I was going to go into the office today because we can't work OT from home.
But then I was awake from 1am to 3am, and Fatty woke me up with his meowing at 5:15.
I decided WFH and the ability to nap on my lunch break is more important than a couple hours OT. So I drove to the gym, worked out, and stopped by the office to grab my laptop before heading home.
That's right. I commuted to my own house today. Sheesh.

I went to bed at 8:30 and woke up at 5. NyQuil is a bitch. I don't know if I'm still contagious, but I'm feeling like today is a movies on the couch day.
I tried the pumpkin latte from Dunkin this morning. It's sickly sweet and rather gross. I'm not sure if she just used too much syrup or if this is just how they are. So disappointing.
Give us good-home-inspection-dust. We're doing the house we're buying today. No whammies!
That house is gorgeous! Good luck!
Our inspection is tomorrow and I refuse to get excited about the house until it's done. That hasn't stopped me from mentally laying out furniture, designing a new kitchen, and agonizing over paint colors though.

I've been doing the exact same thing. I'll go on a Pinterest binge or search Craigslist for furniture for an hour then be like STOP IT. IT COULD BE INFESTED WITH MOLD AND POISONOUS GASSES!
I've already seen a texting school bus driver this morning. I call the district and report them every single time. They don't seem to get that we can see them.
I took PTO today just in case anything went wrong with DS on the bus. I will be spending the day on the couch, pinning all the things and watching trashy daytime tv. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
My feet are covered in mosquito bites thanks to too many evenings spent out on the deck with a glass of wine and reading research articles. Socks are torture right now. Blerg. ALL I WANT TO DO IS SCRATCH DAMN IT.

I have chiggers. ((solidarity hugs))
My new favorite thing in the world is the spray hydrocortisone. I managed to get enough on my legs last night that they were basically numb when I went to sleep.
I'm pretty sure I just got a great bonus at work. Its in my account and I have the pay stub, but I don't believe it is actually real. I just keep thinking it has to be some kind of mistake.

I also brined myself with Epsom salts because all my friends swear that swimming in the ocean is the only thing that helps and I did not have a handy ocean in my backyard. I have no idea if it actually helped but they did not actively itch while I was in the tub, so there's that. I got to relax for an hour with a book without scratching.
Should I accept a reduced price room in our company lodging in the conference center I'm going to with their ridiculous rules and no more free alcohol for my 3 night trip this week or stick with the mediocre hotel that I'm currently reserved at with a 15 minute drive to the conference, but free happy hour?
First day of classes (and therapy). So far, my alarm was set for 5pm instead of am, I put my underwear on inside-out and didn't realize until I got to work, I accidentally posted my FB status on someone's gender reveal thread instead of my profile (since it referenced 'gird your loins' it's kind of awkward), and my work laptop suddenly won't cooperate with the university shared network. And that's all before the students can get in the office door. Just looking forward to 2pm when I can decide if I'm going to bawl in front of a complete stranger. And then pull myself together in time for the 4pm pick up routine and the 7pm UPK parent orientation.
I just checked my email from this weekend. There was one that was a request to change copy on something I had no access to for an event that was running.
I expect a shitstorm today because of it. I don't know I would have been able to get my developer to change the copy, but I didn't check email, so I don't know. Ugh.

I find all of their flavored stuff too sweet. I just stick to plain coffee or tea at Dunks.

Clear fingernail polish over the spots. I had them so bad once omg they were horrible. This was the only thing that worked without a prescription.
I've heard rubbing the inside of a banana peel helps too but haven't tried. FloFTW, chiggers are little satan bugs. They're sneaky little turds because you usually don't know they're there until you're covered in bites. In other parts of the country I've heard them referred to as noseeums, as in you can't see the little effers until its too late.

Tiny red bugs that you can't really see that cause huge itchy welts and bite where a person has elastic. Usually they get you when you are in the brush. I haven't had them get me since college, but at that point I had welts the size of a quarter in a line all around me where my bra and underwear had been.
