Hugs, Peekaru - that's awful! Is there anything you need/we can do to help?

Oh my gosh, Peekaru that sounds miserable. I’m sorry. I can understand how frustrating it is to be limited in activity and feeling stir crazy from it.

Bags are packed and there are a few last minute things to do tomorrow morning. Hopefully, I will be all unpacked and enjoying happy hour watching the waves crash onto the beach.

I'm very excited about one thing today. We have an app linked to our solar converter that tracks our energy consumption. Today is our first full day with the new solar water heater and as of 3 pm our energy production has out paced our consumption!

Ok, I give up. HOW do you wash mineral sunblock off of your body?! Every day I dutifully slather myself and my kids in the stuff and then scrub us all like crazy every night. My skin is dry and flaky like winter! I've tried Castille soap, bar soap and sugar scrub.

I did one positive thing this morning and made a blood donation appointment for next Saturday (approx. 8 weeks after my first). I know the blood banks were very short on reserves earlier this summer, and figure it's the same or worse now.
That said, I just had an endoscopy so not sure they'll take me. That was a specific line on their questionnaire last time. But I'll try.

My fridge is always full of prep cooking and leftovers which aren't very pretty but I LOVE doing 95% of my cooking all at once and being done with it. I still like looking at other people pretty fridges tho.

All I can think is how unhealthy so many of the juices they give their kids are. Full of sugar. Where the bottled water? They dont seem to care about plastic issues.

I decided to try DD2 in a regular bed here at the beach and it isn't going very well so far. I am sitting on the bedroom floor waiting for her to fall asleep.
