Susan in TN Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Good morning! I'd like second sleep but it will have to wait until later. I had foot/leg cramps quite a bit last night and then had a very bad headache and had to get up to take something. It's a bit better. Ds27 is leaving for church/work and I need to wake everyone up for breakfast. Nothing else on the calendar for today. Coffee! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The girls’ school has been using them for like 30 years. They’ve been doing this trip for a long time. We left LAX on a red-eye on Friday night, March 24 and went to Jamestown Island, Williamsburg, Washington DC, Gettysburg, Amish Country and Philadelphia.

I have ancestors in Williamsburg; supposedly, a couple of them are buried in the grave yard at Bruton Parish Church in Colonial Williamsburg. Their grandson is one of my DAR Patriots. Also, one of my ancestors was a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses pre-Revolutionary War (not the same ancestor as DAR). I'm hoping to go back there within the next year to check out the graveyard myself, as well as the pews in the church, as some Internet sites say that my ancestor's name is on one of them. How kewl is that? Also, I haven't proven this, but Ancestry says I have an ancestor in Jamestown, Virginia. I would like to prove that one, but I don't know if it's possible. Interesting, though. 🙂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Good morning! It's The Queen's favorite day! Got up at 4:30 this morning because the Pup was whining at my door. So I threw on my shawl and sandals and took him out to potty. Blueberry oatmeal for breakfast and then the three youngest and I all went out to walk puppy together. Then I drove dd20 to classes and now I am proctoring physics tests. We have a wedding to attend this afternoon, so we will be skipping all our usual afternoon and evening activities. There's a mockingbird at my birdfeeder. Coffee! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 It's bedtime. We went to the wedding. It was lovely. There was a reception and mostly people I did not know and I was sorta wanting to get my brownie and escape but I promised the girls they could stay for a couple of dances and I managed to get ds18 to do the Virginia Reel with me. 🙂 Then we went home.

On both my parents' sides, I have ancestors in Virginia or North Carolina in the early 1600s. Joining DAR--that is, being eligible to join and doing the paperwork to do so--has really opened up a whole new realm to me, as neither of my parents ever talked about that, so I'm sure the didn't even know. Especially not my mother, even though there's a cemetery in Hatteras, NC, right next to Aunt Brittie's house, where an American Revolutionary War Patriot is buried, who happens to be our ancestor. In fact, there is a significant number of Patriots from the OBX, a fact which is never discussed, ever. I guess it was more fun to do pirates and pirate jamborees and whatnot than Patriots. 🙂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I woke up at 6am, started to get breakfast then it occurred to me that I didn't actually teach until 1pm today and there was really no need for me to go in at 8am when dh could come home at lunch and take dd and me in at that time.

Dd20 is still in school and the invitations need to be sent out soon. Not a good idea if she wants to do well on finals.

Susan in TN Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Good morning! For the past couple days I've had this little cloud of anxiety looming over me and I have not been able to figure out what it stems from. Maybe just anticipation of all the year-end stuff coming up. Anyways. I don't have much going on today. Have to walk the pup and then the kids have general lessons and youth group tonight. I am hoping to get my garden mums planted today.

Here, dh doesn't see the pain of paying for electric, but since the landlord does, I'm weaning the family off of the heater. They can handle it. (or maybe they're spoiled babies.

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Trying my long term hike (which I keep adding onto) from the opposite direction. The biggest question has been answered. There are bathrooms on this end! Phew! I was turned around and got on a trail going the opposite direction from where I wanted to go. Down (and then up again) in a beautiful ravine. A much higher difficulty hike than my normal. Juliet was very timid on steep grated steps but followed my lead. So Day 214 hike with Juliet that actually didn’t kill me and was beautiful. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 well, we got the prom dress. I don’t know. I have nothing to say. She likes it and i wouldn’t say it’s inappropriate, but I don’t like it. But, it’s her dress. We got it at Macy’s. Which is supposed to be a nice department store, but I couldn’t find a salesclerk to save my life, and when I did i practically had to wrangle her to the cash register and then she forgot to take the theft control thingie off, so we set the alarm off. And the store just had that “uncared for” feel to it. We went to a mall that used to be nice, but it was gross. There were security guards everywhere and the shoppers all looked like AFSA shoppers. And the Big City had too much traffic and potholes everywhere and I am just grumpy. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I'm still under the weather. One eye keeps watering; both eyes are not quite black, but still making me look worse than I feel. Some mild head congestion, a little sore throat. I've been feeling funky since Sunday. No fever. I didn't teach hula yesterday, didn't go to my line dance class today. Tryina decide if I should go to the doctor tomorrow; guess I'll wait and see how I feel tomorrow. And it's my field trip day; I don't want to waste it going to the doctor. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Morning. I still feel crappy too. But I do think it's at least 50% allergies. There is pollen everywhere. Results of my endo biopsy came back. Everything clear but hard to get sample because of too much lining. Dr has me taking progesterone for two weeks to induce a period to shed the lining. What fun. Can't wait for the bloating, cramps, crankiness to begin. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baby is still up at science camp. She called yesterday. I think she is homesick. Today I have a driving day. One meeting with a very sweet family, but it’s all the way out on the west side of the county. It is a nice drive, though, mostly country driving.

Susan in TN Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Good morning! (((Ellie))) and (((Toto))) Who has the bunny slippers? I’ll send Hannah the Traveling Nurse to pamper sick people and make some nourishing soup. I’m currently in the Aldi parking lot. It doesn’t open for a while but I was already out the door bringing Sir Pups-a-lot to the groomer. So here I am. The bank isn’t even open yet. There are too many people who need to be at places tonight and not enough vehicles. We’re working on it but I suspect that I will have to miss orchestra rehearsal again.

Ellie Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I was hoping to feel better today, but...no. Sore throat, stuffy head, even my eyes are runny. ::heavy sigh:: I wanted to check in here, then I'm off for some quick breakfast and then a snuggle under my favorite blankie, maybe to watch a movie or two while I doze off. I pondered going to the doctor, but...it's a lot of work to get there, and he'll probably tell me to go home, rest, and drink lots of fluids, which I can do without his advice. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
