Short week -yay! This is my only full day in the office this week. Woohoo!!
My doctor's office never called me back yesterday. I called again this morning and the note in my chart says they called me at 9:39am and left a message. She read off the right number, but I was working from home, listening for the phone,checking caller ID and voicemail - nope. No call. Would I have been calling back this morning pissed as hell if they had called and I got the appointment they offered?! I'd be groveling. Grr. I think I need to find a new doctor. I like mine, but it's such a pain to get in and you can't talk to the office, just some central scheduling line. Ugh!

I am unreasonably upset that I have to spend the last weekend of my holiday break oot at my in-law's house. I'm not upset that I have to go there (we'll be celebrating a belated Christmas), I'm just sad that I won't be home to get things done before I have to go back to work. Waaaa.

My cousin and his teenage sons got tickets to the Rose Bowl and are here to stay overnight on the drive from Oregon. I'm excited to help them out, but dh is less than thrilled that they are going to be here NYE.
If we stick to our plan, we are going to a party with out friends early (our usual target of having an amazing time before taking a cab home at 7 pm before it gets loud and crowded), which gives us approximately 2 whole hours before the fam rolls in (and rolls out 8 hours later.) in theory, this is not a flawed plan. Fingers crossed.
I tried the Tapatalk app and quickly gave up on it.
I'm at work today ... it's OK because there aren't too many people here and it's quiet, plus the roads have been congestion-free. But I feel like crap - something passed from my mom to MH to me starting around Christmas. I was hoping they'd let us go early today, but I doubt it since we haven't gotten an email (HR probably isn't even here today).
I would love a bowl of pho for lunch, but there are no Vietnamese restaurants close enough to work. There's a Thai place, though, so I'll make do with whatever soup they have plus some spring rolls.
I spent ALL DAY cleaning and organizing my house yesterday to try to find a place for all of the kids' Christmas presents, cleaning the general messiness, pulling out my new KitchenAid and cleaning every crevice of the old one so I could sell it, changing all the bed sheets in the house to flannel sheets, organizing the baby's closet, and working around the 7 kids I had playing at my house. It is so nice to wake up to a clean house and have everything put away. It was so bad yesterday that I walked around for a few minutes trying to figure out where to even start because the mess was so prolific. I told DH I need to buy a new house to hold all of our crap. He didn't think that was a good idea. :^)
Also, I really like using the word "prolific". It is fun to say.
I had taken a bunch of makeup samples home at Christmas for my mom and sister to go through. Upon finding a glitter eye shadow she declared she doesn't wear glitter eye shadow because she's not a whore and doesn't work a pole. My sister and I looked at each other, and I said I didn't realize I had a second job.

I am irrationally annoyed that I drove an hour to my consulting job office to turn in my computer and do an exit interview, and it's not scheduled until 11am. So I am sitting here wasting time since all my work is done.
The Tapatalk app just updated and now I can't figure out how to access GBCN's subforums easily. It looks strange.
ETA: I accidentally found the drop-down menu by clicking on "GBCN" at the top of the screen, in case anyone else was having navigational issues, too.
I don't like this new update. It's not intuitive and it's telling me I subscribed to a board when I don't think I did. And now I don't know how to unsubscribe.

It did the same to me. I was able to unsubscribe by clicking on the little trash can icon in the bottom right hand corner of the box that shows the forum name.
Hmm. When I clicked on the trashcan it deleted GBCN. I'm able to subscribe but not unsubscribe. At this point I might just go back to the proboards app.

That's odd. I was able to do that with the other forums without deleting GBCN. I'm considering switching back, too. I really don't like the update.

I tried the proboards app. It just crashes on my new phone. Le sigh. I'll get used to this one eventually.
Today we find out if we get to fly back to NA next Tuesday. Or, if we'll have to extend my Korean visa and my base access/ration privileges. (we may, or may not, find out today how much longer it'll be, if we do have to extend... we'll just have to guess for doing the extensions)
Stupid paperwork for clearing the base. Stupid army with it's half day schedules and four day holiday weekends...
So, yeah, we still don't know when we're flying out of here. I need to buy plane tickets to go visit family for after we arrive in NA, but we won't know when we will get there until "later".
We're driving home tomorrow and just realized we'll likely be driving through some snow in the mountains. I've only driven in snow like once so I'm a bit nervous but at least DH will be with me.

Take it slow and steady. If it's an interstate, and the snow is more than a few days old, the road should be mostly clear, but the shoulders and on-ramps and exits might be icy...

Thanks--we ended up leaving last night versus 4am this morning. We hit some rain and fog but we're glad we didn't wait for the morning and got to sleep in our bed last night.

Sometimes adjusting travel plans is the safest option. Glad you got home safe!
