Wheres Toto Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) Morning, Happy Monday. I need to call the realtor and ask about the bigger space. She said I would have an answer in two weeks, which was last Friday. Except I'm not sure I want to appear too eager. Except I am eager. Other than that, it's the usual. Drive ds to school, teach my classes, pick ds up from school. On Jean's advice, we've been drinking bone broth every day. We ran out due to shipping delays and, damn that stuff really works. Every old injury and arthritic joint was hurting in a way it hasn't in ages. We have it back now thankfully.

Wheres Toto Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Ds had me cut his hair yesterday. He has gorgeous hair - a ton of thick, wavy/curly, soft hair. It was down to around his waist and we cut it to just above shoulder length. He was finding it annoying. I could have told him when he hit the point it was hard to sleep without pulling on it and would knot majorly. His hair is just like mine was about 20 years ago. I still have a ton of thick wavy hair but it's not nearly as thick as it used to be. I told him that and he asked what I did to thin it out. I told him I got old. 😁 He didnt appreciate that answer. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Good mornin! It's The Queen's favorite day! Is she still in Hula Land? Today would have been Dh's 55th birthday. We had birthday breakfast of blueberry pancakes and corned beef hash (which I hate but dh loved, lol). Dh always made a special breakfast for everyone's birthday and other holidays. Sigh. I didn't make it through breakfast without crying and Ds27 decided to work from home today. It's a bit of a heavy day for us and I am trying to muster up courage to respond to texts from people who are sending thoughts and prayers. Nevertheless, the kids have choir and scouts tonight. I am doing laundry and planning to make a birthday cheesecake in a bit. How long does it take for eggs and cream cheese to get to room temperature? Coffee! 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 What's good at Panara? I have a lunch meeting at the tutorial and they sent me a link to order. I thought there would be a small selection of items to choose from but apparently I have to pick something from the whole menu. I've only eaten there once and that was a cinnamon roll, lol. I'm so overwhelmed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dianthus Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Still can't find our FLL book. Am I crazy for considering trying to work? My old office will let me work from home. I told them a max of 20 hrs/wk but now I couldn't swing it with all the activities this semester. Trying to decide if I could do 15 hrs. I keep telling myself that it's possible with better scheduling. I don't really want to work. But I haven't worked in 8 yrs and this would bring me up to date and give me relevance if I need to work. It would help as we have rather depleted our savings with house projects, and now everything is so ridiculous. I have a meeting on Thursday and I'm starting to stress about it. I'm just afraid I'll run myself into the ground and also that I'll have no time for anything fun with the kids. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 We went to a birthday party. It was at a party place with arcade games and a bounce house and a toddler section. I stopped a 12 year old girl from putting a 9 week old baby on a merry-go-round, then from dropping her down the big kid slide, then something else, so I took the baby. In exchange some random woman I hadn't met took care of Isaac. She's from our church so she knew him, but works sound so we never talk. Real servants heart type of family. The big kids had a blast with the arcade the entire time. I taught a bunch of youngins how to play air hockey, pool, and whatever that soccer game is with the little people. Now I'm going to take an Epsom salt bath and listen to the Guardian's soundtrack. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(((Susan))) Eggs and cream cheese usually warm to room temp here in a couple hours, but that's also relative to the time of year/ temp in the house. If you want them room temp faster, defrost the cream cheese in the microwave and set the eggs in a bowl of warm (not hot) water. I want your cheesecake recipe! I've never made one, but I do have a springform pan and a houseful who all love cheesecake!

Wheres Toto Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Morning, Happy Tuesday. Blah blah, same old same old. I'm waiting to hear from realtor about bigger space. She originally told me we'd know by last Friday, I sent her a message yesterday and she replied with "I'll have update for your shortly" which could mean this week, this month, this year...... I have inside information and know we are getting new owners if everything with due diligence checks out okay so I'm surprised she didn't at least give me that update. I kind of hate when people don't give updates until they can give every single detail of the information. I worked as an executive assistant for many many many years, and in generally it was considered good business practice to keep people up-to-date as much as possible, and definitely be sure to give them something when promised. Even if it was just "we are waiting on information from xyz and will update you when we receive it". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about you, but most people clean out their email within that timeframe. I would find the relevant source of up-to-date requirements and email THAT. What they want vs what is actually required should probably be put in front of them to better help others that are being made to do the same.

Also, I have to up my game as a hostess because her friend was amazing. We didn't actually get to do much sight-seeing, but we went to a hula supply store and bought lots of adornments, and to a Hawaiian fabric store we've been buying from for years but hadn't met the owner IRL before, so that almost counts as sight-seeing, lol. We didn't have high expectations for going to All the Places, so we were not disappointed. 🙂 We're planning for next year. 🙂 Edited October 20, 2022 by Ellie 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
