I have some errands to run during lunch today and then I'm meting a friend for dinner tonight. I'm hoping that it stays nice out so that we can eat outside next to the river.
Happy Friday all!
Lots of love and hugs to the @ksta and sotally tober family today! You're all in my thoughts. (hug) (heart) (hug2)
So glad that things are working out for you guys kwpnjumper55! It's good that a little good news is coming your way.
sotally tober and @ksta my heart hurts for you both. You'll be in my thoughts today.
We had a lot of fun with my family last night - it was an an aunt, an uncle and some cousins I haven't seen in ages. We haven't seen my extended family much since Grandma passed. Lots of stories and laughs. Then H and I had a few drinks with one cousin and her boyfriend after dinner. Maybe stayed up too late but I don't really care. We never see them.
I'm embarking on another Whole 30 today! This will be my 3rd but it's been over a year so I've gotta get back in the mindset.

Morning! Holy crap, yesterday was a complete clusterfuck at work. They had set up my email and phone, which apparently caused the system to freak out, so we had to deal with that all morning. :N:
But, it's Friday! Yay! Work and then I have some errands afterwords. I'm picking up Abby and she's staying with me for the night since I have to take her to the vet early in the morning and drop her off. She's getting her teeth cleaned. Then I'm going to BF's place and we are spending the weekend together. It's going to be awesome and relaxing. He hasn't seen any of the Marvel movies,so we're doing a marathon before we go see the new Avengers movie next weekend.

We're catching up on all of the packing we should have been doing while we were in Boston. I spent yesterday packing up my office (the one at work, not the one at home) and then our evenings have been spent frantically trying to make progress on the house, so my internet time has been cut down. Big apologies for disappearing long stretches
MIL has been keeping tabs on the house, she's cleaned out our fridge for us, which is my least favorite job, so she's working her way off of BEC status with me She got a really $$ carpet cleaner scheduled for today. I wanted to find my own, but she insisted and is paying half, so I'm not going to argue, but I think $450 is a lot for a single floor of carpet. Or is that just how much things cost in Seattle?
I'm embarking on another Whole 30 today! This will be my 3rd but it's been over a year so I've gotta get back in the mindset.
Good luck! I said that I was going to cut back on carbs and sugar for a week after the marathon, but now PMS is rearing its ugly head and I'm all efffffff that! Maybe next week
Big hugs to @ksta and sotally tober, I'm thinking of you!
So glad it's Friday. I have been busting my butt for this move, I did the majority of the cleaning and organizing. Hopefully today in the new clinic goes well-known everyone is freaking out about it. We had so many meetings my head is spinning. We discussed 2 plastic flags for an hour and a half yesterday. I wanted to bang my head on the table...
Thank you everyone, for the kind thoughts and words. I know they don't seem like much but honestly, they mean a ton to me <3 I'm at work for the morning and leaving at lunch to go to MILs. We're meeting with someone at 2 to discuss a service. Trying to figure out when I can get my haircut as I canceled my appointment yesterday and I was already overdue, but my guy only works a few days a week. Also trying to figure out how I'm not going to just balloon up a few more pounds as food in general hasn't been appealing, more just eating so I don't feel ill, but the only that does appeal is sweets like cake and chocolate. Sigh.

Your in my thoughts @ivankitteh and @sototallysober
My day is actually looking pretty good. I just might even get to leave early this afternoon. It feels so good to have a chill day. I need to enjoy it while it lasts because next week will be a cluster.
Not much else going on tonight. Tomorrow I have to get up early to drop off my car to get the oil changed. I hate that I have to get up early to do that but I will have my car done, run in, and swim lessons done by 10am.

I'm sorry for everyone that's struggling today - with loss or frustrating or exhaustion.
@uwhuskygirl, thank you for continuing to think of SBG. She (TMI) did a duke yesterday afternoon that was almost normal. No more accidents since Wednesday morning. I think she's feeling better. She's next to me on the couch right now, sawing brown logs. Labradors are just the best.
I went shopping this morning and ended up with nothing. I mean, of course I BOUGHT a bunch of stuff, but I don't know what exactly...just about $140 of junk. Although, I did get Tman some new swim trunks...he was too big for his britches, hahaha! Also, for teacher appreciation week next week, they sent out this email saying they were going to have a lunch for the teachers one day. They sent this list of stuff asking for volunteers. I'm lazy, so I volunteered to bring plates/cups/napkins/utensils. I didn't realize how expensive that stuff is. We don't use paper plates except for parties and then it's not very many. In order to get reasonable quality stuff, it was super spendy. I only bought the cups and plates today and will buy the napkins and utensils next week. ANYWAY...
I'm cleaning house today including Tman's bathroom - gross, and washing bedding. I'm hoping for a nap. I love naps. Sleeping is my favorite.
Oh, we're going to the Rainier's game tonight...looking forward to that.
Tomorrow morning, I'm meeting an old co-worker for coffee. We don't have a lot in common and haven't kept in touch that much, but we were friendly when we worked together. It will be good for catching up and super good for networking. That's awful of me to say, right?
Has anyone watched this Rectify show? It's on Netflix, not sure what it was on when it was on TV. It's kind of a meesed up show.

TGIF! We had a fire drill at work, and it went incredibly smoothly. At my last place, fire drills were always shitshows/herding cats, so this was a nice change of pace.
Tonight I'm going to a whatever-is-the-opposite-of-a-House-Warming party. A friend is moving and is throwing one last shindig at her old apartment, so I'm going to that. This weekend is packed - a book club meeting (I grabbed a box of TJ's Cookie Butter Cheesecake bites to bring), a Belltown Food Tour, another IPA Fest outing, and beer brewing. A Fat Kid/Adult paradise!

I got a job! As a NOC CNA in bothell (yes its a drive) but the pay is about $4 more per hour then positions around here so it will pay for my gas. Only 6 residents because its an adult family home and I'm allowed to watch television, read, work on my homework, ect.
