KungFuPanda Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 You can’t start tackling Tuesday at 2 a.m! I call shenanigans! My first task is to go back to sleep. I don’t know why I woke up or why I even grabbed my phone, but both seem unwise. I wanted to play with power tools, but it’s supposed to rain all day so I may have to just do boring laundry instead. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is because many on different time zones start the day while I'm still snoozing. I am up at 3 a.m. my time though. I'm in uber pain and just had to eat a bite so that I could take my breakthrough pain meds. I am glad that I was able to actually sleep before this but it is annoying that pain often doesn't hit me until hours after I do an activity - then wham. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Good morning! (((Jean))) I hope the rest of the night was better for you! Tough morning here - FIL passed away a little while ago. We had been expecting it. He was quite ill for the past several years with dementia, diabetes, and heart problems, and then was diagnosed with cancer recently, too. So lots of mixed feelings and being sad he is gone while also glad that he is no longer suffering. office work - end of the month things declutter area around my computer sweep or vacuum main floor & steps soak Snorri's foot in epsom salts 2x (he has another abscess) pay my whopping hay bill - happiness is two sheds full of hay! farrier visit? waiting to hear from him write a couple emails read dinner: I think it will be a fend for yourself night 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteryJen Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I am sorry about your FIL, Selkie. When my dad passed (dementia and a head injury from a fall), it was that weird combination of grief and relief. Prayers for your dh and family. I have been up early-cleaned the shelves in the refrigerator because everything is so bare- I must go to the store today! dh is home today- probably many calls- seems to be a crisis at work. second cup of coffee update calendar (mostly done) checked in with dh with work being done today (installation of a garage door opener- dh is very excited), concrete guys coming to finish this afternoon. errand day: grocery store, bank, gas, library ds3: school, gym, club tennis jen things: read, crochet, some more cutting of fabric update to-do list for yard probably chicken something for dinner Have a great day! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Hi folks, happy Tuesday. I'm kinda pi$$ed at myself. I fell asleep last night without finishing my walking. My total walking yesterday was less than 2 miles ... for the first time since March. I mean, I guess it's good that I got some sleep, but .... As for my pride, I guess I can still say I've walked every day, because I did some in the wee hours of 9/28 and some more in the evening. Just not enough. 😕 And today is a weird day. It is really unclear what the kids are supposed to be doing on this first day of "hybrid" school. The way I interpret the written instructions, nowhere does it say my kids' "cohort" [based on last initial] has to log into any real-time class until at least Thursday. They are supposed to be doing "independent learning" through Wednesday. But during the school tour last night, the "deputy principal" said they need to follow the regular 8-period school day and log in starting at 7:50am, Tues-Fri. I checked over and over and I don't see this ... my kids agree with me ... so if we're truant, we're truant. Obviously I'm not smart enough for high school. Work-wise, I got some good work out so far, so let's hope it continues. Done: Slept, and got up at 5:something, woo hoo. Caught up on calendar, news, emails, and social media. Working on coffee 2. Sent out / reviewed several reports & a total of 14 client emails so far. Some texts, technology issues, and woke the lazy kids up a couple times. To do: Lots more client work. I have a few big investor reports due, which will take a lot of time, plus revising, reviewing, and explaining numbers for a major transaction that is supposed to happen today. Also invoices etc. Reading, walking, yoga, TKD practice. Kids have music lesson at 4pm. Will probably have to do some homework help later. Whatever else gets done. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 okay, figured out what to do for 2nd grade, minus the math (I did find what I will use, just too migraine-brain to completely sort it right now) and science is going to need tweaking, but I have it decided on. Going to bed to hopefully kick the migraine to the curb. I can tell the medicine is working, now it's time for sleep to hopefully do the rest. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 Dh and I have disassembled, washed and moved the shelving unit to my field kitchen downstairs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 And it took some doing but dh managed to get the drawers out of the kitchen desk. I managed to transport them down the stairs without killing myself. I was hoping to continue to do purging during this process but we've run out of time for that. It's now dump stuff and transport it as we can, time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
