I think sales are supposed to start next Thursday the 23rs? It really depends on when the inspection is. We can sell anytime after we have the inspection and have the product. The product is coming the 20th.

No crap but that's honestly easier if it's not diarrhea 😝 Got one section of the chapter read. Then laid on couch for a little bit for headache and tiredness. I woke up before 4 tho I didn't get out of bed til around 6.

[edit] 1220pm So. Took trash off, went and picked up Nathans suit. Need to get him a new shirt. And oh yea! I got my grade back on the 'design a toy" classwork. So I got a 99/100 :D The only thing was I didn't describe enough social/emotional development for the toddler toy (12-24m). GO ME (and ) hahahah!! :D

Oh nice, congrats ! That's definitely a better part of your day! :P

Yes, for sure better. I did two more sections of the chapter. Have 1 left. Laid on the couch more. Mother Nature decided its about time to visit, and maybe thats why I've had a headache? I don't normally, but I think I may have gotten a headache this time of my cycle last month too....weird.

I didn't used to get any PMT symptoms but in the last few years I get a day of searing cramps. I figured it's something to do with getting old?! 😆 sometimes being a woman sucks!

[edit] Wahoo:

You got a forum point while making a post! Check out the shop here!

Finally!

Doesn't it tho :P Getting old sucks and being female sucks.

Finished reading/notes for chapter 5. The quiz and extra credit are locked til midnight (I won't do anything til after I wake up tho) :P Guess in the morning I'll do those for chapter 5 and move on to chapter 6, hopefully I can finish it before Thursday morning. (I should be able to - depends on how busy I get doing other things to get ready to leave Thursday).

611pm Oh for crying out loud. If it isn't one thing its another. My AC is leaking out the emergency drain again. And the shop-vac is over at hubbys new place. So guess I get to use the shampooer to suck water out for now and hope it works to empty it enough. (We have done that before, before we got the shop-vac). Guess I will need to look into getting my own shop-vac. Think this is because it got SOOOO hot today, Its 93 right now and was closer to 100 earlier. And heat index was at least 100. First time its got that hot.

So after dinner (cuz we were cooking when we realized it was leaking) I get to go play in a hot attic. Yay.

Apparently your cycle changes every 7 years or so. So PMS things may change, cramps, etc.

I get a headache behind my ears every month, it's so obnoxious.

ugh Kat. :( That really sucks!

Seriously? I never heard that. I mean, my cycle HAS changed off & on but I sure as heck wasn't paying attention to if it was every 7 yrs or not. This one is like a fog across my forehead and just a general achy feeling in my head.

We got most of the water sucked out. I think I might play with the features and see if the dehumidifier is turned off...> I think we had an issue with that a few years ago after it was first installed. Normally after the first time or two it does this, its all good after we've cleaned it out. So this is the 2nd or 3rd? I can't remember but hopefully this will be the end. I think its stupid it does it tho. They told me after the first time it did it after we had it installed, (years ago) that if I got their service plan, they'd come out 2-3x a year and service it and keep it clean and it wouldn't do this. But seriously? If all you do is suck the water out - I can do that, so thats why I didn't get the plan. But I may end up having to now that Ryan moved out because I dunno if I can keep going up in the attic to do that. Nathan was up there, but I was on the ladder to empty the stupid thing out and its a pain. I might have to see how much per month/year the service plan is.

I also turned it up another degree - so now its set to only cool to 74. It was 72, but i turned it up to 73 when i saw it leaking, to get it to stop running (it said house temp was 72 but was running).... I may end up running around in my house in shorts instead of pants if this keeps up hahahah :P W/O Ryan here wanting it freezing cold, that may end up being what I do, for real!! I'll have to see how Nathan feels tho. [edit] Good Morning. I have been working on school of course :P Got a 100 on the chapter quiz, a 100 on the homework assignment, and I know I got 9/10 questions for the extra credit, but the last one is an essay response and still waiting to be graded on that one. Started my notes for chapter 6. Going to take Nathan to his school in a little while to take his unit test and see whats up with the not being able to skip to the next chapter.

Yeah, I read it a while back and then looked to see if it was true, and it was! I don't remember the exact amount of years, but I thought it was pretty interesting! Of course, things can always get worse, instead of better.. which makes sense, when we're talkiung about what we're talkinga bout :P

Congrats on your schoolwork! And good luck to Nathan, and finding answers!

Today we're cutting up and freezing fruit from last week that the we didn't finish, the cherries and strawberries. Always useful to have frozen fruit, and then I don't feel bad about ever wasting any.

I always forget about frozen fruit. I have frozen bananas right now. I should use them and make banana bread....if I ever find enough downtime (Ok if I MAKE some downtime)....

Yeah, you'd better PLAN yourself some downtime! :P

Ugh I just cut three feet of vinyl on the wrong side. Hopefully I can still use it, but I'm not holding my breath. I'll see what happens after I do these ones. I'm tired of this already haha.

Oh dear. Bad vinyl. Well doesn't laying on the couch half the day yesterday count as downtime? 😝

I also spend the evening just reading on my Kindle app. Since I couldn't do any schoolwork lol. I mean I could have done chapter 6 reading, but I wanted to do the chapter 5 homework and quiz and extra credit first... So I didn't do anything for chapter six til this morning. After I was able to access that stuff.

At the highschool. I have been talking to the teacher and honestly I'm beginning to think Nathan is gaslighting me on stuff. Like, when I asked her why it wouldn't allow him to move to unit two, she said if he failed the pretest it would give home more assignments. He said it didn't the other day. But today there was an assessment and a quiz? Really dude. (And no, I don't know if used that term correctly-gaslighting-. But it sounded right) lol

Anyway. So he did those. Guess he failed the quiz again tho because he said it told him to see his teacher. So here we are. Hopefully passing the quiz and the test so he can move forward.

Definitely sounds like he's not telling you the truth, which.. sucks, big time. It really sucks with stuff like this, when you can't really tell what's happening or not. When everything was paper and you could really see what was happening :P

Thankfully the vinyl didn't cut all the way through the carrier sheet, so it DID work to recut it on the right side. Now I just need to press a million shirts, including one for Isabelle. We're going to try and press it first, THEN tiedye, to see if it'll work. Then I have two other shirts to tie-dye and then press. It'll be fine. Everything is fine :P

I mean, she COULD have gone in and reset those so they showed up today. (she did say she was going to go look at his work) But I didn't look myself earlier to see if there were any assignments he could redo- I just asked him if he had done everything he could do and he said yes. And anytime I get him to try and explain how this specific program works, he gets all pissy at me. I'm trying to learn so I know what I'm looking at dude and so I know you have DONE what you SAID you did. Agravating child. Anyway. he says he passed the unit 1 test. So I told him since he didn't do anything yesterday because "he didn't have anything" - today he gets to do MORE - because what he did this morning counts as yesterdays work :P So There. AND i told him that while I am gone for the youth group - he has to text me a picture of his progress every day and if he does not progress or fails stuff then I will take the harddrive away when i get HOME because - obviously - I cannot tell if he would go and just take it back while I am gone :P

Oh and then know what the smart-ash says? "You know mom, its funny how i begged you to get me that harddrive, and then i've barely been on it." Yup. I then told him, he still made the bargain, so he has to keep to the bargain.

Glad the vinyl was able to be recut the right way. Only a few shirts? Thats easy. You'll get it done :D - Breathe - Take A Moment - you're right - ITS FINE!!!!! :P

It's 12 shirts. 12, I think? I honestly don't even know anymore, I've lost track :P 12, plus Isabelles. Then tie-dye tomorrow.

Then three more, plus 5 to still design and cut and press for Ds grad party. We'll do those Thursday after storytime at the library.

I wish I was ACTUALLY getting paid for any of these :P At least I got reimbursed for the VBS ones, or will. Lynne gave me $20 for 2 shirts, then added three more :P

Nathan and Lily seem to be cut from the EXACT same cloth! It's so frustrating and aggravating, when we only want them to do THEIR best!

Good grief. You cannot count . You literally said TWO more in your original post. (That makes only 3). Then you had so many numbers in this last post I have no idea how many shirts you have to make now :P LOL "We'll" ? Is someone helping you? Hopefully. Its easier when you have help (usually) and if you aren't getting paid to do them and they WANT them, then someone should be helping. - at the very least, they need to supply all the materials or the material cost. You are still spending the time doing the making. Is Isabelle's going to be different or is it the one you've already been working/experimenting on with the vinyl then tie-dye vs tie-dye first then vinyl? :P

My gosh yes. SOOOO aggravating. I'm trying to HELP you child, and you won't let me help. But if I leave you alone you don't DO IT!!! And yes, come on!! Do YOUR best!! not a half-ashed effort.

My time on neo for the year has ended. Made it to all star in 8 days. Now to focus back on beta.

Thankfully Mother Nature hasn’t visited me in 24 years. I’m on the depo injection. The best thing ever.

Congrats on all-star !! I did depo a few times but it was too expensive to keep up. I tried a patch type for a year. Then gave that up. After Nathan was born hubby got a vasectomy so then I haven't worried about birth control since. I think no period is the only thing I'm looking forward to as I get older 🤪

[edit] 715pm Chapter 6 done. 100 on homework. 90 on chapter 5/6 quiz. Maybe I'll redo that tomorrow since I have a 2nd attempt. highest score wins so even if I do worse I still get a 90. Next assignments not due until June 26th and 28th. Plenty of time to work on them after youth group. Heck if I get bored enough tomorrow/Thurs a.m. I might start reading for computer stuff.

Gonna go have some "DOWNTIME" mieke :P So there. Gonna go read my book. See ya'll in the morning or maybe later tonight if I get the urge. Just not feeling the questing right now. but my book sounds good. (weird that I want to read after i've spend all day reading for school eh?) LOL

Yessss go read! haha.

Reading for pleasure is definitely different!

I'm on the mirena, my third one. I don't really get the gross parts, but I do still get PMS-y, which is.. quite annoying! :P

And Iz's is different. It's a flamingo, and then she dyed it in different shades of pink. I do think it'll work, though.. that the dye will wash off the vinyl, not stick to it. That would make things so much easier!

The adult ones are all done now, for VBS, other than the one that I need to cut a bigger decal for. Yayyyyy!

The church is paying for the shirt materials, I'm donating the time. Which is fine, honestly. It's not even hard, it's just like.. annoying? :P

Are you going to redo Izzy's if the vinyl dyes?

Morning!
Get to go to the lake beach in a few hours. It's been terribly hot and humid here, as well. Stormed hard on Monday evening, which is when I was out w/ my oldest b/c she didn't have the time right on her exam. At least it gave me some time to take a nap.

What have you been reading, Kat? Oh and congrats on the toy making grade! How many hours/days do you work for the fireworks sales?

BC gives me bad side effects so I just gave up on it. Bria has been on depo for a few years now and she's pretty happy w/ it.

Haven't been able to make the covers for my books b/c I realized I didn't have the right stuff for a cloth cover, or have any decorative scrapbook paper. 😔 Found some on Amazon but I know I can find it elsewhere for cheaper.

Not sure if I want to eat before or after the lake. I know I got to get a small cooler together just to keep some fresh water w/ us. Should've picked up some fruit the other day to take w/ us but w/ this heat, I doubt we'll get hungry.
