I took a bunch of units this summer to move myself up the pay scale, turned in all my paperwork, and went in to the district office TWICE to make sure they had everything they needed from me.
Got my paycheck yesterday and I'm still at the step I was on last year, so I get to go HR again to see why they haven't processed my transcripts. It would be lovely to simply email, but they literally never respond to anything but face to face.

My charity ride is the 10th. We still haven't gotten the custom jerseys I ordered. I emailed the company but am waiting to hear back. I know it is petty, but it was really important to me to have those to wear.

My knee is achy. I'm pretty sure it's due to tight quads. It's happened before. Blerg. The good news is this gives me a reason to book a massage for next week.

Oh, where do I begin? I barely slept last night because it seems that I scratched my eye. It was hurting, but I wasn't sure if something was in there, so I kept getting out of bed to try to rinse it. But if I had just left it alone, it might have been fine today.
I have zero ability to operate a microwave, so my oatmeal boiled over, as it does every day.
And I left my wallet at home, so I couldn't buy breakfast.
I am about to leave work...to go to the dentist.
So, I am extra whiny today. It can only get better, right?
I'm losing sleep stressing over this IVF cycle. Not the cycle itself, but I'm traveling out to WA for it. I'm going alone at first (H will come a week after me), traveling somewhere I'm not familiar and hanging out in a hotel for 3 weeks (with my dogs!) and trying to plan for all that, AND I leave in less than a week.
I really am looking forward to it all, but the anticipation is killing me. I'm just ready to leave already.

Sounds like our hr. They all leave at 4. You have to drive downtown to get there, can't leave school until 3:30, and no one answers the phone or responds to emails. It's awesome!

For some reason I thought you'd done your IVF travels in Ohio right after the marathon. Can't believe you have to be in a hotel for 3 WEEKS. Is that normal?
Good luck with everything. Hope the doggies do ok for you too!
I almost died on my treadmill this morning. Or at least it felt like it.
This is now the 3rd month of pipeline construction in front of our house with trucks and backhoes everywhere, and it was really windy so I decided to step on the treadmill. First time since the spring. I did 800 repeats at about 5K pace after warming up. I wanted to do at least 5, but after 4 I couldn't hack it. I finished with 2 more 400's -- which felt a tiny bit more manageable. 5K pace feels SO scary fast on the treadmill. I'm Hoping maybe this is just a by-product of long days and late nights at work. But oy.

Nope I just spent 2 weeks in Ohio with my family leading up to the race
Since I'm traveling out of state, the 3 week thing isn't normal if I were doing it within driving distance of my home. But I will have every other day monitoring leading up to all the big stuff so, I need to be out at the clinic for all of that. It could be a tad shorter than 3 weeks, but it will just depend on how I end up responding to the meds. I'm prepared to stay til the end of Oct though just in case.
You know, my dogs are used to long road trips and hotel stays since we move often with the military (and we travel a few hours away for a fun dog race once a year too that involves a hotel stay). 3 weeks will be the longest we've done that, but they really do quite well. I plan on sending them to doggie daycare so they'll get lots of exercise/mental stimulation to take the place of the running we won't be doing!
Oh heck no @vtcupcake! I would be hanging out as far from her as you can today (while still working of course). No way you want to catch whatever death/sickness has killed her common sense.

I can't find an ART chiropractor that my issuance covers I've been paying OOP for one but they're half an hour away and raising their rates. I'm hoping a sports massage today will help get things moving.

Ugh I hate that. I never found one covered either. Paid oop for soooo long. Hope you find someone soon!

G22 good luck and hugs!!! At least you will have the pups with you until DH can come out.
@vtcupcake, can you slip her some nyquil and drag her into a closet?
Its raining again today! It rained last night at my track workout and it is a gross, cold rain that makes my body cold all night. I really need to move to a warmer climate.
I feel like an ass for being irritated that the costume contest for my ride this weekend is no longer a costume contest but a "most inspiring rider" contest. WTF? I totally have a cute outfit to wear, and I'm still wearing it, but geez, thanks for letting us know 4 days before the ride. (I got a new sugar skull jersey and a rainbow light up tutu)
Also - I haven't run in months and I have nothing I'm training for right now. Until yesterday when I signed up for San Francisco Rock and Roll. I'm excited yet terrified to start training.

Thanks! I know it might stress some out to have their dogs in a hotel with them, but I'm happy they'll be with me. I dislike staying in hotels alone. I get lonely. lol
The hiring manager told me last week that they hoped to have a decision by the end of last week. Last week is over, no news. I called today to follow up and got his voicemail. He hasn't returned my call. Just tell me if I got the job or not!
Annnnd now I feel like a BUM after reading that thom did 800 repeats on the mill.
Also...(here I go), October sucks. I hate it. It has too many bad memories/events. I'm already pissy. I don't know if I've got it in me to do 11 more weeks of marathon training, so I don't know how I'm going to BQ, or if I ever will. I don't know why I care so much. My middle daughter ran across the street at school today RIGHT IN FRONT OF A CAR because she didn't look before crossing, so she almost died right in front of me. She's 10 years old. My job this week SUCKS, I haven't had a single positive interaction with a student this week and it's Wednesday. I'm trying the ol' be grateful, but today needs to be OVER.
