Is it an MRI of your cervical spine or brain? I thought you had a brain MRI before.

The client that signed the contract last Friday for tutoring wants to start this week since he has a big test next week. And his kid has ADHD & possibly autism. We tell our clients it will usually take 2 weeks at least to find someone. And he doesn’t have availability every night. I have 1 good candidate from Indeed plus one of our tutors is going to try the drive to that city tonight & see how long it takes her. So I’ll interview the Indeed woman today & wait to hear from my tutor. Worst comes to worst I’ll send Will for 1 session just to get the client started this week then continue with whichever tutor I hire for the job next week. Ugh.

I could not sleep. Tossed & turned even though I took 2 melatonin gummies. Fell asleep around 4 am & popped awake at 8:30 am. The only caffeine i have is in my morning Dr Pepper zero.

W is substitute teaching today, tomorrow & Thursday so he’s getting a lot of practice in. He should have his Texas teaching certification soon. Hopefully he doesn’t get sick again.

Since I was up I took G to Sam’s Club for cat litter & a few other items. Got a good mile of walking in since I couldn’t find trash bags.

Just the usual housework to do & a few loads of laundry, & some business emails to send out.

spent most of yesterday doing a ton of work for other people who just need "a couple minutes of my time" but sucked most of the day away.

have PT this afternoon and MRI on friday. yikes. since they are doing this mri without dye, it's only about 20 min in the tube.

found a cavity in my front tooth this morning wtf?

have already started the wobbles even before i get to work. i might be the only person working today.

off to put contacts in.

Y, I started Pandemic in a rust color in 2020. Got 7 pages in but we moved here to TX & I put it away. I brought it out after I finished a Christmas cross stitch in January. This house is all blues & greys & we will have at least 1 more move so I started it over in all black.

I can’t stay awake today. I keep nodding off on the couch.

Tax prep is done and transmitted to the accountant and all bills are paid - accomplishment.
I put Frozen on so the music is good to work to and keeps me going.

Joyce, didn't you do a pattern called Pandemic once before?  It was grays and blacks?

Not much going on here.

We skipped church because DH wanted to watch the US men’s hockey team. Glad he did because they won gold!

I emptied, reloaded & ran the dishwasher again. Dh is making Boo’s jerky. I appreciate that he cleans the meat slicer himself but I can’t finish cleaning the kitchen until he’s done with the dehydrator.

One of my current tutors applied for the job I posted on Indeed. I told her I’d hire her if she wants the job. Now she’s saying she’s not sure if she wants to drive that far. Sigh. She’ll let me know tomorrow. So I’m leaving the job posting up. I only got 2 other applicants- foreign sounding. Strong english is a must for tutors to teach kids that are struggling. Even if my tutor takes the math client I still have to hire for the client’s sister who needs help in English.

I didn’t get to my wedding dress so I must do that today so I can mail the pieces in tomorrow.

I’m nearly done with 2 pages of my cross stitch “Pandemic”. Out of 20 pages. I’ll set it aside once these 2 pages are done & start working on Ainsley’s Christmas stocking for a few months, then switch back to keep it interesting. Her stocking is pretty easy so it should go quickly.

Got up and did the BJs run early before the rain came. 

We have had 2 quick rounds of rain and now the sun is trying to peak out.

DH's back is really bothering him so for now we are hanging home.  I'm going to try and get the taxes done and all the backup loaded to the accounts portal.

After that, we'll see what we do, my guess is probably just go out for dinner.

Have a great day.

Well went to bed after 1, was up at 2 then finally fell asleep and was up just before 7.

We ran around for about 5 hours or so and got all the errands we needed to done for now.  Stopped at the pizza place by our house for a late lunch. i have a Gyro salad that was soooo good.  After we got home and unloaded the car etc DH and I took a walk.  That was nice!!

One problem with eating that early is you get hungry so DH and I shared a bagel.

No clue what we are doing tomorrow yet.  We'll figure it out in the morning.

Never got back to my taxes today so tomorrow I need to buckle town.

Have a great night.

Yeah we don’t even use Uber & started getting charges on our debit card so I had to dispute them. Good thing I check our checkbook account regularly.

I slept in today since I slept so terribly the night before. Boo woke me up at 6:40 am but I went back to bed & didn’t get up till 10:30. Usually on Saturdays DH is full of energy & wants to tackle “projects” but he caught a cold on his IN trip so he’s been just sitting around watching the Olympics.

Since he’s not bothering me I took W & G with me to Costco for a few things & Hobby Lobby. Both were so crowded. Costco isn’t carrying cat litter anymore, grr.

The rest of the day I’m just going to putter around. Put G’s clothes away, wind my cross stitch floss on bobbins, cut up my wedding dress & get it ready to mail, & possibly continue organizing/purging my closet.

A new client took 2 weeks to sign the contract & now wants to start ASAP. Doesn’t work that way. I don’t look for a tutor for a job until the contract is signed. I reached out to 2 of my current tutors but they can’t do it. So I placed an Indeed ad this morning. Fingers crossed.

so after i blocked the first scammer from NJ, the next scammer started calling from TX. the fun never ends.

got creamed at the restaurant yesterday had to keep devan moving. he did well until the lady that's flirting with him came in, then he did nothing but parade around in front of her table. she even shouted at one point YOU'RE TRYING TO CATFISH ME and that's when i walked away.

went to the chiro, he said i had 4 discs out in my neck from the massage lady i'm assuming. came home and called the bank to ask why my card was declined on amazon. she didn't know. i also asked what this $650 withdrawal was for. she didn't know that either but said the main guy would call me monday. finally got to the dealership and put the cars up on facebook, not much else. came home and did computer work and learned how to do more stuff with chat gpt that should help with etsy stuff.

have a one on one on tuesday with the etsy mentor guy.

today we're working on etsy and chat gpt and trying to build a social media account or two for my etsy mugs.

and answering the phone from scam callers. thanks cindy

have a good day
