I'm having a run later, so perhaps that will help.

I remember that Simpsons quote too!

Good luck with work, Leanne. I'm glad you slept well.

reason to believe

Yeah, I feel much better than yesterday when I was tired and sick feeling! I feel more alert, and have had a nice latte too.

I might be starting an inventory today and didn't think I would be so I don't have my low sitting stool I planned to bring or my hand gloves.. which I NEED cause touching each book gets actual dirt build up on the fingers. Books are soooo dirty!

I'm glad you can sleep better in your own bed now too Claire

There You'll Be

Claire, did you get un-bored today? Are you out for a run right now?

Yeah, I'm just wondering if that's the reason, not sure yet.

Leanne, I've never seen any of those Simpsons, but the quote on it is funny to me. Glad you slept well.

It's not fun that you weren't warned so you could be prepared for inventory. Maybe keep that stuff in your car until summer break.

So, I slept from 5:30am-7am, and 10am-12pm. I don't know how that's going to work out for me. I played with trolls for a while, but got bored.

reason to believe

Hi Kim You mean you teased trolls on twitter?

Yeah, I'm starting inventory, so I'm not as posty at work today. But I have to take breaks cause wearing latex gloves doesn't let my hands breathe well so I have to take them off and let my hands breathe. Plus my arms being up alot hurts so I need to rest down my arms! I'm doing fiction book counting. So far standing and using a chair helps. I also have a cushion I can sit on the floor with here but its kind of hard to move around and not hurt my back too much. I'm not 5 yrs old anymore where I can sit on the floor crossed legged and then keep getting up and down like that

I don't have an audio book ready to listen to though while I do it, which I usually listen to so I don't have to hear "beep, beep, beep!" for hours.

Yeah, that's short sporadic sleeping, wonder how that will work out!

There You'll Be

Yeah, that's what I mean, Leanne. Apparently I'm using too many big words for them, and they start yelling things like DON'T BE SO STUPID at me. Sometimes it's fun.

How's your day going now? yep-things were so much easier when we were 5 and we could just plop down anywhere, for hours, then pop right back up.

Oh that's awesome that you have that to listen to.

I'm sure I'll probably want to, and succeed at, napping, later. That won't help my sleep.

reason to believe

Haha just making sure you didn't mean playing with those troll dolls from the '90's!

Ok, doing inventory is going quite fast. I did all the fiction books before recess and now doing non fiction, around the room perimeter. At this rate I should be done this inventory here by next week!

So my day at work is going good, cause when I do inventory, I can actually see how my productivity has been before lunch and at the end of the day. I got two more hours of work left!

I'm glad I'm feeling better than yesterday.

How you doing?

MarissaAngell

OH hello there

I just fell into this topic How come I miss things easily

He he anyways how's the summer globally so far?
Mine is unable to decide if it wants to be hot or cold. So the day time is mostly hot as hell and nights gets cool as my soviet freezer.

Meliana

Yeah when the person you're arguing with feels out smarted by you, you've definitely won.

I'm sorry the sleep situation isn't improving, Kim. Having a lack of sleep could be adversely affecting your mood too.

Inventory is tiring Leanne. I'm glad you're taking breaks. It sounds like you're enjoying it, too.

Yes I went for a run, Kim. We took the whole family out. The kids aren't used to running but it's great to get them exercising.

There You'll Be

Nope, not the cute little troll dolls. Still have some, though. It's just fun to play with his trolls, cause they get so mad and start name calling.

that inventory is going fast. I'm glad your day is going better than yesterday. I like being able to see progress in work I do, too. I'm just happy to hear you're doing better.

I'm okay. I'm about to take a little nap. I will absolutely be back tonight.

I wonder what happened to Claire. She hasn't been back around, on any of the usual boards.

ETA-JINX Claire. Funny, I was just posting asking where you were. I'm glad you had fun running with the kids.

MarissaAngell! Is that the name you go by, or do you have a name you like to be called?

Hot here. Lots of typical afternoon thunderstorms.

Meliana

Sorry I wasn't around for a bit. After the run I cut my son's hair and then we all had a shower so it took longer than usual.

I hope you get some sleep.

Hi Marissa, it's been a very dry summer here so far, it was quite warm today, too.

kiamay

Leanne, I'm so with you in the zombie mode. I have a new roomie at the hospital. She snores sooooo loudly and also has sleep apnea. It drove me up the walls and I woke up with the worst headache. Knocked me out for most of the day.
Glad to hear your back is feeling a bit better
And for good work day

Kim, I saw the raccoon on fb. OMG. Why did it go up there?! So glad it ended well! I'm sorry you weren't feeling well mood-wise. Hope you're much better. Sending you goo thoughts! And keep on troll-teasing
I'm still waiting for a diagnosis so nothing new here.
BTW I had a total Dr. House moment when one of the doctors asked me if I have ever been tested for lupus

Claire, I'm not a mum but I can relate to the dilemma. Sometimes my students tell me things about themselves or other kids in confidence and I know I won'the be able to keep the secret. I usually try to talk to the kid and make them understand why it is good to have their parents involved. Once that is done they can decide whether I should tell them or whether they want to do that thenselves.

Meliana

I'm sorry you're still without any answers, Kia. I love the House reference!

That's great advice, Kia. It's harder for me as I don't see the child in question. Things have gone well today though. I think I might ask to have a chat with her mum though, just so she can be aware that her daughter might hurt herself.

reason to believe

Strangely enough, I'm enjoying doing this inventory cause I feel like I'm getting things done. I've already done 30% of the collection today!

I hope they give you a diagnosis of something, Kia, soon. ugh, its hard to sleep with a loud snoring sleeper!!

Have a good nap, Kim, see you later

I also hope you have a good night, Claire!

Hi Marissa! Long time, no see!!!

My back is a bit sore just cause of the leaning and bending Ive had to do with these scanning of books. I'll be in my soft recliner tonight for sure

I have about 25 minutes left at work!

Meliana

I'm glad you're having a good time, Leanne.

I'm tired but I can't sleep. I also have restless leg syndrome. I took the hint and got up.

I hope your back is okay after all that!

reason to believe

I hope being up will help your restless legs right now

I went to get groceries and freaked out when I put away my toilet paper package cause I turned it around and there was a wasp on it I got the wasp on a towel and hopefully carried it outside! But I didn’t see it fly or fall anywhere so I’m not sure but I hope it’s not in my room anymore. How the heck did it get on my package? I almost carried that under my arm into the house not knowing about that! I didn’t get stung so that what matters but it sure startled me

I’m laying on my couch resting after my active day at work
