serendipitous journey Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) Good morning. I plumb forgot to check in yesterday, after a day of craziness ... @Critterfixer: hoping your headache subsides and stays gone. So sorry that it returned, and I hope the rest of life goes more smoothly as compensation. Today is math, languages; music focus for younger; some time to plan; household things to manage; chores; dinner -- ???? maybe homemade pizza, we're eating early b/c younger has online piano at 6; fitness. Plus, gratitude for peaceful transitions of power in our democracy. Notes here: moody teen threw things off a bit this am. Going proactive on this: minimize impact of mood swings, downplay drama & don't reward it, keep calm & carry on Latin is an issue these days. Need to crack down on his vocab acquisition (no device time until he has it down, less device time when he has to spend that time mastering vocab) AND start pulling in MP Form Latin review for forms, grammar questions. may need to re-instate Greek, since a great attitude at school was the condition of him dropping it. Fun. Get more stuff into Anki. Edited January 21, 2021 by serendipitous journey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 Sadly, the day didn't listen to you, @serendipitous journey The headache didn't either, but it did decide to take a backseat, and that was a good thing. All I managed yesterday was 2000 words on one project, and I wrote most of them between 7 and 9 pm. But, I did write! Today's goals: Don't have more things happen than did yesterday. That would be good. House: chores, house sweep School: usual Cooking: Breakfast for dinner Writing: 4000-6000 words, personal reading, Beta reading, revision reading. All the reading. Art: continue project Exercise: walk 2 miles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serendipitous journey Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 So sorry to hear about your head, and about the rest of life not being accommodating. Hope springs eternal &c, so: am hoping today was better! Yesterday's dinner was such a disaster that we were all laughing hysterically. Well, DH was good-naturedly grimacing. Nonetheless: all were fed and the grilled pizza wasn't too burnt for DH & I to eat; boys had various stuff we could cull from the 'fridge. And: g'evening! Today was a satisfactory hodge-podge of school, chores, a couple of errands, some RPB work, and decompressing. Also: this afternoon was my first real break from a back pain I've developed in a couple of weeks. want to note what seemed to work: 1. took break from running for a couple of days; 2. picked up micro-ballet; 3. did yoga; 4. did mini-step aerobics session(s) of 5". And rotated NSAIDS 😉 Hope it works again tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
