HomeAgain Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Good morning! I think I'm going to have plenty of quiet time. DS had a game yesterday morning where he played hard, then came home to shower and take off to the trampoline park. The party moved to a backyard trampoline for a few hours before ds finally texted to come home, looking like he had just ran a marathon. So, I don't expect to see him before 10am today. coffee and cake for breakfast violin mop the floors laundry work with ds after lunch dinner: I think pork chops say goodbye to oldest ds (and be glad I'm not taking him to the airport) 10,000 steps? We'll see. We're expecting rain again, I think. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnM Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Yesterday my goal was 30 boxes, I only got through about 15, but I really went through them and now have 4 large boxes to take to the goodwill and 4 large boxes to toss. Today, we will get our living room back in some semblance of order. The Christmas tree will go to the attic, the boxes put in there will be unpacked, things will be put where they need to go. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't wake them up yet because the low bounced back up. I posted a bit more on yesterday's daily post, but blood glucose is one thing they are investigating regarding their ongoing dizziness. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 DS was up, and pleasant, by 9 am. I am extremely surprised. I thought for sure it would be another hour. He did turn down an opportunity for volunteer work today, though. Violin...mostly done. I'm learning a new piece and may go back to it later. On my second cup of coffee and watching the Hunger Games. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyoffive Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) We just got power restored, thank goodness. The air temp is -8. Windchills colder than that. We have underground power lines and hardly ever lose power, but I guess the lines that supply our underground lines are above ground and a tree hit the line. Thanking all the power workers who were out in this and got our power restored in about 2 hours. Edited January 14 by mommyoffive 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I'm glad you checked in, @mommyoffive. That weather is brutal, especially with no power. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 DH just asked to go to Costco and lunch. So I may not get to everything I had hoped to get to, but that is ok. So far we have: unboxed 5 boxes and put things away rearranged some furniture in the living room so we can put the curio cabinet up vacuumed started laundry When we get back from Costco: unbox 5 more boxes wipe down countertops in kitchen put away clean dishes think about getting bins for our shelves and what I actually want 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I strongly encouraged ds24 to check in to his flight today. He's glad he did, because they moved him to Tuesday (which wouldn't work) at a wonky time. A few calls later and he's back on track again, just with more stops. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 I keep watching the weather forecasts for us and for the kids (dd lives in Chattanooga and ds is on campus at Lee, so both in southern TN). They both have predictions of 4 inches of snow tomorrow. They (nor me) are used to driving in weather like that. Dd doesn't work tomorrow, but she planned to be at her gf's house down this way. She does work on Tuesday. Sometimes I wish they were still small and under our roof. I love them being grown in many ways, but I'd be fine with us all under one roof or even a compound of houses together. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow, that is a ton of snow for a place and people that are not used to or have the trucks for it. Stay safe. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay safe. Dd will be the one out driving, and she has a small Nissan Kicks. She's a nurse, so her job doesn't get called off. At least ds will be on campus. He doesn't have classes for the holiday, and classes would probably be canceled for Tuesday if it stays around. The school has a lot of commuters. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Waiting for the snow in TN too…We just do not go anywhere when it snows. Period. We have plenty of food and basic emergency supplies. As long as the power is on, we’re fine. I’d love a couple slow days at home. Several hospitals here call staff in early and have makeshift dorms and living spaces for snow days, knowing that people will not be able to get to work safely. We’ve been to church and had lunch. I need to be back at church around 3:30 for prep for missions conference children’s ministry tonight. Take medicine Rest a bit Pack work things Dress warmly Church 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 Dh and I played Raiders of the North Sea, and he crushed me. Ds is over at dd's gf's house, and I'm going to meet him with some of that winter stuff he left here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 I met ds and gave him his stuff. He is rushing a fraternity this week and will have the induction weekend starting Thursday night. This is at a Christian college, so I know it won't be the same as a regular university. I'm most concerned about it being stuff outside because we are fairly sure he has Reynaud's. He told me he already talked to the guys about his problem, and they would make accommodations for him. I gave him a huge pack of hand warmers for Christmas, so surely he can use those. I got groceries on the way home. I just tried some goat cheese brie I was given for Christmas, and it was horrible. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 Dinner was grilled chicken from Costco and a salad kit. I ate a bit of chocolate for dessert. I did some $$ data entry. I'm ready for tomorrow. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Home from church. It is snowing and the roads were slick. My guys are across the street, watching football. I am going to watch the 2019 Downton Abbey movie. Looking forward to a day or hopefully two at home!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what I should do now. Oh no. I am sorry. I would probably do all the things to try and not spread it and if they are still negative this week take them? I don't know. I would probably start everyone on extra vitamins, nasal sprays, mouth rinse. Open windows if you can. Keep your dh isolated. Mask. Run air purifiers or the like in the house. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
