Good morning Kittykatt! Thanks for the start - Love the quote - don't know the tea:)
(Finger is better than yesterday, rather swollen and bruised but less pain - thank you.)
Is the bite all healed?
I'm just as curious as trissie about FFly's job...
trissie glad you are taking advantage of the patio.

Going to take pup for quick walk
bake the bread
go to gym
then take it from there:)

oh, my, kitkat, DDoggie really did a number on your finger! Glad it's getting better, though.

kittykatt we have rain too. I see what you mean about forget-me-nots, I'm relieved to know you don't just want to get rid of them altogether, they are such a lovely, delicate flower.

trissie thanks for the movie recommendation, I will look it up.

kitkat that wound sounds like ti needs to be taken good care of. Pup walk, baking bread and gym, that's already a very full day to me.

helia I hope you enjoy the tea. Sorry for the very full Monday...

No news from the job opportunity. The lady on the phone explained she had taken notes and was transferring it to the recruiting team, and then, if they select me, I will be asked for an interview in person. Either they didn't select me, or they're taking a lot of time.
I just got back from the shopping trip and picking up the grocery order. It took an hour and a half, but it was supposed to be just a quick trip to the store and then we pick up the groceries and back home... I took some time deciding whihc hair dye color was the best... Another lady was taking her time too and she asked me if I could give her advice, I said regrettably no, I was new to the subject of hair dye, then she said "oh, yes, all right" or something, like she just realized I had lots of gray hair showing... My DSis Younger advised me to use the "mousse" (foam?) version instead of the usual dye, so I picked the brand she uses.
Not sure I will have time to dye my hair any time soon. I don't want to make a mess, and I wonder what it looks like afterwards...

Morning all! I have about an hour before I need to leave for Little Bit’s birthday party. Cooking went well, kittykatt, although Little Bit questioned calling it that since they didn’t actually cook! They were food explorers and decorated really cute explorer hats with fruit and veggie stickers. Then they had a passport and marked off the fruits and veggies they tried and examined by using their 5 senses. They practiced safe cutting too. She said her favorite thing was a coconut roll and she found an orange pepper she liked.

Morning all. Interesting teas this week. Never heard of some of them.

That is a good shem. I'll have to remember that.

Ohh gma what a lot of care you are providing for your df.

Forget me nots.. I might have to get some seeds. The other one that's gonna come up and figure how to move is the malva. They act like a weed in my garden bed cause I let them reseed. Now I gotta convince them to take where I want them.

And what we do for our pets kitkat. Yikes on your hand. I haven't done that one yet but so close. Squirrel... crazy dog. Or cat or bear or.. something else that makes them go off. Last night it was my neighbors outside later than usual. Casper is getting back that pleading eye look of come on mom let's go . He talks with his eyes saying walk. I've kinda enjoyed the 8 pm walk except it's dragging me out after a busy work day. The neighbors were working on a project.. the ones that walk by and talk to him outside. His friends . He bolted on his rope and took off to say hello . They don't mind but that's how I get hurt...

Anyway.. Saturday. What to do with my day off. Let's see. I have music prep which is just practice the songs. Make a potato salad for lunch at church tomorrow. Some cleaning. Outside stuff. And then figure out supper around my sister's game. A newish game she plays. Roller derby. It's impossible to describe. Kinda rugby like in tackle to get through and then run laps ... on Roller blades. She has a game here. At 530... so I need supper quick after or in the instant pot and done..

Ds.. how to.... I need to see if I can get him talking today. One big step is his learners drivers he accomplished this week. Now he can learn to drive. Next step. Figure out school. I am so done with this high school and so is he. He has this week of school. Grad is next weekend. Then exams pretty much. Something is up with his science class. He usually says if he would be fully trying he could get . Well yesterday he said he was 80. And they're not even gonna get through all the material. Almost made it to school and then he got visibly upset so I took him home again. He's really frustrated. Missed at least a day a week. this week 2 days just cause he is tired and frustrated and doesn't have much to catch up.. So almost there.

What do I do? I could just switch him fully to online. He has new friends he wants to keep connecting with. Some of his individual sports he could still participate in. I think he will succeed with the learning style without the classroom distractions. Just not sure if he can do it while I still work 4 days a week. And actually be diligent enough. A better education but minimal social and he would be even more stuck in the house. Gotta find a good fit for work. Keep the sports connection. And friends. He is so high functioning but so hard.

Today's job is figure out how to get words out of him. Without completely shut down. High functioning autism is hard.

Well I guess I start with go uncover my plants and water. I don't think it froze but too close again.

Finish qt.
General straighten.

Wow sorry. You guys are like my get my thoughts out. To me writing that out I have my answer except the social bit that is the biggest part. Meaning communication.. and effort.. and connections.

lauralind, those are some tough decisions... but I think learning to do social interactions is more important at this age than actual academic knowledge. but that's just me...
L.Ann, Lil Bit gets to do all sorts of fun things!
Frenchie, don't know about France, but the HR people here have very bad reputation for never getting back to you... a friend of mine had a headhunter call to him a year later!
helia, men have really strange ideas sometimes! just this week, my own (male) therapist was like "so why are you upset that you are basically a single mother of four? I mean, your kids are grown, and your husband does not ask you to take care of his mother, so really, what is your problem?" - and DS15's (female) therapits when I told her about the situation was like "oh dear, you could really use a spa retreat right now to destress, right?" Men just sometimes don't get it!

I agree trissie. But when he is losing his motivation over bad teacher and low standards and such I don't know what to think.

Oh boy yes men just don't get it. You've got your hands full with more than 1 kid like mine.. and the parent struggles... yup I get it.

Well my watering system is on. Bedding in the wash. I stuck a few cucumber seeds in the planter cause they disliked the transplant I think.

Next

Get dressed properly apparently skip shower
S& s both baths
Tidy laundry room some
Empty and reload dw
Finish tidying kitchen all the way

I truly should have "parked" the starter in the fridge knowing my schedule this week... but, it was too goodlooking
It's doing its job - dough looks really good.

Back from gym - will CUOP in a while - I have DKids coming and must keep an eye on the dough - and the laundry.
