Checking in from us soil this morning... sorta. I'm at the embassy getting pages added to my passport.
I don't know why, but I'm irrationally irritated that they're spelling things the British way on signs in the embassy. There isn't a u in neighbor, American embassy! maybe it's because I woke up in a super foul mood.
Taking my parents to go see Christmas lights and stuff tonight. And then we fly out of Amsterdam tomorrow.
Last work day this week for me. I decided to squeeze in a long weekend since I'm pretty much stuck in the office for the holidays. Planning to do some Christmas shopping for H tonight then sleeping in tomorrow. Tomorrow also marks the date we got engaged so I'm hoping h and I can do something fun.

I have another quiet day today. A member of our EMT is going to drop off gourmet popcorn before lunch and wants a tour of my branch. That's my big excitement. At least I will have some great popcorn to pig out on for lunch.
Happy Thursday! We have a payroll deadline today. My boss isn't coming in tomorrow so it sort of feels like Friday. I'm really hooked on Once Upon a Time. I just started season 1 last week!
That's all, I'm still anxiously awaiting my amazon orders to update. I know they are probably super busy but this is crazy.
Last day of work for me, and I'm leaving early! Whoop!
Now if H could just feel better, and stop snoring I'll be happy. I came close to smothering him last night with his pillow (kidding....kinda).
I'll openly confess that it's a small miracle my snorey H hasn't been beaten to death in his sleep by now. They are so freaking loud!!
Yes! And then we argue at 1am about me going to the couch! He feels so bad, but I always tell him I'd rather sleep on the couch than lay in bed trying to sleep but can't because it's so loud!
I am exhausted. H made a comment that I have been going into work early every day this week, but that is because I have to leave early for appointments. H's company is not very flexible with his work schedule and mine is so I have to do all the running around to doctor's and such. I think the big issue is that jr comes into the room shortly after I leave and wakes H up. If I am home I am the one that gets up. H asked me to park the car outside so the garage door doesn't wake jr up, but then my car will be cold and I will have to get up earlier to warm it up and brush off the snow - no thank you.
Morning! Doing a. little better today. Mostly going to relax, but do need to go to the VA to finish my clinical set up. I should also do some wrapping.
Today is my Friday. I decided last minute Tuesday to take a mental health day. I have a couple appointments and need to seriously get stuff finished for Christmas. I wasn't feeling good this week. I got home about 5 and crashed. Woke up at 10 to take my contacts out and didn't wake up again until 7 when my alarm went off. I think my body needed some sleep.
H went and visited his dad at the nursing home last night. FIL is doing better but then only do review on Tuesdays and Thursdays for discharge so hopefully they'll say today he can go home. MIL says he's stronger now than he was before the pneumonia hit. I made it to the gym by myself! Got Seahawks bears for the nephews, grabbed dinner and then went home. I had H assembled our tree but either we can't find a plug or one whole strand on the bottom is toast Hoping to do some decorating, but we'll see how I feel. I went to bed at 9:30! Didn't fall asleep for maybe 45 minutes but I was just too tired to want to do anything but lie there in the dark.
H ticked me off this morning as he was mean and growly at me when I asked if he had done anything about a present for his mom yet as it was causing me anxiety. So I don't like the poo-head today! I have PT and then going to try to ignore him at home and maybe do laundry or kitchen clean or craft
I woke up rough this morning but the day has gotten a little better. J is napping so I am letting M watch a Christmas movie while I play around on the internets instead of doing productive things
You guys. I. am. LIVID. It is 6 days past when I should I received my first paycheck. Still do not have it. I was promised it today. I don't even know if I trust that my one for tomorrow will be here!

I swear to god I am going to murder someone.
What is the reason they are giving you that your check is late?

Well, I am through a staffing service. I guess when all my paperwork was signed, something got missed. But we didn't find this out until Monday, because when I called last week to ask when I should expect my first paper check, they advised me sometimes the mail is slow and can take up until Monday to come. So I called them Monday when I got home and it wasn't in my mail box. By Tuesday morning they figured out what was up, but because of "computer things" that I don't understand, it couldn't go out until yesterday. I was told it was going out overnight.....but it didn't... So now its a weeks late, not my fault and I am still getting the short end of the stick.

Umm I would be livid as well! If you have no checks by tomorrow I'd be rolling some heads and moving about the office talking to whoever needed until its fixed before the weekend.

Wow that is horrible! What staffing agency are you using? I'd be pissed!

I will pm you.
God you guys I have seriously had it up to here with suffering because of other's mistakes. First the check thing and now the ornament for my cookie exchange Saturday, that I bought in October is missing because my WONDERFUL husband decided to "put it someplace safe". He cannot find it. And I told him NOT. TO. MOVE IT. and now I have to go out and buy a new one.
I know that is such a FWP but seriously with the check thing and now this. Its just so compounded and I am just BESIDE myself.

Today was long. Woke up at 4:30 to go to work. Dogs were crazy. So glad I don't work tomorrow. Just finished watching the season finale of Hell's Kitchen with my mom.
