I was feeling better. Then the antibiotic made me so sick that I stopped taking it. Cue feeling crappy again. I'm calling my normal doc to see if she will call something in for me.
My calves are really sore from the 5k yesterday, but my shins are feeling okay so far. I'm happy with my time (~37m 30s) and glad that the 28 year-old was there encouraging me. My mom did awesome on her 15k, finishing in ~1h 40m.
I need to do a lot of cleaning this week. I'm in a "get rid of all the clutter" mode and I need to harness that. I've also been spending kind of a lot of time with the guy, so it feels like I've neglected home a little bit.

I'm sure you already know this, but it's a really bad idea to stop taking an antibiotic before you finish the course...that's what leads to antibiotic-resistant strains. I hope you can get something different that makes you feel better.
I had an ok weekend. I did go out for Indian with a friend Saturday night and it was so good. I've always wanted to go but have been afraid I would burn my mouth out with spice. It was awesome.

Had a busy, but good weekend celebrating DH's birthday. I was the DD while he and his BFF hit up 4 different breweries on Saturday night. I made his birthday cake on Sunday (his actual birthday), and he loved his present: 5 lbs of his favorite specialty bacon (only available online).

Yeah, I know. I was so sick that I didn't care, lol.
chalupa, my doc just called me back and she called in a different antibiotic. Yippee!
On Saturday, we went shoe shopping. DS picked out light-up Batman sneakers and he needs a child size 13. That means he'll be moving up to youth size 1s by the time school starts back up again in September. Then we went to Michael's to find stickers for his new tablet cover. He picked Avengers. And then he found strings of green rhinestones to stick on his school bucket.
On Sunday, we were outside all day. DS was running his RC monster truck through the little bit of leftover snow and riding his bike and razor. Bear and I were taking down part of the fence in the backyard (only half of the backyard is fenced in, we took down the part that cuts the yard in half and left the sides for privacy). Once DS saw what we were doing, he came running over and grabbed his shovel from his construction site (big pile of dirt where he plays with his construction toys) and helped shovel dirt into the post holes. And then he played in the dirt for the rest of the day. He crashed at 6:00 last night and stayed asleep until I woke him up at 5:40 this morning. He would have slept longer if I didn't have to wake him up.

I'm happy and sad, all rolled in to one. My REA called me over the weekend, and he is confident I can get 25-30k more than what I paid for my house. Which is 35-40k more than what I owe on it. Granted, I will have to pay commissions, but I should net a pretty good profit. Obviously, this makes me happy. Buttttt....it hit me that I will be selling my house, which makes me sad. I worked my ass off for that house after my divorce. It represents a lot.
I had a pretty good weekend...Lunch with my sister went really well. It turns out that my parents are starting to treat her and her boyfriend the same way they treat me and my H. She's decided to move in with her boyfriend and his family because she can't stand living in all the negativity.
I'm not particularly thrilled with her new living situation (she told me her boyfriend's parents tend to fight with each other a lot and she's good at defusing them), but she's 19 and she's been dating her BF for almost two years now.
She told me she was starting to feel really alienated and alone, so I'm really glad I was able to meet her for lunch. Right now I just want her to know I love her and want the best for her and that I will always be there for her whenever she wants to talk or just hang out.
I'm glad lunch with your sister went well SwimDeep. Her living situation sounds awful
yeah...I'm not sure which is worse. Dealing with dramatics between her BF's parents or dealing with confrontational lectures about having a rebellious spirit from her own parents.
I told her she really shouldn't be getting in the middle of arguments, even petty arguments, between her BF's parents. I don't know what else to do other than try to stay close to her.

That's probably the best you can do at this point.
And not to be an ass, but considering the issues between yourself and your H regarding your parents behavior, would this new development help him realize that you can't fix your parents? It seems that this is just who they are and how they behave once an adult child shows signs of independence.

Any HR folks here...gault? Do you know if when you leave a company, the company is required to pay out any PTO that you have accumulated but not used? DH seems to think this is required, but I had never heard of it before.

I don't think you're being an ass at all! Maybe this is a harsh way for me to put it, but it is helping him realize he's not 'special'. My parents do this every time one of their kids (especially one of their daughters) starts becoming an adult.
Maybe a gentler way to put it would be to say he now realizes he's not alone. There's another BF in the picture who's being treated just as poorly as he was.
I have a work conference in Vegas in a few weeks. The last night of the conference, everyone is invited to *dress up* for the final dinner. My coworkers just decided we should dress up in a superhero theme. All of us. Shoot me now! I'd say maybe 1/3 of the conference participants do the dress-up thing, and most of those people are employed by the company that hosts the whole week. Coworkers are now happily ordering short-shorts costumes, because it's Vegas, and I'm sitting over here thinking there's no way in hell my boobs or ass will be hanging out in front of my boss.
Hells to the NO would I be dressing all sexy with co-workers, especially in front of the boss.
