Happy Tuesday! Randoms

[Deleted]

I am having a really rough week. I am really upset about my job changes this year and there have been so many reminders lately of what I had before and lost lately. This week's gripe is that I have to take 2 days off without pay, when at my last job I would have had both as paid holidays and always had plenty of PTO anyway. I waver between feeling like that's a FWP and just being straight up pissed/sad. I know many people are worse off, I just never though I'd be moving backwards like this.

I'm also feeling super fat and ended up eating 2 lunches and a bag of microwave popcorn today I should have planned better and brought a more filling first lunch, and my second lunch was healthy so I thought it would take the place of an afternoon snack and tide me over until dinner. IDK why I always just shove food in my mouth when I already feel disgusted by my weight. I think the job stress, holiday stress, and just feeling like a big fat failure in general is just wearing me down.

inara, I am sorry for your loss. Grandpas are the best!

I am home from work and ready for evening of baking #2, H says he will be home for burgers on the grill and a cold beer at 6:30 pm. I am not holding my breath waiting or waiting till 6:30 for a cold beer. Cocktails start in 4, 3, 2, 1....

I only have one more paper to write and it only has to be 5 pages long. Once that's complete, I am DONE for the semester AND if all goes as planned, I grad in MAY!!!! WOOTT!!!!!

I'm taking a bereavement day today. My grandpa passed away yesterday. I knew it was coming, he had cancer and outlived his prognosis. But it's still really hard. Thursday night he was at a dinner party. Friday night he was in the hospital unresponsive. The doctors told us that he would have a bad turn and that would be it, but I guess I thought it would be slower and we'd see it coming. Instead, he was his normal self until he wasn't.

:::HUGS::: 
So sorry for your loss.

I have to go to the DMV today...ugh.  I will also hit up trader joes and regular grocery store and do my thanksgiving grocery shopping.  I'm making some sides and desserts to bring to mom's.

Did you read the Trader Joes thread on ML?

Nope...I rarely lurk there....guess I should now.....

So sorry inara. Try to look at it as a blessing for him to have been living as normal as possible until he passed.  Suffering is no good.  Now he will be your angel.  Hugs.

This is exactly how my grandfather was. I am so sorry for your loss. My grandfather actually passed away five years ago today, and my grandmother passed away two years ago today. (They died on the same day, three years apart). I only ever had one set of grandparents and my sister and I were very close to them. Take some time for yourself.  *hugs*

We put an offer on a house last night. We totally expect they'll counter and that's fine, but the wait is KILLING MEEEEEEEEEE!! OMG-it's totally like waiting to see if a guy you really like will text you back on an offer to go out or something. Though part of me is like "welp, onto the next one just in case!"

I'm also really nervous that if we DO get it, the roof is old to the point where it will be a deal breaker if they don't replace/repair it if something comes back on inspection.

Que sera sera...

I'm also dreading Costco/TJs/Grocery stores today as I have to pick up my TDay ingredients (ALLLL the ingredients!)

When I'm off and do things during the day, I often wonder...do people work??? Because shit is crowded and there's traffic....during the day on a weekday.  
I accomplished all of my thanksgiving food shopping and picked up some new frying pans at home goods.  I also finally straightened out my name change with the DMV.  They changed my name on my license 2 years ago and then issued my registration and car title in my old married name.  So now I'm finally free of that!  Yay!

I feel like shit today. I'm a little hungover bc I stopped at the bar for dinner last night and my one friend was there and he and I caught up and kept buying each other rounds of shots. Ugh. I had to pick up S today and it's just been a tough day. I'm really on edge and my meds aren't helping

Sorry for your loss inara

I stopped at the Commissary on base when I went to pick DH up from work. It's not usually open on Tuesdays, but I guess since it's going to be closed Thursday and Friday, they gave us an extra day. I was expecting it to be crazy, since it's a couple of days before TG, but since it was open on an unusual day, there weren't many people there. I wish I had thought to do my final shopping list before heading out there, rather than hoping I could remember what I needed, because tomorrow when I go shopping, I'm sure it's going to be nuts!

Had another date with Blind Date Guy (BDG) and he's special. Kiss was explosive and things are looking really promising.
