Thursday mid-day
We made it to the playground before any rain. I sat in the van cutting fabric (I got 8 wipes cut out) and writing notes; it was breezy and shady in the van where I also enjoyed some oldies music with my blue strawberry icee and Chester's puffcorn. The twins played for a while, then they went on a "glass hunt" to collect little bits of broken glass for a jar at home. We read 2 of our books, and we made it to the dollar store (I got a measuring tape). We looked in the hobby shop since it is going out of business, but as I expected - it is still too expensive. We skipped the library - I'll be in T'ville on Saturday for Lowe's and Books-a-Million, so library and storage can wait until then.
We got home and checked the mail. The twins finished the last of the pizza for lunch...followed by fruity snacks for dessert. Then it was back to the Xbox - sigh.
My appetite is gone, but I know I need to eat either a sandwich or mac & cheese. Most days I can stuff down a tuna salad sandwich or Vienna sausage sandwich ANYTIME. I'll try that momentarily. *Update - I ate 1.5 tuna salad sandwiches.
I'm just not feeling good right now. Maybe I have overdone it today - I don't see how. I feel like I need to lay down, but I don't want to waste a good day. We still have books to read, a glass project to finish, and a belly to put hand prints on (and take pictures of). I've also got 6 more wipes to mark out and cut. I need to put that new measuring tape to good use before I lay down too - and start a load in the washer - and empty the trash.
*Measuring Update...I measured out a "room" in our living room - 6'x8' which sounds smaller than it is. It would be a fine office or nursery; it would even serve as a bedroom for T if need be...though I'd want to add 1 foot to both length and width for extra walking space. The length of the wall needed in the office (if we went that route) is 11' 5" putting the potential dimensions of that room at 11'5" x 5'3". With a crib coming in around 4'7" that could be the perfect nursery; T's bed would fit if up against the wall and little/no other furniture present. It could serve as an office, but our desk is 5'3" - that's cutting it too close, unless we change desks.
I bought a Grade 1 Spelling workbook today; now I have 64 more pages to scan into the computer. I can dig it! We also got our free "Cells, Genes, and Protein Machines" Coloring/Story Books from the National Cancer Institute today; though we have 4 copies, I'm still scanning one in for good measure.
