More math

Good afternoon. Hope it’s going well so far. I caught up on Brenda Gantt videos and cooked breakfast. Now I’m catching up here.

Thanks for getting us going, kittykatt. Sorry I can’t get the thread started sometimes, although I guess I could, I’m up, but it’s still yesterday where I am when you’re rising. Big thanks to you, trissie, French, and everyone that keeps us going.

French, mustard greens are a little strong for my taste, dh’s mom cooked them a lot so I incorporated them in our meals, but I mix them with the others to make them a little milder. I believe hearing the others’ experiences with school will help prepare him when the time comes, that’s much better than going in not knowing what to expect.

Trissie, wish I was prepping now for future meals but that ain’t happening. Shredded apple for streudel sounds delicious. Do you add any sweetener or just what’s in the apple? I saw a “trending” idea yesterday, shred a fruit (apple, peach, etc) and freeze, then eat, or drizzle honey before eating.

Helia, that’s how my mom wanted it, just let her go when it’s time, don’t fight it. She mentioned it enough that nobody questioned what to do when the time came. Hospice kept her comfortable and she went to sleep one night. I hope I have her calm and strength when the time comes.

Helia, what kind of things do you mention in your speeches? We just sing, open gifts, and eat a meal with cake served afterwards.

Hi LAnn. Sorry you couldn’t get your walk in first thing.

Hi peaches.

Dh keeps going in and out so I guess that’s my cue to get moving. Baby steps today.

Load and run dw
Vacuum
Mop if dh will cooperate and stay in one place while the floor dries

I remember slide rule. We learned how to use them in 11th grade advanced math class, I think it was called trigonometry at the time, but I'm sure it was way basic compared to today. Our teacher was lazy - he handed out books that went through problems step by step and had us work in those workbooks, while he sat and watched us. If it was today, he probably woudl be playing on his phone. He was older and I think tired of teaching. But he did raise brilliant kids - one of them was a student of my father's who went on to win a Pulitzer prize. I don't remember any of the concepts that we learned back then, and i sure wouldn't have any idea what to do with one fo those basic slide rules! Thanks for the walk down memory lane!

church, good fellowship afterwards
breakfast
back yard mowed
5 glasses of liquid so far today

next up, change out of my mowing clothes and back to nice outfit
go visit mother, take my computer so we can watch church together
(pay attention to how my foot feels after mowing. It feels ok right now, but it woke me up during the night. Maybe it needs more activity, not lwss)

Yesterday was so cold, cloudy, rainy, I had to turn on my furnace, and I heard it kick on a fwe tiems during the night.
Today the sun is shining, it's about 8 degrees warmer, but with the sun, it feels about 15 warmer! Mother might want to go outside and get some sunshine. I know she misses working in her yard. First thing she does when we get to her house is ask for a clipper to deadhead the flowers. Or sshe might just want to go for a ride in the car.

Bama, that's great about your mom. Hospice is supposed to be making Mom comfortable, but I'm not sure they were around this weekend? I'm praying she goes peacefully and easily in her sleep.
A Pulitzer Prize - that's amazing, Gma!
Glad you could get in a walk, L Ann. Yum - brownies!
No rain here, Gma and L Ann, though it was overcast all day yesterday.
Bama, Speeches and dessert are the last event in a birthday celebration; this is a tradition from dh's family. We go from youngest to oldest, and you just tell the person how you've appreciated them the past year, ways you've seen them grow, maybe remember momentous milestones they've passed. They're very affirming. After all the speeches, the birthday person makes a short reply to each speech giver. Speeches easily can take an hour when there are 8 of us unless we consciously try to keep them shorter. . . M and the Cs are part of the party.

BTW, dd27's birthday is in May. It takes us forever to find dates for these celebrations that work for everyone. Dd27 is our designated birthday coordinator. LOL!

CG2 is not happening today and L and B's cat needs to go to vet urgent care for an issue with his eye and A is out of town. This makes my day much more low key! I might stop by and see my mom.

Next:

- print out the etsy order that hasn't arrived yet

Later:
- make the bed
- maybe jog?
- write dd27's BD speech
- wrap dd27's gift + print out pic of the Etsy gift that hasn't arrived yet
