Afternoon Randoms?

[malibu]

I fell asleep last night and forgot to take all my medications/vitamins/crap like that. Wouldn't normally be a big deal except I take Cymbalta. I remembered this morning, kept telling myself to remember to take them, and still forgot. Was nearly to work before I realized I forgot. I don't know if anyone else who takes this has the same reaction, but once I've gone a few hours over 24 hours since my last dose, I start getting faint, dizzy, headache, my heart randomly starts to pound, and a little nausea. So I'm kicking myself for forgetting. It's part of my bedtime routine, but I fell asleep in my clothes last night. I was apparently tired.

My ILs are in Florida right now. Normally, all of their three kids and the spouses/SOs and grandkids go down to visit. This year, they specifically got a condo with several sets of bunk beds in the 2nd bedroom (the condo they've rented the last few years had two twin beds in the 2nd room, which was SO much fun when DD was 2 and 3 and only wanted to sleep in my bed). None of us had plans to go this year. Younger SIL is pregnant and due in June, so she's saving her time off, and H's twin sister and her family were just in Mexico, so they aren't going. So my ILs offered to pay our way to visit. H cleared it at his new job (in which he was granted a week's vacation that has to be used before June 1st), so we're heading to Florida after all in two weeks. Even better, I'd had to cancel a flight to Denver last year when shit went down with H, so I had a credit that was due to expire May 2nd. I would have lost the funds if we weren't going. So yay, I get a spring break after all! We surprised DD last night and told her and her eyes bugged out of her head. She has talked about "Gramma and Grampa's condo" since the day we got home last spring, and I've been telling her we wouldn't be going this year (since prior to yesterday, we didn't think we were!).

I am drawing up ideas to turn our pop up camper into a chicken coop. I'm so excited.

I wish winter could go away, I feel like such a slacker for not going into work but we get more snow than where I work and the roads just flat out sucked this morning.

[renna]

Malibu, I liked your post for the vacation, not for the side effects of a missed dose. I'm sorry for you about that. What a fun trip to Florida, though!

[ZoeHart]

I have felt like shit all week but went into work every day since I'm covering for someone else who is out this week. my boss stopped at my desk and said if I was feeling sick I shouldn't feel guilty about staying home. So I decided, that's it I'm calling in sick tomorrow.
Then right before I left she walked by with the director and said what a dedicated employee I was. And my first thought was damn it now I feel obligated to come in tomorrow.

Oh also, all my dental work is finally done. Two root canals and six appointments later, the crowns are on as of 2/19. Today? MY FUCKING TEETH HURT. I swear to God if I have more teeth issues, I'm burning something down.

Actual LOL.

I feel bad. I had surgery this morning so I can't really do anything. My mom was supposed to come down to help, but she got a stomach bug. So DH has to take care of me. The little boy. The cats. And now the SNOW. Poor guy.

[nadasteph]

I caught the stomach bug that the baby had. He threw up three times and was fine. I haven't kept water down yet today. I feel so awful.

[cinderbella]

We had a cable guy out because our wifi was down. It turned out to be something with the cable. Which meant he had to go in to every single room that had a cable box. Including our messy bedroom with unmade bed and dirty laundry everywhere and our basement that is H's man cave and full of clean /folded laundry all over the couch....... And an old TV and stand that's too heavy for me to help him carry upstairs. I am so embarrassed.

I poured a glass of wine as soon as he went down to the basement.

I'm sorry. I hope you feel better soon.

Ds is napping. I'm watching Reba reruns. I love this show. I have no plans to make dinner. Dd is at my mom's, h will probably come home and go straight to bed since he also has the crap ds has, and ds hasn't eaten in 2 days so I don't want to give him anything too heavy when he finally does eat something. The poor kid is breaking my heart. He had a coughing attack when h was home for lunch and he just looked so scared. He asks for a peenex (Kleenex) every two seconds even though he doesn't need one each time.

There is another coach at the gym that is great but I don't his class style. He's covering my class next week while my usual coach is at UFC training camp. I don't want to go. I don't want to skip. I can't decide which is the lesser of two evils.

I'm about to whore myself out. 2 hour focus group for $125! Holla.

I do this all the time! Come back and tell us what it's about!

I have SO fucking many cardboard boxes by my front door because Amazon decided to send about 8 packages when I placed a large order of baby stuff. Every time I get all the cardboard boxes in the recycling, I end up with more! This better be it. The house is finally fully furnished and I think there's only one more package of baby stuff. Yeesh.

[Deleted]

I had to get out of the house so I packed up the kids and went to target. Everything is 30-50% off, which really means that maybe 2 things are 50% off and everything else in the store is 30%. I didn't really get anything, just some diapers, a humidifier, and a colouring book for the kids.

[ProfessorArtNerd]

Like, is it a requirement that if you make dumbass u youtube videos you have an annoying voice? Must you also be incredibly weird and awkward as well?

[Deleted]

I got a creme egg Mcflurry today. My diet starts tomorrow, lol. (Worth it)

[Saint Monica]

@jezebel how did you get involved ?


malibu -dental anything is the suck (i liked bc i saw you were done but then saw you were uncomfortable so i unliked). ((malibu))

[noodleskooze]

Ugh, our mortgage went up $150 a month because they underestimated our escrow payments last year.

I BETTER GET THIS JOB.

[lilac05]

12 hours after submitting an application for pre-approval for a home loan, and I'm STILL waiting to hear from them. We already have pre-approval from TWO banks, but the seller's agent added a clause after we printed the MLS listing that said all offers must include pre-approval from a certain bank AND a specific person at that bank. She was out of town part of the day. Piss poor planning. There are multiple offers and I am just waiting on her. Our offer that we submitted expires tomorrow at 5PM. I'm NOT HAPPY.

A guy who has worked in our office for a week and has no background in what I do informed me today that his director told him he would be taking over a massively successful, award-winning project that I conceived of, executed and managed for three years. I think I made fuckstick's WUT face before informing him that 1) she doesn't get to make those decisions and 2) no. (A decision reinforced by her boss.)

This woman pisses me off so hardcore because not only does she do NONE of her own work, she is also so clueless as to what her direct reports do that this is the second time this has happened this week.

[Deleted]

I just realized I ate all the fruit cups and now I dint have any for tomorrow. This makes me sad.

[lulu13]

Okay it's evening but it's still random. I'm having a hard time deciphering when to step in when it comes to my kids. I'm starting to realize that it's a real choose your battle situation not just with my own kids but other kids too. Kids are seriously just assholes. For example a kid in my DD's 6th grade class said something shitty on DD's Instagram about my 4th grade son. I deleted the comment but I was so itching to bitch that little shit out. However, I can't swoop in at all times protecting them. It's just not going to work. I have to pick and choose when to get all mama bear and I hate it. HATE IT!! And to be clear it was a jab at my son nothing super serious just a shitty remark and if my DD saw it she would have been irritated (I will tell her about it tomorrow morning).

[TrickyBob]

Fuck fuck fuck. It is 240am and H just came home. Work sent him home because they want to fire him. He is going back in, in a few hours to talk to the head union rep. This isn't what we need right now. He has been looking for other jobs for months but everything is 5 to 10 below what he makes now. If he takes that big of a paycut, we need to move. Fucking fuck

The battle against cardboard is an uphill fight right now. We live in a high rise so getting rid of it entails taking it 30 floors to recycling, which is just such a PITA!

TrickyBob - I'm so sorry. You ok? Do you think his union can help him here?

His company was recently bought and they are out for blood for some folks so I don't know. It is looking fairly grim. I hope they can help until he finds something else.

Ugh, I am so sorry. What a nightmare. I hope things work out for him. ((Hug))
