Susan in TN Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) Yesterday I finished a book that I started a long time ago called How to Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis. It's a remarkable book and I highly recommend it. I've now started Three Cups of Tea which is pretty interesting so far. We're having BLT sandwiches and a cucumber basil salad for dinner.

Wheres Toto Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 We have grackles. Dh turns into the old man running outside waving his hands at them when they come around. They swarm the feeders and eat all the seed and bully the smaller birds. But we have some blue jays that bully the grackles right back and refuse to leave. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Good morning! It's Friday! I don't seem to be able to sleep more than 6 hours, but at least I'm getting that much most nights lately. My stabbing shoulder pain returned this morning, but usually after a couple ibuprofen and some time it will be manageable. I am planning to run a couple errands and grocery shop this morning. This afternoon is the music camp concert and the girls come home. Coffee! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the hot water pipe is leaking or burst. Our house is built on a concrete slab, so i don’t know how all that is supposed to work, but I was hearing the word “jack hammer”. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Morning Happy Saturday. Today is laundry day. And organizing day. And some paperwork day. I have a lot of reorganizing I want to do around the house but it would probably be easier to wait until 4th of July week when I'm off but dh will be at work. It's hard to get things big cleaning/organizing done when he's here watching tv. Both kids had their yearly physicals this past week. Both are healthy, no concerns, growing well. It's been raining, sometimes torrentially, for the past couple days. So no trips to the lake. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Good morning. It was another rough night. Not cuz of today’s talk or anything. I was in a fair amount of pain so I took a pain pill before bed but it did nothing. Then it was hot. I have to figure out a solution because where the a/c is, Juliet doesn’t like it and will refuse to come to bed. So I had it on beforehand to cool things down and then turned it off but it was too hot. Juliet asked to go outside around six. I put her outside and then turned on the a/c. Then fell asleep again. I woke up an hour later than usual but it won’t impact my schedule because I don’t leave until right after a very small lunch. (Small because there will be food at the tea. ). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Our bedroom doesn't have air conditioning because it was just dh building walls around our bed. We have a fan in the wall to bring in air but dh can't sleep with it on so the bedroom gets really hot sometimes. And then I was getting hot flashes/night sweats for a while and it was a miserable situation. I bought this cooling blanket, at the suggestion of someone here on the forums, and it really works very well. I use it over a sheet and it works fine through that layer. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09PJ9V8MT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
