I have all the books I could need, and what more could I need than books? I shall only engage in commerce if books are the coin. -- Catherynne M. Valente
We got our year summary of our CC bills and I'm trying to remember how much we spent on eating out in 2012. I'm pretty sure it would make you feel better.
We've spent $1100 on random repairs within the last two and a half weeks. It's exhausted the little savings we had managed to hold back since I started working regularly again. We need to revisit our budget again and see if we can cut anywhere else.
I have a set day for when I move, and realized yesterday that it's at the start of my job's busy time in the quarter. Secretly I am gleeful about this. Then I feel guilty. Then gleeful again.
I feel like I'm becoming a hermit. I rarely leave the house except to go to work. It's too much work getting my kid ready to go anywhere, and I hate driving in the snow.
One of the docs I support has been sporting a full beard (he's been growing it out for about two weeks), I want to tell him it suits him but don't want to seem inappropriate. It's finally long enough that he was able to clean it up and it works.
I think I want to move to H's hometown. He's lukewarm to the idea, since he's aware of all its limitations. Plus I have no idea what I'd do for a job lol.
The last time I brought my car in for maintenance/service was almost 5 years ago. I have been having severe anxiety about it (it's almost 20 years old) because I had to add some brake fluid (need new brakes) and know I need a new serpentine belt. I always get taken for a ride when I take it ANYWHERE local because they see me as a single woman and just start making crap up.
I found a decent place and dropped it off today with a laundry list of things to fix. The guy seemed nice and was recommended by my boss - his son used to work there and is good friends with the owner. I just hope the bill isn't too horrible.

My car is 4K miles past due for an oil change... This is stupid. I know how to do it myself, it's not expensive, doesn't take a lot of time. I have no justification for it not being done except I'm lazy.
Come on, you guys, you can't lay down this no-sex-in-a-month business without SOME kind of explanation.
::waits patiently::
::sits next to fuss and stares down chirp and PS::
The kid was sick and then I was sick. H was sick. But that doesn't explain the other three weeks. I asked H why he doesn't want to have sex and he says "I haven't been feeling good and I'm tired". Which is what he always says. Now you know as much as I do.

LOL. Apparently PS and I are sister wives.
ETA: H's mopey-ness is (IMO) directly related to his lack-of-a-job-atosis. He alternates between mopey and whiney to pissed about the whole damn thing. I think he's been normal for maaaybe 1 week since he was laid off (2 months ago). And yes, he is medicated and is seeing a psychiatrist and a psychologist.
That sounds extremely frustrating, PS. Time for a heart to heart?
Trust me, I have. We even have/had an "at lease once a week" agreement, which was working well. We were actually having sex a few times a week. Now I'm back to nothing. I'm hoping it's just a fluke, because of everyone being sick, but his default excuse makes me fear the worst.
I've been hating my cat lately. Like full on hate. He will not poop in the litter box no matter what I do. I'm sick of daily scrubbing cat shit off the basement floor. I've tried a million different things and nothing works. He is also constantly waking up the baby with his loud ass meowing. I hate feeling like this so I made sure to spend some time alone with him last night. Time to go back to the vet. Maybe some anti anxiety meds or something will help.
Also, A has her own iPod. This is more because I don't want my iPod ruined by ten versions of Old Macdonald. It was free anyway, but I felt like a douche asking the Apple guy questions about the baby's iPod.
PS - is he suffering from depression or something else besides just being physically sick a few weeks ago?
He does has anxiety, which he has medication for and is being treated for. I do think he suffers from depression as well, but he won't talk to anyone about it. I've asked him to discuss it with his doctor, but he always wants to "handle it on his own". This includes some exercise and eating better, which does improve his mood but only lasts a few weeks before he stops.
We had a come to Jesus talk about this a couple weeks ago.
If you reply, I'm went home for the night and am not ignoring you, lol. Be back tomorrow.
It sucks to have to force sex, but honestly, that's what usually gets me back in the saddle: a little talking myself into it. After a little bit, I find myself getting back into the groove.

This works for me too. It's like going to the gym. It's tough to get me there... but once I'm there, I'm SOOOOO happy I dragged my fat, lazy ass off the couch!
I haven't slept more than 5-6 hours a night for nearly a week. I think it has to do with the fact that I don't even like my job lately. I hate it most days actually, but I'm afraid to look for something else because I don't want to find out there's nothing better.

I find this is true for H as well. I think that's how we went from having sex once a week to three times a week. The more he had, the more he wanted.
But it seems the opposite is just as true, lol. If we don't make sure to have sex once a week... we go a month. And start rolling into two months.
I just wish I could shake the excuses out of him and get him back in the sack with me.
I've only had sex four times in the past five months. Too terrified, then too exhausted, then too depressed and then too fat, to do anything. I feel bad about it for dh. I need to work harder and keep better time records at work, so I get paid better, and I just haven't. I Need Cash, and I'm not doing what it takes to get it. I got five hours of sleep the last two nights in a row, and am exhausted. I'm going to go to sleep here before too long, like 10 pm. Maybe a glass of wine would help, or a thing of Nyquil/ the only thing good about my life right now is that I'm digging out from under at work. I also got a chance to be nice today, and pay someone back for a kindness and I did it, It felt really good.
Oh suesue. It seems like you are going through a lot right now.
But get your hours in and get paid! Consider this your ass kicking.

Ah, poor Chirp and poor Chirp's H. Hopefully that job works out. Not having a job is a huge ego blow.
Well it has been months for me as well. Between we are having some issues that stemmed from years ago. ( yes we have done the therapy route) His aches and pains, my menopausal state, my aches and pains, and hatefulness with my body and not really sure if I want to have sex. I am in bed before 10 every night, he doesn't seem to want to be bothered as well. we have both said we feel like roommates. Sooo I am in a slump, and wanting to go on a vacay to destress ,and find my H again. We both need to find that groove we had oh so many years ago.
AND I cut my hair off yesterday and I kind of hate it, gone from being to the middle of my back to above my neck. Hate is not the word.
I don't want to hijack the post, so I will end my rant now!! Therapy and meds have not helped, just in case ops offer therapy.
