Good Morning Everyone
"Clink!"

You sound like a mess Subclinical (((HUG)))
Please find/take some time out just for you.
Do good things, just for you.
Get showered shampooed, do your nails.
Dress in something pretty.
Make it an at home spa treatment type day.

The house will still be a mess and the barn rats will still be partying but you will get to them later. 😉

Ps I'm sorry about the thrift stores. Going in the wrong direction. Stuff out, peace in.

I am thrilled with my peace since working in the closet.

Good Evening Everybody
My Honeysuckle started to bloom today.
The sweet little Hummingbirds noticed. 🙂

Hi Tatoulia
So very happy you are finding peace with all you have done in that closet.
For some reason all those cards, letters and other old mail are hard to do.
Maybe because they have been around for such a long time and they all bring back memories.

Sounds like you had a nice day just being out and about.
Tomorrow morning I am driving to the water depot and fill two bottles.
The two bottles are empty, I still have 5 full ones.
Just want to get out for a little while.

WTG! eating better and listening to your CDs!
Yum! Raspberries.
I still have a tiny sugar Monkey on my back but he's easy to distract.
My main trigger for binging on sweets is when Steven starts his screaming rants about the "virus conspiracy" and how everybody is acting like fools believing in it.
Today he was spewing ridiculous "facts & figures" to prove that there is no virus.
He gave me a headache and when I asked him to please quit shouting at me he got all nasty & huffy but he did finally shut up & go away.

I never do state my opinions and beliefs about the matter.

Have a great day at work tomorrow. 😀

Made up the bed with the fresh clean sheets.
Scooter came up and went to his spot investigating it.
I reassured him that it was all clean.
He saw it was all clean and is laying down there sleeping beside me now.

Been watching "Dark Shadows"
On the 1075th episode now.

Steven has discovered a thrift shop has opened.

It's good that are accepting donations but Steven needs to unload not load up.

Straightened out the fridge.
Cleaned the kitchen.
Did a load of bed linens first thing this morning cause Scooter barfed in bed at dark thirty.
Watered the garden and now I am watering the grass.
Plan to take a shower soon and wash my hair.

Tillie we have frequent barf sessions here, too. For the past fifteen years I've been saying, it's ok kitty, sometimes best friends throw up.

I enjoyed my afternoon. I ran to the grocery store for some fruit and cat food, then came back here and ate some raspberries, I changed my sheets, did one load of laundry, met BF to go to the hardware store and post office, then we hopped in the car and drove around the city just to enjoy no traffic, then he needed to run some more errands so I sat in the car, enjoying the breeze, and worked on my crossword puzzle.

Took the trash out, now I'm ready for my shower.

I have coffee hour in the AM, then a meeting at 10, then company office hour starts at 11 instead of 3 so I'm thinking the office will close at noon.

Tillie I am feeling better about myself. I'm eating real food and not feeling the sugar temptations. I'm listening to my CDs and they are doing their magic!

Hi Tatoulia

Have a wonderful time today getting outside in that beautiful weather! 😀

Having already done so much already you will be motivated to tackle that paper shredding when you have the time.
WAY TO GO! 😀

Tillie!!!!! Love the story! I can picture it all!!! So beautiful and fun!

SubC I'm glad you got to teach a class from your classroom. What a shame with all the changes. But you are my hero. You kept things going and you adapted and your kids feel the love. You provided them a sense of normalcy when things around them were collapsing. I'm so pleased to have you as a friend.

Another beautiful day here. I will be getting out soon. Post office, groceries, etc. then errands with BF.

I haven't done any more shredding and I'm fine with it. I'm feeling hood about myself and have the weekend to accomplish even more. Soon I should be in the position of putting/organizing the important things. There won't be many.

Good Morning Everyone

Hi Subclinical
So nice you got to actually see some of your students in person.

YEA! for teaching a class from your classroom.
Must be sad in a school with only echoes where there used to be much life.
((((HUG))))

I hope they get this virus contained soon and everything gets back to normal with a minimum of loss for children's education.

Good luck finding suitable storage for things as your Dh starts setting up the coffee bean roasting.
Make sure the fiber is stored safely so you don't lose any to moths.

Rescheduled my dental cleaning appointment from June to September.
Hope by then I won't be too scared to leave quarantine.
Will see how I feel about it as the date grows closer.

Twinkies is telling me to feed him NOW!
So I will feed him now. 😀

Sounds like you had a good day Tatoulia
plus plenty of time to do the crossword. 😉

Best blood drive I ever did was at the Governor's mansion in Carson City.
The mansion staff treated all of us like royalty.

When Ronnie and I were set to go on a break the Butler escorted us to an office where we could sit, smoke and put out feet up.
We put our feet up on the big desk in the room and were relaxing happily.
Then the door opened and the Governor walked into HIS office!
We sat up immediately apologizing and he said to please sit back as we were.
He sat in the big chair on the other side of the desk and put his foot up too laughing about the fact that he only had the one leg.
So we all sat there talking and laughing with our feet up.
He then gave me 2 golden state tokens, one for me & one for my son and Ronnie 3 tokens since she had 2 kids.
Met so many local "celebrities" that day. Casino owners, brothel owners, millionaire cattle ranchers, etc. along with hundreds of local Citizens.
I had complimented the First Lady on all the beautiful flowers filling the rooms and as we were leaving she insisted we should have the flowers and the Butler and some Maids loaded our blood mobile full of them.
It was a 20 hour long day for us but we were happier than tired on the drive back to Reno. 🙂

Tillie, you have done so many interesting things!

CM, hang in there. I hope your roof does ok. We are having rain all week, so I am thinking of you.

Tatoulia, keep up the good work!

Yesterday I ran my last class pickup. I think about half the families showed up. I got to see a few of my kids, most for the last time. - the kids who came are mostly going to other schools next year. One promised to visit next year if he can. One parent told me I will probably lose her kids next year because their dad got laid off. We have scholarships, but we are tuition based and there is never enough scholarship money to go around. I don't know how the scholarships are awarded, but they never ask for teacher input. Probably good. There would be hard feelings over favorite kids.

I put all the "abandoned" Items in the gym. There will be one last school-wide pick up in June, but that will not involve me.

My room is starting to look cleaned out (aka "normal"). I still have to sign up for an actual 2 hour clean out slot.

Two more days of online school.

Yesterday I went up to my classroom to log on to my end of the day class because I did not have time to drive home. One of my students looked at my background and said "HEY! You are at school! How are you at school?!" They want to come back so badly.

It felt really good to teach in my classroom. Even if all of my students were invisible.

Dh wants me to spend Saturday working in the studio barn with him so that he can set up his coffee roasting station. I have to move a bunch of fiber bins that I have no idea where they can go.

Scooter's wearing your shirt!!!!

I had a good time donating blood today. Then I had juice and raisins. They had one packet of raisins in a sea of cookies and pretzels. It took a while because they were backed up but BF had sent me a Sunday NYTimes crossword to do. He knew a couple of people who were working the event so that was a nice treat. When I got there I was told the wait would be 1-1/2 hours and I said, sounds good.

Then I came home and rested.

Only managed to shower and do dishes today. Will get trash gathered tmr and will change my sheets tmr or Friday.

Okay that's the news!

Cm, I know you have some challenges right now and we are standing right by your side. I had completely forgotten about the low iodine diet. The only thing I remember is no cold cuts. I too would meticulously go over the documents to make sure I was ready. I did manage to walk home from the hospital but I was a wreck for some reason. I was surprised to learn that there's no eating after the treatment, so I went to sleep to make the time pass. It's a weird time but it's a good and effective treatment.

Tillie thank you fir the poem. I could picture it all so clearly.

I have work this AM then a charity day to donate blood in the afternoon.

Bright and sunny here!

Hi CriticalMass
Yes, so many things to think about and do and then even more things get added.
Hard to juggle it all at times.

Enjoy the Bunny time trimming nails.

I know very well the worrying about rain when the roof is leaky (((HUG)))

Take care and post when you get a few seconds (((HUGS)))

Hi Tatoulia
Enjoy your bright and sunny day!

Scattered clouds, slight chance of rain but very cold still.
Scooter is wearing my flannel shirt that I want to wear.
Will bribe him out of it with cat snax. ;p

Hi Tatoulia

YEA! for us!!!
Eating clean and clearing out all that processed sugar! 😀

Way to Go!!!
Fantastic job well done!!!
Now that file cabinet will serve you well keeping the important papers safe and right where you know they are!
So very proud of you (((((HUG)))))

Remember, first we declutter then we can organize.
Should you later decide you need or just want hanging folders you know where the stores keep them.

The cards from old friends served their purpose at the time.
You will always remember the people, places and times.
Letting go of the paper reminders frees you up for the life you want now. ;D

Keep up with the clean eating and fantastic shredding. 😀

Still having difficulty managing all the things to juggle.

Roommate's schedule for treatments in late June, and for a low iodine diet starting two weeks prior, has been laid out. She is thinking aloud about many many details, which is understandable.

My mind, alas, is already stuffed with tons of details.

If I go a little longer between posts for awhile, don't worry. These are just unusually full days.

Tomorrow I go to the bunny house to trim toenails. They have adopted out some bunnies. Fewer to feed, so maybe their money will stretch. Hope the adopted bunbuns are enjoying happy homes and loving people.

We have a stretch of rainy days coming Thursday. Again. Roof needs a major overhaul. It worries my roommate, naturally. And me as well.

The sky was filled with thick gray clouds all day.
About 6:40pm the sun broke through from the west with bright silver white light that lit up everything beautifully.
Making all the colors shine vividly.
There was no wind.
Then the sky above opened up with a downpour of rain.
The silvery sunlight lighting up the garden and the rain drops streaming down.
It was like being transported into some mythical magical fairy land.
