I am getting stuff done around the house this morning, more so still working on cleaning out junk and minimizing what is in this house in an effort to clear out all clutter/only keep necessary things/make the house easier to pack up in the event that I want/need/could/should do that.
The garden is growing like crazy, my tomato plants are getting big, my carrots have finally started popping up, all the melons, cucumbers, and lettuce are up. I solved why all our pea plants got eaten - the birds are doing it! And the corn is lacking in nitrogen so it's turning yellow.
I need to follow up on the applications I've put in over the past 2.5 weeks.
I want squirrelymom to describe the taste of pickled peaches.
Pickled peaches are sweet and kind of sour. Have you ever had an apple cinnamon spice ring? They are pickled with vinegar so it gives it a bit of sour but there is also quite a bit of sugar.
We actually got the entire house clean yesterday; this never happens, there's usually something that doesn't get done. Though DH was annoying the crap out of me trying to help with whatever chore I was doing. There are eleventy billion things to be done, this one is under control, go find something else to do.
Two days this week and then a spa morning on Wednesday for my birthday, a haircut Thursday, and then the holiday weekend!
We go past a Talbot's every morning, and the clothes in the window always look so cute (to me). This might be more a confession or flameful?
Continuing to ponder the possible taste. I think I would either 100% love it and eat it by the barrel or hate 4-eva/
Have you ever eaten a salad with fruit on it that had a vinegar based dressing? It is that kind of pairing. You'd love it and eat it by the barrel. It is the same concept as sweet and sour sauce almost.

Today is my Monday back after a week vacation. Normally- I dread taking time off because you always come back to a shitstorm/ work piled up. 0 emails for issues while I was gone. I actually had a relaxing vacation and I didn't come back to a headache. I am attributing this 100% to my amazing boss. I love working for her- so much.
I am calling my pcp today to make a follow up appt to some issues I was having. The neurologist I saw cleared me and said she thinks my problems were being caused by anxiety and I brushed her off at first but I think she was right. And I think a lot of my anxiety has to do with how much trouble I have focusing. It's like a snowball. I'm kind of weirded out about talking to my dr about all of this but I really think I need to because I'm too the point where I think I'm just making life harder for myself for no good reason by denying I have this trouble.

I don't do dressing. I will use lemon juice, hot sauce/salsa on salads.
I'm so tired today. Went to the Columbus zoo and walked for 4 hours Friday. It pretty much made me useless Saturday and Sunday while I tried to regain my energy (all due to a medical condition). Then last night at 9 pm I got called into work because there was an emergency in the plant and they activated the community phone bank. I had to be back in the office at 7:30 am today. I got a triple mocha from Starbucks to help keep me awake.
The gas company is changing our mains connection today, they woke me up at 7.29 - ONE MINUTE before my alarm was meant to ring and that's made me grumpy for the day.
I'm a little irritated at DH this morning. He kept both kids home from daycare because DS has a rash all over his torso. We put some ecxema lotion on it last night and it's better but not gone. Daycare would load him up with bugspray and sunblock and probably make it worse so that is why DH kept him home. Ok but his plan is to stay inside so DS doesn't have to put any of that on. So poor DD is now stuck inside all day as default. He won't make a Dr appt for DS for them to check him out and I asked him what his long term mplan is then because tomorrow if the rash is gone and we send DS back to daycare, he will get loaded up again. SO what is DH going to call out of work every time a rash pops up, or should we, you know, figure out if he is allergic etc. Also, he had told the kids last night at bedtime no TV today because they took over an hour to settle down. Fine. I was prepared to take them outside anyway when we got home. Now he's keeping them home and inside so he took back the no TV punishment and instead they can't play with their pet frog. No way dude, that is a total cop out and I am pissed.
If that were me staying home, he'd have me hauling both kids to the Dr's office to have DS checked out. Also, the fact that I've been awake since two AM is not helping my annoyance about this.
Three day work week for me since the 4th falls on a Friday and we already have Fridays off during the summer.
My DD is visiting Pittsburgh with her friend and they danced at Abby Lee's studio yesterday. She loved it and her friend's mom, who took them, said the experience was way better than expected.

My stove is coming today!! I'm going to be able to cook in my house soon! (Ok as soon as DH'S uncle can move our gas line so the stove can actually be IN THE KITCHEN WTF)
I promised Lucy a day of swimming, since it's my last week of being unemployed and I can't be at the house when DH is sanding the floors. So naturally today seems to be overcast and depressing. Son of a bitch!
Golden Girls is a clip show, but at least it's a clip show with new segments.

I am addicted to tracking packages that I order online. I obsessively check the status from the moment I get the email confirming my purchase, and periodically throughout the day. I. Can't. Stop.
I didn't dare step on the scale this morning. We ate strawberry treats all weekend (strawberry crumble, strawberries and ice cream, strawberry mini muffins, strawberries and sponge cake, strawberry lemonade slushies, plain strawberries) and I couldn't stop eating string cheese. I totally have the bloat.
I also like Talbots. Classic clothes that last forever.
I woke up this morning hugging my 60 lb dog like a teddy bear. He wasn't in the bed when I fell asleep so must have ninja jumped into the bed sometime in the middle of the night.
