I don't hate on you for the early rising.

The 63 SHE cards completed, on the other hand......

I just learned...
A Palindrome Day happens when the day's date can be read the same way backwards and forwards.


Wow

(Sorry, I couldn't resist. I shall disappear now and attempt to do one SHE card. Poof!)

And now the completed SHE card count is at 71.

Homeschool is almost done. DS10 is finishing up English assignments. We aren't doing as well timewise as had hoped. Our goal is to finish by noon. But the History lesson today includes cooking Armenia dishes Gata and Fassoulia which took more time than a normal history lesson.

I am going to have 2 hours alone this evening. I am trying to decide how to spend it.
1. Know what you want.
2. Go after it relentlessly.

Colored my hair, which was an accomplishment b/c it is overdue!
Called one of dmom's doctors for a refill on rx...
Called dmom's dentist to change appt -- I am NOT an early riser, and did NOT want to get up in time to get her to a dentist appt at 7:00 a.m. ON MY BIRTHDAY... switched it to the following day at 11:40. Much more to my liking.
Picked up dgs at school.

Waving to all!
Tomorrow is another day.

So good to see you, Helia. Know I've been MIA for at least a couple of days -haven't even tried to cuop. Been running dh to appointments. Yesterday's was at 8am, meaning had to leave by 7 and up by 5:30 in order to fit my meds in. Consequently I barely slept Monday night. Made up for it last night/this morning. Did stumble out of bed just long enough to take my thyroid med and collapse in the recliner (mainly so dh could have use of the bed for part of his exercises. -he would do it on the floor but I just can't see him getting up from there.) Speaking of whom, here he comes after he got his hair cut.


Well, this has set here for only about 6 hours. I've been to A ldi's to get a couple of thermal can holders. DS-R & ddil swear by them. So, we'll see. Then I went to cardiac rehab for a little over an hour. Now it's time to get dinner going. What am I having? No idea! Reminds me of the time I told DD & DDIL I knew what to have for dinner and then almost instantly told them, "I have no idea". Obviously if I'd thought of something it went right out of my head. :roll:
Begun is half done -SO! JUST BEGIN!!

I am hoping I just found a contributing factor for the inventory fluctuations that have been plaguing our project these past few months. I have emailed the appropriate person, who is gone for the day. It would be really nice to get that DEALT WITH, and, more importantly, would cement my reputation as a top notch data person. Of course, it could have also been investigated already and determined not a factor. What it boils down to is a time delay in creating an order in the database and adjusting the inventory based on the order. We are talking a time difference of 100 to 200 ms. However, with enough users, it could happen that while user A is creating an order, user B is doing the same during that time delay. The numbers in the fluctuations and the infrequent nature of the problem are consistent with the idea.

I need a glasses adjustment. I was thinking I needed new glasses altogether, but when I put them on the counter this morning, they were obviously out of whack. Unlikely I can get them fixed until Saturday.

helia: DD16 does indeed have celiac, confirmed by intestinal biopsy, so there is no doubt. Right now, her doctor is concerned she is losing weight. This could be the adjustment to the new diet, the insane amount of walking we did on our vacation, or her thyroid is becoming overactive. She is on meds to try and prevent the latter and preserve thyroid function, but it may not have worked.

Congratulations, Ramblin'!

Sewing - I have no advice on classes. Wanted to get dd into some classes and couldn't find the right thing back then.

hi, Norma.

I've been rushing so much lately and just not getting to computer. Several trips needed as dd gets ready for the school year. Also a dr's appt for her as she had a sore ear. Turned out to be nothing but it's good to have a dr's eye's on it.

Finally got all the secretarial/treasurer calling/emailing/paying done and have a report on all that to take tonight. I've tried to simplify, simplify. I'll take two copies - don't know how many to hand out sometimes because we don't have clear channels or chain right now. In theory, I could make a case for taking 5 copies, but I'm avoiding that.

Also will remember the sign-up sheet and pencil holder. So I need to be early to do that.

Maybe a quick bite to eat. I've been loving my smoothies lately, but I hate to have one when I'll feel rushed because they are a pleasant relaxing time. So I'll wait.

The children come tomorrow. I'm slightly prepared for a craft for us. I just hate to miss craft time with them because I think it's more memorable than other things we do.

Got in the shower. I can tell the overlap areas on the steps us giving good coverage so I am hopeful that the next coat will have it looking great! A two day time frame before it is done. But at least we can use them this evening bc of the early start I got yea for success. H is home now.

I made some progress in my art planner.

Elizabeth, losing weight for unknown reasons sounds scary. The thyroid possibility is plausible. Dd22 has Hashimoto's disease, an auto-immune disease involving her thyroid. Her pedi discovered it when she was 12 years old and her celiac was diagnosed when she was 21 years old. I believe she's done some reading on this and it's not uncommon for thyroid problems to accompany celiac disease. Yes, her diagnosis involved a biopsy as well. The Doc who did the endoscopy said that he could see that her intestines were in really bad shape even before the biopsy results came back. Funny b/c she wasn't having a lot of symptoms.

Nice to see you Kathryn! I've been MIA for a year or maybe almost 2 -- I can't remember. My life has gotten busier.
Hi Dee and blessed and Harriet and nancy and lucylee and everyone else!
Very cool about the date palindrome, LadyM.

Dh has been feted. The kitchen is clean. The C family has gone home. I'm extremely tired. I'm going to bed. I'll have plenty more to do tomorrow.
