Good morning!
I'm having a hell of a day so far. SWAT team was blocking my way in on a major road this morning.
I started my period and as expected, it's being a dick. It brought a question mark and an exclamation point with it. My period brought all of the punctuation. I huuuuurt. Also I still have a cold so basically I'm just miserable everywhere. Send chocolate and drugs.
"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."
A water main broke at work and there's no running water. We were told to work from home but I don't have the credentials to do what I need so I have to go in. Guess I'll be walking in the rain to use various bathrooms near the office.
I had to read an e-mail three times this morning before I half understood it. And I still had to ask for clarification. My coffee has failed me and my brain.

I have research participants all morning. My first one cancelled and I'm not really sure what to do. Not enough time to go get coffee, and too much time to keep me from getting bored. My research professor is about and I am hiding from her under one of the desks. Woman is getting on my last nerve.

Are you really under a desk? Lol
I was. I'm out now. It's a big one. It's like a cubicle type desk. and the back of it it shared with the front of another desk in the front end of the room. I share it with another research assistant. If I sit in the chair she can just see my head over the cubicle wall. To be fair the chair has crappy back support and I can sit cross legged under the desk without slumping with good back support. So I'm dodging her but also sitting in a comfortable position.
I was laughing because I got a text from a friend at 4am. She wasn't out partying she was up BF her 1 month old. Those were the days. I'm glad I'm past that!
We're moving this weekend and I'm so excited!! It's going to be awesome to have the support of another single mom. Yesterday I picked up her little guy because she had a meeting, she's watching P on Friday when I have a client meeting. I truly advocate for other single moms to consider a similar situation!
I've been in a funk lately. I got a horrible nights sleep and that's not helping. My good news is I was asked to babysit on Friday and I hope it sticks. She didn't need me for two weeks and it's been hard without that income. Also got an email from another family needing someone the days I am free. Score! So hopefully this will all relieve some stress for me.
Tonight I'm going to make Mojitos and watch Mad Men. Haha. No gym for me tonight.
hugs to all who need them today, seems like everybody's got some sort of funkiness going on.
my dog's health hasn't been great and it's hard to watch her not feeling her best. we went back to the vet yesterday and are waiting on some tests but in the meantime, it sucks to know she doesn't feel well.
I stayed up way too late last night - 12:30! We were watching American Horror Story and then just goofing around and all of a sudden it was super late. But life has been so busy lately that it was nice to have some time to just hang out, even if it meant less sleep. Now I want a nap.
I have to clean my house tonight since my parents are coming to visit (and stay with me) tomorrow night. BF has a huge test tomorrow so I'm going to insist on doing it myself so he can study, but I HATE cleaning on a weeknight. It's the worst thing about weekend guests - you can't really clean the weekend before, because it will just get dirty again, but cleaning the night before is a huge PITA. At least when my parents come it's a good kick in the butt to do some of the deep cleaning stuff I normally skip. I swear my bathtub would never get a good scrub if I didn't ever have houseguests.
Long ass day for me, all good, but long! I hope the light I see at the end of the proverbial tunnel is another work project coming to run my butt over.
I went for a nice long walk this morning with the dog instead of coming into work and making my work day even longer. Score.

Someone please shoot me. I'm in Jaipur for Diwali and instead of being out in town enjoying the lights I'm stuck in my hotel room wanting to die. My allergy attack is slowly morphing into either an upper respiratory infection or bronchitis (fuck you New Delhi and your chunky style air) and I've got a uti that hurts like a bitch. On the upside my sprained wrist is getting better and Jaipur is an awesome city and tomorrow I am going to try to visit the Monkey Temple
Headed to work from home because there's still no water at work. The devs have to help me set up a VPN at home because I have no idea how it even works. Took a call from one of them whose communication style is much different from my own so that was interesting.

Ok, so I am going to "get" to meet Prince Charles. I could not care less about the guy except that he sort of pays my salary. We are all expected to come and they are announcing all this protocol and shit that I am not even interested about.
I don't even know what to wear and I have to admit that I do not have a single dress that I find appropriate and I refuse to buy something that Im not sure when I would be able to wear it again.
I'm back at work after being out sick for the past two days, and my to-do list is about a foot long. AND my printers still won't work, so I'm running back and forth borrowing someone else's computer to print things. It's going to be a long day! Also, I spent the past TWO DAYS watching planner videos on Youtube. I don't even know why they are a thing, they're SO boring, but I couldn't stop. And now I really want an Erin Condren Life Planner. Now I just need a life to plan and an extra $100.

I had a UTI earlier this week. I found a tip to reduce the burning, 1/2 tsp of baking soda in a glass of water. It worked within 20 minutes or so, I was shocked and pleased.
If I could find baking soda I will try it! I've just been popping Tylenol 3 like its candy and drinking a ton of water. The chemist gave me a z-pack so hopefully that will do the trick. Being sick in a foreign country is a total PITA! All my normal home remedies aren't readily available but at least here I can get all sorts of drugs without going to a doctor.
I do have alka seltzer with me and it does have sodium bicarbonate in it; I'll take it and see if it works on the burning
I got a new role at work and I'm really excited. I'll still be doing my regular PR stuff, but now I'll be the office lead for RFP development and new business resources (case studies, bios, etc) for 1/3 of my job. I'm so excited! I really enjoy working on this type of stuff and it will give me some great visibility. Our general manager also gave me a $50 gift certificate for a great job on a project I recently led. I wasn't entirely sure she even knew my name so this is really huge for me! And I have a big presentation today. I feel like I'm sort of kickin' ass at this career thing.

Sitting in my hotel room watching all of the fireworks go off next door. Its the first night of Diwali and the city is a riot of color, lights and noise.
I ate 2 donuts this morning b/c it is someone's birthday. This office is making me fat. Every day there is some kind of junk food and that type of stuff is hard for me to resist! I keep trying to start the whole30 but it's not happening!!
I'm seeing Guy #1 tonight and I can't wait!! I think I'm going to ditch Guy #2. We'll see. Depends on how things go tonight I guess.

Tell him to bring Prince Harry! Then at least you would have something to look at. He's tasty.

Second Indian!!! Prince Hot Ginge does many, many things for me. Meeee-yow.
I'm "that guy" at work today. I'm sick and coughing constantly. The other admin already told me to go home. But I was out Monday and yesterday. I don't plan on staying for the full day. I feel like balls. I'm hoping my boss tells me to scram.
