We got back from our nice anniversary dinner by the lake. The food and drinks were great and it was so peaceful. We need more time away from the kids, lol.
I am hoping I nail this interview tomorrow. I also wonder if the company I had a phone screen with last week will follow through on scheduling an interview.
I just finished a long, laughter-filled phone call with my BFF. We text back and forth all day most days, but I haven't gotten to see her in a couple weeks, and getting to actually talk was so wonderful.
Before that I went to dinner with DH and his coworkers. A table full of programmers and software engineers is a challenge when you're the most socially inclined person at the table. lol. I made it work though.
I'm PMSing and taking all the things personally since I've been home. I'm upset that my aunt and uncle are blowing me off on Friday after I already scheduled a flight to see them. I'm also upset that the friends I'm seeing this weekend are being extremely cavalier that BFF and I are flying across the country to see them. They can't even be bothered to respond to a text or FB message regarding logistics for the weekend.
I'm just pissed that I'm shelling out hundreds of dollars for seemingly nothing.
It seems surreal that we're moving in 1.5 weeks. Just a month ago we had no intention of house hunting. Dumb luck we stumbled across this house. Now I'm second guessing it because it sets us way back on the pay off the house plan.
Someone on a local moms fb page is looking to rehome their dog. If you aren't going to care for it, fine, look for a good home for it. However, reading the whole post was bothersome to me. The dog is a 3-year old lab who has, according to the person posting, never been behavior or house trained, never been socialized, has not been spayed, microchipped, or registered, and has not had her shots. Now, I am not a huge pet person but it seems to be there at three years old this dog should have had some of this stuff done. Am I wrong? I just get a neglectful vibe from the post and it makes me sad.
It's midday here, and I'm barely keeping my eyes open.
I haven't been sleeping well, and I'm not sure why. I finally fell asleep after a couple hours last night, and the ended up having a couple nightmares.
The last three nights have been like this. No clue why. Not sure when it'll end, but I hope soon.

I am anxious about a Skype interview tomorrow. I am also stewing a bit over whether I lowballed myself on the 'required salary' question. I was just caught off guard that they asked about salary in the first phone interview. I hate the salary Q because I'm always afraid of saying too high a number and pricing myself out of a job. I'm currently unemployed so I'm not necessarily in a position to be choosy. But OTOH, I don't want to sell myself short either.
I have been traveling like mad for work and only saw the inside of my house for like 10 hours in the last 10 days. But now I'm home on the couch with wine and sour patch kids and it's bliss.
Someone on my FB just posted that they are going to boycott Hobby Lobby...because they went there today and found they have already put out the Christmas stuff. In the comments someone posted "as if we need another reason to boycott HL" and multiple people were all "why else would we boycott HL?" *sigh*
I want to surprise H with a new tv for our bedroom, but can't decide which one. His current treatments are crummy and he's spending more time in bed because it's more comfortable.
I am drinking a Summer Shandy and not paying attention to the movie that DH is watching. I should be getting some stuff done but I am super tired and being really lazy.
I brought work home, which I totally ignored in order to futz around in our gardens. Hey, at least I was able to make something ordered and pretty, right?
I'm worried about my mental health this fall/ winter. I was pretty emotionally committed to quitting my job and moving for a new job for either H or me. And now it appeared nothing is going to pan out.

Ohhh, how are you settling in? Do you like the neighborhood? Did you keep the car?
Good, thanks! I like the neighborhood. We did keep the car...the parking in our neighborhood is not bad at all, but I have already found out the hard way that it can be a nightmare in some places. I still feel like I don't know the city at all...it's so much bigger than what I'm used to!
