What is filling your mind today?

What is on your mind today that you just cannot stop thinking about?

Dh's next appt. is next week, and I'm terrified it won't go well and I'll lose my freedom to leave my job with Cadillac health insurance. #wifeoftheyear

[crashgizmo]

Fingers crossed for your DH's appt, @mrschicken

I cannot stop thinking about leaving for our vacation on Saturday morning! I'm so excited and am already packed- DH thinks I'm nuts. I tell him it's part of the excitement.

PAIN. and a mental countdown to my next Percocet.

[raangoli]

I hope the appointment goes well. Hugs to you.

I cannot stop thinking about my miscarriage. I have a hard time saying the word out loud. Everyday I wake up with the goal of not crying, and each day I fail. One day at a time.

[mbcdefg]

I'm sorry to everyone who is worried or hurting *hugs*

I went out and got mostly everything for our Halloween costumes, but I'm a little sickened that I paid $40 for one-time-use-only stuff.

Debilitating work-related anxiety.

So same as any other day.

Sorry to everyone else

You know, Percocet makes me nauseated if I don't take it with food. I find dairy in particular helps. Therefore, I think your H should go get you a toasted marshmallow shake from Good Stuff.

Tell him taco's orders.

Hugs to all.

I'm just ready for H to come home. Alone time isn't as thrilling when I'm home all afternoon by myself.

[crashgizmo]

Big hugs to everyone who is having a tough day.

Consider it done. I suspect most of my orders will be about food. Because, you know, strong opinions.

I'm sorry so many of you are having a tough day. I hope things turn around!

I am feeling really down lately about my job situation. I just finally heard back today about a job I interviewed for a few weeks ago (job #2 in a post I made a month or so ago) and they decided to go with someone else. I'm not entirely surprised, but that hope is dashed. I haven't heard from any other jobs in a while, but I've only applied for a couple since I started my temp job. I think this week I need to focus on applying for more. There are a few others out there that look interesting, but I'm starting to feel like what I want to do is a long shot. I have the education and certification, but I don't have the experience. I think I'm at a weird point in an HR career where I'm not entry level but I'm not at manager level yet either. I've been in the field almost 3 years but I've held 3 different roles at this point and I think it's hurting me.

In the meantime I'm struggling to keep a positive attitude about my current temp job, and I know that's awfully entitled of me. I miss my old job, coworkers, pay, and benefits. I hate that I can't leave early to visit my sister in a few weeks or plan a long weekend for a friend's wedding because it means I don't get paid. I realize I am very fortunate to have had PTO and other benefits in the past and that many, many people have never had what I had in the past, but I feel really shitty to have worked this hard to get the credentials I have and put in my time "starting out" and yet here I am. It's not meant to be forever but at this rate there is no end in sight and it's really discouraging.

The snake that's underneath the upside down bucket outside my front door. And the giant horsefly that's flying around inside my house.

How much I want to march down the hall and smack the partner who won't stop snapping his gum. It's so fucking annoying and you're so fucking loud I can hear it 25+ feet away. All.damn.day.long.

[bostonmichelle]

Hugs to everyone with tough days.

Food is my only thought today. I am ravenously hungry and ate almost all my snacks. I need to save my last one for before I go to my track workout tonight or it won't be pretty.

[sometimesrunner]

Last night we left 5 minutes late for swimming lessons. I came across a cyclist/car accident just as paramedics/the fire department arrived. (which probably takes 5 minutes?) I keep thinking how I could have been involved.

[ladyk]

Why won't someone email/text me back or try to spend time with me when supposedly he cares about me as much as he professes to? We live about 30 minutes from each other and I see him maybe once a month. He knows that I care about him yet he continues to treat me like crap. So I'm on day 4 of the social experiment about waiting for him to reach out. The over/under is Monday next week especially because he's always "busy" on the weekends and he knows I want to do something special with him this coming Friday because of the significance to him of that date. It's his 5 year anniversary of his "alive" day from an IED attack. I asked him if he wanted to celebrate, high volume, low key, home cooked dinner and he chose the dinner. I asked him last friday if he still wanted dinner and if he wanted to chose the meal for me to cook. And all I've gotten from him is crickets.

Le sigh...

My expectations of him are low anyways but it's just frustrating to me that if he's not into me or it or whatever, that he can't use his big boy words and f-ing tell me.

This is where I'm at too. All my food was gone by noon. Guess I shouldn't be surprised after adding up my mileage last week. I can't stop eating though!

Well you have an excuse at least. I have run 12 miles since my half marathon almost a week and a half ago...... No runger here, just hunger.

I would lose my shit.  My condolences for when you murder him with a stapler.

And the more things don't go his way, the louder he gets. So much fun!

Hugs to everybody having a bad day.

I am trying to remember what I changed my email password to for one of my corporate accounts. It had some ridiculous rules on number of characters, upper case, lower case, special characters, etc. I thought I knew what it was but I clearly am wrong and now need to have it reset. I look so smart.

[Deleted]

Hugs to those struggling.

My best friend is being an idiot. He's tried dating this girl 4-5 times now. He's crazy about her, but she keeps breaking up with him. When her life get's rough she turns to him for reassurance that she's wonderful and beautiful. He doesn't see it. I'm minding my own business, but I hate seeing him do this over and over with her.

[delawarejen]

My stepfather is dying. I'm not sure he'll live to see October. He married my mother after I was grown so I don't know him well, and he is 80 so it's not unexpected, but it still stinks.

Also, I'm on the second day of a diet and my stomach is not happy with me, plus I have to use the bathroom eleventy million times a day from all the water I keep drinking to keep the stomach acid at bay.

[belovedbride07]

Hugs to everyone who needs them.

I can't stop thinking about what could go wrong with starting my next IVF cycle next month. Mainly, timing, and I need my nurse to call me back! Secondarily, money; we still need to settle our account from our last frozen cycle. DH NEEDS to sit down and make the bill/EOB comparison tonight so we can take care of it. And I really hope they'll give me a birth control Rx without having paid for the next cycle because I am not mentally prepared to drop that money yet.

I can't stop thinking about how incredibly gorgeous the weather is this week - 70 degrees, the leaves are turning and the views are fabulous. It is just heavenly. My favorite time of the year and always much too short -- I soak up each one of the nice days.

[keweenawlove]

I just got an invitation to give a lecture at my undergraduate alma mater. It'll be good for me to meet with some of a faculty there but I'm most excited about getting a free trip to an area I'll be able to ski in December.

[glynn]

Ugh... Sorry lot of people are dealing with bad things right now. I can't get DD1 out of my mind which makes me feel bad for DD2 who just had surgery this morning. DD2 is fine but cranky so back to DD1 problems.....See other post about talking me down.

[jerseyjaybird]

Lots of hugs to all who need them.

I'm ruminating on the day-long job interview I had yesterday. I'm really not sure what I think about here vs. there. I know I'm one of two candidates.

[explorer2001]

What is the lump in my chest? Seriously lump about 1.5 inches with and about 3.5 inches tall. Right on my sternum. It hurts. It wasn't there 6 weeks ago. MRI didn't show anything. Ultrasound didn't show anything. But its there. You can see it and feel it. The pain specialist confirmed it is weird.

I half hope the idiot surgeon left gauze in my side and its just trying to find a way out. Then at least there would be a reason I'm in pain and there's this thing in my chest. I feel like I'm going to pull an Alien inspired move and something will just pop out if my chest.
