SHEs Organized

The grief is likely to come in waves, helia, and you did well to let yourself process it. What show did you watch?

I'm getting kinda sick of all those apples! And even literally, as I keep munching on little cuttings and it's driving my blood sugar all over the place (lots of fiber and no long sugars or proteins and somehow my sugar is dropping really bad). We didn't have any real lunch, but I gotta do better about dinner! And it's family movie night and I'd like us to do two episodes of Chernobyl and since we've been up early, we need to go to bed early too.

Hi, Gma.

Thanks for starting us off, trissie. I see that all of your dkids have an enjoyable outing lined up today. Yikes about the blood sugar. Is there something that you can eat to counteract the apples?

I'm glad that the concert went well, Kittykatt.

Have fun at sports, FrenchFly's dsons. Crossing my fingers for your job applications and your DH's.--oh, I see that they are back and learning to navigate conflict.

(((helia))) You have so many sad duties to work on. No wonder you feel sad and not motivated. Taking some time out to relax with DH was no doubt the best strategy.

Hi, Peaches.

I was lazy yesterday, so today's goal is to get laundry done before the rush starts, and to get the cottage roll into the slow cooker early enough to monitor it.

Of course I know NCIS, helia! I agree it's one that's easy to binge watch But I stopped watching it after beginning of season 10, because some cast member changes meant that I was missing the spark that was no longer there (I really don't wanna do any spoilers, if you're past season 10 you of course know what I am referring to! I think NCIS is still airing, season 23 or something, and there's a major spin off that just started this fall. I would absolutely love to see that one, but it's not available on any streaming services currently operating in Czech Republic

And yes, Chernobyl is the HBO dramatic documentary. It's very good, rather very accurate - me and DH have already seen it - and I consider it a good educational source on chemistry, physics, biology and history for middle schoolers. I think the part that my kids were most shocked about was the sweep-it-under-the-rug attitude combined with complete disregard for human safety and human lives. Sweet summer children they are!
