Tuesday Randoms: The Super Duper Early Edition

[abcdefu]

Good Morning!

I am up sooo early getting paperwork ready for my doctor appointment. I am hoping and praying that this doctor is the answer. If not, back to the neurosurgeon to have my spinal cord detethered. This is all so emotionally and physically draining.

Oh and something to make you laugh: I didn't realize my roommate set the auto-timer on the coffee pot and I poured water in it. YUP FUCKING WATER ALL OVER MY KITCHEN!! I always try to be quiet in the morning when I'm up super early because I don't want to wake my roommate up, but every time something happens and its always loud! At least she finds it amusing! hahaha

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

Good morning!

I hope you find some answers and relief today, abcdefu.

We are trying again tonight to go to the Festival of Lights so this rain better beat it.

I found out yesterday that my car is totally kaput. I mean, I kinda figured since they've had it for a month but once they wanted to put in a new engine, which would cost way more than the car is actually worth, it solidified it. So...ugh. Now I have to find another car I suppose. . I hate car buying. Most stressful experience ever.

[jenstar]

Good luck abcdefu, hope you get some answers.

Starting early means it is still Tuesday here so I can play for a change. Not that there's much going on.. I'm streaming Christmas radio and wrapping presents - I love wrapping! Tomorrow I'll do some baking with DS and post some gifts and cards. Starting to feel Christmassy

[dreamcrisp1]

Good luck! abcdefu I hope it all goes well!

I'm on the bus heading to work. I'm so tired. At least I'm off tomorrow. My pants are so tight ah! I need to lose weight. No chance between montreal, christmas, and nye! Gonna gain. I'm gonna try to workout tons to counteract it. I hope!

Is it nap time yet?

[cuddlyevil]

Good luck abcdefu.

Sorry lyssbobiss, Command, B613.

Kids are all up, my stomach is all acidy and I will be stuck in a two hour training session this morning. Perfect.

[mcc]

Good morning! I hope the dr appt goes well abcdefu

Last night my mom called that g-ma's breathing was bad and to prepare. Going into work early with decorations for the holiday party that I likely won't make it to. I just want to see my mom as soon as I can.

The new woman at work was very sweet and asked if I need help with any of the party stuff. I really don't--food is ordered, wine is coming today, beer will be done tomorrow, ice is set, decor, etc. but it made me so happy she asked. I will ask her to take pics and send them to me so I can thank our small business suppliers and be festive on social media while I'm away.

[Eureka1984]

Good luck and I hope you get the answers you need @abcedfu

It was so super foggy on my way to work today that I actually showed up five minutes late, it's nbd but I'm set in my routine that I'm feeling off today. At least I only have 3 more days then I'm off for two weeks!

[onedayatatime]

Good luck abcdefu - hope the doctors appt goes well.

Hugs mcc.

Last week I tried to sign up to play french horn for a community orchestra and the conductor told me I would have to audition this week if I want to play in the spring. Today is the day and I'm very nervous - I have been practicing all week but I haven't played in front of anyone else for 12 years. This could be a spectacular and epic fail.

[Emerald1486]

Good luck abcdefu.
That sucks lyssbobiss, Command, B613

[mcc]

Good luck onedayatatime!

[sweetchix]

Fingers crossed for you today abcdefu!

Both DDs are out sick today. DD2's temp is close enough to normal that I didn't give her any meds. Hopefully she stays that way so she can go back to school tomorrow. DD1's temp was 103 so she'll be off today and tomorrow. I told her she has to take a nap while she's at my mom's today. I guess the good thing about this is that it happened this week and not next week for Christmas.

[LoveBug]

Happy Tuesday ladies! We are heading to a doctors appt for DD soon to have her tubes checked (just a check up). And I'd like to get the rest of my Christmas shopping done. I can't believe Christmas Eve is a week from tomorrow. I may see that guy I'm dating later tonight. We shall see.

It's super foggy here and is supposed to rain later. Blah. So tired of the cold dreary days already!

[achase123]

Hugs mcc

I went to a bday party for one of my friends last night and took P. He was tired so he ended up being horrible and we had to leave. He's been really naughty lately. He has been telling me he just wants to live with his dad and it breaks my heart.

I had to talk to xh yesterday. He asked what Ps shoe size is. I wondered why he wanted to know. He wants to buy him s snowboard and snow boots. I said "uhhhh you should just rent, he's 5". Plus he already bought him an atv for xmas. I may have gotten through to him but I'm not sure. I hate that he tries to buy his love and at 5 it seems to be working.

[glitzyglow]

I got up early solely so I could make French toast for breakfast. I have eggs and bread that need used up!

I bought new handles for my dresser and they came in last night! I can't wait to come home and put them on the dresser.

After work I need to go out and get more Christmas gifts. I kind of hate Christmas shopping this year, which is sad because normally I love it. It sucks to find gifts on my budget and it makes me feel bad that I can't afford better gifts for people at almost 30 years old.

[calle28]

Hugs to mcc and abcdefu.

Lyssbob - Good luck with buying a car, it really is the worst. Do you have a car in mind?

achase - Sorry P is acting up lately. Part of it is probably just the holidays and all the extra sweets and stuff. He loves you, but my feelings would probably be hurt too.

I'm in the metro, heading to work. It's freezing here! Last night I took my best friend out to eat for her birthday. She picked In N Out. Lol.

I need to do laundry today, but if it's raining, that's not going to happen.

[peppermint]

hugs to everyone who needs them today. thinking of all you SO ladies.

nothing new to report here, but thursday may be the day i have a breakthrough with WFG. i watched love actually this weekend and have decided to be bold. it's the christmas season, there's no better time

Very good point! He's a kid that doesn't do well with sugar at all.

[seabitch]

Go bold or go home peppermint!

I only have one more meeting today! Woot Woot!

[idahome]

Good luck abcdefu.

So sorry mcc. Sending peaceful thoughts your way.

I'm super distracted at work today. I have a lot of things that I need to wrap up and I'm having the worst time concentrating on any one project. I'm hoping to regroup after lunch and have a plan of attack because I do not want to spend my week off trying to get done the work I should finish this week.

Bowling league tonight. Looking forward to socializing for a few hours.

Even though it's December I'm wearing cropped pants. It's going to be in the mid-40s and I'm already over all my cold weather clothing. Oops!

[Wanderista]

I'm just working today. I might catch up on some reading at some point. Also, after work, I will be meeting a friend who I haven't seen much of lately. We have both been busy. Anyway, it should be fun. We will meet for pho and catch up.

Spoken like a true Midwesterner! I wore short sleeves to walk the dog yesterday, and saw people running in tank tops and shorts. It was 45 degrees outside.

Do it, do it, do it!

[becwheat]

We got a family pass to the local community center! I can swim laps, DH can lift and DD can play on the indoor playground or in the kids pool. I am excited to get back into shape for real. I have the time, support and resources so no excuses!

[jigsy]

Last night my dad was admitted to the ICU because they found two large blood clots in his lungs. I'm trying to not think about it since I can't do anything, but dammit, it sucks. Plus, he was supposed to start chemo last Friday, but according to my mom (who is falling apart so not a completely reliable source) the doctor was sick, so he couldn't explain the stuff, so they had to delay starting for another week...now with the clots, it will probably be longer.
It sucks. And I'm starting to feel guilty because I'm looking at being unemployed, and this could be a time that I could go and help out, but I'm selfish.

[idahome]

peppermint: you're right about the Midwesterner comment. I've been known to toss on flip flops in January, before. Be bold!!!

OMG I made the biggest mistake at work yesterday EVER. Like in my whole career. I fixed it the best I could but it was on a marketing piece that already went out so there is only so much you can do. I have to tell my boss and I'm scared! Not sure if I should just be all matter of fact or like please please please forgive me! I made a mistake last Thursday too. I've been here for about 18 months and have made 3 mistakes in that time and two were in the last week. I feel like shit

[peppermint]

sorry to hear about your dad jigsy. thinking of you.

hang in there @bk - everyone makes mistakes. own up to it, tell your boss how you tried to fix it the best you could, and let him/her know how you plan to avoid making the same mistake moving forward. hoping for the best outcome!

[missva]

Sorry MCC.

AChase - My 6 year old is acting up too. I'm totally blaming it on the sugar.

I'm at work, and there are so many sweets around! It's really hard to be healthy during the holidays. I know, will power and all, but homemade peanut butter chocolate balls, come on.
