I am feeling yesterday. I didn't drink that much, but apparently that, combined with not enough water and not enough sleep, and I'm feeling icky. And am eating all the things.
However in weirdness, a former co-worker from my last job was there yesterday. I like said co-worker and he filled in a bunch of gaps for me on crap since I've left. I'm feeling...validated.
Bonner Paddock is here at work as a speaker. Should be interesting.

At my dentist appointment yesterday, I discovered I have a cracked filling that needs replacing and a cavity in the tooth next to it.
I haven't had a filling in at least a decade. I don't remember it being too bad. Right? RIGHT? (I have discussed my terror of the dentist on this board several times. Even cleanings are awful. But I seem to remember thinking that I mind fillings less than cleanings because the bad news has already been delivered.)
I love my cousin, but she is the complete opposite of myself. Example: On her way through Colorado Springs, she stopped at the Focus on the Family facility.
The fire alarm has been going off and on for the past 30 minutes. The poor cat is terrified, and she was just getting used to the new apartment.
In better news, DH got a job offer!! But it isn't full time and is a little far away (and a few other minor negatives). He has until end of the day Friday/early monday to let them know. He did just finish a final interview at another school district he really-really wants. So either way, at the end of the week he should have a job.

Ack, pixy0stix! Okay, after my initial shock at the Focus on the Family location, I have to admit that I too have great cousins, but that are very different from me.
My random for today... I am excited that work is picking up with an interesting project AND that I get to go drink wine and talk about a funny book at my book club tonight. They are fun women and I don't see them enough, but I like getting to know them more each month.
Then after I read it I was sad that we forced the 1D fans into a password protected board, because I wondered how this fits into the narrative of LARRY being in love.
Finally, I thought - I hate myself for even knowing about any of this.

When we were camping over the weekend, we had little to no cell reception and my cell phone battery died after the first day (I had brought a small power bank and was mostly using my phone to take pictures for easy uploading later).
It was a little weird, but kind of wonderful to be so completely unplugged. Made me realize how much creep there is in terms of work emails, etc., and also how distracting my gadgets are, as much as I love them. Even the games.
I should make some kind of effort to do that on purpose more often. At least on an occasional weekend.

I know this will probably only make sense to people in MA, but I feel on the verge of tears every time I see little Jane Doe from Deer Island. I want to scream how has no one come forward! This person/people need to be held accountable and this little girl needs to be put at rest.
I'm going to preface this by saying that I deactivated my main fb account, so I had no idea this was going on -
Let's count the things wrong with this story:
My cousin's wife was pregnant. She wanted a dog. Both her parents (she's young) and my cousin (who is older) all said, "No." She didn't listen and 3 weeks from her due date went and bought a 6 week old puppy and brings it home. She gives birth a week later. Suddenly she starts talking like she doesn't want the puppy anymore. My other cousin is visiting and says she'll take the dog. Cousin's wife thinks about it more and decides to keep puppy. 10 days later she's saying that the dog has to go, and has to go now. 4 days earlier and my aunt and uncle could have brought the dog to my other cousin.
My female cousin (the one who wanted the dog) told me this over lunch.
I'm lying down while LO naps, because I can. I don't do this often, but I swear every time I do lie down to rest, I have to poop. It's a rather unfortunate FWP.
I know this will probably only make sense to people in MA, but I feel on the verge of tears every time I see little Jane Doe from Deer Island. I want to scream how has no one come forward! This person/people need to be held accountable and this little girl needs to be put at rest.
I'm from MA and this story just breaks my heart.
Right! I really hope this doesn't turn into a crime they never solve.

One of my more engaging classes this quarter is Interpersonal Communications in the Workplace. I love that I'm learning all these new communications practices and I want to bring them home so the boyfriend and I can engage a little better. He's not having any of it. Maybe I should force him to read my manuals and do the exercises with me.

I have been wanting to buy a new bed from Ikea for quite a while (I know, I'm very fancy and a big spender), and I decided I was finally ready for treat yoself day, but I drive a Camry, which isn't really helpful for making any big purchases. So I was gonna have it shipped to me. Just throw a little money at it, right?
Nope.
Fucking Nope.
They wanted $139 just for delivery. So...square one. Next item, make friends with truck owner. Dammit, I want that stupid bed!
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."

How far is your ikea? You may be able to rent a truck from uhaul or home depot for much cheaper.

Was anyone watching Charlie Rose tonight?
I had it on following NOVA, totally not listening though, and was in the bathroom. I swear I heard some conversation regarding the deal with Iran and they were assuming Hillary Clinton would be the next president. It sounded like that was factoring into what they though Obama should be doing because a woman would be in the white house dealing with the follow up. Dammit. My aural memory is so bad, I can't remember exactly what was said, just that I was all WTF? from the bathroom. Now I'm doubting everything I remember. Ugh.

Is that the online charge or the store charge? I've paid to have the store deliver stuff and it was only $69 but at the time that was cheaper than filling up the gas tank on the truck so I actually saved a few $$.

It's probably 20-25 miles away but it is usually about a 40 minute trip, so I'm going to see if it will actually fit in my car first.
alleinesein, I suppose it was the online charge? I didn't realize there was a difference! Thanks for giving me a couple of things to look into (thanks, sushi too!)
