Wheres Toto Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Happy Monday. I was feeling crappy all day today. Didn't sleep well, then didn't have many options for breakfast (dh worked all weekend so didn't grocery shop) so had chocolate donuts, which didn't hit my stomach well. Came home from work and took a nap, then had a healthy dinner and I feel much better now. Hoping for a better Tuesday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Good Morning!! COFFEE!!~D Tuesday!! And even though it is Easter Break I am up at my regular Tuesday time. Well, at least I don’t have to work.

Servant4Christ Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I'm trying to do something soooo simple that I literally can't make or even beg my computer or phone to do it.

Susan in TN Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I remembered to take down the harbor bell chime which is used every year to end our Good Friday service and brought it inside to clean it off a bit and found a WASP!!! stuck to the clapper and got thoroughly freaked out even though I'm pretty sure it's dead.

Junie Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Good Morning! Happy Wednesday! This year has been so busy! Dd17 will be graduating from homeschool this year, and the final semester is so much work for both of us.

Susan in TN Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Good morning! I woke up in the middle of the night and my brain wouldn't shut up so I'm extra tired this morning.

KrissiK Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Humph Day!! This week is flying by. I need it to stop!! Middle DD has a dentist appointment this morning and then we are going shopping in the Big City. I am bringing dinner to my hairdresser tonight because her dad passed away and life is kind of in an uproar for her right now. but, I have that mostly prepped, so it should be easy to put together when we get home. Yesterday I had my girlfriends over in the morning and got my hair done in the afternoon, and made some phone calls. Svengo. And started another book, “Where Did You Go, Bernadette?” by Maria Semple, which I believe Susan mentioned recently. Love it. Love it.

Susan in TN Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I'm pooped. String quartet was great - we played a set of 5 short pieces by Hindemith, then a Beethoven which was an almost comical disaster and then a minimalist piece by Pärt which was very fascinating despite the fact that my part consisted of holding two notes the entire piece. I stopped by Kroger on the way home to get a few things. It took me longer than usual because I was working off 3 different lists - Easter list, misc. list, and coupon list. But eventually it all got in the cart and now must put everything away. I wish my iPad would stop trying to make me a better writer. iOS is an idiot. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 iTired. I took the girls shopping today. Got some good bargains, including a $54 pair of jeans at JC Penny’s marked down to $7-something. The total with tax was $8.77. Very happy about that. Made dinner for my hairstylist. It turned out good, I was very glad. I’m always afraid I’m going to bring a meal to someone and they will think it’s gross. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Good morning! Little Pup threw up his dinner on the front porch last night and some animal cleaned it up for us in the night. I'm guessing opossum. I think our little bunny Hazel is not long for this world. She's quite elderly. Her brother died a year and a half ago. Some People have left for tutorial, others will leave soon for work, and I will be home looking for our eclipse glasses. Coffee! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Morning, Happy Thursday. Today is just a regular old Thursday. I"m not doing my first class since I have too many students absent and the one student that is here went into class with his siblings instead. No meetings tonight, no classes tomorrow, but a super busy weekend. Dh and I are presenting a workshop at a science workshop day for 4H and then, of course, Sunday is Easter. Dh is cooking dinner but we're eating at dd's apartment since she has more space and it's about halfway between our house and my mother's house so a little more convenient. dd is having lunch/brunch with her dad so it's hard for her to make dinner at my mom's out in the boonies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 So, we had the meeting. That went fine. It was better than I had hoped.

Susan in TN Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Good morning! A blessed Good Friday to you. Dd17 is trying to convince her troop/venture crew to schedule a trip to BSA Swamp Base in Louisiana. Paddling through and camping on swamps. Yay Snakes! Mud! Bugs! Alligators! 😭 One thing is for sure - I have not managed to raise any Southern Princesses, lol. We are planning a bunny funeral for today. I think dd21 will try to get here for it - she doesn't have work or class today. The afternoon/evening will be spent in Good Friday services (and rehearsal). I might try to start on banana pudding. Coffee! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I live in the 89% band from the eclipse so we aren't planning to go anywhere. We have a 95% chance of it being cloudy that day (although do they really know this far ahead??). I'll see what the weather looks like for that day and we may take a trip about 30 miles Northeast to High Point NJ and watch from there. Or not. I do have glasses and binoculars to watch with if the weather cooperates. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I've been putting milk in my tea for the past week because it's supposed to be better for teeth and I'm definitely getting some staining/weakness. But I've also been super achy this week and I'm wondering if it could be due to the milk. I don't have milk often, mainly just occasionally in cereal or what's used in cooking, and I do get achy/feel a little yucky when I eat cereal but I've always blamed it on the cereal. Maybe it's the milk? There been a few other choices this week that could also be contributing. How many days does it take for inflammatory foods to leave your system? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
