I start out the day tired, but at least the work is progressing pretty fast. Yesterday and Wed, he did the ceilings in the kitchen and B.'s bathroom and painted over the old kitchen wallpaper which was only dirty, not peeling or anything.He wanted to remove it and staryt fresh, but \I felt that would take longer, be more messy and cost more
2:21 am
grannyrose

i keep meaning to ask you if the chain on the pendant is long enough.
2:22 am
rubyfoo

It is awful having somebody working in the house all day and between the painter and my clingy husband, I have no privacy at all.
2:22 am
grannyrose

wow, ruby. you won't know your home.
2:22 am
rubyfoo

Yes, I love my lizard!!!! It fits and I am a bad friend fr not having written to you at length.
2:23 am
grannyrose

never a bad friend, ruby. and that's okay. with all that is going on, i am surprised you have time to breathe.

The good news is that the house should be lovely again by the time you and Don arrive in the Spring/early summer
2:25 am
grannyrose

2:26 am
Lizlin

How was your evening last night, Rose?
2:26 am

2:26 am
rubyfoo

Today we have to shlep the kitchen drapes to the dry cleaner but, although they are cotton, I don'tthink my little washer could handle the load and I'm afraid they'd shrink
2:26 am
grannyrose

liz we have had a lovely cool change. it was still 26C at midnight.
2:27 am
grannyrose

oh, liz, to die for. the food was glorious.

Lucky you Rose - temps of 40 C predicted for the weekend.

2:28 am
grannyrose

we didn't wait much more than 5 minutes for our first 3 courses. and the flow was kept up. the waiter was incredible. the restaurant was nearly 3/4 full, and he was on his own.
2:28 am
Lizlin

It sounds as tho your renos are making really good progress ruby
2:29 am
Lizlin

Sounds wonderful :)
2:30 am
grannyrose

2:30 am
grannyrose

do you want to share about the email here?
2:31 am
Lizlin

No! Thanks for asking. Nothing serious, just frustrating. Business stuff from the UK.
2:33 am

np's, liz. {{hugs}} for you in your frustration

2:39 am

3:26 am

i wonder how our pugs and her sister are doing? another 36 hours at least until we may hear. how dare she sleep and leave us in suspenders like this?
3:28 am
sprite

sister was doing better, bs leveled again. Seems to be related to food intake.
pugs was frustrated. Doctor said he needs an ultrasound first, with the insurance must ok. So no news there.
3:28 am
sprite

which* not with, sigh
3:29 am
grannyrose

yeah i heard the same. i am wondering if sister is helping herself to foods which she isn't allowed to have. in the hospital there would be no access to extra food.
3:30 am
sprite

that is the idea now. Sounds like she needs constant care, more than pug can possible give her.
3:31 am
grannyrose

i hear don home with dinner. sprite, love, will be back as soon as i inhale it.

Hi everybody. :-). I'm just home after visiting my Dad in the nursing home. I laughed all the way home. He told me that his memory was getting quite bad. He looked me directly in the eye & asked me if I thought he could be getting 'early-onset Alzheimers'. Early onset??? He will be 87 in January!!

exciting news in our household -- have booked our next trip to Europe for the fall (both knees should be good as new by then). We'll begin with 4 days on the Amalfi coast to get acclimatized then join our land/cruise tour from Rome (3days) to Venice for 3 days (via Asissi and Florence) then on board ship for 8 days cruising the Aegean. :-)

my tutees are going to get their first report cards soon so they are not stalling nearly so much. One of them is still in trouble tho

my house renos are coming along slowly. I am repaiintiing and reorganizing the
9:55 pm
stidmama

I have alerted my kiddos that something that was optional for this past report card is now a requirement and that I will expect them to take (and pass at or above a certain percentage) some online reading assessments... some of them were looking really worried.
9:55 pm
Bugsaw

the office I mean
9:56 pm
stidmama

Oh, I am glad the work is coming along... I am looking around the house now that I have school more in hand and thinking of all the things I want to amend next summer.

9:57 pm
Bugsaw

I am putting shelves up in the closet this weekend. No room for clothes but lots of shelves for storage. It will really help
9:58 pm
stidmama

:-) I am SO glad I put in shelves in our closet spaces! Hanging in a couple spots, but mostly shelves...
10:01 pm
Bugsaw

We do not live for the latest fashions as you know but we do have hoarding tendencies. I think a compromise would be a limited amount of space for hoarding. When it is full, do something!
10:02 pm
stidmama

I am very unhappy -- a catalog came in the mail with a "scented page" that I didn't know about. So I was paging through and now I am miserable and starting to itch. DUMB STUPID DUM-BASS marketers!!!!! *very allergic mama look at catalog*
10:03 pm

Oh I am sorry. I don't think they do that here or else I don't get many magazine.

Hugs to granny. I do hope you are well again today
10:06 pm
grannyrose

yes thanx, bugs. and you?
10:07 pm
Bugsaw

I am well. It was very cold today so I was glad to be inside most of the day, tutoring and preparing for shelves in the closet
10:07 pm
stidmama

yes, GR (was off taking antihistamine) but more likely to need the inhaler than the epipen for this.
10:07 pm
stidmama

Go bugs go!
10:08 pm
grannyrose

never can be too prepared, stidmama.
10:08 pm
stidmama

did you have hydrotherapy today, GR? I always picture you in a swimsuit with a skirt feature and one of those silly little swim caps from 50 years ago -- you know, the ones with the fake rubber flowers all over them! LOL
10:09 pm
Bugsaw

poor granny! what a vision!
10:09 pm
stidmama

oh, and a fancy cocktail of some sort being handed to you by the exceedingly handsome cabana boy ....
10:10 pm
grannyrose

our stupid computer has been down-loading stuff we didn't know about, and pushed us over our down-load limit and it's only halfway through the month. *glares daggers at himself* DH decided to try a new windows app, and this is the result. grrrr
10:10 pm
stidmama

;-) Probably better for him to hand you cocktails than trim trees, eh?
10:10 pm
Bugsaw

I will keep the cabana boy in my vision.
10:10 pm
grannyrose

roflol, close stid. not the hat, but if i had one.....
10:10 pm

oh oh, that's too bad, GR
10:11 pm
Bugsaw

I would hate a computer that downloads all by itself. Smacks of ghosties and ghoulies
10:12 pm
grannyrose

btw, i am exceedingly proud of my 'granny' swimsuit, skirt and all. no more bikini line waxing for me....or is that too much information?
10:12 pm
stidmama

I am glad you could be inside today bugs -- it has been bitter cold in the town I teach in, I am letting the kids into my classroom as soon as they start arriving instead of making them wait until 8:15 (their official arrival time).
10:13 pm
Bugsaw

I have been to those classes and all the ladies are very kind about looking into each others' eyes only.
10:13 pm
grannyrose

*giggling * bugs....and in the showers later ???
10:13 pm
Bugsaw

8:15 seems early. Is that for a 9:00 beginning?
10:13 pm
stidmama

I think that we get too hung up on our body shape and stretchmarks and are too little concerned with the love that our bodies hold.
10:14 pm
stidmama

It's for 8:30 start time.
10:14 pm
stidmama

Many kids arrive at 8, but we feed them breakfast, so they start filtering out of the cafeteria around 8:10
10:15 pm
stidmama

oooh! I just got NBT! :-)
10:15 pm
stidmama

it's a tough grid today
10:16 pm
Bugsaw

It is a tough grid. I am tired of it so I went to Morewords to finish.
10:16 pm
stidmama

how about you, tor? did the cold air affect you in the sunny south at all? It actually SNOWED about 80 miles south of us today!
10:17 pm
Bugsaw

I am glad their is a meal program at your school. It always helps when they are not hungry and very few of them are willing to tell about it.
10:17 pm
stidmama

I haven't listed yet, not sure I am that interested in finishing. Was just glad to have some time to play tonight.
10:17 pm
torgone

It's seasonably cool here ..
10:18 pm
stidmama

Our school received a grant to feed ALL the students breakfast and lunch for free this year -- we have so many who need the help anyway that we qualified for a full-school program.
10:18 pm
Bugsaw

I was always proud of those who could admit that some food would definately help them feel better. I had a stash in my desk or locker.
10:18 pm
Bugsaw

It is below freezing here torgone and has been for days
10:19 pm
stidmama

I keep some snacks, but I cannot afford to feed 25 children once a day... not even with little snacks. So I dole them out sparingly.
10:20 pm
torgone

That's great about the school meals. Kids do so much better with adequate nourishment.
10:20 pm
stidmama

I agree, tor -- their growing minds and bodies cannot function when they are thinking about empty tummies.
10:21 pm
Bugsaw

not so much of a need if there is a food program. I worked in middle schools that had canteens where they could pay. If they couldn't pay, tough luck
10:22 pm
stidmama

we have that happen sometimes, too -- in the more affluent schools (like the one last year) some children were always "volunteering" at lunch in order to earn a meal.
10:22 pm
stidmama

I don't understand how we can live in a society that so little values our children.
10:25 pm
Bugsaw

I am glad they found a way to meet their needs while helping others. Smart kids
10:26 pm
stidmama

they were smart kids! :-) I just regret that they missed all the clubs that met at lunch. :-( Maybe someday...
10:32 pm

I must take my leave. I am too distracted by Doc Martin to care about this grid. Good night
