Feeling a little better today, as the headache is subsiding. I did make it to work today, but plan to rest over the weekend and let my body heal. I've been postponing grocery shopping since Tuesday, so tonight is the day. We are officially running out of food... Tonight's dinner will be pepperoni pizza with black olives…

Woke up yesterday feeling pretty cruddy. Called the doctor before work and they squeezed me in. The headaches and all were leading up to a sinus infection... They did a Covid test to rule it out, but it came back negative. I had today off, and slept the day away. I'll go back tomorrow, but I'll be taking it slow. I just…

Found out last night that Anastasia's class is going virtual. Half the faculty and 2/3 the student body is out for Covid (including her girlfriend that sits right next to her :# ) Anastasia has some pretty big feelings right now, but they'll get through this too. Feeling pretty tired today, but we're missing the girls like…

Easy day today. Only half the kids as usual since 4k - 5 had off today. It worked out. I have a neurologist appointment later this afternoon for a recheck. No real concerns, just want to be sure we can keep refilling my prescriptions :) Had a quiet Halloween night. We live on a highway, so we don't get trick or treaters.…

My migraine is much better, just a headache here and there. It's just from the shift in weather. It will even out.. A scale model show is for plastic models that people build. My husband has been building car models for years. He paints them, glues them together, and displays them in a case. It really is quite a process.…

Woke up with a horrible migraine this morning, to the point of my ear hurting. Got up for a while, but the lights and noise were just too much. Took some ibuprofen and went back to lay down. Feeling a bit better. Ready for coffee and a migraine pill to get me through the day! Tim drove to Oshkosh this morning for a Scale…

Hubby slept horribly last night, but I slept in. The only thing planned for today is to take the camper in to be winterized. Tim should be home before 1, and they do winterizations until 3. Luckily, they are only about 6 miles away. Otherwise, I am taking a day to rest. I'm trying to nurse this cold. Making some chicken…

Easy day at work today, and we had a fun day. No school tomorrow, so we wore head costumes. I had a deer headband and painted my nose black. It was fun. My truck run consisted of only one box. They could have sent more, but opted to give me an easy day after my busy day yesterday :) My cold is just kind of hanging on, not…

My cold seems to be getting worse. I even got light headed at work yesterday and almost passed out. I sat down to hand out trays to the kids and took my mask off. Halfway through lunch, I was feeling back to normal. Today, I worked 7 hours since I went in at 6:30 to help with the truck delivering the food shipment. I…

Yes, it is

Back to work this morning! One of us girls called in, so we were short handed. But, with the food shortages.. We had an easy day. No buns for the hamburgers, so we had pizza for all. What kid doesn't like pizza?! I have the start of a seasonal cold. Just a little stuffy, but I guess it's to be expected when you go from 70…

Line a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, making sure there is overlap over all edges. Spread 1½ cups whipped topping into bottom of lined pan. Arrange 2½ graham cracker sheets over whipped topping, breaking crackers as needed to fit into pan. In a medium bowl, stir together ½ cup whipped topping, pumpkin, sugar, and 1…

We made it home yesterday around 3, after having a nice breakfast with friends. It was a really nice restaurant and reasonable too. We were really surprised how quick they were to bring the food! Our cabin was right on Hwy 17 next to Laura's Cafe. We were centrally located to Three Lakes, Rhinelander, Eagle River, and St.…

Made it up yesterday around 4:30. Beautiful small cabin. Perfect for a getaway. Relaxing with coffee for a bit before making some Strawberry Almond Cream Pancakes for breakfast. Not sure what is on the agenda today yet. We'll see how we feel after showers and such. It's only supposed to be in the high 40's today. Have a…

I only get arthritis flare ups once in a while when I do a lot of repetitive work. I wiped down the tables in the lunchroom the other day. The wringing out of the rag constantly did it. Thankfully, it doesn't flare up often. I called my girlfriend the other day. I used to work with her at the printing place. After I quit,…

Long day today.. No sleep last night. My arthritis acted up and kept me up half the night. Then, I couldn't fall back asleep after Tim's alarm went off at 3. I took the whole day off tomorrow, so I will be resting up tonight. We are not leaving until 1:00 tomorrow, so I'll have time to pack up in the morning. Quiet day in…

Had a productive day yesterday. I accomplished lots of small tasks, so it felt like a putzy day. But, it felt great to get it all done. Tim worked outside taking the flower pots to the shed, and taking the canvas covers off of the screen porch and grill gazebo for the winter. It is time. Depressing time of year... Going…

We spent yesterday running to Madison to shop at our favorite meat market and Costco. We had hoped to visit with my daughter, but the whole family is sick. Nope, not going near that! We stopped at Rock N' Wool Winery for a tasting and went out for pizza for dinner last night. All in all, it was a very nice day. Working on…

I finally felt as if I caught up from my lack of sleep the other night. I take a short nap every day after work, but set the alarm for 30 minutes. The last few days, I really had to drag myself awake. But, today, I woke up before the alarm did. Watching a coaching session tonight on plateaus. That's always a challenge for…

Today was my busy day. I do a lot of lifting on Wednesdays, so I am very wore out. I spent the evening cooking bacon wrapped stuffed chicken breasts for dinner. Mine was a Colorado style with onions and peppers in it. Yum. I spent the evening working on the menu for our next trip next week. We are going towards Rhinelander…

Slept much better last night, but now we are behind..LOL Watched a webinar on stress eating yesterday. Where was that when I was working my last job?! Still had some great ideas and tips. Most of it where things I knew, but it's always nice to be reminded of them! I made a light lemon chicken over rice for dinner tonight.…

Hubby tossed and turned last night, so I woke up feeling like I didn't sleep at all... I came home after work and took a nap. Had something quick for dinner, and am working on laundry. Easy night. Rainy day here today, and cooler. Though the house had a higher humidity level.

We ended up enjoying ourselves at the races. The campground... Not so much. But, it was just a place to sleep anyway. It is a small private campground that seems to cater more to the permanent residents. To a point that they have special rules for permanents and non permanents. Next year, we will park the camper at the…

We've never been to this one, and to be honest, we are not looking forward to it. We are ready to put the camper away for the year. But, we promised my brother in law we would go... Making potato salad tonight, and packing the camper tonight. Because we are there to watch the races, I won't have the extra time to make my…

Going grocery shopping this afternoon. We have a quick camping trip this weekend. Not our usual camping, just going to watch my brother in law race for a couple of days. There is a campground next door to the racetrack, so we will be staying there rather than driving the hour both days to Unity to see him. So just planning…

Horrible night's sleep last night. Just rolled and rolled. Not really sure why. Ran errands after work today to the gas station and drug store. I needed more migraine and thyroid pills. I should have gone yesterday, but I was waiting for a call back from the Dr. Guess they just called in the refill instead.. Making…

We ended up driving out to New Lisbon yesterday to check out a new winery. The wine was good, but we were not impressed with the atmosphere or service. When I say that, I mean that they don't offer cheese platters or a place to sit and enjoy a glass. So.. When we left, we had to search for a place to eat lunch. Now, mind…

Still working on that organization. Took some time for a nap yesterday. Was just so very tired. Was a rough week with little sleep. Needed to compensate. Last evening, Tim and I went out for miniature golf for date night. It was nice. There were a couple of kids running around the course, but.... It was still nice to get…

Taking the day to work on more organizing. Time to rid of the clothes I no longer fit in, or no longer want/wear. A little at a time. Just don't have the energy for more than that. Visited with a friend for a bit yesterday. I had to run into town to swing by the bank, and decided to stop for a short visit while in town. It…

Busy day today. I had a very large delivery to both schools today. At least they gave me a helper...LOL I am exhausted and glad tomorrow is Friday. But, on the positive note I got my first paycheck today :) Not much planned this weekend, just more organizing in the bedroom. I think I have more clothes than room! But,…
