What's everybody doing today?

[Ekatarina]

Have you tried Melatonin? Thats what they gave me in the hospital to help me sleep.

No I usually sleep well ..except when one of my animals dont sleep
lately Ruben like to do noises ..that is why
Normally I sleep like a log...but one little tiny sound will make me up

I could be a good guardian LOLOLOL

Daughter came over after work on Saturday (night shift) in time to go to sunrise service with me for Easter. Later we had dinner with my mom and Brother. It was a good day.
Today we went to a place that had cleared out a fence line and left the tree trunks stacked up, we can take all that we can cut and haul for free. Filled my truck and trailer and my brother's truck. Managed to drop a pretty stout log on my foot, feels like it will be black and blue tomorrow. Brother spent some time teaching my Daughter how to use the chainsaw, which was pretty cool.
I live such a sedentary life now that today's work really wore me out. Collapsed in my chair, a nice fire going in the stove, and some This N That Garage on the youtube. I'm predicting an early bedtime!

Yesterday I was out for the count. Everyone in the household was feeling unwell. Brother had been throwing up. I started feeling cruddy Saturday night and slept all night and then most of the day Sunday. I needed that rest.

Today I put Mom's new dexcom sensor on. I was worried I'd mess it up, but I got it right and the new sensor is acclimating during the old sensor's grace period. Still waiting on the insulin pump but that is for the rant thread.

I got some new plastic cutters and used them on some used Bob Evans mashed potato containers. I'm going to try to us them for my custom lightsaber build. Cooked for Mom, went into town to get stew but they were out, put gas in the truck, & got some crackers that Mom requested. Put up a shelf in my bathroom above the tp holder so I have somewhere to put the wet wipes.

Chatted with my sister online a little. It's her 50th birthday so we'll be calling her later on.

You are not going to use that new splitter without changing the fittings, that I mentioned when you first posted it are you??

 

[Patchouli]

Uh oh, @Heartbroken Sorry about your foot.
Hope you feel better soon @zannej
I like it when y’all remind each other about stuff. The dog is reminding me to feed her, again.

Crazy day at work, going every which way all day long. Got off and went to get my tires rotated, found out front tires were worn badly. Less than a year old. They gave me 80% credit on them. Went with a different brand this time.
Gotta work late tomorrow night, and all weekend.

 

[backlash]

Animal care and cleaning , maybe the laundry I didn't get to yesterday

the goats are causing me stress by messing up the schedule , there is only about 6 weeks left before my trip and I am NOT looking forward to it...way to much stress, hope nothing goes wrong .

 

[dademoss]

Tuesday morning cat care, then home. A perfect day for sorting and packing

 

[Pearl]

Regular Tuesday job. Meeting Hubby in town so we can upgrade his phone. Then going to Walmart ! Cooler and windy today, only 60°!

 

[Amish Heart]

I've got a doc appt at noon, then filling a cart at Aldi while I'm near there. Little granddaughter has a field trip all day to the Cosmophere (a very cool place), then all the girls are having a sleep over at one of the girl's homes. So she will be a mess tomorrow in school, but she is very excited. Supposed to be a rainy day today.

 

[zannej]

Cats woke me up and I'm overheated. Had acid reflux and it came out my nose. Fed the kitties and then checked thermostat. It's 78°F inside. Fan was blowing but its not cooling. Turned it off and then told it to cool. Nothing. Turned the breakers off and then back on and waited a couple of minutes. Turned it to Automatic.Then to Cool. It's stuck on "waiting for equipment". I set it to off and am waiting to see if letting it sit a bit longer will work. If not, I may need to call the AC people again.

I was going to plant more flowers around the house today but it rained most of the night and I’m sure the ground is too wet. Today we have a meeting with a lawyer to start a trust for our kids.

 

[12icemaker]

Gonna be stormy here in a couple of hours rumbling now.

We have been going to get with a lawyer friend of mine to do our trust he has a big one of his own that owns a timber growing company, He and his brother probably own 15,000 acres or more of timber.

He was a DA, Prosecutor and is now in private practice.

His father was a real visionary and bought land from people who sold out and moved north to industrial states when the economy was really bad in the south and had a hardware lumber and general store, and gave credit or survival goods to most of the county. He bought half of my grandfathers section when grandfather went to work for TVA in Guild, TN

My uncle worked for my friends dad in the store, was the county agent, and ran a 1/4 section farm and dairy for many years.

 

[Mountain trapper]

Cleaning the chicken run again today, and helping with global warming.

[teeceetx]

Bathroom demo proceeds ... tearing down soffits, jackhammering floor tile ... and the plumber shows up in the middle of it all, to give us an estimate for their work ... $8k ... that's for moving tub drain, moving shower drain, moving shower controls, installing toilet, moving sink feeds and drain, replacing all sink and toilet shut off valves, installing free-standing tub fillers, etc. etc.

Monday, the Electrician comes with his bad news!

Maybe I should start a Go-Fund-Me account ... or better yet, a Go-Shoot-Me account!!!!!

Bought mama a new Sleep Number bed. It arrives in 15 days. Going to put our other new king bed into the guest room, where I currently have a queen. Trying to get rid of this queen box, mattress frame and Ethan Allen headboard to anyone, to make room for the new king. Problem is that I need to position it on another wall. No problem except the wall mounted TV. I have to remove it from one wall, place it on the opposite wall, run new wiring to have a plug behind the new TV mount. Oh, since we are patching and making holes, SHE wants to paint said room before the new bed arrives. Now, I need a new king headboard. I found one on offer up and grabbed it last night. Today, I notice this headboard is 9" too wide, which means I need to find a way to cut it down to fit on the wall with the two matching nightstands. Oh yeah, it is not the same color, so now I need to sand and stain the headboard before I do anything else. Holy crap, This little bed purchase is going to cause me a month's worth of work!

I've always said I do not want a storage unit. When we moved and downsized by about 40%, we had a huge yardsale "there." Then when we got "here" and got what we needed in the house, we had another huge yardsale. I can't say it was easy or fun, but the feeling afterwards of having all of that "stuff" gone through and taken care of and just gone is great. There was stuff I hadn't seen for years. I'm so glad to have done it and not have it looming ahead of me or leaving it to my heirs.

 

[12icemaker]

When you have stuff you have not seen or used for 30 years it needs to have been gone 29 11/12ths

 

[Pearl]

I lived through Walmart, barely!! Hubby got his new phone, I just finished setting it up for him! Fixing to feed my critters. It's chilly outside, nobody is happy, north wind is not nice! Was going to do some mowing, but pretty sure I talked myself out of that!

 

[Amish Heart]

Finally got all the Aldi stuff put away. Had to do little granddaughter's chores since she's at a sleepover. Had to laugh this morning...Andrea...a neighbor girl (she's 8) that I drive to amish school every day. She said next week Tuesday is bring your pet to school day. So I asked her what she's bringing...a barn cat? A chicken? Nope. She's bringing Brenda her little sister. Ha. Just husband and I tonight, so we'll get some takeout from the amish place and watch a movie. Got a new brooder set up, more chicks due Thursday. Restocked kitchen pantry from other pantry.

When my oldest was in kindergarten, I had just given birth to my third child. He wanted to bring his new baby brother to show and tell at school. So we did. I guess that’s better than bring a PET to school.

 

[Tirediron]

Wondering what I did all day, I know that I fed the tigers twice, and went to my neighbors for eggs.

 

[ClemKadiddlehopper]

You probably blacked out in the bathroom off loading all the coffee your drinking.

 

[Bacpacker]

Just got home from work all day. Did beat the storm home

Aldi label reading on their cheeses today. Did you know that 90 percent of cheeses sold use a GMO rennet that is made by Pfizer? Don't buy that crap. Look for cheeses with animal rennet or microbial rennet. They had some. Label reading is becoming an art.

I’ve known that for a few years and was surprised by how many people didn’t know it.
