My boss is retiring and her last day is Wednesday. They just posted her position internally on Friday, so we'll probably be without a director until at least the beginning of September. I'm anxious to see how this all plays out.
Today would have been my grandma's 70th birthday. She passed away at the end of June 2012. Even though I only got to see her like twice a year, she was an awesome grandma. She was awesome at baking and cooking and loved spending time with all 11 of her grandchildren. She really loved babies, and I'm so sad that she'll never get to meet this baby.
tacocat She sounds like someone very special! ((hugs))
Today is random Monday for me at work. Looking forward to grocery shopping. I may or may not have left dog puke for DH to clean up...I was in a mad hurry

tacocat - Sorry you are feeling down. Grandparents really are the best.
I'm having one of those days where every little thing is upsetting me. AF is due Wed, so I'm sure that is why. It's still annoying though. My eyes started watering because my work email was going too slow. I keep having to tell myself to get a grip.
tacocat aww, that is hard! She sounds like such a wonderful grandma! We just found out my grandparents are selling the family home, since they are having more and more trouble managing the place I know it's not comparable but still sad to see the house where i've spent every christmas etc in! Grandparents really are the greatest things <3
We are just finishing up the laundry and vacuuming the car at my parents house then ready to hit the road. Such a boring 6 hour ride!
wanderingenough hate those days. I hope that things start getting better. Sometimes a good cry helps
wanderingenough sorry you are having a rough day. Those are the worst - I always feel like WTF is wrong with me and why can't I get it together. Stupid hormones.
My VPN isn't working so I'm getting nothing done work wise. One of our managers sent a "friendly reminder" group text. The other guys managed to squeak out a few "thanks" replies, but I really just want to reply "efff that". Apparently I'm a bit hostile today.
I'm tracking my food in MFP and trying to figure out how I'm going to get more protein in without screwing everything else up. Yogurt = sugar. Nuts = sodium and fat. Beans = sodium. I need something that's straight up protein.
wanderingenough So sorry....any chance you're able to walk away and get some air? I know that does me wonders. (Or if you can close a door....sitting somewhere with your eyes closed and breathing in and out on slow counts of 6...that helps me too.)

What about Chobani nonfat plain yogurt? It's bland, but one little container does have 30% of your daily value of protein.
I'm totally overwhelmed with decorating. DH and I are doing things a little at a time. I see these rooms online and about stroke out. Trying to mediatte: It takes time...it takes time....and not everyone is an interior decorator.....ommmmmmm.

My friend/coworker asked me to walk with her to Starbucks in about an hour. I think that the fresh air will help.
wanderingenough Speaking of Starbucks, a former friend and I used to joke that Starbucks cured all minor inconveniences....because starbucks has both coffee and chocolate Have a nice walk!

This is how I was when we first moved I to our house. I found it helpful to scour the pics online and then hit somewhere like TJmaxx/Homegoods. If you have a bit of time to search, there are usually some good finds.
I also had a friend who has a real eye for interior design come over to help. She asked where I stored all the stuff I thought I couldn't use. I showed her to a guest room closet and she pulled all kinds of stuff out. She spread it out on the living room floor and just started putting stuff in different places (and it looked great). Sometimes just having another set of eyes helps.

tacocat- ((hugs)) my grandpa passed in June off 2011. I miss him so much, I had to see a councillor about it. I am so so sad that he will never meet my children. He met the first (and currently only) grandchild and he was her favorite person in the whole world. He was amazing with children.

Same here. I was really close to my grandpa and I am sad he won't meet my kids and never even got to meet DH. I think they would have really liked each other.

awick14 This week he has to talk to one last committee member (she was OOT for the interview last week) so right now we are waiting to find out when that will be. Then they have to do the background check. So we are guessing maybe sometime next week.
My coworker called me this morning. He got a call from a recent patient of ours. (This is a patient who was on a motorbike and he hit a truck that ran a stop sign.) The patient is lucky to be alive. Anyways he called to thank both of us this morning and to let us know the extent of his injuries. This never happens. I love to hear stories about my patients who recover better then expected, it warms my heart.
@mrsmb I would be so overwhelmed too! I agree with wanderingenough sometimes another set of eyes gives a fresh perspective! Whenever you're done decorating a before and after pic is definitely needed to see your fine work
HoneySpider- I hope he talks to the lady soon. Are they at least starting the criminal record check now? Those things can sometimes take awhile.
No, our understanding is that they won't run the check until after he talks to this lady (boo, what a waste of time) They said it could take up to a week, although IME it hasn't been that long, usually just a few days.

Chicken breast with lemon pepper is delicious. If you want something sweeter Quest bars are amazing. I have a chocolate chip cookie dough with my oatmeal everymorning in order to get my 20g of protein.
HoneySpider I can't imagine the sticker shock. I have lived in the same area my whole life, and things are pretty cheap around here. I can't imagine what it would be like to transition to such higher expenses.
awick14 That is awesome that you got an update of your patient.
