Tackling Thursday Together

[mom31257]

Good morning!

So dh hurt his thumb at practice last night, and it's hurting pretty bad. He does not want to file another worker's comp claim. I told him to take ibuprofen for a couple of days and see how it feels. Maybe he can just go to a walk-in clinic this weekend on our insurance if it still is. There's no visible problem so maybe it's just a strain. Who knew his hands were getting old, too? LOL!

• breakfast and lunch for dh
• shower and get dressed
• 4 Zoom sessions
• medicine
• coffee
• devotion and write scripture
• meals
• decide on BJ spread for next week and work on it
• not sure what else this evening

Well, it's been an interesting day so far.

• Got a call before 6am from my boss / housemate.  Assumed it wasn't important (she tends to be naggy), so I sent it to voice mail.  Got another call, answered it.  Housemate had decided to go out in the dark to take the pup to potty.  Never made it to the potty place, thanks to a sheet of ice.  Was sitting out there calling housemates and nobody was answering.  So I'm glad I answered the second call I heard.  Luckily I am strong and was able to pick her up (she has physical issues making it very hard to get up, especially off of an ice sheet.)  Hopefully this will convince her to do some daily stretching exercises!
• Cleaned the kitchen and set it up for Kid2's birthday celebration.  Did cake and presents.
• Kid1 has been having "symptoms," so I used a home Covid test on her, and got a very slight pink line.  Almost can't see it, but 3 of us say it's pink, so that's that.  Nobody needs to go to school, yay.  Kid2 can play with her birthday gifts all day.
• Contacted school re absence / Covid.  Nurse called and got her contact info etc.  Only 2 contacts and at least one of them already had Covid, so that's good.  My kids can go back on Tuesday provided nobody has symptoms.
• Contacted friends to cancel the weekend fun stuff we'd planned for Kid2's birthday.  TBH I am relieved about that.  Hope we can reschedule without the same level of stress.  Kid2 is rolling with the punches.
• Called the dentist to reschedule next Monday's appointment for my girls.
• I'm not feeling so terrific myself, but I will wait and take the in-person test I scheduled for tomorrow.

I have lots of client work to do, but right now I'm not feeling it.  Maybe after a nap.

I've eaten everything bad and nothing good so far today.  I have not done my exercise.  I did do a tiny bit of reading.

Birthday dinner will be ordered out and eaten at home.

Happy Thursday, all!

@mom31257 Amy- hope your hubby's hand feels better soon. 😞

 @SKL -pretty wild morning! Here's to hoping for a nice mild bout for all.

Coffee
-21 windchill here so DS17 is running DD15 to class (spasticity is affected by cold so if I shiver, my legs go straight like a board and can't bend - no good for driving!)
Watch PBS hot air balloon video and look at cool hot air balloons.
Bible
Bible with kiddos
School stuff - write government plans
Dinner: Shepherd's Pie
Get lesson plans to my AHG substitutes for next week!

We're five days from DH's surgery! (3rd back surgery - double fusion, very hopeful this one is a game changer.)

Didn't sleep well.

Hungry but don't feel like eating.

Outlook keeps crashing.

At least I'm only working 2 days this week and I am mostly cleaning up old business right now.

@mom31257 and @SKL prayers for good healing 

Snow day here and tomorrow 

shower, bake, make roast in my dutch oven that I keep forgetting I have 

dd works less than 2 miles from our house, however I'm so glad she's working from home today, and hopefully tomorrow. She parroted back most accidents happen within one mile of your house lol 

oldest is off work too, I kind of wish they lived close again because all of the adult kids would just go out with youngest and have a blast and in all of this snow!

She hates the snow! Definitely a beach baby!

[mom31257]

@SKL, happy birthday to your kid! I'm sorry you are all sick. Praying for easy and speedy recoveries! 

@plaidpants, welcome to the tackle thread! I'm sorry you aren't having the best of days. 

Breakfast and lunch done. 

3 Zoom sessions done and 1 more to go 

[ScoutTN]

Very loungey day. About to have some soup, then go out for a walk in the snow.

[TheReader]

Soup sounds delicious; putting that on the menu for tonight. 

Done with school with DS.

Done with the projects (sewing) and wrote the notes; will venture out tomorrow for envelopes & such to mail them. 

Folded the laundry, started one more load. 

As I still have time, I think I'm going to pick out one more little mini thing I have made and start quilting it up for a 3rd friend. This is fun! 

Wrote a friend and broke the news, no, we can't come to fencing tonight (it is Day 10). :sigh: Next week....

Thanks @mom31257. It's been a day but it's nearly done. 🙂

[ScoutTN]

Did  some college research and started the process of getting Dd accommodations for the SAT.
Took an walk in the snow. Pretty, but the wind blew stinging snow into my face for a while. Glad to be inside now.
Built a fire
Making chx nachos for my dinner
 

AHG Zoom shortly.

[TheReader]

Laundry is in the dryer, and a load of sheets in the wash

Dinner (potato soup) is simmering

[mom31257]

Finished my last Zoom session. 

Dh is going to be working from home tomorrow because they will be doing distance learning. There will most likely be a lot of ice on back roads around here from the rain that came before freezing temps tonight. His thumb is still hurting but he wants to give it another day or two before seeing anyone. 

I wasted some time online and am about to get dinner ready. I'm making sub sandwiches with an old Pampered Chef recipe we love. 

 

[MooCow]

Homemade quesadillas for dinner because the roast wasn't going to be done in time. I'm on my second batch of brownies cooking in the oven. The dishwasher is almost completely loaded. I'm waiting until I take a shower and wash my hair, then I'll come downstairs into the kitchen and probably have to load more dirty dishes. I put the roast back in the oven with the last batch of brownies 

Then I'll start DHS laundry that he finally brought down, and hopefully my neighbor best friend will be ready for me. 

I keep laughing at that picture of my granddaughter my son next with me 😅

Horrible voice to text lol

[plaidpants]

Got some cough meds (allergies/asthma, nothing serious) and some chicken soup, plus some holds came in at the library. Early bedtime today but generally feeling better.
