Daily Ooos: Friday, September 5

[faerywings]

Good morning! How are all of the Ooos today?
I'm doing pretty well myself. I slept great and it wasn't freezing when I woke up. That made it much easier to drag myself out of bed and over to the coffee pot.
I puttered around the house and worked on my next HS Pod lesson. I heard from Lauren at the end of the day that the Field trip was cancelled because they didn't have enough kids sign up. Boo. I can push this lesson out to October. The next trip is scheduled for Sept 26, but that is the day of the conference. Which-- we may or may not be presenting at. The workshop schedule is published, and my director didn't see our topic listed. I am fine with it either way!

Gary and I sat on the patio a little while in the afternoon and I got a few decent pictures of the birds at the feeder.




I forgot how to use the camera and was fooling around with some of the different settings. I'll need to practice some more, especially with the manual focus. I also need to work on my Bird Hypnotization Skills to get them to stay still for more than a second!!!

The big plans for today are making up a few flyers for the Hike for Healing Event, pick up the table, chair, and supplies and all that from Weis. Then pack my car with everything I will need- food and water mostly- so I can be out of here first thing in the morning.

What fun plans do you have today?

Oh I feel yesterday from my head to my toes. All those muscles I haven't used all summer. I have two new 14 yo girls to help this year and oh they were over antic and laughing and acting up. Next week were gonna have to have a calm down talk if it happens again. Just too much crazy. It was so fun and wonderful being back in the kitchen cooking.

Sounds fun and exhausting! Did you recover yet? I find that as I get older, my tolerance for teenage antics gets lower and lower
*fingers crossed that your puppy is better and that you slept through the night!*

Probably no more really long rides for us.

I understand!


Waving hi to you all!! xoxo

Great pictures of the downy and hummer! Are the hummers using the little house? My DD#1 gave me a set of 3 different houses and one of them is just like that one but I've never put them up. I'm mainly using them as decoration inside right now.

Good morning,
Quick in and out. Not feeling great today. Headache started yesterday and continues today. IBS has flared up so my stomach is a mess too. So I will be reclining in my chair and listening to my audiobook.
Have a good Friday!

Good Morning
Finally I got to sleep all night long! Yeah no doggy bugging me. Not much to report. I did some challenges yesterday and that was about it. Kids/hubs made dinner. I didn't know you could ask that many questions about tacos and what to do. But they did it and it was yummy. Today is another day like yesterday, not much happening but laundry.

@faerywings Chris I'm glad youre takin time to sit and relax before the school year gets busy and you have more field trips that you know what to do with. Cant wait to hear how your presentation goes too. You will be amazing.

@vickyday Hope your body behaves and you have a nice quiet day today Vicky.

Have a wonderful day Ladies!

Thanks, Tracy! Hopefully things will settle for me by the end of the day!

You KNOW the only reason for all of the questions and what to do was because you were relaxing!

It got warm today, expected for tomorrow, too, then back down to the 70s for hi temps after that. We had a short session of trail work today, just weed whacker and pruning of one of the neighborhood access trails. I love the look of a freshly groomed trail!

David is spending his usual Friday at Habitat. They are scheduled to lay sod, and he is really not excited about that, but figured he really should show up. I know he'll be tired this evening. I'm trying to clear some of the leftovers out of the freezer, so I can have dinner early if he wants.

Other than that, the excitement of the day is folding laundry. Ha.

I use OneNote to catalog my scrapbooking supplies. I noticed yesterday that the search function wasn't returning everything I was expecting, so I wrestled with that for a while. Finally just decided to delete the index and let it rebuild. It seems OK now, so crossing my fingers all is set. I'm thinking I may have to break out my older ScrapGirls stuff into a separate tab, just because I have so much stuff. I really dread the thought of changing to another product because I have this set up the way I like.

The weekend awaits!

Mostly it was because they've never been in the kitchen when I make tacos! They just show up and eat LOL I knew what was gonna happen when they said they would make dinner. I just cook. They have no idea the steps I skip and things I just know, like how much seasoning.
