I think the post about dreams about MLers got to me. I had a dream that tators was proctoring an English exam of mine, but it was all about makeup and fashion. It was too long and didn't make sense. And while I was writing the exam she was showing men around in my bedroom. One of them was naked.
I'm feeling down. I feel like I'm in a bit of an emotional tailspin or dipped into quicksand. Today, I going to try and draw. Hopefully that will help.
eta: I am taking this feeling and going to push through and fight for growth.

Jake and I both WFH but somehow, again, I'm left with 100% of the kid duties.
I think this is kind of bullshit. I have to go into the office this afternoon (I can walk there) and he's all, but I'll have to stop working then! No, dipbutt, you may not be able to take calls but you can do the rest of your work. The kids will survive.

Wtf?! Lol I think I've made it big to be in someone's dream.
I was worried I would creep you out, but then decided to post it anyway. Keep the naked men out of my room!
I went to bed with a headache and woke up with one. Ugh.
The past couple weeks I was doing so well (at least during the work week) at exercising and eating better. And this week I feel like I'm just falling deeper and deeper into the slump again. I'm going to blame this on my period/hormones and try to talk myself back into it. Blah.
My pup has been having skin issues. She's kind of a mess anyway (lots of medical issues) but the last few months she's been getting sores on her skin. We've gotten all kinds of tests, theyve come back normal. The vet has tried a few treatments but they haven't worked. One of the scabby patches is seeping. I have her staying in the kitchen for now and I feel bad, she's "wuff " ing every few minutes because she wants out. We have an appointment with a veterinary dermatologist, the soonest they could get us in is Feb 3, I made the appointment weeks ago. I'm looking forward to it, I want her better.
I'm also worried it's something more than a skin issue. She's 8 and she's a bulldog (not a healthy breed). If she had cancer or something, she would have something come back abnormal in her blood work right?
I am dragging today, Morgan woke up 30 minutes before I usually get her up, only 10 minutes before I really *had* to get up but man it felt WAY too early! At least I leave at 4 on Wednesday's.
It's so weird that we have had hardly any snow this winter. And now it's reached the point where if it's not going to be enough for a snow day I don't want it LOL.
There's drinks at work for someone who's retiring today and I feel bad staying because H has been in a building site (our house) all day and is likely to have to continue working late.
So I feel guilty, but not enough not to stay, especially as he was pretty snappy with me on the phone earlier when I suggested to get the contractor to do the job instead of him.

I'm hitting that point where I wake up every morning and go "Gah, I'm STILL pregnant?" I'm not even that uncomfortable, just tired of it.
Its my husband's birthday, which has always made me choke up a bit since his accident. I'm running home at lunch to decorate the apartment, because that's what us cheezy and folksy people do :-)
I'm not so verklempt, however, that I'm not currently riding his ass to GET THE BOXES WITH THE LAST OF THE CHRISTMAS CRAP PUT AWAY ALREADY, GAH. Because if my pregnant ass has to lift those boxes myself, I will not be pleased!

That sounds like my boxer's skin issue. He had a staph infection on the skin, which is apparently fairly common. We had to give a 30 day course of antibiotics to clear it up, but he's good now. The staph infection popped up after my dog had a bout with pancreatitis.

We had a 2 week course of abx, more tests and then another 10 days. I wonder if she had it all together in one stretch it would go away?
Did the tests come back with anything abnormal? She's had scrape tests and there was a slightly higher than normal level of bacteria but I think the second scrape came back normal after abx

I really need to get my resume together. The new format people do of resumes with detail scares me. I miss the old school days of one pagers. I wish someone would do it for me.

I am feeling you on this one. Yep. I don't know how he can manage many projects and people, have a couple screens going and get all of that done. But ask to stay home with the kids and work and OMG he can't work and be on kid duty. So it is usually always me. And somehow I manage.
I'm nervous bc this payroll thing still isn't resolved. The college closed early Monday, and was closed yesterday. Ten minutes til theanager gets in to hear my vm. I'm feeling out bc the supervisor gave me such weird answers when I talked to her- "oh, well you're not the only one who wasn't paid. I don't think he will approve running payroll for just you" (ok, so pay everyone yiu stiffed?). "Well with the snow coming..." (Huh?!) im so frustrated. And our mortgage is due Friday at 9. I don't want to ask DHs parents for help, God damn it.
Ugh, that stinks. I hope it's resolved ASAP. Most mortgage lenders offer a 15-day grace period where even though it's due on the 1st, it's not past due until the 16th. Any chance your mortgage lender has that?
I am over today already and it's only 9:20 here. I'd love nothing more then to go home and sleep the day away, but I have a meeting after lunch so unfortunately, I will be here all day.
We broke another record high yesterday....70* here! It's supposed to be 50* today. I just keep wondering how bad we are going to get hit in March or April.

No change is good news at this point. Baby's looking good and so am I right now.
I took them up on the sleeping pill last night and got some sleep.
The nurses here are great. Right now I want to hug all of you nurses who work in hospitals. I hope you know how much comfort you bring to those of us who are in difficult situations.
Also, we had a drowning in one of our parks yesterday. An elderly gentleman's dog fell through the ice and he was trying to save the dog and also fell through. Neither one made it.

I'm glad things seem to be holding steady for you! I've been thinking about you and baby!
I have to get permanent crowns on my two teeth I had root canals on back in Oct/Nov now that flex spending and dental insurance deductibles have started over. I can't get in until next Thursday. One side of my mouth is killing me, I'm not sure if it's the one that needs a crown or a new one causing pain, but I am so very much over mouth pain.
I fell asleep at 8 last night. Didn't wake up until 6:35. Oops.
I'm currently looking up recipes that will have decent amounts of leftovers (that are also healthy) as I will likely pack H a lunch when I'm packing my own for the next day NOW THAT HE HAS A JOB. (Clearly, I am excited about this.) The one thing we're still trying to figure out is a bathroom routine. He and I have had different schedules basically since we started living together ten years ago, so we've never had to try to figure this out before. We only have one bathroom. Even weirder will be having to deal with waking up K in the mornings again to go to daycare/preschool. It's been 8 months now since I've had to do that. She's not fun in the mornings. Gets it from me. LOL
I just did a liberal rant on a FB post that a friend liked that came down my timeline. Conservative post about a Muslim woman not taking off her hijab when she was arrested because there were male officers present and no females. I'm getting tired and cranky about the OMG Sharia Law is overriding the US Constitution! and I took it out on that post. No, assholes, it isn't Sharia Law overriding the Constitution, it's about her First Amendment Right to practice her religion and all the police had to do was bring in a female officer rather than a male and everything would have been okey-dokey. I anticipate some gun-totin' Second-Amendment nutjob showing up at my house despite citing my Christian, God and Country, Military Family and Learned-to-Shoot-Before-I-Was-10 credentials into my rant about the uneducated masses crying "deport the terrorist" mentality being the other side of the same coin as the "Kill the Infidels" Muslims, with a jab about it being akin to Jim Crow with a different skin color, and ended it with God Bless America.
I should find it and delete it I suppose, but I do wish those right-wing whack-jobs would just quit already, and there is too much herd mentality with nobody calling them out on it. I need a nap.
