I saw my PCP and had an x-ray. I'm supposed to keep icing and resting for a week or so, and if it doesn't start improving, my PCP will refer me to an orthopedist.
On the upside, this is spurring me to start swimming again, and I do love swimming. Look at me, trying to find the silver lining!
I often pick at my cuticles. Not biting, just picking. I have done this forever. I think my dad also does it. I don't really display any other anxious habits but I wonder if this is something I should discuss with my doctor? Anyone have any tips of dealing with something similar? At any given time I have 1-3 fingers with ripped up looking cuticles.
Ugh, I do this too! I always have since I was actually really little. My mom asked my doc about it when I was little and they gave her the typical, put the nasty tasting stuff on there, etc, remedies. But that never worked b/c I am the same as you...I don't bite or chew on them, just pick at them. I have never spoken to a Dr. about it myself so I have no advice there.
I don't know why I can't stop myself from doing it...but I will say the one thing that keeps the habit at bay for me is if I get acrylics or shellac manicure done on my nails. I find it's just not as easy to pick with thick, lacquered up nails.
My former nanny texted me at 11:30 last night (12:30 her time) that someone would be calling me today for a job reference on her. She woke me up and I was pissed! I texted her this morning to "please not text me that late, that she woke me up and I was not happy about it." I really don't want to give her a reference-she has been a total nut job since we parted ways when we moved in April. I hadn't heard from her in over a month so I thought I wouldn't until last night -ugh!!
what will you say about her if they call you?
The lady called me earlier. I told her she was a good nanny and great with the kids but I had some personality and communication conflicts with her and that she is a nice person but a little "different". The lady said her husband thought the same thing when they interviewed her. I tried to balance the good with the bad! Not sure if she will get the job-it sounded like it is just temp anyways-night nanny for triplets so hopefully the lady wouldn't have to deal with her too much.
One of my Spenjamins is having a little anxiety about starting kindergarten. Sunday night he said to me, "Mommy, how many heads do you have to fix tomorrow? Can you fix them fast and pick me up early?"
I just video my DD3 playing/talking to herself. I never video special events but I know I'll really fondly look back at this kind of thing & miss it. Nothing cuter than a 3yr old narrating her play.
I broke my wedding ring
I bought DD1 & 2 Tom & Jerry costumes 3yrs ago. I am cleaning out the house & garage & discovered I have 2 costumes of each. One that is still in the package of each. I have no idea how that happened at least none that I recall.

That's cute. I was a very anxious and shy kid, so I can relate to his fears.
I read the first part of your post as "One of my Spenjaminis..." since you were talking about your child. I will probably think of them as Spenjaminis from now on. Haha.
I have a second interview tomorrow for my "dream job". It's a peer interview so shouldn't be as stressful as the first one. I keep telling myself I won't be sad if I don't get it but that's a total lie... I will be crushed.
I just noticed that I have never seen a rat in the Paris subway. I'm not complaining, but why do they only have teeny, tiny mice running around underground occasionally here when the NYC subway system is practically overrun with giant rats?
My second random is that my daughter's head smells like fresh-baked bread when she's really sweaty. What is that?
I was feeling very weak and nauseous so I crawled into bed and ended up taking a three hour nap. I woke up with a 101.7F fever and a headache again. I took 2 ibuprofen and 2 acetaminophen about 80 minutes ago and I still have an awful headache. at least my fever is going down (99.4F right now).
I realized I only peed twice today so I think I'm dehydrated from getting sick yesterday off the iron pills. I just feel so crummy and want SO to come home and bring me gatorade and chicken strips. unfortunately he usually doesn't get home until 8 or 9pm.
I am having gallbladder surgery on Thursday. The doctor said I should take TWO WEEKS off work and I just finished a week-long vacation yesterday. My boss is going to love me.

My skin thinks it's simultaneously 13 and 45 years old. I can't stop breaking out, and on top of that, I'm getting the "parentheses" wrinkles next to my mouth. Boo. (I'm 33).
My raise was really shitty this year - it was about $500 less than last year, and last year's raise wasn't anything to write home about either. I'm beyond pissed and disappointed. I know lots of people at companies don't get raises, yada yada, but we've always had a decent (3-4%)raise in the past, we're not struggling financially, we're spending tons of money on a major courtyard renovation and a ton of other stuff, and there is no reason IMO why employee raises should be less important than those other things.
I got a new job within my company this year (lateral move) and have been working my ass off, and my reward is a smaller raise than I got in my old job. My boss told me I got the normal raise for "meets expectations", which is the standard rating at my company (it is very rare someone gets a higher rating), so I'm fairly sure it wasn't just me. But they made a big deal in the last year about how they are restructuring pay and rewards and rewarding performance so this felt like a slap in the face. I was afraid I had my hopes up too high that I'd get a bigger raise than in past years, but I never would have imagined it would actually be less than in past years.
Oh, and my boss told me I exceeded his expectations for a new person in my position. WTF?
I feel like the wind was knocked out of my sails. And then I feel overdramatic for saying that and wonder WTF is wrong with me that I'm taking this as hard as I am? I actually shed a couple of tears.

I was pissy with my husband, and he yelled. Then he felt bad for yelling and went out and bought me candy. I'm trying to avoid junk, so I'm still annoyed. Fun times over here.
