What did you do today?

[zannej]

Thanks for the explanation, Randy.
The baseboards (which were mdf) in my sister's old house all had to be replaced bc the cats kept spraying outside the litterbox when peeing.

I got up early & ate breakfast, cleaned a bit, napped for awhile, got back up again & cleaned some more. Tried to put a dent in Mom's bottle pile. It's about up to my waist now. I filled 2 contractor bags & you can't even tell I did anything. Ugh. I wish I'd tackled this sooner. Brother was still having hip pain so he didn't take trash out but he did put a new liner in the trash can when I pulled the bag out. I napped after cleaning again and he tried to wake me around noon to go to the store. I asked for another hour so an hour later we went & picked up groceries and mail.

Got back home, unloaded & put stuff away & took another nap. Can't remember what time Mom woke me for dinner, but I cooked for her and then went back to napping again. Just woke up bc dog jumped on my bladder. Feels like I've got a kidney stone kicking around on my right side again. I'm still waiting for the thyroid meds to work to give me some energy. I keep having to nap all the time bc I'm too exhausted.

Fippy just let the cats into my room so they are piling on me. One just jumped over my monitor and pounced on my chest.

My brother will be teaching EFL tomorrow so he won't be home for awhile. The usual teacher is in quarantine so she asked him to substitute for her.

When this was V bulletin format, I could go in and change whatever needed done. After they changed to Xenforo, I can no longer do all that stuff. It has become boring.

I have this site on my phone screen. If I access it via Google chrome though a previous viewing, all the topics start on page one, so I have to scroll to the bottom of the first page in order to select the page I want, or to go to the last page. I have always wondered why you can't access the pages in a topic from both the top and the bottom.

Sounds like you're asking someone to throw a branch into your spokes while you're riding. You need to apply to be the host of Jeopardy or be a contestant.

My brother asked me to go with him for his EFL thing. It was his first time teaching by himself & he said we could go to the Walmart in that area to see if they had things they don't sell at our local Walmart.
I helped him organize his papers & hand them out to the few students who showed up (4 total). His handwriting on the whiteboard was so bad that one of the students couldn't stop laughing (the board wouldn't hold still bc it was hanging off of something). I held it still for him & it helped, but then I offered to write for him & my handwriting was more legible.
One of the students is from Vietnam and runs a monastery. He likes to do the gardening there. There was a student for the first class (my brother taught 2) who was a pistol. She'd naturalized & passed the citizenship test many years ago but wanted to improve her English. They were all nice & intelligent. At one point a practice exercise didn't seem to be going great (it was about trying to get the students to give directions to places based on a little map). So I drew the map on the whiteboard as best as I could & had each member of the class give directions to places so we could fill in labels for the buildings. They had fun with it. So, basically I got to be my brother's assistant.
Afterward we went to the store and found some stuff we couldn't find locally but they are still out of a lot of things. I racked out once we got home. I'm still hoping the thyroid meds will start working so I can get enough energy to get through a day with only one short nap instead of sleeping most of the day. I hate being so exhausted all the time.
I found some garlic chicken spring rolls that Mom seemed to like. They smelled good but they have caramelized onions so I can't eat them.
Today's agenda is resting, more cleaning, & remembering to use the nasal spray to clear my nose 3x. Allergy meds don't seem to be working & post nasal drip has been getting me. My respiratory system feels like garbage when I first wake up, but after using nasal spray last night it feels a little better.

Non scratch base for jig saw.

I'm trying to figure out why you didn't put the finish side down. The work room my stepson worked at put laminate on their proknees. He said it slid better and nonmarring.

You mean put the finish side down for cutting?

 

[Floorist]

Lost another tree. Now I have two to cut up

Our county wouldn't allow collecting petitions so we'd be able to put it on the ballot.
I would rather live in a state that's known for potato's than meth.

 

[Floorist]

you've been having storms?

Just a lot of wind. We had a steady 30 mph wind the last two days with gusts to 60.

 

[highup]

We had close to that a couple times in the past week or so.
We now have a lot of clean for trees. The wind blew all the dead needles into the streets.

I'm talking the finish side down on the piece you had attached to your jigsaw. At least in the picture to me it was the unfinished side.

 

[highup]

I can't see my lines if I flip it upside-down.
I've never cut from the bottom. If I flipped stuff shiney side down, I'd be scratching it on something somehow.

Nice jig, Highup.

I'm waiting on my brother to be ready to go to the store with me. We need more bottled water & cat food. One of our kitties is missing but I'm hoping she'll turn up. Still feeling very tired. I'll need to see if Samsclub has allergy meds since I'm out.

Started looking up castle joints bc Flyover on the houserepairtalk forum mentioned them.

Everytime someone mentions cats, I think of Chinese food.

 

[Floorist]

They wanted me to cook tonight. Scrambled eggs w/cheese and jalapenos, sausage links, hash browns and crescent rolls.

I think of the carpet pad and baseboards I took to the dump.
