frying things, though. Aldi has had funnel cake mix in stock for several weeks, though I think it's probably pretty easy to make from scratch. I have a bunch of phone calls to make today. Ugh. Other than that I am making some chicken broth and need to get caught up on Bible study. Single Parenting class tonight. Coffee! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Mr. Ellie and I used to do Scottish Country Dance. There is none in our part of Texas (and it's not as popular in TX as it is in CA). This is a heckalong dance, but you still might enjoy it. 🙂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I've done all the Things except one which seemingly fixed itself. I will need to meet with the health marketplace advisor in person at some point so we can try to figure out what kind of verification the government is looking for. Next up is figure out driver's permit testing stuff. Someone told me recently that you can now take the test from home with a parent proctor so imma see about that.

If the power happened to roll on, that was their opportunity to vacuum or whatever, because you just never knew when it would come back.

No. The voters will just continue unplugging everything and patting themselves on the back for conserving energy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Good morning! I woke up too early and finally gave up on sleeping any more. Maybe I can get second sleep later. Imma try to get to the health marketplace advisor today. Somehow almost all my emails are landing in my junk folder lately. Not sure what's going on there. I need to mail a card - should probably get that done this morning. Coffee! Edited September 7, 2022 by Susan in TN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Morning. Happy Humph Day. I slept super duper badly last night. Could not sleep at all. Hot flashes seems to be at least part of the problem. I think I was getting hot flashes yesterday while doing some work at the center as well. Yuck. Super hot summer is not the time to start with hot flashes. Today I drive ds to school, meet my mom for lunch, drive to pick up ds from school. And probably that's going to be about it. Not enough time before or after to get anything done at the center so I'll probably finish up the plans for my last two classes. Or sleep. That could be good too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Good Morning! Happy Wednesday! I didn't sleep well either.

Susan in TN Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Well that was an hour and a half wasted dealing with the federal government. Should I have expected anything different? I guess not. So in the end, they resubmitted my application and we resent my verification forms and they still can't tell us what additional information is needed. But without it our medical coverage will be cancelled. "Maybe the forms were blurry?" and "Was your name on it?" were the best ideas they could come up with. 🙄 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Ds doesn't have any hours at work this week. He originally was working Saturday but now he is listed just as "available" for all the days he could work. I figure they aren't too busy yet (it's a Halloween store) and he may get more hours as Halloween gets closer. But I hope it's not that they don't think he's working out. It's his first ever job so if he did something wrong the hours he worked over the weekend, I would think they'd say something. Everything went fine from his perspective. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
