Happy anniversary, Jean!

I agree with Kelly, dinner out!

My bible study groups are done and the coffee just finished. I'm headed to get a cup after this post.

  • meals
  • quick Facetime with my summer student since she's at the beach and has a question on her homework
  • more co-op class planning
  • got in my new drawing pen and tablet, so I need to practice with it (using it to write on the whiteboard I can share in Zoom)
  • talk ds into playing a game or two and maybe watching a movie (Dh is still out of town, so it's just me and him here.)

Christina, are you nervous about the CPAP? DH and I were just talking about his and how hard it was to adjust.  He just got a new one and it's quiet - I miss the whoosh of the machine! He can't sleep without it now.  ❤️ 

I have had it for about a month and a half.  I was a failure with it because I was taking it off during sleep and also I get up and didn't want to turn on lights.  I talked with the NP and I am on a starting week 2 of a six week program to get my body to accept the CPAP.  I am calling today because the instructions she gave me on the phone are not what she sent and I can\t figure it out on my machine.  Also, I am using the nose kind and I don't know if there is an issue with my normal breathe in and out of my nose if I am wearing the CPAP in my nose.

It has been storming on and off here all day.

Ds21, dd, and I had a brief, clear window to do evening chores and were just headed out when our grain delivery showed up. By the time that got unloaded, it was thundering like crazy again, so we sprinted through chores.

Dh and the kids got the cars situated in case there is hail tonight. We have 6 vehicles (one for each of us plus ds21's project truck) and only 2 garage spaces, so some of them have to get covered with tarps.

Our lab Ollie, who is sweet as can be but not the brightest bulb, is barking his head off at the tarps, even though he saw them being put on. He is convinced there are big scary monsters in our driveway...

One of our dogs is about as bright as Ollie, it sounds like. Ours won't come in a door he didn't go out of; it's like he forgets the other door exists. So, the dogs have a dog door to the back yard, which they use freely to come in & out. BUT, if he follows you outside through the human door (in a different location, as their door goes through the garage, ours is off the living room), he will NOT go back inside when he's ready via the dog door. 

So, he'll follow DH out while DH wants to do yard chores. Dog will get hot, bored, hungry, whatever, and go sit, patiently, at the back door (for the humans), waiting to be let back in the house. Even though he has a dog door, that he's likely used off & on all that very day, that he could use to go back inside. 

Even if his "sister" goes in (via the dog door) w/o him. 

He is something else, that dog. Good thing we love him!

Got almost nothing done on my list today. Will try again tomorrow. 

Just got home from outdoor family party at MIL's. Tedious, but I didn't have to make dinner

Trying to think through solutions to my newest CV19 problem/loss. Our charter church is not going to let our AHG troop (or many of their own ministries - they aren't picking on us) use the building for the forseeable future. We'll find a way, but it's gonna be a ton of work and stress and frustration. 

I haven't seen my mom since February 12. She lives 11 miles from me and is horribly lonely.
