Motivational Monday

[Harmony]

So I have a small stash of pennies that I try to reduce when I have them on hand. Does anyone think I should hang on to them? I don't get the throwing them away mentality. They may not be much, but they are money, after all. Of course, USA is just discussing the possibility, it's not a done deal yet.

(Twins) Do you have your teeth guard yet and does it help?

So today wasn't the best of days, but I guess it wasn't the worst. I didn't go backwards in the house unless you count the lol that isn't folded yet. The kitchen is cleaned and wiped again. Tomorrow I will try to catch up on the desk chores. Maybe it will be a better day.

I had dry towels in the dryer for 2 days/nights. I put them on my side of the MADE bed. So I could do 1 load of laundry. Then I put the dry towels over on DH's side of the bed, napped on my side, and got up and put ONLY 1 towel away. Then, after the socks didn't dry well, I turned them right-side out (the instructions are for me to wash them wrong side out) they're damp, laying across the back of our sectional sofa.

Now I need to go fold those tells so DH has a place to sleep!

And THEN I'm writing that P & P OMM (on my mind) list! I got out a yellow legal pad and pretty colored pens, so it'll be some fun!

Harmony, I have a night mouth guard to prevent me from chipping my teeth when I grind at night. It works well for me.

Twins, Do you have one now, too?

I'm off to do the towels and OMM list! Have a GR8 night, Everyone! Waving to you All!

Lesson plans done, submitted to school website.
Worksheet (essay instructions) for tomorrow done. E-mailed to self @ school.
Talked to ddad.
Maybe I should s/s the kitchen & go to bed?

Very interested in Richard III story. Why was his skeleton not buried where they thought it was? Or had the abbey just fallen into such disrepair that its location was lost and has just been re-discovered? I just saw a bit of the headlines scrolling across Fox News. I feel very ignorant.

(((Twins))) You have just got so much to deal with right now. (((BIG HUGS)))

So good to hear of happy confidence-building time w/LO, OKay!

Ivy, I am so impressed w/your writing!

Must go -- dh wants computer!

Good exercise with LO OKay. Children of divorce/separation often need reassurance that they won't be "left" too - wondering if that is a part of LO's thinking.

Ivy - interesting to read of your story writing job. The how tos are good.

Reading done today.
Mended - hem on slacks and a blouse sleeve. Getting real - mend it or let it go - Mend it when? Now - there was time before I had to leave.
I've been out this morning. Talked to a few, had a pot of lemon grass and ginger tea.
Home for lunch.

good night all - sleep tight.

Hello again everyone! I met the nicest man at the grocery store, really cheered me up. No, I am not in the dating market! We didn't even exchange first names. Then, I got home and ate and cleared out the sewing room closet so the insurance person can look at the damage tomorrow. I hope it is covered, but there is no gurantee. I've done cat care and swept the sewing room and closet, had my shower, ordered meds, and set the phone to charging. Now, I suppose it is time for videos and crochet, but if I have any sense, I will not stay up too much later.

DFosterCat13* is incredibly unhappy with me for the meds. Today, I found her hiding in one of the other cat's bed! She has also been sitting forlornly in the dark guest bathroom. I think she is depressed because her human is suddenly turned mean. But she has to have meds. If this one doesn't work, she will need different ones, maybe even for the rest of her life. She does usually sit with me while I crochet, so maybe that will help. She also sleeps on my bed at night, but she does not always want to do that now. I miss my Cleo Marvellous!

*DFosterCat13 means age 13, not that I have 13 or more foster cats! All cats in my household seem to acquire the last name of Marvellous.
