[Skippy]

I’m continuing to have a difficult time…crazy doesn’t even cover it. Prayers are welcome…as is more sleep.

Praying for you and yours as you adjust to your new normal.

@Angela273 Will keep you in prayers/sleep boosting this week. May there be students who recognize your efforts in making classes interesting. You should not have to be a miracle worker nor risk your health by not having some free time each workday. If the school board was not upfront on the level of work your job requires, time to dial down some expectations.

(*tossing pillows on sofa so if you see them, you head in their direction after supper if necessary*). Hope you at least can get a walk in during lunch breaks for some fresh air/to see the sky in daylight?

DS's bed is all made with fresh bedding. He is out cutting the grass now.
It was really long but looks nice and green compared to my neighbours burnt grass. Glad we didn't cut ours last week.

Kitchen is clean. Dinner will be done on the BBQ so clean up will be easy. DS needs to pick out the steaks for dinner so I can wrap the rest for the freezer.
We will be eating later then usual since oldest is working till 7.

Have a great night

@cath007 Sorry to read that you felt unwell recently-that impacts learning and overall day. Are you permitted to bring a personal fan to hot classroom at the college?

Is there a tea you can sip on to help settle the nausea?

My front lawn hasnt been cut in a few months ,but hubby cut the back today .I am not wasting water which we pay for to have a green front lawn ,i do water my plants .lol

First xmas gift bought today dissect a phiranha a stem toy 16.97 at walmart -great price as mastermind was 24.95 even on seniors day i would have paid 19.95 so saved 3.00.

Then looked at the toy clearance at walmart and got 2 polly pocket figures (bigger ones not the teeny tiny ones the girls lose all over the house)with a small table and chairs and bbq 9.98 reg 19.99 for cara for her birthday -yes this makes my day getting s start on the grandkids .

I also went to the bank and cashed $96 in checkout51,go coupon,raketan ,microsoft class action lawsuit ,so that was really good .Free money as i call it ,mind you had to work a bit for some of it.

Thanks! He was able to come earlier then expected. I had everything ready for dinner so we all sat outside and bbq'd. I roasted the cauliflower on the bbq (in a a aluminum foil tray) and it was really good! Oldest liked it. Youngest I told him to try it and he did but didn't like it. Oh well he is a healthy eater can't expect him to like everything. At least he tried. Was a nice visit and now he is off with his band for a little tour.
Kitchen is clean. (dishes washed and drying on counter- will put away in the morning when making coffee)
Tomorrow we will load the dishwasher as we use dishes.

Dinner tomorrow night will be fried rice with veggies and shrimp (I didn't end up making it last night) I can make it during the day while working and then it can just be ready in the fridge when hungry. And the kitchen will be clean

Off to put a load of laundry on.

We don't water our grass either.....one neighbour has automatic sprinklers... Sometimes I see them on when it's raining.

Good Morning Everyone,
Was out of town working yesterday, I forget the joys of spending 3 hours in a car (one-way). When I got there I was feeling it and still had to drive back at the end of the day since it was a one-day trip.

I had thought about stopping on the way back, if I go the back way there is a Costco I can go to but I left late and just wanted to get home.

Last night we needed a quick dinner, did not get home until 6:30. I had bought some premade chicken fingers for Mom incase she needed them as a quick dinner well I was away, we normally make our own but if she had a day she could not stand to cook, this would still get her dinner. She did not eat them so I turned some of them into Chicken Parm last night topping them with Pasta Sauce, Mozzarella and Parm. On the side I reheated the rest of the sauce and added some leftover pasta from the fridge. I should have added some veg but I was too tired. It was good but homemade is better.

Well I ate dinner, I looked at the flyers and there are some deals to be had this week, especially in the produce department so I need to figure out when I can shop this week. I am going to have to head out of town as there is a deal at RCSS I want to grab so I might as go to Costco as well, we do not need a lot but a few things we only buy at Costco.

Happy Thursday

Good Morning! Nice sunny day!

First thing I did was get the coffee going. Then realized I used the last of the cream yesterday. Popped out quick to redeem my FPC for cream Didn't want to ruin my coffee at home streak Will make eggs and toast soon for breakfast.
