SKL Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Hi guys. Last night I took my pup to the emergency vet because he kept vomiting. He's still there. They are probably taking the second set of exrays about now. They suspect an obstruction and want to see if it is passing on its own. Need I say that I haven't gotten anything productive done in the past 18 hours? I have some work to do and send out today. I hope I can focus enough to get it done. Thinking most of my other plans for today are shot. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Oh, I hope the pup does okay, @SKL! of course you can't get things done while waiting to know. Keep us posted as you can. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I got in the middle of/mostly done with figuring out DS's language arts, and our internet went down, so I took a nap, DH reset the modem, and now I'm going to try again. Grabbing a snack of some sort, then back to it. Also, the blue jay is hanging out a lot today...I love our amateur neighborhood bird watching since DH put up the feeder out front! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Praying for your dog, @SKL Today is a frustrating one! A new student has big deal articulation issues and cannot make all the letter sounds - need to ask if she’d be better with a tutor who also an SLP. Will try one more day this week, then see what my boss says. A call I scheduled an advisor from our umbrella school is somehow cancelled? She says I didn’t confirm, but I have an email confirmation? I rearranged my entire Friday around this call. I contacted her again; waiting to hear back. Swim meet was over before Ds even got out of football practice. Heaps of desk work I need to do, but no laptop available. I moved the laundry and started the dishwasher. And sorted the mail. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I hope the afternoon improves, @ScoutTN! I got DS's language arts ordered, and some stuff for my classes. DH bought our plane tix to DC - we were able to use my Paypal balance for both of those large purchases! Yay! (I have 2 families, both with 2 kids each, that paid all last year via Paypal.....). Debating a few other things for school, but not time to buy those yet, so will wait. I need to read up on some of them (dry paint sticks vs. paint/water, but I'd like to read reviews for a good brand) Folded the clothes, now to put away mine and get the boys down to put away theirs. Next up - research hotels, then go sew. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Ok, clothes are put away, DH is going to be in charge of researching hotels, we're going to do our fencing drills now before we go to dance later, and that still leaves me time to sew. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were going to drive when it was going to be all of us. Then the boys all balked and said "well, given the option, we'd prefer to stay home..." so then we didn't want to be gone long enough to drive w/them home alone, so now, flying. We go end of July, just for a long weekend. I'm so looking forward to it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Meant to check in this morning but forgot. Today: Wrote and submitted 2 articles. Submitted the 2 I wrote yesterday. Laundry Pulled weeds in the flower bed early before it got so hot (Its a real scorcher here this week) Took dd to an appointment and Violin lessons Hit walmart and picked up groceries while we were out Paid the electric bill While I was waiting in the car for dd, I forced myself to make the three phone calls I've been procrastinating on for two weeks. So my kids' eye appointments are now scheduled and so is my Mammo. And our woodstove/fireplace has come in, So we now need to go pick it up and phase 2 of our summer of construction can commence. Still didn't clean out the pantry but I'm gonna shove that to tomorrow. I did have plans for my ds to have friends over for games tomorrow but he's sick so that's not happening. So tomorrow is open for other chores. Hoping to get in a 2 mile run after 7:30 when I can do it without keeling. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 @SKL, hoping the puppy will be okay!! @ScoutTN, did you get to have your call? I had such a nice breakfast out with my friend. We discovered more we have in common, so that's even better. Plans for my sister changed, and she came today. I wasn't finished with all the cleaning, but I did have the guest bedroom ready as well as the guest bath. I did a quick tidy of the main areas. After 10 months of waiting, we finally have the full set of 6 chairs for our dining table! About to go find a movie to watch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 @ScoutTN, glad you did okay with the riding on the interstate! I have developed major anxiety driving on the interstate in the last year and a half. I had a couple incidents that I believe contributed to it, and I can't really do it anymore. I drove some to my sister's house and struggled but did it. Then I tried again later, and I had a panic attack coming on and had to get off the very next exit. It's hard on dh when we are traveling, but I can drive on other roads. With Daddy having Parkinson's, we don't know how long he'll be able to live alone and volunteer. Thankful for now, though!
