Monday I slept in a bit since I was still recovering from the convention, then I started reorganizing the shipping container. It’s been on my to-do list for months, but I just haven’t had the time and energy. It was a super hot and humid day, so it really wasn’t the best time to do it, but I couldn’t put …

Monday I took photos and worked on the listings for the updated PP kits and sent an email to let people know they’re available. Then I worked on pockets since I need more to sell at the convention this week. I had to cut a few more in one color, but I had enough pre-cut canvas in the other colors. …
Weekly Mileage #271 and Convention Prep
Monday I didn’t sleep well, so I had a slow start to the day, but I did manage to get up and finish cutting the pocket pals. Jeremy and his brother went to see a movie and the boys played video games while Sunshine laid in bed feeling crappy from her booster shot. She didn’t react too badly to her …
Weekly Mileage #270 and Another Conference Added to My Fall Schedule
Monday I finished figuring out how to make a gift option for my Leatherworking course. Students (and their parents) need to sign up themselves so they can sign the liability form, but I didn’t have a way for others to gift the course and the recipient sign the liability form. Someone had asked about it last week and it took …
Weekly Mileage #269 and the Slow Week
Monday I had a slow start to the day, and it wasn’t super productive. Tuesday we went to music lessons, then I dropped them off at home and drove Jeremy to the VA center for the shot in his back. It was late enough in the day that we didn’t get back until after karate was over, so we missed …
Weekly Mileage #268 and the Eye Appointments
Monday the kids and I had eye appointments. Sunshine and my prescriptions changed slightly, it was recommended that the boys wear blue blocking glasses when they’re using screens. Ocean could also use reading glasses, though he doesn’t need them badly. The eye doc mentioned that needing them could result in him acting up when it comes to reading. He won’t …
Weekly Mileage #267 and Sunshine’s Birthday
Monday I took my time getting up. I was tired, but not as exhausted as I thought I’d be, though I did have a headache. I ran a couple errands, then cleared out my email inboxes that I’d been ignoring for the last couple weeks. I had planned to go for a run, but I was too tired. We celebrated …
Weekly Mileage #266 and the Ragnar Trail Run
Monday I got up early to go get a blood draw done to investigate an issue that popped up with the 24 hour pee collection. I had planned on going for a run with Max afterwards, but I ended up laying around for awhile because I was tired- I didn’t sleep well and I was still feeling run down and …
Weekly Mileage #265 and the OH Homeschool Convention
Monday I worked on pockets and such, getting ready for the convention. I was supposed to run in the evening, but it rained all day, so the trails were too muddy. Tuesday I got up and finished the pockets, then we went to music lessons. After we returned home I worked on the backpack for a bit. That evening we …
Weekly Mileage #264 and Nighttime Running
Monday, despite the sore throat I’ve had for several days, I took Max for a trail run. I’d already skipped my run on Saturday because of the sore throat, and I really couldn’t skip another run. The Ragnar trail run is coming up too quickly and I’m too out of shape. It was a decent run, but I can definitely …
Weekly Mileage #263 and the Week of Nothing Special
Monday I wasn’t quite as productive as I’d hoped, though I did manage a little sewing on my rucksack. Spent some time online, updating the PDFs that go with my course- I needed to make some edits to reflect some changes I made to the course now that students can sign up and start at any time. I also took …
Weekly Mileage #262 and Another Karate Graduation
Monday I went for a slow trail run. My muscles were still tired from Saturday’s long run (and being out of shape). I tweaked my new work setup in the basement a bit. I still need to change some things up, rearrange some shelves, etc, but I think it will be a better setup in the long run. Tuesday we …
Weekly Mileage #261 and Post Convention Productivity
Monday I got caught up watching a K-drama on Netflix, something I’ve avoided in the past because I have to read the subtitles, which means I can’t get anything else done like I usually do when watching something. It was a nice rest day after the busy week prior, but I also didn’t get anything done that needed to be …
Weekly Mileage #260 and the SC Homeschool Convention
Monday River got his braces on, then I did some of the grocery shopping, sewed buckets, and went to Scouts with Sunshine. She passed her Board of Review and is now a Life Scout! Next stop: working on her Eagle project. Tuesday we went to music lessons, I sewed buckets, we went to karate, and I got stuff organized and …
Weekly Mileage #259 and Convention Prep
Monday I had my phone call with the psychologist. My test results were actually pretty good, as in they don’t show indications of ADHD. However, the delayed recognition portion of the auditory input testing showed moderately severe impairment, which he attributes to my narcolepsy. He said if he was younger (he’s in his 70s, I think), he’d write a paper …
Weekly Mileage #258 and My ADHD Evaluation
Monday I went for a trail run with Max, but I didn’t feel great I was tired and drained during the run and my lungs were unhappy afterwards, but it still felt good to finally get out again. I stopped by Petsmart on the way home to get a new collar for Max for her birthday. Afterwards I made a …
Weekly Mileage #257 and The Crud
Monday I woke up with a tickle in my throat that left me coughing for quite awhile. Fun. I went to wallyworld for a few things, including more rapid covid tests, but I’m still testing negative. While laying in bed feeling crummy the last few days I’ve been doing a lot of reading and my creative writing brain cells are …
Weekly Mileage #256 and the Positive Test
Monday I went for a trail run with Max. Then there were more phone calls to be made. Our health insurance company, arranging River’s frenectomy and coordinating things with his orthodontist. Lots of fun. Tuesday River had his frenectomy consult and we scheduled frenectomy for the beginning of March, which means we’ll have to change the date of his braces …
Weekly Mileage #255 and Finally Some Trail Running
Monday I registered Sunshine for FSY. Since it’s only held every other year, she’ll be 18 next time it’s held and probably won’t attend. She’ll have a busy summer this year. It was too cold for the sap to run much. Tuesday we went to music lessons and karate. We collected a full 5 gal bucket of walnut sap + …
Weekly Mileage #254 and Tapping Our Trees
Monday I almost took Max for a run, but the temps are just too cold overnight. I spent some more trying to find the rest of my sap buckets. I found 4 or 5 of them last week, but I have a dozen, and I have no idea where the rest are. They’re not in the garden shed. They’re possibly …
