I don't know what's wrong with me, but this whole week I've been up at least 30 minutes before my alarm goes off and today it was an hour. Grr... I just want to sleep.
Taking off for Gdansk in like 2 hours and I'm hoping the rain stays away there.
Have a wonderful Friday everyone!
mkate710, use the hand sanitizer they have stationed around the ship and you should be good! The last cruise we went on with my parents for the first day no one could serve themselves at the buffet, at least on Holland America I thought they did a really good job of trying to regulate the germs and stuff. H is a huge germaphobe and he did ok on the cruise. Have a wonderful time!!!!
georgeharrison and alias, I hope things get better with your little men soon!
Thinking about you at your funeral today @aellasbeth
Enjoy the sun larzhope! Do you take Tux and Riley with you when you go?
I am getting ready for bed! But happy friday all! I have to head down to Purdy to help my sister clean out her lake house and get it ready as a rental (blah not fun), but the dog can go swimming so that is a plus
Lame you are not getting the sleep UW! I hate when that happens. Mostly because I hate my current boss and lead so I don't want to go into work a second earlier than I have to
H comes home from his solo vacation tomorrow. He emailed me this week with some pretty deep thoughts that are a step in the right direction.
I've been eating out all week...either at friends houses or just take out since I've been on my own and don't have the energy to cook. I think I've legitimately gained 5 pounds this week. Ugh. Next week I need to be on a strict paleo diet so I can enjoy my shopping trip in Vancouver next weekend.
Happy Friday. We have a super busy weekend with SIL's bday, and both our parents anniversaries. I was a little worried about not gaining any weight thus far in the pregnancy, I feel like that is coming to an end after this weekend.

TGIF! I'm super tired for some reason, maybe partly due to Conan waking me up in the middle of the night because he decided that was the perfect time to start grooming his paws and face like a cat RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE. Today is going to be another evening of basketball, I hope my picks survive!
Morning! We made it to the sun late last night and I slept wonderfully. we don't bring the dogs because Riley is too big for the complex (max weight of 35 lbs) and if we have to pay for our house sitter to watch one, it doesn't make sense to bring one dog. Also, our house sitter only charges $15/night, so it's not financially advantageous to bring the dogs when it is $150/way for Tuxedo alone.
I've got meetings all day and a bit of work to get done. No plans yet for tonight, but it's supposed to be super warm today
Today is the last day of spring break. I am ready for jr to go back to school. We are taking Paddy to the dog park today and then I have book club tonight

Good morning! Traffic finally made me a bit happier this morning. All week it was so bad, last night I almost broke down. There is a position in our Lynnwood office that I considered applying for, but I feel like it would be a step back. Ugh.
I had to cut my run a few minutes short this morning because a car that I saw freaked me out. It's so dark/early when I run that it freaks me out to see anyone. Well, this car was parked down the street from my house but he was just sitting in his car with the headlights on. When I left for work, the car was there, but I didn't see anyone in it - so I was probably just scaring myself.

thank you @uwhuskygirl, it's a phase. In general, he's a pretty good kid, but sometimes we have to work through stuff like this. I hate it. I hate having to correct/discipline. Hot lunch at his school is pizza on Friday and he was excited, but he wouldn't obey this morning, so I take that away and send him with a sack lunch. It sucked. It worked, though, after that, he was spot on the rest of the morning. It's hard to find his motivation, so I'm glad the pizza thing worked.
ANYWAY, I'm home today. I went shopping this morning and got Tman's Easter basket stuff. I'm in the middle of cleaning Tman's bathroom and vacuuming... and doing some work, but mostly I'm watching trash TV.

mkate710 I hope you are having fun the first day of the cruise!
larzhope and fiddles I hope you are having fun in Arizona. It looks amazing down there.
My meeting for the day canceled at the last minute. That's the second time it's happened to me this week. I need to talk to them. I plan my day around when they schedule the meeting. It's not appropriate for them to cancel last minute.
Did my last crossfit open work out today. It was fun but I am glad it's over.
Planning on taking a long lunch today to run to the Disney Store to by some stuff for bkb's Easter basket. I have a going away party tonight for one of my coworkers. BKB and I will be on our own tomorrow so I am not sure what we'll do. Sunday is Easter with my family.
Tomorrow ended up better than expected. Nothing was working in the morning, 2 hours on 2 things to not be able to get either to completion when the first thing should have taken 10 minutes MAX not an hour. All company meeting to announce we've leased a space across the street to move one of the departments into so then we got to take a field trip to look at it. Then I went down to our paper vendor with the bossman and officemate for a little vendor show where we got freebies and Longhorn BBQ and my bossman won a 55" LED TV! We figured out after we were at the office that it was rigged XD Our raffle tickets had a meal stub and they commented when they 'drew' his name that the stub was still on it. Well, back at the office a half hour later, he found the meal stub he had torn off his raffle ticket but forgot to hand in. HAHAHAHAHA.
AF showed up so that's a relief, I slept better last night but still not great. My neck is still bothering me/aching from that PT appointment. H went for a walk and I went to pick up some food for dinner and drop by the pharmacy. Weather is supposed to be nice this weekend. H may have a poker game. I'm hoping to go up to Sky Nursery and finally buy my quince plant!
Thanks for the kind words you guys! I'm still nervous but definitely less so today. We are downtown waiting to grab my brother from the ferry so he can take us to the airport then take my car to my folks' house. We are going to get lunch at 13 Coins first. Flying to LA tonight, crashing by the port and getting on the ship tomorrow. Looking forward to squeezing my nieces and nephews in a few short hours!
I don't know what's wrong with me, but this whole week I've been up at least 30 minutes before my alarm goes off and today it was an hour. Grr... I just want to sleep.
omg, this has been happening to me this week too! granted, I haven't been so awake I've gotten up, but more like coming out of sleep probably a half hour early. so weird.
I'm overwhelmed with keeping up the apt/chores/pets right now and I had to write it out in an email when I got to work this morning. He agrees, but we're stuck - he's just stretched too thin and while he's good at cleaning usually, he's had no time this year. He said he'll try to do better, but that's just another thing to stress him out with and I don't want that. I think we need to hire someone to clean at least once a month for a while.
I started whole 30 this week and my supply quickly plummeted so...I'm holding off until summer. It could be a whole bunch of stuff but I don't want to mess with it right now.
Pdq I'll dd this part *poof* It's overwhelming, I'm exhausted and emotionally drained.

Tapatalk ate my reply, which was just me complaining about how I'm at a conference all day and there's no wireless. And it's a tech conference. I don't understand.
Lots of hugs mrslefty I hope something comes along and things get better.
Nothing exciting for us today. I think I got the last of the girls Easter basket stuff and managed a little more yard work before nap time. Need to get a work out in but I'm just tired now and not wanting to get up.

I'm sorry mrslefty Are you able to get any help in the class?
Up early this morning for a class at the gym, then raced home so H could head out to catch a ferry. Going to Bainbridge to play golf. A perk of being self employed - making deals on the golf course! I did a bit of work this morning then went to the vet to pick up Tucker's ashes. I held it together until the vet tech gave me a hug. She asked how Hoss was doing and I think I blubbered "better than we are it seems" and now I feel like an ass for saying that.
P has a friend coming over after school, E has LAX practice, and then there is a movie night at our neighborhood community center/house. P wants to go and E doesn't and I'm hoping to we can convince P to do a movie night at home.
larzhope - does your dog sitter spend the night for $15/night?? We pay $40/night per dog!
InBetweenDays - she does. She is a college student and I imagine when she has a real job we will be screwed, but for now, she takes online classes and works part-time and up until recently was living with her parents, so she LOVED having a big house to herself. We always leave food for her, give her use of the hot tub, etc. We feel SO lucky to have found someone so affordable. She also stayed at our house during the few months we were living in China last year so she's practically part of the family!
Funeral today was ok. Only one of three times in my life I have seen my grandfather break down. The other was at my great grandmother (grandma's mom) 's funeral doing the eulogy and the second at my wedding during our father/daughter dance.
