Susan in TN Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) I don't love sci-fi or fantasy, but most of my all time favorite books are one of those two, so who knows. Maybe I do love them, lol. I was surprised at how much I loved Dune. And LoTR, obviously. And HP. And I've really enjoyed The Last Coin by James Blaylock (because funny) and several books by Tim Powers which I think are called "magical realism". Anyhoo. I am waiting for the lawn mower battery to recharge so I can finish the lawn. I scrubbed the stove and watered flowers and had cottage cheese with pineapple for lunch. Ds17 is edging the lawn. Meanwhile I was looking at airbnb rentals on Prince Edward Island, should I ever be inclined to visit Green Gables. It's an Awesome Green Gables Booyah!

Dianthus Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 My mom went to PEI, and I really want to go. I think I've read all the LM Montgomery books. Finally let dd read more than AoGG. They are so overly romantic, but I still love them. I used to be a very big fantasy fan as a teen, no so much Sci fi. There was a lot of bad stuff that would creep into the series-es as you read and were already hooked. Some also caused confusion, prophecies that sounded like bible but then I'd get mixed up with what the Bible actually says. I love Narnia and the Hobbit. Big faves and lotr less but also. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I am so tired, even though I slept pretty well last night. Nursery was Good - only one slightly fussy toddler but he settled down after a while. It is always freezing in the nursery room - there is a space heater that we run all summer long, lol. I guess that's the struggle when your building is 150 years old. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Eight in nursery, only 2 crying the whole time. A third adult stayed with us because a child that loves her was having a hard time.

Slache Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I don't like nursery, but it's the only thing I can really do. I can't do church work days and I can't commit to anything outside of church time. So, I get germed. It's gross. It's funny because I don't even like the babies. I swoon over my babies all day long, but if you hand me another one I'm like "WhY iS iT wEt AnD StIcKy?" 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) The dog grooming place that I usually take Chester to has all new grooming staff (according to their website). None of the regular people are there and I'm not sure if I should take him there again or find a new place. They did a good job at an extremely reasonable price. 😭 Edited September 18, 2022 by Susan in TN 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 We had dinner at the house of some church friends. I was apprehensive about going because we haven't been there since dh died.

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) I have this idea that I want to go to each of the bazillion parks in our county. So I chose the second one on the alphabetical list (the first one was an hour away and had zero maps online on trails so I crossed it off my list). Juliet and I drove 30 minutes to today’s park. Then we hiked for an hour. I set a timer for thirty minutes and Juliet led me through a crisscrossing warren of trails until the timer went off. Then we retraced our steps and made it back to the car. It was fun. I won’t say that this was all that special of a park but it was a change from my daily loop.

Wheres Toto Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Morning. It's Monday. I woke up at 5:45am to work out with dd but she ended up cancelling. I decided not to go back to bed so I've already been up for 2 hours and have another 90 minutes before I need to leave the house to take ds to school. Then teaching until 3:30pm, picking up ds, and home. It's going to be a long day. I'm teaching a math workshop class and everyone is supposed to send me their homework at least 24 hours prior to their next class so I can check it and tweak what I'm doing in class based on their understanding. I already had to point out what at least 24 hours would be to a couple students. Now for today's class I haven't gotten homework at all from at least 3 out of 8 students, and one sent it at 10:30 last night (for a class at 1pm today). Today should be interesting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Younger dd has been sick since Saturday. We went to a sweet 16 and had to run out to get food for ds and left her there with my uncle and cousin. She was okay when we left but wasn't feeling well when we got back (maybe 10 minutes later) and we just thought it was her anxiety. But then she spent the night puking. And most of yesterday just sipping ginger ale. Dh goes to the cardiologist tomorrow. His pulse is still really low and evidently the stent didn't completely help his arrhythmia problem. Last time he talked to the doctor about the low pulse, they didn't know what to do about it. I keep telling him he needs to make sure they understand he had Lyme's disease and it was not treated completely. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 It's Monday!! But it will be a busy Monday, as there's a women's group meeting tonight and I have lots of responsibilities for it. Hula tomorrow. An informal line-dancing class--at my house--on Wednesday. A luncheon on Thursday, where, again, I have some responsibilities. A class at church on Saturday. It will be a very people-y week. I'm girding my loins now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Good morning! It's The Queen's favorite day! (((England))) I'd like to go to the Hula and Line Dancing. A couple years ago the kids and I learned some line dancing as part of story time. We learned the Electric Slide, Backyard Shuffle, simplified Footloose, Cupid Shuffle, Cotton-Eyed Joe, and The Wobble. I don't think we remember any of it, lol. I pulled a Junie last night and didn't get to sleep until about 4am. Got up at 6:30 for breakfast and then went back to bed and got maybe another hour and a half of sleep. Now having Coffee! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caayenne Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Hi ITT! I don't know that anyone would actively remember me, but I posted on here for a little while around five years ago, just before my health took a sharp turn southward. (I just looked it up, and that was back in 2017! Time flies when you're couchbound! 🙃) I've kept up with the thread off and on as I could, but I'd love to jump back in and get to know y'all better, if you don't mind. 😊 I am still homeschooling my youngest son (he's a senior this year!) and I work from home moderating a teen writing forum, so I spend most of my waking hours talking to teenagers! 😅 I'd love some conversation with grown-ups a little more often to help me stay sane! 😉 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
