MysteryJen Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Good morning! It is frigid out- 4 degrees- but in the Colorado way, we should be up to 40 this afternoon. Not much is on the agenda- we are hosting a sleepover for a crowd of dd2's friends tonight. The morning might be a bit crazy- but they are all 17 or 18 and should be able to figure out their lives pretty well. coffee/paper watch dh refuse a ride to work and layer all his clothes to bike in get dd2 off to school- she is dressed as a tennis player "the scariest thing she knows." morning chores ds3 up and working get basement ready for girls license plates? probably will wait until tomorrow more school with ds3 tennis finish getting the house read pick up ds3 from tennis hand out candy- last year, we didn't have very many- not sure about tonight not sure what will be for dinner Have a great day! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 A bit of a frustrating morning. Board dogs took longer than normal. One of the dogs wouldn't eat - which was a problem not only because she's skeletal (very very old) but mainly because her meds are hidden in her food. Then I had a dog drop off but the guy was over 15 minutes late while I shivered out in the cold. I think that the recalcitrant dog is now eating (I hid some treats in her food to make it more enticing). And I finally got to eat my own breakfast. human care is done my own pet care is done medical care is done - though I am in a flare. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Got my outside chores done for now. It's still snowing like crazy, with 6-7" on the ground. We've had flurries before on Halloween, but nothing like this. My horses are in a mood. They're not ready for winter yet, either! Texted my boys and told them to be careful if they drive anywhere today. Dh said the roads are a mess and there are accidents galore. Cleaned the kitchen, watered plants, started laundry, and dusted. Cleaned the fridge, too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurel-in-CA Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Spend the day in 3 layers of clothes waiting for my gas to be turned back on. Thankful that we didn't lose electricity during the fire and evacuation, so I don't have a nasty refrigerator to clean out. Thankful for returning to my own bed instead of an air mattress on friends' floor. Goodbye, Kincaid fire, please no more fires this year!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 Finally done with the dogs. Please remind me that I love dogs. But I will be so glad when the dog boarding owner comes back late Sunday. (There is nothing wrong with the dogs. It's just having to go back and forth multiple times throughout the day.)

SKL Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Howdy! Thursday is over here, but I wanted to check in as it was a pretty long and busy day. Kid 1 was up until 1:30am with her homework and shower! Ugh! I was up until about 5am working. Slept 2 hours. Got the kids up for school. Morning birthday celebration for housemate. Filled out school forms etc. Kids off to school on time with gym bags. Yay! Some house cleaning, mail processing. A little reading. Fed the bird. Lots of client work. It was a quarterly report deadline day. Emailed teacher re testing / special math help. Texted with trumpet teacher re schedule change. Picked up kids' friend who wanted to trick-or-treat with them. Dragged some Halloween decorations out of the basement and set them up. Enjoyed listening to the kids laughing nonstop as they tried to figure out their costumes. Sent kids off to trick-or-treat while I handed out / ate candy and finished some work reports. Out to dinner - birthday dinner for the housemate (kids' friend came along). Dropped off kids' friend after making plans to pick her up in the morning. Found a couple things friend left here; need to give them back tomorrow. Checked time for tomorrow's activity and figured out schedule / morning procedure. Kids to bed. More work reports. Probably some other stuff. Now I need to get some sleep, because tomorrow is going to be an even longer day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
