Wonderful: It's Wednesday and that much closer to the weekend! I woke up happy and healthy and for that I am grateful.
WTF: My anxiety has been through the roof lately and I can't pinpoint why. I've also been having dreams about exh and his family so I feel like that has something to do with it, but again, don't know why they've been on my mind lately.

Wonderful: my new bike trainer came yesterday. Wheee!
WTF: I ordered 2 things for my Halloween costume for this party on Saturday. The shirt was more of a child size small, not a ladies. And the tutu was a completely different color than what was in the picture. Le sigh.

Wonderful: It's Wednesday so I'm teaching my Tai Chi for patients with Multiple Sclerosis class. I love this group. They inspire me every day.
WTF: The cost of pumpkins! We went on a date this weekend and stopped at a pumpkin patch to purchase two pumpkins to carve this coming weekend. I got one medium one for $5 and he bought a huge one for $15. I wasn't paying, but still. Expensive pumpkins.
Wonderful-we're moving this weekend; it's chaotic but exciting! It'll be so nice to live with my friend and so we can support one another.
Wonderful-things are looking up at work. Another advisor in the office and I are going to pair on some large accounts!
Wonderful-I'm still loving my nutrition program and am so glad I started! My friend is going to start tomorrow and I'm excited to help her get to her goal weight! This is such a good side business for me because it's my passion in my personal time and it's what I went to school for!
WTF-I need my lawyer to get back to me about filing in my previous county. I'm trying not to push him because he's doing the work for free but XH is scheduled to have his next visit on Veteran's Day
WTF-my aunt is so much to take sometimes. I know that not everyone's problems are the same but the things she complains about and gets derailed over just seem trivial sometimes.
Wonderful: I got my son a Monopoly game and we played it all night last night. It was really fun, I haven't played in like 25 years. He loved it and wants to play again tonight. It's nice to find new things we can do together as I feel like I am always competing with his iPad! Plus he's learning about giving change, money, etc
WTF: WTF co-worker? What are you wearing? You look like you are going to a nightclub. Not appropriate, and given you got sent home last week for what you were wearing you'd think you'd clean it up (she came to a professional office wearing a spaghetti strap tank top). You're old enough to know better.

Wonderful: My professor actually sent me three fairly positive emails yesterday! I'll take it! We won our kickball game last night, against a team that didn't really know the rules, so we were helping them out. They told us that we are their favorite team to play against. Awww.
WTF: I keep having this recurring nightmare where the setting/scene is creepy in itself and my boss (who knows I am an animal lover), keeps tasking me to go to this random dresser to check on the effectiveness of the peat-moss for this deceased cat that was shoved into an urn with peat-moss. He wanted me to do it daily, three times a day. The second day, I didn't want to do it, so I asked a random lady walking her dog to do it for me. So weird.
Wonderful: My dinner (pulled pork sliders) is cooking in my crock pot at home. I have no plans at all this weekend.
WTF: got invited to a house warming party tomorrow night and BAM today I get an you must attend this 7 pm webinar for work email tomorrow night. Crap, I wanna party, but I want to be a part of this cool 5 year project. Decisions, Decisions.

I don't have a lot to say today but my mind is full. J is insane and I really am disgusted by his behavior.
I had a great convo with RR last night and my aunt and uncle will be taking S for the evening on Saturday to a kid's Halloween party so RR and I could go out. He asked me on a roadtrip/getaway to Niagra Falls for NYE and I'm quite excited. I'm liking him more and more every time we see each other.

Wonderful: we're less understaffed than we have been all this week and while I'm still swamped I don't feel like I'm drowning. It is making the day SO much less stressful. Plus I'm going to have a doughnut for breakfast
WTF: My shoulder is acting up and I suppose I should call in that physical therapy referral. But damn body, quit making me feel like an old person!
Wonderful: I am really excited to see my parents this weekend. They are coming for a visit and I feel like I've barely talked to them lately (especially my dad), so I can't wait to just hang out and spend some time together.
WTF: I think I made a terrible wardrobe mistake today. I am wearing a long cardigan, my new Matty M leggings, and ballet flats. I am pretty sure my leggings are NOT flattering and show off my fat pretty nicely. I should have worn boots and I'm not sure how I feel about leggings with this top, period. It does cover my butt, but shows too much thigh for me to feel comfortable with how tight they are. Damn I need to lose some weight
Wonderful-I went to spin class this morning even though I didn't sleep great. I'm glad I went. Even though it's raining and I can't go on my usual walk at lunch time I am reading a really good book so I have an excuse to stay inside and read.
WTF-I haven't slept through the night in such a long time. When I am stressed I don't sleep, it's taking a toll on me. My boss, just in general, a lot of things about him. I'm still feeling so sad about my break up.

Wonderful: I am going to get a promotion and it has already been confirmed by our Regional Director.
Wonderful: I had my mid-year performance review and it went great. It could not have gone any better except for my WTF below.
WTF: Because the base salaries for new employees changed, that promotion would only represent a 10% increase for me. I feel like an ungrateful bitch but that really pissed me off.

Wonderful: I bought 2 VIP tickets to a Luke Bryan concert in February. The seats are kick-ass AND we get to go to a 2-song acoustic set performed by Luke before the show.
Wonderful: I can’t wait to surprise my BFF with the tickets and VIP details. She does so much for other people and she so deserves a night out to enjoy herself!
Wonderful: The weather looks gorgeous this weekend and we don’t have any plans. Looking forward to some family time!
WTF self: You don’t need a new camera. Stop researching them!!!
Wonderful --I found a website theme that works for a client's page that I've been working on for weeks. This makes me so happy right now! --my SodaStream came last night and I have seltzer!!! --I remembered my lunch today
WTF --why does time go by so fast at work? How it is already almost 12?!?!

Wonderful - Excellent free lunch today, even the whiner was happy! - Yesterday was DD's birthday, all three kids got dvd's. DS#1 looked DD square in the face and said "Let's watch your movie." DD and I both said "Awww!" because he's rarely like that.

Wonderful -my relationship is still awesome. I'm less stressed about money. I'm planning an awesome birthday for my fella. We have a fun gtg this weekend where I get to meet more amazing women. Wtf: I'm getting a cold and navigating my nose ring is tricky. Also my period is taking forever to show up and I know it's going to attack me suddenly and piss me off.
"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."
Wonderful - I had a great dinner with an awesome person last night and it really made me feel better about my current situation at work.
Wonderful - I have been researching jobs and I am actually excited at the possibilities for me. I hope I can find something that gives me what I am looking for. Work/life balance, room to grow, something to care about
Wonderful - I am so excited for my weekend. Hanging out with Vegas Friday night, then we will be meeting up with mp at a pug Halloween event. I will have to resist adopting another dog, because I know I will want to!
WTF - My office smells like bacon. This isn't terrible, except that the bacon is not in my mouth
WTF - My boobs look weird in my bra/dress today. I don't know what is going on, but I don't like it, I keep tugging my sweater over them to hide it, lol.

wonderful - giants up 1-0 on the WS and its weds ... that much closer to the weekend !
wtf - dd is having one of those days in which she's channeling her dad; being totally uncooperative, refusing to do the simplest of tasks, whining about EVERYTHING, pouting about EVERYTHING then having the nerve to tell me to lower my voice bc I have the nerve to reprimand her for making us late to school bc she WOULDN'T do the simple thing I asked her to do (get dressed) and was hysterical about me telling her she couldn't wear her Giants shirt 2 days in a row to school.
jigsy but... your apt probably allows two. #justsayin
WTF - I locked my keys in my house this morning and had to walk to work. I am an idiot. A sweaty idiot.
I know it does...especially since technically I have none right now
But it's already hard enough finding people to watch one...adding another seems like ti would be more difficult.
And I kind of want a puppy. I know, I know, older dogs have their merits, and perhaps with Jiggles being 8, a 3-4 year old dog would be better...
Basically...When the right dog comes along, I'll consider it, but seeing puppies makes me want to make rash decisions, lol. I just fucking love puppies. (I use the term puppies loosely as I call any dog that is small-ish, a puppy)
riverpestie, probably, if I lock myself in a room at the housewarming and ignore everyone. Otherwise, logistically the party is on the other side of my city, (aka 40 mintues away) from my work or home.

Wonderful - Some of the people I work with are amazing.
Wonderful - Largely looking forward to a great weekend.
WTF - Not looking forward to the inconvenience of having my car repaired, but I am happy that things have come together on that front. (It has just been a really slow process).
WTF - A couple of people in the office are kind of annoying. At least I don't have any direct need to deal with them.

Wonderful - I'm still loving working with my trainer. He has started focusing more on heavy weights for me with less reps. I maxed out with the deadlift/squat (I don't know the technical terms) at 135 pounds and did 4 chest presses with 30 pounds in each hand. He also burned out my triceps on the cable machine at the end.
WTF - I probably won't be able to move my arms for the rest of the week.

Theresa was so sweet! She's also really tiny and cussed a lot more than I see on the show..lol! Larry walked around the area giving hugs and taking pictures, he's also tiny in person too. She read for 2 hours and walked around the entire time. She said that due to how many people were there that a lot was getting jumbled up bc the spirits were all trying to be heard. So that if she said something to one person that rang true with you, to take it as a message from your loved one. (that kinda made me side-eye her but it ended up happening to me so I let it slide..lol)
She read a woman's son and gave such details about what he was buried in and things the mom does now to honor him. She channeled another woman's cat too, which caused some people to get rude but Theresa was great about ignoring hecklers. She read a couple of people who had loved ones who were murdered. She refused to let them talk about specifics of what happened because she said she doesn't want to get involved in any police business but told them that they were correct in their assumptions about what happened and why.
She actually didn't want anyone she read to tell her how/why they died, she said that her readings aren't about that but instead are about them getting the message from their loved ones that they are ok and still with them. It was so odd but people ended up being seated next to each other who had lost similar family members and/are people who died in similar ways. It was really weird and she said it happens all the time and that it works out that way for a reason. There were 4,000 in attendance so I don't think it was something that the organizers could have arranged either. She said a few things that reminded me of my Dad, which is why I went. I had his watch in my purse and she specifically said something about that, it gave me goosebumps. It was such an incredible experience, I highly recommend seeing her if you can!

omg cam13 thank you so much! none of my real life friends appreciate my love for teresa, lol. i'm so glad that you got a message, even if it wasn't necessarily directed right at you, the fact that you felt something is what really matters. especially in a room with 4000 people! i'm sorry about your dad and hope that by seeing teresa you got what you were looking for or feel a little bit better
WTF: I'm sick. I had to take the day off. Which sucks because I had Monday off as a vacation day. Not good. But there was no way I could go in. I'm so congested and coughing all over the place. I'm taking a bus to LA with my soccer group this weekend so this better pass quickly.
Wonderful-ish: I pushed through my anxiety and talked to BF about the texts. He assured me I have nothing to worry about, which I believe. But I told him I didn't like it and he understood. I also apologized for looking at his phone. He didn't say much during the convo. I think he's still getting used to/figuring out how to respond to rational discussions about stuff like this. His ex was a super jealous, accusatory-type. Once, she got in his car and there was a plastic water bottle on the passenger side floor; she picked it up and screamed "Whose water bottle is this?!?" Seriously.
