You asked for it.
My MIL had a stroke a few weeks ago. She's doing okay now. I'm really irritated with my SILs because they are doing jackshit to help MIL while she recovers.
My brother is getting a divorce. It's a fucking mess and my mother has put herself in the middle of it. There is to be a birthday party for my niece next weekend and I'm assuming it's going to be a clusterfuck.
I stayed up too late watching a movie last night. It was a good movie (Porn World). Worth it.
I went to Target and bought three cardigans yesterday. This is a woe, because I'm trying not to shop at Target.
I'm with Muddled. Winter sucks. It started snowing this morning, and we're not supposed to get more than 2" total today, yet my bus was THIRTY MINUTES LATE this morning. If I can make it to the bus stop, I expectt he bus to make it on time. Ugh.
Ugh. Waiting for the bus in the freezing cold is the worst.
pinkplasticdoll, I think it's related to the sinus thing. It seems to be a bit better this morning after two full doses of antibiotics, but we'll see. I just want them to be healthy again.

Thank you for the offer pinkplasticdoll. MIL is doing okay. She's having a hard time remembering names and numbers, but seemed fine when we visited her on Monday.
I hope you like the movie! It's a dark comedy, which I love but some people don't.

we had PF's 4-yr-well check yesterday. She's gained 7lbs (31lbs now!), she's 38-ish inches, super healthy, took her 4 yr boosters like a champ, and her pediatrician assured me that I have not messed up my child. We're still having sleep issues but with all of the changes and upheaval going on, the doc recommends that we give in (within reason) to the tiny dictator's bedtime demands.
On the bedtime note - last night was NOT a good night. She went down with minimal issue and I was out of her room in 30 minutes. Then she woke up an hour and a half later and was up for the next 3 hours. She and I are both wrecked today.
Also I'm still waiting on my town over-night parking permit. Which means I'm spending a butt load in meters until it goes through. At least when H is traveling I can use our parking spot and it'll only be weekends that I need to park in metered parking starting next week.
My face is a broken out mess. I'm trying not to feel discouraged and just go with it, but it makes me feel a little insecure. I'm trying not to think too much about it and focus on the great things I'm doing for my skin.

Have you had your period since starting your new regimen?

What are you using now? The Paula's Choice stuff? Your skin may like some formulations and hate others. Did you add in the new products one by one? Spreading out the new product introductions a few days apart can help you tell which product makes your skin freak out.
Still the Paula's Choice stuff. I did an oil absorbing mask and tried a different cleanser over the weekend and the oil production on my face was massive. I'm back to the same cleanser, toner, exfoliater and moisturizer at this point.
I'm sofaking tired today. Yesterday was my first full day back in the real world. I started moving at 5:40 AM and didn't stop until almost 9 PM. I've been having crazy weird dreams that have been waking me up multiple times a night.
partiallysunny, what kind of rehab/therapy is your MIL in for recovery? The brain is an amazing machine with the right equipment.
I don't know all the details. What I do know is they found a ball of plaque in/on her brain when she was admitted and used a medication to break it up. She was released a few days later with a cholesterol medication (for high cholesterol but to also help break up any additional plaque, I think?). She is seeing a neurologist regularly and is still doing blood work and other testing. There was even talk of something being wrong with her heart? From what I gather, they are still trying to determine if it was an isolated incident or if it's something they can treat to avoid it from happening again.

Gotcha. Maybe some brain teaser games/books will help with her memory situation since they really do play with neuroplasticity. This is totally my non-medical advice.

Maybe I'll pick her up a couple puzzle books. She'd probably appreciate it, since she's on leave from work. I really think she needs to relax but it's hard to do with their living situation
I am still sick and feeling miserable. I'm hoping this passes soon. I went to the doctor yesterday, and she basically said to just keep doing what I'm doing. Alrighty, then.
I have pink eye. 2nd time in the last month. darn kids. my daughter got invited to a bday part on Valentines day. I guess I'll be going since I dont plan on doing anything with H
She's an adult, margarita. There's not much you can do. Say your piece once (if that) and remove yourselves from the drama. She gets to make her own decisions and suffer from the consequences or reap the rewards all by her big girl self.

I missed two phone calls yesterday about an interview for a job (!!!) because I can't have my cell phone with me while at work, and I didn't want to give out my work number when I'm job-hunting. I called the guy back, but he had already left for the day. I left a VM with my work number, but I haven't heard from him yet. He said in his VM that they wanted to bring me in today for an interview. Now I'm panicking that they changed their minds since I didn't answer my phone.
I've got some health stuff going on that I'm not particularly happy about.
I can't drink alcohol due to my antibiotic. Dammit.
udscoobychick did you tell him that email is the best way to reach you? Although, I am very WTF about a HR person expecting you to be available on less than 24 hours' notice. I need to clear my schedule, because I am a responsible employee who doesn't just fake being sick to go to an interview. You know, the kind of employee you are going to want to hire.
Ok, I'm not the only one who thought that was a little odd. Thankfully, my employer is very flexible, so I could run out for a couple-hour "appointment" in the middle of the day, so long as I make up the hours later in the timecard period.
Unfortunately, email is not a good way to reach me, either--work blocks everything but non-work emails. I think I will run out and check my cell phone when I get to a break point today (within the next 15 minutes) and give him a call.
