TGIF--Kids did not nice job with the pond water lab today. Saw lots of microscopic critters in the water. Who knew so much diversity is in the ponds and lakes around here--including microscopic worms--ugh!
No papers to grade today. Came home and did some cooking and went grocery shopping.
Am vegging out tonight.

Sounds like great fun!! I love looking in microscopes.
We never had days of no grading in elementary school. That would have been heaven to me! However, we often saw movies on Fridays and that would give me a bit of time to get lesson plans done or a few papers graded.

OK Took Rosie out in the dark to do her business. Need to go back and pick up poop at some point this am.
Took tarps out and tried to shake some of the forest off of them. They also are still wet.
Hung them over the 4 ft fence that is around the air/heating units under my window.
Started to take one tarp to the launry room but got as far as the hallway door.
Took 2 excedrin. Now, hoping to be able to do a few things this am, resting in between.
Cat is really annoying this am so health must not be doing as well as i think it is. Just got up to let her back in the apartment. She is in and out in the am.
Little to no patience this am. No patience this am. Warm and humid but able to have windows open.
Sound of neighbors air conditioning unit is too much this am.
pressure in brain too. Did not have that while camping...but also did not sleep thru the night while camping so thinking it might have something to do with sleep stuff.

I knew i was able to do something else this am but just know remembered....finally able to get the 3 small trash cans back into the front room, bathroom and bedroom.
They have been under the kitchen sink for about a couple of weeks now.
caregiver just ignores them for some reason even though i have them on the list to empty and put back.

started cleaning house for people to come next weekend for son's 16th burthday.
it will mostly be putting stuff away and sorting paper mountain in kitchen.
pulling some weeds this morning too.
I think the job might be a bust. I forgot that my hands are not good for repeated action very long. hm. if they call then I give it a shot. i'd love to just sit and create art all day, but you gotta pay for supplies!

Tarps are now hanging over 4 ft fence around air conditioning units under my window
Got the dry goods basket out...but had to take several other things out in order to get to it first.
Dumped those things on the floor in the front room...not much floor space here so need to get them up when possible so i can use power chair to go in and out.
Brain is flaring up...sound of air conditioning unit running while I was trying to do this was too much and I didn't hink about putting ear protection muffs on until i laid back down
body in a lot of pain..got to the point i can't think but that is normal
cat wants back in now..she went out when i went out to the car so need to get back up and let her in...then i'll rest.

trying to go thru and catch up on the posts I missed.
Can't recall who posted it but my MIL made fried green tomatoes from her garden. I tried making them a few times and it just wasn't the same.
Not sure how to do it either.

Kam. I give you a lot of credit. Everything is so hard but you just keep on keepin on. It was me that wanted the fried green tomato recipe. I'll google it if i get desperate. My maters are still ok-i covered them that bad night and no more scheduled for awhile
My zinnias bit the dust tho...they were beautiful
Oh and i have to give you guys a laugh if you can picture this. The woodchuck i am having trouble with is very persistant. After he ate my brussel sprouts i put a long skinny rag soaked in ammonia around the plant on the ground...the first night he stayed away...the second night he moved the rag awa!
Then last night at dusk i was washing dishes and looking at my brocolis and two califlowers that are left and i saw a strange showdow in one of the califlowers and it was him...not next to it...in it...he was up in the leaves eating my beautiful head of califlower!
I tried to take a pic but he heard me scream and ran away
so after cleaning most of the day and while i was trying to settle down to sleep the new groin/hip nerve pain started real bad
I had to take extra neurontin...the highestdose i am allowed and it worked...i slept over 12 hrs but even after eating and taking morning meds i am slow and dizzy...thats wht neurontin does to me. I wont drive til after supper to do a few errands
I know it is dust from.construction that is mking me really sick with allergies so i am prioritizing cleaning whole house and sealing the sub floor. I vacumed as much as i could without moving furniture, have laundry going, did dishes, gave etta a bath and started collecting papers that are everywhere. I didnt know they sent the water bill now they are turning it off. I also didnt know how much i owe pharmacy so they stopped sending my regulr meds as nd two of them i really need
So as soon as the dust is controlled as much as it can be i really have to fund and pay bills
I have about half hour of painting and first coat will be on subfloor...im going to roll second coat. After Using the brush i have to wrap my wrists in ice for hours
The babies bday is two weeks from.today...im anxious about going and anxious about my son yelling at me if i dont go
With all this money stuff imnot sure i can afford it. Ettas board, rental car, two nites motel, etc...
Im so sick and tired right now imjust thinking if i cant i cant-thats it and he wull have to deal with it.
I didnt walk yesterday so i am supposed to today. I think i'll wait til later. Im in painting clothes now...later when i can druve i will walk and go get one more gallon paint

Drove an hour to see my friend's daughter play in a volleyball tournament. Inbetween matches they blast the music in the gym and I had to leave.
Ate lunch on my friend's patio and had a nice chat. Drove the hour home and just made it before the wicked thunderstorm hit.
I will not be walking today. Off to church tonight.

If you need any patio chairs, Target has some on sale. Got 'em half price.

Able to drive Rosie out to the undeveloped housing track in the forest....she had a good run while I drove.
we saw a turkey on the way back. That was a first for that neck of the woods...
I was able to sweep the forest dirt from the bathroom floor and from the patio and handicap ramp this am...not able to pick it up...just swepted it into a corner kind of thing to get it out of the way.
WAshed a few dishes.

Caregiver showed up. I forgot she rescheduled for today. I got a couple of things for the washer together for her to take down the hall.
I am having her do things I would do if able this am as I haven't been able to do to the grocery store yet for her to fix some food for me.
Moved the stuff off of the bathroom floor for her to clean that.....caregivers just kind of wash around things and don't move things.
I am hurting too much to do much more so down for the count.
Able to get water in my kleen kanteen that I have in my power chair basket.
I know I was on my feet for a few other things but can't recall what they were right now.
She is folding the linens from a week or so ago. I still haven linens in the recliner that need to be put away but need to find a place for them.
The caregiver is going to be gone for a couple of weeks so she is putting in her time now and then when she comes back.
It is going to be a rough couple of weeks. The hour twice a week makes a big difference.

Kam--is your caregiver sent by a company? If so, can they send a substitute for the next 2 weeks?
So far am having an uneventful day. Went to church last night, so am doing laundry and small chores today.

Able to pick up a little bit more around the apartment.
Folded the tarp, hung some coats up.
Heading out now via the power chair to give Rosie a chance to toilet and me a break from being in the apartment...the pressure in the brain is getting to me...hoping being out will help..but need to wet down my cooling towels as it is hot out.
Which means I need to get them from the car....I think they are still in the car from camping.
