I woke up to my dog barking and someone pounding on my front door - the local police. My neighbor is missing and their house was broken into. Omg! I hope they find her and that she is ok.
I'm torn, I want to keep going with OITNB (I've only gotten in the first episode of season 2), but the new Outlander book came out today too. Both require undivided attention. And DH is OOT so I'm going to have to actually care for my children somewhere in there. I don't know what to doooooo.
I have curriculum mapping this morning (ugh-all week) and then it's raining and chilly all day. So I think I'm going to make cupcakes this afternoon and read. For hours on end. Maybe with wine. I'm excited.

Holy fuck. I hope she is safe.
My random seems pointless now. We had two close calls yesterday. I found out around 9:30 I may be out of a job. My company is being merged. There are several depts. closing. A few hours later H text to say he had a mandatory HR meeting. This typically means layoffs. He was safe, but half his dept. is gone. I am very thankful he didn't lose his job.
My feet have started itching again. They started getting itchy and rashy last fall and I was diagnosed with lymphoma in the winter. I never really knew if the two things were associated, but my eczema and foot rash (and zits. Lol) went away during treatment.
I spent all evening/night restless and freaking that the lymphoma is back. "Generalized itching" can be a symptom.
Having the eczema gone during chemo was probably just a pleasant side effect that is wearing off now, but I'm calling my oncologist AND my dermatologist today. Ugh.
I think I'm realizing that even if it never ever comes back, I will never have blissful naive brushing off of minor medical concerns again. Ever. For the rest of my life. :/
In the past week we have found 3 ticks on the kiddos. 2 on DS and 1 on DD. So far none of the bites seem bad looking. Still, in almost 6 years we have never had any ticks until this past week. It's making me feel all creepy crawly.
I decided to clean my washing machine last night because I'm a responsible adult and that's what we do, clean things and stuff. I was going to run a cycle with just bleach but then I had a brilliant idea that vinegar is really good at cleaning too and if they are great apart think of how awesome they will be together!! And that is how I accidentally discovered how to make chlorine gas. Oops.

FWIW, I know my mother's psoriasis and eczema were dormant during her treatments, too.

Holy shit, that's scary. I hope they find her.
Our little dude is getting sick again. We've been up with him a lot the past two nights so he's super cuddly. I look like hell in this photo, but I love it.

I'm waiting on a prescription--this tooth is being a complete PITA.
My favorite author released a book today. I wish I had taken the day off to read.
Written in My Own Heart's Blood? It may or may not be downloaded to my phone for any downtime I might get today.
I didn't know you were an Outlander fan! I had it preordered and this morning hit refresh on my nook and it downloaded it. Stupid job getting in the way of Jamie Fraser.
ETA we will be in Traverse City over July 4th weekend. We leave Monday and she is doing a signing Monday night from 7-9. I'm trying to figure out how to make this happen lol
My sister had her baby yesterday. He is adorable, tiny and healthy. Mom and baby are doing great. I watched him come out and it was the most incredible, disgusting thing I have ever seen. I also stand firmly by my decision to not have a mirror when I had ds.
I know 3 people that had babies yesterday. Popular day apparently.
I am the WORST at going to bed lately. At night, watching Scandal is totally more important than sleep. And usually I'm not that tired at bedtime. But I'm dying every morning. Ugh. Cannot wait for maternity leave to sit on my ass.
