It's finally Friday! I am hopeful that my day will fly by. I have PT this morning and then run some errands for work so I won't be in the office most of the day.
I have absolutely no plans this weekend and I intend to keep it that way.

Yay Friday! I made myself a healthy dinner last night. Usually when it's just me, I grab something from the freezer. But I made steak with peppers and onions and asparagus. It was delicious.
Also, started building my new desk last night. Got about half way through before I had to stop. My brother is going to help me finish tonight.
I have work tomorrow, so it doesn't really feel like Friday. I had a good happy hour last night with a new friend. Making friends as an adult feels so much like dating lol. My only plans for the weekend besides work are getting in a bike ride and getting my nails done.

I'm feeling pretty good the past couple days. I talked myself out of obsessing over a couple things I can't control and I'm looking forward to the weekend even though I'm planning on working.
Excited for Friday! Today mstbx (maybe soon to be ex?) and I are going to the driving range. I haven't hit a golf ball in over 7 years so that should be interesting. This weekend I'll be volunteering at a film event and going out with a friend I haven't seen in a while. Yay!
TR I hope your day starts getting better, but try not to already think bad things about the convo with A. I will probably go well, and you will be able to explain what it is that you are needing to feel more secure throughout your time apart each week. Don't set yourself up for failure before you even go into it.

You're right. It's a bad habit of mine. I will work on some positive thinking this afternoon!
I hope it turns out to be a very productive conversation for both of you!
Today would have been my 8th wedding anniversary. I didn't even think about it until just now. Even better, tomorrow is my two year divorce-a-versary! It's pretty appropriate that they're so close together.
I'm glad it's Friday! I'm looking forward to the weekend. Feeling a bit bummed and nostalgic today because it's the two year anniversary of my Nana's passing. I miss her. Sadly, most of her mind was gone for a few years before she passed away so I dont feel I ever really was prepared or got to say goodbye. But we had lots of good years together and she was fucking awesome.
I'm glad it's Friday. I had unexpected trails hit today so that always makes me happy although P was so cranky this morning. I'm over the 5 yr old theory about food. He changes his mind like the Weather about likes and dislikes. I'm looking forward to kicking back tonight with a glass of wine.
I went to a mixer for a little bit last night with one of my guy friends. A professional woman was there who I've seen before. She's amazing and so sweet we met her H and I got a bad first impression. He just seemed "schmoozy" and kind of like a jerk. I hate that!
Tonight I'm taking the guy I'm dating out in my neighborhood - I live waaay out in Brooklyn and I love showing people around. He's been to my apartment a bunch of times, but we usually go out closer to where we both work. Anyway, I'm going to take him to my favorite wine bar to start (they have really good cheese/meat selections, too), and then dinner somewhere else - probably either Middle Eastern or this little farm-to-table spot, depending on the wait. Then maybe a drink at my favorite pub near my apartment on the way home. Yay!

I think my friend is mad at me and I'm not sure if I should ask her if she is.
She asked me late yesterday afternoon if I could watch her son for a few hours that night, there was a school play and he had already seen it and didn't want to go. I have had a SHIT week, sick kid, kid getting in trouble at school, busy with work, we hadn't done homework and she wouldn't be picking him up until my kid's bedtime. So I said no, stating all the above reasons and apologized. Said if it was any other time, I would be more than willing.
I texted her later that night and asked how the play was. She responded good. I haven't heard from her since.

I have had a shit couple of days. My dad got acid in his eye yesterday and had to go to the hospital. My mom is out of town so I rushed out of work to help him. He has about 40% vision in his eye now (we are happy he isn't blind in that eye). So I've been helping him around the house and making sure he has all the stuff he needs and feeding the dogs and other random things you don't think about.
bl - did you go out with the girl from home depot? She was really nice!
pantsoffdanceoff sorry to hear about your dad, do they think he will regain some of the vision that's lost? Yes, it was the girl from home depot, she was super nice.

They are definitely hopeful, so fingers are crossed! My dog babysitter (my mom) will be back on Monday night. Maybe next week sometime we could do happy hour.

Let's plan it!
Let's do something over by where you live, and if we happen to find ourselves wandering around Nordstrom's Rack afterwards so be it!

This isn't my issue, right?
I totally agree it's not your issue. But I think when I'm stressed and ask someone for a favor, them writing back how stressed they are can be frustrating and annoying and 1 uppy you know? Even though I realize that's not the intent at all. I usually just keep it short "Oh I'm so sorry I can't tonight."

I agree, my response was worded way different than what I put here. And she knew of all the crap that went down this week.

I'm kind of upset. Yesterday my brother said he would help me with my office today. Except he left a bit ago with a bag so I doubt he will be. I am having trouble moving some of the larger items and could use the help.
