It's Thursday not Wednesday

[partiallysunny]

I convinced myself this morning it was Wednesday again and it couldn't possibly be Thursday.

Nope, it's Thursday.

Woke up this morning to a puddle in my kitchen. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it's a fluke.

Welcome to home ownership.

[cuddlyevil]

I hope it's just a fluke too.

We've got a staff picnic here today. I'm excited!

I woke up to a dog barfing.

Which turned out to be a good thing since Mr. Smock forgot to set our alarm. Thanks, dog!

a blessing is disguise!

I woke up to my cat trying to mess with my alarm clock because it was making bird sounds. It got me up earlier than usual at least.

[margarita]

Yikes! I'm hoping that's just a fluke, too.

I woke up this morning to a crow cawing REALLY loudly right at our (open) bedroom window. It scared the crap out of me!

So glad it's Thursday, one more day until the weekend!

[tiramisu]

partiallysunny I'm also hoping the puddle was a fluke.

I woke up to the fall. It is 40 degrees outside right now. This calls for coffee.

[gault]

Our backyard is basically a big forest in the middle of the 'burbs. I peeked out the window this morning, and right in the middle of all these green trees was a patch of brilliant orange.

IT'S STARTING, YOU GUYS!!!

My new cat Leo is kind of an asshole. Getting ready in the morning takes twice as long now because I'm constantly having to remove him from the top of the dresser, the kitchen counter, etc. And then he tries to bite me when I move him.

I know. I love fall so, so much! Why can't it just stay like this?

[dixienormous]

I was woken up by my alarm clock but I was in the midst of a really fucked up dream so I'm ok with being woken.

I'm not ok with the fact that my alarm was set for 5:35am. I like working 8-4. I hate waking up more than an hour earlier than my usual time.

I love fall too. Love love love it. I have really been enjoying my runs lately because it's been a little more crisp, although not as chilly as I prefer, but it's coming!!

Ew, I'm sorry. Why are you waking up earlier than normal? Different work schedule?

[motzie]

Should I get a foster? I want to, and we've been asked about a dog here in town, but H thinks it's not a good time. In a lot of ways, he's right, but I feel like you just make it work if you want to. Right? What's a little more chaos anyway.

This dog only has one eye and was ditched by its family due to growing vet bills. Poor buddy.

I think you CAN make anything work, but SHOULD you?

Sometimes you have to step back and say "can I handle the additional stress? Will the additional stress make other areas in my life slip?"

On days that H has class I work 8-4 so I can get home to relieve the nanny. Which means I have to be on a train at 7am to get to work on time. Blerg. I hate being a slave to a train schedule.

Ah, okay. But it's only temporary, right?

Until H finishes school in June. But this is the 3rd year I've been doing this. It's harder because it's only Tuesdays and Thursdays so my sleep patters get all fucked up

[Chirp]

Oh no. I hope your H was too lazy to clean up the water he spilled on the floor during a midnight snack raid.

I mean, I'll still help you nut punch him for making a mess and not cleaning it up, but at least you won't need a new dishwasher or something.

The puddle was on the counter, near a drain pipe that goes to the upstairs bathroom. It could be a spilled glass of something, but it could also be that pipe... I'll have to watch it when we take showers and give the bath tonight.

We had a few little things happen like this when we first moved in. Luckily they were all quick fixes, tightening pipes, etc, but when it first happened we panicked and thought we'd bought a lemon house.

You better believe I was chanting "I still love this house, I still love this house."while trying not to worry this morning.

[starrieskies]

Yay for Thursday!! I'm forcing myself to have a good day today. The last few days have been hard.

There's this creepy cat who hangs around my parents' house at night. When it meows in the middle of the night, it always wakes me up. In my half asleep stupor it sounds like DS crying "MOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!" Scares the shit out of me every.fucking.time. Nevermind the fact that DS is sound asleep in the bed next to me, I still wake up thinking its him.

[captainmel]

I'm going to put an AW here. I made this hat.

Mel!!! You made that hat! I love it. I also love the color of your bathroom!

[captainmel]

Thanks neonpink, I'm really happy with my hat. Boyfriend picked the color and I wasn't in love at first but I really liked it once we finished painting. It is Sherwin Williams Blueblood. I had it color matches to the Behr premium paint though.

I also just noticed that my mirror is filthy. Oops.

[partiallysunny]

I love it Mel!

Thanks PS! Boyfriend thinks it is completely ridiculous but I love it. I told him I would take myself out to dinner without him.
