When I post here from my phone, the gummy fish in the candy crush banner ad always makes me pause and think "Is that a green penis? WTF candy crush!".
My folks had to put one of their cats down yesterday. He'd been having health problems for a while, my dad came home from taking my mom to work and found him soaked with pee from the waist down--he'd have a massive seizure. The vet saw him and said he had maybe a week left, but the seizures to come would make one yesterday look like a walk in the park. So they put him to sleep, they said it was peaceful and quick. He belonged to my aunt until her death 6 years ago, he was the last living piece of her my mom had. The big, fluffy cantakerous maine coon is going to be missed.
I can't use the proboards app anymore because it logs me out as soon as I log in and it is so frustrating. I guess I should clear it or delete and redownload it or something.
I think I've reached the end of my candy crush love. I'm on a board that it hard and just not interesting to play.

Poor kitty.
Yesterday work closed two hours early. Yay?!
Tomorrow I'm going to a music festival with H. The ILs are staying with the kid because we are spending the night. Saturday we are going to go to Ikea, doing a little shopping, and hopefully looking at a few houses.

My arm went from look like a balloon to two of the bites looking all lumping and having extra little bumps on them. Seems that I've developed Skeeter Syndrome. It's totally real. Look it up
Last night PF insisted on saying "hi" into the phone while H and I were talking to a friend. We handed her an old receiver and she kept bringing it up to her ear. YAY!
Tonight we have 2 nanny prospects. One is a former nurse's aid the other is a former nurse. After talking to the former nurse yesterday, I was ready to hire her on the spot.

How sad, cuddlyevil! But it definitely sounds like the right choice.
I have come to the realization that my crappy day yesterday was a self-fulfilled prophesy. I decided the moment I got up that it was going to suck, and it did. No more of that!
I just realized that this coming Wednesday is our anniversary. I wonder if H remembers... Probably not. I don't think I'm going to say anything. Maybe it will slide by unnoticed. I don't feel much like celebrating whatever our "marriage" is these days.

Making forward progress, got an appointment a therapist (he says he's "very pro-marriage") and a referral to a different therapist. I also have a consult with an attorney on Monday.
I got some really excellent potential opportunities today. A potential job offer doing bridal alterations which would be excellent for our budget! Maybe I could have a car with AC!!
I also got a solid offer for to work 3 hours a week at a local fabric store in exchange for free fabric!!!!!!!!
I am so excited about both of these. Fingers crossed that both of them work out well.

Thanks partiallysunny and captainmel. The funny thing about this year's anniversary is that I'm honestly hoping that H forgets. I think it's the first year I've really felt that way. I just don't want to feel pressured into pretending that this is something to celebrate. Plus we still have my nephew and still don't know when he's going home.
Maybe H will surprise me and remember in some grand way (he does get a facebook reminder about it after all), but he hasn't mentioned it yet, and part of me really hopes he doesn't.

captainmel - That's great news about the jobs!! How exciting!
cuddlyevil - I know this is so hard for you, but I really think your handling everything amazingly well! FWIW I'm really proud of you and I hope that I am able to be as steady and level headed as you!

Thanks Starries.
It sucks but I think we are at the point where drastic measures need to be taken. He may get his head out of his arse and go to therapy with me but I know I can't count on that.
I may be level headed now but there willbe break downs along the way.

I am so excited right now. My neighbor best friend just told me she's 17 weeks pregnant. I am so happy for her. She's been struggling with IF for so long. She totally deserves this! I am going to go crazy sewing things for her baby.
