Ugh...Monday

[doriswe]

How is it Monday already??

How was the weekend?

[doriswe]

Mine was okay. DD keeps pushing limits with me, which is getting old fast. I'm tired of having to do this alone, but at the same time I'm glad I don't have to involve her dad, if that makes any sense.

Saturday I overdid it at boot camp and ended up pinching a nerve or something, so I've been nursing that. DD got sick, so we ended up in Urgent Care on Sunday. She's got strep and I'm crushing pills for her since she can't swallow pills. I was supposed to go to the gun range yesterday, but I ended up having to go to work at my 2nd job.

And I got woken up because of the level of pain, last night. I cannot remember the last time I had this much pain.

Yeah, I'm pretty much the brightest ray of sunshine today!

[partiallysunny]

I'm with you doriswe. Weekend was a mixed bag and I'm feeling emotional today. Blah.

[bullygirl979]

Man, hugs to you two.

My weekend was good! I was in Boston for work/niece's confirmation. Friday night we went out to dinner with my brother and his wife. It was awesome. Saturday was confirmation and then we went to the Boston aquarium. We met up with the family for a celebratory dinner on Saturday night. My niece loved her confirmation gift--score. Sunday we drove home, unpacked and did laundry.

I got her the path of life slider necklace from Alex and Ani. I wrote a long note in the card about how I had the same bracelet and what it meant to me. And how the meaning behind the bracelet is appropriate as she is starting her "adult" life.

I don't want it to be Monday!

Big hugs to doriswe, partiallysunny, and chalupa.

Friday night was no good, so I'm not counting that towards my weekend, but it did set a funky tone. Overall it was a mixed bag for me as well. Saturday I had a brunch date that went really well but then an evening date that wasn't very good. On the brunch date we also went into World Market because he'd never been there and had a lot of fun wandering around the store, then we walked around the area for a bit and ended up in a museum. It was just a really fun time.

Yesterday I did chores and hung around the house until a friend (wedding guy, if you remember him) invited me over to finish watching the football game at his place. It was cool to see his new place and nice to hang out as friends. Then I went to another friend's place to take care of her pets, but she'd come home early from her trip which I didn't discover until I got there. So we hung out and got dinner. I think mostly I didn't have quite as much time at home as I would've liked this weekend.

I had an interesting weekend. Saturday my parents came up to go to an airshow. It said rain or shine and they had a plane that H really wanted to see. We drove all the way there to find it canceled. We drove back and went to see the Martian with Matt Daimon and have brunch. The movie was really good and pretty funny. 

Then we came back to my house to find that I now have base cabinets installed in my kitchen!!!! Yipee. It is looking good. I'll post pictures when it's finished. I am waiting on some pendant lights to ship and some other odds and ends.

[bullygirl979]

Holy shite, chalupa. I'd be furious. Seeing as it was partially the night worker's fault, I'd hope the BO helped out with the vet bill....

[doglove]

Mixed bag here as well. Did some foster coordinating on Saturday morning, got a text about an hour before my date that the guy was cancelling due to his previous date and their decision to become exclusive. Thanks for giving me an hour notice! The rest of the weekend was full of nothing. Poor Buddy has a hot spot on his face so I had to shave his hair and treat it for him. He's now in the cone head until it heals more.

BO feels terrible, and told me to take the cost of the vet bill and new stall lock off of next month's board bill. I'm still pissed about what happened, but BO has done what she can to make it right.

Agreed. I'd say she did what she needed to do.

ETA: And I consider this ALL the barn worker's fault, not partially. Larry's stall door doesn't allow his head to hang out into the aisle, so it's not like he reached over and unlatched himself. She had to have not latched the door when she fed him dinner, and he probably either nosed it open or it magically popped open when he was rubbing his face against his favorite scratching spot (Larry thinks the grates on the door make a great face massager)

Gotcha. I was giving her the benefit of the doubt that maybe the lock broke, and she didn't know. Lol.

Weekend was really fun. The kids and I went to my sister's wedding on Friday--this caused drama at church because people didn't realize I'm a twin and texts were sent all over apparently. We had a blast with my folks Friday night, then crashed. Saturday, we got up and DS#1 made me pancakes then we hit the mall and reception. We played video games and ate awesome cookies for 3 hours. The staff at the bar was awesome and they had so much fun with us--you could tell. We got kicked out at 4 so it go back to being 21+. The kids and I drove home right after.

Sunday was church/playing hostess to our new faculty member who was checking out church. Then we did laundry, grocery shopping, and cleaning up the yard/house.

Oh, and in his "help himself to all the food" spree, he also decided to eat the noseband off his own bridle. Sigh. He ate no one else's tack - just his own.

how considerate, lol

[tiramisu]

(((doglove))) That sucks that he didn't give you more notice.

I also feel like, if you're that course to exclusivity with someone, don't start dating new people. Grrr on your behalf!

Right? I mean a few days ago he was all into me and we had a great first date, but if he had been "dating" someone and on the road to a exclusivity, why keep going on first dates? That makes my stomach turn, I don't want to be with someone who's shopping around like that anyways. 

It's fine though. I have a hugely busy fall and it's best I focus on myself and doing the things I enjoy. If someone stumbles across me, they'll have to be the one to pursue and figure it out. 

Friday is my divorce day. Also, I'm going to get my new tattoo to celebrate Friday afternoon.  

[tiramisu]

doglove that's a great attitude! How are you feeling about the divorce? Do you have to go to court?

I'm excited for this to officially close a chapter in your life and love seeing where you are now compared with when everything first happened. You're pretty awesome, lady!

[margarita]

My weekend was a mixed bag as well. On Saturday, H and I went to the zoo and out for lunch. That was great. But now H is sick and I am extremely tired, like I am about to come down with something.

Both kitties are sick as well. One of them has a rash on her chin and she has to use The Cone of Shame until it heals better. I also have to apply a cream for her twice a day.
My other cat has some kind of bacterial infection in her tummy and a sore bum. I have to help her wipe her bum 1-2 times per day.

And AF just arrived for me! We are quite a sorry bunch over here! lol

thanks! I'm kind of all over the place about the divorce. Mostly relief and excitement, but sadness/grief of the finality of it as well. I don't have to go to court, the lawyer is doing that all for me. I kind of feel like a coward for not showing up, but I don't owe him anything and I know that's the best thing for me to do. I'm done thinking about how things look to other people and focused on doing what's best for myself and my mental health. It's a struggle still, but I think I've made some huge strides in that area over the last year.

With the cone? She's had it on since Friday, so it's still early. The vet wanted us to try it for at least a week. :?
I don't want her to have to wear it for that long, but we'll see. Hopefully she won't need it for longer than that!
I'm sorry Buddy has to use a cone too.

Cones are the worst!

My weekend was fun but I'm feeling a bit emotional today. Not really sure why but it might have to do with the fact the weather was shit all weekend. Not one ray of sunshine.

Anyway, there's one word that sums up my weekend: football

[spindle92]

Add me to the feeling emotional/off today club.
I have no idea why but I just do.

Hugs to everyone who needs them!

Also, a laugh because I had a typo so the message originally read "hogs to everyone who needs them!" Doesn't everyone need a hog??

I can't speak for everyone, but a cute little baby hog would certainly brighten my day

Uhhhh I was more thinking along the lines of bacon but sure, baby hogs for all!

[cuddlyevil]

I'll take some bacon
