Happy: 2 more days and we leave to see my mom. I love and miss her.
Annoyed: We are still sick, now mine is settling in my chest. Mr. P is wheezing around here and yesterday he was outside in the drizzling rain, 40 degrees, no coat, no hat, and messing with his damn garden. Idiot.
Loved: My kitties were snuggling me last night and this morning.
Mad/Upset: My neighbor friend is pissed at her H and I kind of don't blame her. He is working out of state right now, so she drove out there to be with him (they are living separately for now) and he spent yesterday at work knowing she was leaving today (not an emergency or required from what she said). He shuts her out and it hurts her and I have no idea what to say. I love them both.
Loved? We went out with some friends this weekend and spent time with their kids. The toddler kept taking my hand and leading me into the living room to play with him, and the baby (who's never really warmed up to me) was giggling at the sounds and faces I was making at her.
Mad/Upset? Not mad or upset, per se, but I'm tired of all this snow. Even though I know that New England and other places have it a LOT worse.
Thankful? Glad we have jobs, we're healthy, etc. I'm glad that my widowed mom has a job, hobbies, her health, and a bunch of friends.
Happy? It's warm enough today that some of this ice should melt off.
Annoyed? I'm so annoyed at the ending of season 3 of House of Cards. I just finished it last night after binge watching it over the weekend and I'm seriously crazy annoyed.
Loved? I was thinking this morning I needed to schedule our tax appointment, then DH messaged me he did it. It was awesome.
Mad/Upset? We have a neighbor that keeps saving a street parking spot. There is no snow or anything, she's been doing it for weeks. Finally over the last week or so people have been moving her stuff and parking there, thankfully. It's driving me CRAZY that she thinks this is okay. I actually overheard her outside complaining to a different neighbor that someone had parked there. OMG.
Annoyed? The usually 4-5 hour drive home from my parents' last night took 7.5 exhausting hours driving in the snow. I was terrified some skittish driver on the Garden State Parkway was going to brake too fast and skid into the back of my car, where the Doggies Derkins were riding. We got home safely, but it was nerve-wracking and so tiring. My car advised me that I averaged 36 mph for the ~260 miles. I got home at 10:45, completely done, and I missed Downton.
Loved? Eh, not really feeling it.
Mad/Upset? My mom is also exhausting me. I was there to begin with this weekend because she kept sending me emails that my brother and Fi were coming, so I could come too if I wanted!, just an idea she was "throwing out there"! She said the same thing enough times that finally it was easier to say I'd come than address the fact that I flew home Tuesday night from a work trip and 48 hours later was turning around and repacking my overnight bag, and was kinda exhausted, and this really wasn't a great weekend for me. She starts a new chemo this week, and I think she just wanted company and distraction this weekend. So I came, but dude, I've been dropping my life for these sorts of reasons on the regular for almost 5 years now. Cancer is a fucking marathon, and not just for the patient. I don't begrudge her the time, but I really fucking want an 8th day in the week for myself. Plus Calvin and I are on month 5 of TTC, and this weekend I was trying to schedule THAT around traveling to visit my parents, since I was going to be ovulating. Oh, and my brother's Fi wants to pick bridesmaid dresses for a wedding that's 7-8 months away. Hey, body of mine: it would be SPECTACULAR if we could work out sooner rather than later whether I should be ordering a maternity dress.
Thankful? My mom is still here to ask me to do these things.

Love this thread!
Happy? It is a slow day at work, so I am taking the morning off to "get more rest" it will be 50% rest, 50% finishing up the two wedding gowns in my office that have been stressing me out so I can be calm and happy at work.
Annoyed? Turning a zippered wedding dress into one with a corset back is my least favorite alteration. Guess what I'm doing this am?
Loved? I had a great time racing with a friend yesterday
Mad/Upset? the race itself was not what I hoped. There are other contributing factors and it is not entirely the race's fault.
