Thank you @uwhuskygirl! We are excited!
I have TONS of sutff to do today, though, including going up to Northgate for lunch with my BFF. That will probably eat up about 3 hours of my day, so I need to get cracking on the packing. (I'm a poet.)
The forecast for the three days we are down there: 82, 80, 83! That's about what it is when we go in the summer. It's totally screwing up what I thought I was going to pack. BUT, I'm excited for some warmth.
I get to see my super old grandmother on Sunday. I'm driving to see her in Palm Springs. We don't have a lot to talk about or anything, but it's good to see her and have lunch. Everytime could be the last - she's 88.

Good morning!
Cool tat, @aellasbeth!
It's Thursday and I kind of hate Thursdays. However, I get to work with our equivalent of Dr. McDreamy (we call him Dr. Swoon, haha) this morning, so that makes it a bit better.
I haven't heard back about the job yet, but I'm not holding my breath.
This weekend is J's birthday, and we're having the ILs come over and watch the kids so we can go hang out downtown, which I'm super excited for. We're going to try to have brunch at Local 360, and then get cupcakes at Yellow Leaf (!!), go see Chappie at Cinerama, and after that go wander around Capitol Hill and have dinner somewhere up there (most likely Quinn's or something). I'm pretty excited about it.
Happy Thursday! It's a religious holiday for several of the execs on my floor, so it should be a quiet day. I'll be trying to catch up on projects that I've had to leave on the back burner.

Morning. I have a phone call this morning to discuss my contract. My current contract ends May 31. If the new one isn't in place by June 1 I'm likely going 50% time for the summer (we have contingency funds set aside to pay my salary between contracts, but will run out quickly if at my normal 80% time and past years have had a large gap between contracts). I'd be so excited to go 50% for the summer!
Then I have a 5 hours Low Impact Development workshop. Fun! Tonight is shrimp/fish tacos and hopefully a mellow night at home watching The Amazing Race with the kids.
I applied for a job on a whim last night. I want to start throwing out a few applications. A bunch of the people I have worked with for years are really unhappy and if they actually leave I don't want to be the last one out.
Another busy day of training and I have PT after work. Hope everyone has a good day!

Got up this morning and did the treadmill for a little bit. I'm hoping today goes by fast. Something about this week, I don't know what it is but I'm not feeling it. I have a few interviews to do today.

Are you watching last Friday's episode?
I think so? We watched the first one, which I thought was the only one, but on the cbs website it had another one listed. So I think we watched one that aired 2/25. Are you an Amazing Race fan? If so, what do you think about this "blind date" thing? What really bugged me during that first episode were the selfie cams. They better lighten up on those!
E is sick. He was fussy, didn't want to eat, and only wanted to snuggle with me last night. He screamed like he was being tortured every time I tried to our him in his bed. He finally slept at 9 and I got to eat. Then he was up at 4. So, I'm tired.
I'm doing a research project for the big boss. I found some good stuff, so hopefully that will mean something good for me.
At PT yesterday, receptionist told me the bad news about my health insurance. What a fucking racket! So...they only cover 25 visits in a calendar year...only then there's also my deductible so I've been largely paying out of pocket. However, those out of pocket deductible ones COUNT in to the 25 even though they don't pay for them? So I'm dropping down to once a week to stretch it out longer. I mean, theoretically I'll get all reimbursed in a settlement but with my monetary luck, I don't want to rely on that being guaranteed H just wants whatever will get me better the quickest and I kind of agree. Oh well, I had actually intended to ask before that news if I should drop to once a week.
Work is still busy busy. Pretending I'll be motivated to go to the gym tonight. Scale says I lost 3/4 a pound from last week. Stupid weekends throw me off. Trying to remind myself its still a loss!
I left the house today! Woohoo! Now I'm home working on cleaning everything of the girls. So my washer and dryer are going non stop and their bathtub is currently filled with toys being sterilized. Yay for Thursday

I am! There was another episode on Friday 2/27. I guess it will now air on Fridays.
I'm loving the blind date thing. After just the 2nd episode you can see the dynamic. There's one couple where you can tell the guy is just not at all into his date ha.

I am off today. Bkb and I ran down to town center to return something. She's been so tired all the time the last couple weeks. It's crazy how low energy she is poor thing. Hopefully it means she takes a nap today . We're going to the park this afternoon after she gets up from quiet time.

Hi everyone, I don't post much but I read everything. I'm trying to get back in the swing of checking a message board daily. I got out of the habit a few years back!
I'm so looking forward to this weekend. I caught the crud last Thursday so Friday's date night was cancelled. Saturday is date night now, and I'm hoping to get lucky!

They won't pay until we settle and we can't settle until all my medical bills are DONE being generated :/ So its out of pocket/savings until then and while we'll hire a lawyer, I'm nervous about just spending the money willy-nilly as there's no guarantee it will ALL get paid back, you know?
