Thanks for starting this @ScoutTN 

Drop off FedEx package at walgreens, who knew they did that too?! 

Drop off UPS store returns from Amazon 

Go to a dollar store 

Hopefully do some school 

No clue for dinner 

Daughter-in-law has an interview today for a customer service job at home which would be perfect for her, so I'm praying hard for that! 

Just trying to come out of my funk, this one's lasting a bit longer than they normally do. Trying to get back to my sunshine self LOL 

Hope everyone has a great day today!

Howdie!  Today started out pretty well for me ... other than my 14yo complaining that she can't sit at school all day because of something that happened with a horse yesterday.  She really thinks she gets a day off school every time her barn fun goes overboard?

Things are in a bit of limbo mid-late morning because of the pup fence training ... dude was expected to come and give a 30 minute training between 10am and 12am, meaning we're completely ready at 10am ... but nothing.  An hour later we called, and it sounds like there has been some miscommunication and we may or may not be rescheduled for Friday.  Oh well, having cleaned the kitchen for the guy isn't a bad thing, right?

Done:

• Woke the kids up and got ready for morning duties.
• Kid whining and putzing because she.just.can't.  So I took the pup out and made my coffee.
• Took out the garbage.
• Drove the kids to school.  They were on time, yay!  Kid2 hates me for making her go though.
• Took a short walk in order to enjoy the beautiful morning sky with golden clouds.
• Took a shower / hair wash since I have to see people tonight.
• A little reading.
• Cleaned the kitchen for company.
• More pup stuff.
• Caught up on emails, calendar, news, social media, and electronic school stuff.
• A little client work.  Difficult to focus due to many distractions, but I got some done.
• Fence training rescheduled.
• Sister called to chat just as I was getting focused on work.  She just hung up at noon.

To do:

• Lots more client work.
• Pick up the kids about 3pm.  Make them do pup duty and homework.
• CERT swear-in at 6pm.
• If CERT ends early, we can participate in a virtual open house for career tech education for 11th grade.
• Laundry.
• Whatever else gets done.

Still in my PJs, reading news and stuff. It's so cold in my upstairs and we need to turn on the heater but we can't until we can open all the windows. So I'm dilly-dallying my shower. Must get going....lol

Good afternoon!

@MooCow, I hope you are able to get out of this funk quickly!

I'm late today. I've had long classes today. I had some kind of lightheaded feeling during the night and this morning. It's a little alarming being here alone. My blood pressure and pulse are fine, but I do have a bit of pressure in my head. Maybe it's sinuses. 

4 of my Zoom sessions are over. 

I had breakfast but haven't eaten lunch. I'll do that quickly before my next class. 

I plan to make dinner for dh  then go to church. I need to pick up my prescription while I'm over there for it.

Ate lunch and cleaned up
Chatted with Dd
Entered a bunch of transactions into YNAB, though I am still out of balance. No time or energy to fix it now.
Paid a bill
Culled my inbox
 

Wow, I am really tired. I think I had coffee too soon after my thyroid pill this morning? Not a great night for a late activity, but we are headed to the C.S. Lewis movie after church tonight. Maybe it's just the gray, cold day? Need to get my Happy Light out! Having green tea and some Lily's chocolate.
 

Gonna go put together our new vacuum and see how it does. We have LOTS of dog hair!

@mom31257 do you have low blood sugar?

I don't know. Maybe? There was a lot of type 2 diabetes on my mom's side of the family. I took a Claritin and felt better, but that was also after eating breakfast and lunch. 

Maybe I should get a meter to check it.

5th class done.

Dinner is done. 

Going to leave early for church to pick up the prescription and a couple other things.

My kids are excited! The pet adoption place down the street from our piano studio is open again! They love to pet the kittens and puppies during their sibling’s lesson time.

Well, my kids and I are now official members of the Community Emergency Response Team.  We got our badges and certificates and bags full of tools and supplies to save the world with.  😛

As expected, one of my kids wants me to do some laundry tonight.  She'd better get the clothes to me pretty soon though.

Got the prescription and went to church. We have a worship type service on the first Wednesdays.

I'm still feeling good. Praying I have a good night's sleep without any interruptions and that my anxiety about it will stay down. 

Tonight, I'm thankful that this church community is seeming like a good choice. It will take time, but I do believe we'll connect with people.

The movie was fun! Ds didn’t want to go, so church friends dropped him at home after youth group. 
 

Took meds, had a snack, started the dishwasher, adjusted the thermostat, and am now snuggled into bed in my flannel jammies.
 

Reading The Girls of Atomic City and really enjoying it.
