I'm thinking about joining Match again, after I find out if I need to have surgery. I have been waffling (mmmm waffles!) back and forth. While I don't want to put my life on hold for my medical reasons, I don't think it's fair IF I meet someone I have a connection with and I'm all like "sorry dude! I can't hang out with you for 4-6 weeks!"
I have been unhappy at my job lately and I think it's because I don't really have anything outside of going to work.
I feel really badly for one of my good guy friends. He's been with his gf for about 6 months and he's so smitten but she broke things off with him because she isn't ready. Timing is just off. I talked to him last night on the phone and he's really down. I hate that pain and wish I could take it away from him. It doesn't seem quite fair.
I'm only working a half day today because I'm going to a Drs appt with J for his follow up. Got some bad news about my cousin's husband. He's had cancer for a couple of years now and it's back with a vengeance. It's not a common type and the prognosis gets worse as time goes on. They have 2 teenage daughters and my heart just hurts. I saw him about a month ago and he is withering away.

I can’t handle the Ebola stupid on FB today. A co-worker of mine has said that it can be spread as easily as the common cold/flu and there’s no cure for it because people bleed out to their deaths.
My new kitchen table and chairs were delivered yesterday and they are so beautiful. I'm so happy! And it fits perfectly, I was afraid it would be too big.
This weekend is going to be so fun with a bunch of Halloween activities.
I'm not going to see new dude until next week because he has his son until Monday.

I literally cannot remember the last time it wasn't raining when I was driving either to or from work. It's depressing. Hello, Fall. I appreciate your need for hoodies and flavored lattes. I do not appreciate wet leaves, wet roads, and the accompanying idiot drivers.
My son starts back up with his swimming lessons tonight. I hope this helps him get out some extra energy. He's wearing me out!
Bf still hasn't written back to his BEC ex. OHMAHGAAAAH JUST DO IT ALREADY, BRO. Or admit that you aren't going to do it. This anxiety is also wearing me out.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
I was asked very directly this morning if I was "single or married with kids". And when I said "kids, but no longer married--why do you know someone?" she said "No" She just got out of a relationship and wasn't sure how people meet anyone anymore.
Two people last week asked me if my divorce is final yet (no, but soon..thank god).

I love how logical you are in spite of the idiots who are posting.
One of my mom's friends took my Onion article today as truth. She was like, "OMG they need to change the headline because it looks like they're freezing babies!!" Um, yes, that's the point. You're so pretty...

I got my big project at work done. We were supposed to have a meeting to go over it a couple hours ago, but everyone is running behind. I'M READY!!
It's starting to get "cold" here. And by cold, I mean under 80 degrees. TIME FOR LEGGINGS AND BOOTS!!!
I have been majorly slacking on exercising and eat well. I've had fast food almost every night for the past week. I just DO NOT want to eat what is in my house. I'm googling easy recipes that can last for a couple days because I am only cooking for 1.
I'm turning in a big project today as well. YAY! And I have our industry awards dinner tonight so I'm a little dressed up today. yay free food and wine. Although last year apparently they ran out of food. Whomp whomp.

Vegas is coming over tonight for Taco and TV Thursday...we're going to make it a thing...
Except I have a cold sore...he has been warned and notified there will be no kissing...which will be really frigging hard, but I think we can still handle some canoodling without kissing.
BF and I had a really good talk last night. I'm feeling good today. We both have Monday off, so we're going to actually DO something. We spend a lot of time together, but we don't DO stuff very often. I just found a groupon for a local wine tasting/chocolate pairing. Waiting to hear back from him about it.

I got great feedback about a project that I finished this week. I'm happy about that but part of me is thinking, "Say it with a raise." I also spent a large chunk of this morning in a meeting. The subject was interesting but some of the other people in the audience were so dramatic and attention-absorbing that it was tiring. I got asked a lot of questions during the networking downtime that really made me want to go back to bed. I say that just because they weren't substantive questions. (I wasn't hosting the meeting. People sitting around me were just asking me lots of irrelevant things).
I feel like I'm reaching a point in my relationship where I need to do some work on myself and to learn some communications skills. BF hasn't said that or anything, I just feel like I am at that point. It's something that I want to work on and do some reading about. I also do feel like at some point soon, BF and I need to have a chat. We've been pretty breezy about things but I feel like we're coming up on a point where we need to talk about some things or we might end up with bad communication patterns. I feel like we need to "open up" to each other more.

I will be doing my first "facetime" (I think that's what it is called) ever tonight at 6:00 p.m. with a tutor from the writing center at my university. They're apparently going to call me on Hangouts and everything else should runs its course. I hope it works!
I have the hangouts app all set up and ready to go.

Google Hangouts? I use that for work. You'll be fine. FaceTime is only the iPhone face to face calling

HAH!! Oops.
When they call me or whatever they're doing, are they going to be able to see me and vice versa? I have an android.

If you have a PC you can also install google hangouts on it and do a hangout call that's more like Skype. (Just bigger screen and your hands are free. I feel so awkward holding the phone).

I have S tonight and I couldn't snuggle her anymore bc she was pushing away going "No mom momma, no" haha! I missed her so much and it's been a long week. She's in bed now and I'm gonna catch up on AHS.
Not sure if I've mentioned it before, but DD1 had her ears pierced just before starting kindergarten. She had issues with them after the initial 6 week period and we ended up taking them out and they closed up. Got them pierced again last year and they seemed to be doing fine. Until she somehow lost the backing to one, I replaced it, but than it got kicked out of her ear when she and her cousins were fooling around. That was in August.
Two months later and she is refusing to let ANYONE even attempt to take the other earring out. The ear that had the earring kicked out of closed out so we were going to take the other one out, let them close up, and not repierced again until she much, much older and will care for them better.
Anyway, while giving her a bath tonight, I noticed that the back of her ear is very puffy and looks to be growing over the back of her earring. I called the pedi after hours line and need to take her in tomorrow. They'll first determine if it's infected. If so, they'll out her on antibiotics and then once the infection clears, she'll need to see an ENT to have it surgically removed; if it had grown over- which I am fairly certain it has.
Poor thing is so scared and was crying while I was looking at it. She said it doesn't hurt her unless someone messes with it, even if it's just to lift it to take a look at the back. Apparently this happened to me when I was around 6. I have no memory of it so either it was so traumatized I blocked it out or it wasn't at all. Major parent fail and I feel bad that we didn't push more to get it out sooner.
I'm just managing to keep DH off the Ebola "Close the borders!" bandwagon, but it hasn't been easy. He tried to argue that the Americans who were helping in Africa and caught Ebola should have been kept and treated there. I countered that they were Americans, they had the right to come home to be treated. He's becoming paranoid, because (as we all know) if you are even in the same time zone as someone with the virus, you can catch the Ebolas. I keep referring him to the CDC and NIH websites, and they seem to shut him up for the time being. What's funny is that this is the same guy that won't get his flu shot or Hepatitis B series. He says that the flu won't kill him. I don't think he believes me when I tell him that tens of thousands die from the flu every year. Since he doesn't get the flu shot, he gets the flu every year, and while I don't have to deal with a man cold, he's a slow healer. I'm sure that once someone he works with tells him that the flu is a bigger concern than Ebola, he'll believe it. I mean, I'm just his wife, I apparently don't know anything.
