I'm sorry CM,

We'll be here when you need us.

Today's focus is - drumroll- evaluations!

(Bean is coming tomorrow)

(Bean is coming tomorrow)

Not doing too well on the evaluations.

Baby goat has an eye infection. No big deal except I had to drive 40 minutes to the vet pharmacy. I was also out of feed, so I hit the drive through feed store on the way even though the prices are slightly higher. (With gas these days, the close place would be about the same.) and I stopped at the thrift store on the way home.

Two hours and 45 minutes later I have medicine, feed, and six pairs of jeans that fit for less than $26 with tax.

I am now challenging myself to do some evaluations before I eat lunch.

I finally made some progress on the evaluations.

39 to go.

I allowed tomorrow off for Bean, so that is 13 per day on the other days I have left. If I do a few during his nap tomorrow I can whittle it down. I did 21 today and I am wrung out.

New jeans are in the dryer. Feed put away. Dishes kept up. Baby goat is getting her medicine on schedule.

Hi,

It occurred to me later that I could switch things up, post now and then in the main part of the boards here, maybe help some newbies with practical matters. That way I wouldn't feel overwhelmed emotionally but wouldn't have to detach completely. And I can read posts here still, chime in briefly if the mood strikes.

The upsetting thing I alluded to earlier may have some chance of being less dire than the worst case scenario. Let us hope.

I'm in a little better mood about my mess. I hope my table is usable for the end of this month.

((Hugs))

Mar, good luck on your table.

Tatoulia, I'm glad mom is home..

We're on our way home now. Stopped at a hotel. I should work on the evaluations, but I am very tired and rung out. Cried a bit in the car today. It has been hard because his parent's house is not a safe space for me.

Also, I have eaten so much sugar the last few days. Mil let me see the pineapple "stuffing" recipe to be sure I could eat it. It was basically pineapple upside down cake with no cherries or sour cream and bread crumbs instead of the cake batter, but all the sugar that would be in the cake batter.

The nuts for the salad were coated in sugar, breakfast is basically cake or cereal - and all the cereal has at least 13g of sugar per serving. There were strawberries - which she sliced and drenched in sugar before putting out, the corn bread had added sugar and apricots. it was all tasty, but everything was dessert.

Also meant to tell you - I have a new baby goat waiting for me at home! It's a girl!

I'm sorry ladies, but things are once again terribly uncertain and stressful. And I'm sick and tired of telling the latest in my never ending series of life complications. Talking about it actually makes me feel worse.

The only thing I can do is pray this latest thing isn't as bad as it sounds but it doesn't look good. It's not my physical health, although stress is not good for that.

Going to take a little break, don't worry, if I can bring myself to I'll check in now and then. I didn't want to leave you hanging.

Checking in. Mom ate a tide pod and is in hospital. Not sure what they are doing for her. No more tide pods for her. I'd like to get her the laundry sheets I use but I think she'd have trouble learning to use them and will view them as dryer sheets instead. I guess back to the bottles of liquid detergent.

Ps I'm sorry if I seem cold about this. I just learned that if she's not bleeding, crying, or unconscious, I don't have to worry as much. Doing something boneheaded like eating a tides pod isn't going to rankle me. BF met me at her place and sat with us while we waited for the ambulance.

Tatoulia. I am very sorry.

Memorial service yesterday. It was at the church where Dh and I were married. His grandparents are also buried there in the memorial garden, and the minister who married us was an old and dear family friend - who died a few years ago trying to help someone who crashed their car on a hill across the street from his house in the middle of the night. We spent the rest of the day with Dh extended family - the part I love. Slept ten hours last night. Still worn out and crying. Evaluations are still behind. (I allowed yesterday off in my math)

Today at his parents place - his brother left yesterday, sister leaves this morning. Just his parents and favorite aunt and her (second) husband - who is a very nice man, but didn't become part of the family until "recently" my kids all remember their original great uncle and everybody calls him by his first name only.

Ok, going to put some clothes on and go face the people.

SubC I am sure you are drained from the funeral. I hope you found comfort in the church that meant so much to you and your family.

Mom made it home this AM. Was supposed to be last night but they were having trouble finding transport home. So she spent the night. She said that she was in a place where all the nurses were singing and that the room next door had fifteen days and they were cute. As long as her hallucinations are pleasant, who am I to correct her?

I'm at a friend's house, laying down and playing with my phone. I'm also feeding her cat. I'll head home soon.

Hello!

Tatoulia,
Glad for your mom is already at home.

Yes, I've considered buying a shredder, but I've not enough money right now. Maybe later.
Great the shredding event! I wish there was also in my city.

SubC, I'm sorry. How are you now?

Mar, I think you should talk to your medical care provider. It is likely you can stop disinfecting purchased items. That might help a lot.

I added some of the things I did to the lust, sonic I have done 13 out of 18 things.

One thing I have not done is pack. I also have not done my last group of evaluations for today, but I am less behind than I was this morning because this group us 5 and yesterday's unfinished group was 7. I am super tired.

Mar, what exactly are proofs of purchases? Are they receipts? Can you shred and/burn? Check to see if your town has a shredding day where you can take a box of stuff to be shredded. Also check your local staples or Office Depot or some other such places to see if they have a shredding day. getting rid of those will be much less time consuming. For now, can you put in a bag or box while you look for resources? As to the paper plates etc are those used or new? Used can go in the trash bin.

I hope I'm not being intrusive, I'm just so excited for you to get started. Don't orient to the result, orient to the task. So focus on a task on the table, not the whole table. Today I'll put the receipts in one big bag to deal with later. Then when you need a break, do a little googling to find out how to have the receipts shredded.

Coffee clinks to everyone!

Hi all!

Subc,
It has been said that it can be unnecesary disinfect purchased items, but I don't feel safe if I don't do it. My other option is putting the items in "quarantine" for several days.

Tatoulia,
Maybe receipts. Idk exactly how to say it in English, hehe. Piece of paper that one receives when making a purchase, listing the products, prices, and the total cost.
I have no a shredder. And I don't like to burn them because it produces smoke and pollutes, I prefer to put them for recycling.
Idk if Office Depot offers shredding service in my country, it would be great!
Yes, I've a box for paper and cardboard.
It's ok, you are not intrusive 🙂
Thank you.

Receipts/proof of purchase, all the same. I didn't realize you are outside of the US! So glad to have you here.

Try to find a place to shred the paper and/or consider buying a shredder if you think you'll use it and you have room in your budget. This could help you get rid of the receipts faster.

I have a shredder but when I have lots of stuff, my BF and I hire a shredding truck and we do his business papers and whatever I come up with. There's a shredding event in my city on June 18 and we can bring up to ten boxes of shredding, so we'll get some stuff ready and bring it there. They will also take old electronics, clothing, and paint. A pretty decent event and easy enough to get to.

Going to bed. My cleaning ladies were here today so I came home to a nice, clean house.
