Next month is the end of our fiscal year, aka "get all the ugly cases done that we've been putting off all year." so work is kind of rough right now, even though my branch is making our goals and doing really well - its still rough, lol.
so my boss brought in bagels from this really awesome place this morning as a way to "soothe" us (or bribe us, however you want to look at it, lol). He also brings in doughnuts for us on Sat AMs if we work OT.
He's kind of a micromanager and can be overly involved at times (as in, he likes to come by and chat about his road trip over the weekend for an hour), but man I love him. LOL. Those bagels have made my morning.
Stomach bug or food poisoning (not sure what it is) hit DH Tues overnight and me yesterday morning. DH is mild but it hit me hard and it sucks. Guess I am going to be friends with Netflix for a while today
My work provides bagels every Friday AM and it's really amazing how much warmer and fuzzier I feel toward my employer on those days.
I wish today was Friday.
I'm visiting my sister this weekend without MH because when I tried to plan a weekend to visit her he got all bitchy about how I "always plan away our entire summer!"
I mean - I'm sorry I make plans with our friends to go places and do things? I'll stop now? And then we can wake up Saturday mornings and just stare at each other saying, "I dunno, what do you want to do?" until the weekend is over. That sounds FUN.
So I told him he could have a weekend to do whatever he saw fit and I'd just go without him. He was planning to spend the weekend farting around on the boat with his friends - but HAHAHAHAH two of them are out of town and it's supposed to rain. I'm...not sad for him.
I have the day to myself today. On my agenda: go to the gym, pick up some laundry detergent at Costco, come home and do some laundry, then maybe take myself to lunch and get a manicure. BLISS UTTER BLISS.
We're in the midst of a thunderstorm and I love it because its during the day. For some reason, I find them to be peaceful and calming during daylight hours, but as soon as the sun is supposed to set they immediately switch to menacing and stressful.

I live next door to a small university (> 3,000 students). It's move-in day today.
Our street has pretty much been reduced to one-lane, because someone brought an *RV* to move in. It's double-parked on the street because the university can't figure out where to tell them to park it.

I HATE MOVE IN DAY!
Oh jeebus, it's today here too. Must.not.kill.college.students.and.parents.

My university would have told them to park it off campus. They were insane about parking.
We promised DS if he had good behavior this week at daycare we'd take him to a screen on the green tomorrow night. They are doing a Frozen sing along. He has talking about it all week and got good reports everyday. We checked the weather this morning and it is supposed to thunderstorm. He is going to be pissed.

I just spent a few days with my family, and my sister has a cold. I'm pretty sure that I brought it home. I just ate 2 apple cider doughnuts, and I'm drinking a big glass of fresh apple cider. I don't care if it helps. It's delicious.
I've come to the conclusion, after nearly 2 years of working my ass off to lose weight, that I am just ready to accept the fact that while I am overweight, I am fit and healthy (low BP, low cholesterol, active, eating lots of fruits and veggies, exercising nearly every day) and I'd rather be a little fat and happy than skinny and miserable.

There is nowhere to park it off-campus, either. The neighborhoods have 1-hour parking limits unless you have a permit (to avoid train commuters using their streets as parking lots), and then there's a private K-12 school on the other side of the university.
I went to Korea's War Museum today. In the exhibit section that covers modern day North Korean shenanigans they have a virtual rifle shooting simulator.
Same recipe is on a number of blogs. So I'm making them tonight. I've been using MFP to track my calories, so I plugged the recipe in there so I can log when I eat a tester tomorrow - and they're only 105 calories per cupcake. (assuming it makes 12 like the recipe says) If these things are tasty I might have a new favorite food.
I think I messed up our finances somehow over the last few months. With all the movement of money for the downpayment, fence, etc, I think I either double counted something or missed deduction. The result is about $5k that I think should be in my savings that isn't. Not looking forward to reconciling that. I further confused things by making a CC payment mid-cycle because the balance was getting too high for my liking/credit score and now I'm all thrown off because I don't know the amount that is going to be auto-deducted tomorrow. And yes, I could wait until tomorrow to figure it out, but since I now know that I'm off, I want to figure out the cause now.
My BIL and SIL have decided to move to MI for BIL's job. SIL is very unhappy about this, she's always lived close to her family, and is scared to move away from all their family and friends, which is understandable. What I don't understand was why she didn't bring up her feelings about the move when this was first being discussed between her and BIL. I love her/them, but this just reeks of poor decision making. They are going to move to "try it out for a year"', they are moving next month, which means their first couple months there are going to be in the dead of winter, not exactly MIchigan's best time of year. She is going to be miserable, and they will inevitably move back. I don't know how they don't realize that is what is going to happen. It's frustrating to me to keep my mouth shut when I know how it's going to play out.
