Did you guys see that twin panda babies were born at the National Zoo yesterday?? I loooooove pandas. I can't wait to go see them.

[MrsMB]

Awwwww how sweet!!! I love pandas.

Just back from Bama trying to make my lunches for the week.

[katespade]

We watched Bronson yesterday, which was probably one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen.


MrsMB - Plus side, it included a very naked Tom Hardy. lol.

Which means that I need to see it!

Pandas are so cute!

It's so smokey here today. The fire at the Canada US border is getting huge. And the winds are blowing everything north west.

Here is a picture of us driving down a main road here. Normally it's all mountains in the back ground.

H is mowing the grass. It was baaad. We've had a low key day, which is very needed after two busy days.

I'm getting my hair done tomorrow, and maybe a pedicure if DS cooperates for my MIL. I'm so excited!

[katespade]

awick14 - The air is really bad here, too. We've been getting unhealthy air quality warnings telling us to stay inside for the past couple of days.

This probably makes me a horrible person, but there is a baby panda story in my FB news feed and when I'm scrolling quickly, the panda looks somewhat phallic. :/


Weird day. Heard a motorcycle stop outside our house, assumed it was my dad who I haven't seen in months. It was. Awkward? Also, now he knows the house at the end of our street is for sale. I'm terrified that he will buy it.

After that, went to grocery, came back to a glimpse of someone looking at the house for sale. It was my aunt and uncle. I could handle them moving in. The first house we were under contract on was actually two doors down from them so not the first time we might be neighbors.

And real estate related, the house we used to rent is listed for $365k. Lololol. We live in a super LOL area so I'm not sure where they came up with that price.

[awick14]

katespade- it's gotten so much worse since then. :/ We are on our way to a bbq at a friends, and I will be inside.

It's been an awesome low-key day. And I had morning sex.

[Deleted]

We got some organizing and cleaning done today and now we're relaxing. Did anyone else watch the Full House movie on Lifetime last night? I actually really enjoyed it. The guys playing Danny and Joey seemed spot-on.

I DVR'd it and finished it tonight! Enjoyed it! I agree, the adult characters were spot on, not so much with the kids/girls.

:Y: Morning sex! Still bitter that tree guy ruined our morning romp yesterday...

[estrellita]

I've been feeling pretty miserable mentally lately so today we've just been hanging out. We've been binge watching Unbreakable Kimmy Schmitt. It's pretty good!

[ewall]

Hugs estrellita. I've been struggling, too.

*hugs* to you too. I was on meds for PPD but my anxiety was through the roof so I stopped taking them. Now I'm back in PPD territory. Though I've always dealt with depression so I'm not sure if it counts as PPD but most of it is related to things with E so I guess it is. I guess I don't know where to go from here

awick14 I hope they're able to get the fire under control soon and get the smoke out of there!

Me too. Hopefully soon, 3 firefighters have died and 4 injured from this fire already and it's 0% contained now. :/

Hugs estrellita. Can you talk to your doctor about trying a different med? I had to switch because my anxiety was increased on the first one I tried. I'm sorry you are struggling. Are you able to do counseling? I went through my EAP program at work and found it helpful.

Hugs ewall

I think I might actually talk to the pedi about it today. She's a family doctor so maybe she can help. I know I probably shouldn't piggy back on E's checkup but I don't want to use more PTO than I need to. I am interested in counseling but I don't know where to start with that really. I do have a friend that works in that field though so maybe I can ask him for some recommendations. I just don't have a ton of time and money to spend but I know it would be beneficial.

Do you or your husband have EAP (employee assistance program)? If so, check and see what they offer. I got 5 counseling sessions for free through mine. I hope you feel better soon. Depression and anxiety suck.

I do, but the website wasn't helpful. Talking on the phone gives me anxiety (no clue why) so I've been putting off calling for more info.

[luv2rn4fun]

((hugs)) estrellita and ewall. Hope you ladies both feel better soon. estrellita- definitely make the call and use EAP if you can. I was so lucky to have that available after our losses and it really did help manage the anxiety and depression...not sure I would have coped with things as well if I didn't have my therapist to talk to and work through all the emotions.

I'm there with you. Last week i had a day I spent 1/2 hour uncontrollably crying and shaking then the next 1/2 laying on the floor with G crying while she played. Big hugs

[estrellita]

bk1 *hugs* who knew having a baby would screw with our brains so much?!

Me either! Haha. Hopefully we all start to feel better soon. I'm starting to figure out what exactly is causing my depression, I just have to figure out how I can work through it.
