My gma's passing is imminent (hospice adjusted expectancy to 2h-2days yesterday evening). My poor dad has been at her side for most of the last year, and has been back and forth several times a year for the last 5 years. He made the 12h drive home for a few days of rest, and now he may not be there when she passes. He is on his way now, and my heart breaks for him. I just pray he drives safely.
So now we wait. My house (which will need to be stayed in by the pet sitter) is a hot mess. I need to buy a pack n play and a few other travel things for the baby, and I have absolutely nothing that fits to wear to a funeral. And a ton going on at work. And yet I'm just sitting here. If I'm not sleeping, I should damn well be cleaning, or making lists orrrrr....
This at begins the first of 3 short work weeks for me! I'm taking Friday and Monday off and we're having a mini-vacation with my family. Then the following weekend we decided to have a house warming/BBQ at our house Sunday, so I'm taking the following Monday off to recover. I have a ton of stuff to do in the next 3 days, and our washing machine may be leaking (or something else - we can't find the source of the water in our basement). I was counting on doing at least 1 more load of laundry before we go away...
I let our landlord know that two of the burners on the range weren't working and that I had a coupon for an appliace repair place but she bought a new range instead. It reached home Depot yesterday so it will be delivered today or tomorrow. I'm so excited!
I'm trying to rework the budget, it seems like we are always low on funds but on paper we shouldn't be so I need to figure out where all our money is going. We aren't the best money people,I imagine we are pissing it away on a bunch of small stupid things.

8 days of school left, and I took off one of them, so 7 for me. My sister is coming to visit/take over with Ingrid next week. I'm so excited!! Then, when she leaves, I'm home with her and my H can go back to working relatively normal hours instead of essentially working 18 hrs. a day.
I've been trying to get another job to teach online and it is driving me nuts. The process is soooo slow. I had and passed a phone interview 3 weeks ago with no end in sight. Part of me is fine with this (no summer break with this job, so the longer it takes, the more time off I have) but the other part of me is just anxious to know if I will even get a job.
I love a long weekend and short work week, but I always feel slightly overwhelmed Tuesday morning when I've got all my Monday morning stuff to get through too.
Good weekend though, productive, fun, and it didn't feel like it went by too fast.

The co-op inspector is supposed to come today between 9-12 to make sure we take care of our house, I guess? Whatever. But DH is asleep and I might just kill him. We Just need to clean up our lived-in-ness from the weekend, and vacuum really quick, but I'm all winded and crampy when I do this kind of stuff. GET UP, ASS.
UGHand naturally one of the stupid cars threw up on the floor. I'm not touching it! Gross fuckers
But THEN summer schedule begins. I survived my first semester in this job. And I am not taking summer classes because I graduated! I am so excited for a laidback summer.
Omg I need to get back into a workout routine. I just totally dropped it the past two weeks. And I was down to one of my lower weights, but now up 4 lbs thanks to two weeks of gluttony. Why does fun have to be so bad for you?
Sorry FastHands Do you have any relatives nearby that would have baby stuff to help you out?
No, it's just my gma there out in the boonies. It's ok, I planned to get this stuff before we travel for the holidays, but the rushing around is no fun. Having something else to occupy my mind isn't the worst thing either, though, I suppose!
noodleskooze I hope you were able to cancel. There are stalled cars everywhere it's insane. Our yard was completely underwater last night.
I'm calling in about an hour; I assume my interviewer is at least aware of the situation, if not dealing with it himself, so I'm hoping rescheduling won't be a count against me!

I'm on a bus for an hour to a field trip to a cavern. It's going to be 90 today, my client (squished beside me, talking about yetis) is a sweater, and a kid three rows up is barfing already.

I can't wait to be done at this job. I have just over a month and a half left. Regardless of how our wedding works out, I am still leaving here mid July. I'll just have the whole summer off.
Our camping weekend was wet but still fun. We spent most of Sunday in town to escape the rain - brewery tour, bowling and dinner out. Had a productive talk with the SILs about what our long-term hopes are for MIL and all agreed that her living with any of us is not an option. They are hoping they can talk her into assisted living, but there's a 2 year wait list at the one they think she'd like. I really love my SILs. They are good people.
Speaking of MIL, she is spending the week at our house. I need to buy more wine, ASAP.
