Critterfixer Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Morning. It's a gray and cool outside. Not feeling much like spring. Today's goals: House: laundry, dishes, cat boxes, linens, bed, bath School: usual. We are close to finished with science for the year. Cooking: chicken and dumplings, fried apples, roast potatoes Writing: Revise two chapters in two different novels, read two chapters in novel that I'm planning to revise the sequel to soon, revisions to two short stories, personal reading Art: Keep working on Trees. I did a bunch of scrubbing last night, and now I need to add more colors and shadows, and make sure I have everything the way I want it before I close out that exercise and tackle something new. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My paints just got of the quarantine shelf. 🙂 It is kind of exciting when stuff you want to use gets out of quarantine. Today: School: light. Keep our toes in math, languages, and piano; focus on music education, incl.: some classical music history; some American art history; and watching one of the videos we have that a piano teacher sent to us (these are pretty cool, she's showing the boys contemporary compositions -- @Critterfixer: possibly y'all would get a kick out of the Ping Pong Concerto, and it is short'n sweet; if you'd like more musical distractions, I can post all her links). Covid-19: work on 3 or 4 things from my to-do list: contact F. to offer help; respond to RPG group e-mail; set up supplies for a card-making/letter writing station with boys; order filters for homemade masks; begin a notebook for planning; short list of things to prepare spare bedroom & bath for quarantine; draft school necessaries for next year; draft home necessaries; Life: order contact lenses; find first day/week of financial planning & home cleaning plans; extra credit: implement day 1 finance, day 1 cleaning Exercise: boys; me. House: sheets; round or two of cleaning; have boys work in rooms and on desks, outdoors make sure new clover is watered. Dinner: take-out tonight.

Isn't it, though? I had a stack of books and two tubes of much needed watercolor, and I've been eyeing that stack for the last few days with anticipation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Morning. It's bright and sunny, but we are expecting rain to move in tonight and stay through the weekend. Today's goals: House: laundry, dishes, cat boxes School: short day, only math and art Cooking: roast, potatoes, gravy, pie Writing: Two chapters to revise/rewrite, reading one of my novels, personal reading, 3 query critiques. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serendipitous journey Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Morning! Today's stuff: Get to yesterday's "misses": listen to a contemporary music link; work on history of classical music; exercise all around. School: languages, math, and science (at least READ science); contact online teacher RE summer lessons Home: Couple rounds of cleaning; prep. for finance "meeting" with DH and have a rough budget with goals after our meeting; hack away at Covid list I wrote yesterday; straighten out our food closet/freezer a bit and figure out good purchases as we slowly stock up on essentials; work on finance day 2, finance challenge 1, cleaning day 1 and day 2; back computer/tablet up. Garden: water clover, weed, spend a few minutes planning hedge with focus on edible/bird-friendly/pollinator plants, spend few minutes planning the children's gardens, find a spot for some little food crops: we have lots of oak trees and are on the shady side of a hill, which makes it interesting, but have had luck with cherry tomatoes and also beans and salad greens. Try to move from a place of joy, enthusiasm and hope. Edited April 2, 2020 by serendipitous journey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyof1 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Hey All, She has been doing school all this time I just haven't been posting it. FLL 1 arrived today and she did 3 lessons. Beast Academy 2 Math Puzzles. She finished reading Little House in the Big Woods yesterday. Tonight she reads to me Little House on the Prairie 1 chapter. Her new Map, Charts and Graphs workbook. Penmanship was her poem she was to remember. She buddy read chapter 12 of the book of Mark from the Bible with Dad. Memory work- books of the Bible and Bible verse. Watched 2 episodes from the Mr. Phil Show about the book of Ephesians. Usually she would have a monthly devotional but since church is closed we weren't able to get Aprils. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Morning. Raining today. Maybe that will help keep people in? They finally closed our state parks to camping, but day trips are still allowed. Today's tasks: House: laundry, dishes, cat boxes, linens (didn't get to those Monday due to extra laundry from weekend stuff) School: the usual Cooking: making some chicken strips and fried fish fillets for snacking, and I might make hushpuppies Writing: Two chapters to revise, reading in my book, a query to revise, and I'll probably crack open my short synopsis and look at it again. Some character work. Personal reading. Art: Dump all my paint tubes in a basket so I can get to it easily whenever I want it. I always try to be neat and organized with it, but that's not really conducive to my creativity for whatever reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serendipitous journey Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Good afternoon! Today's schedule: as little as possible 🙂 Keeping up with piano, some classical music history, bit of American art; lots of time outside; catch up on my lists from earlier in the week, above; exercise; dinner (roast veggies, bread rolls, and leftovers; maybe some dessert); let my thoughts wander a bit and find the shape of what of what we're moving into, get an intuition for what we should be working toward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
