Another gross day here but at least it isn't currently raining.
We have SO much shit to do before our garage sale in two weeks. I think we'll spend most of today doing that. Plus maybe a Starbuck trip to get coffee, listen to music, and dick around on my computer or whatever.
And I probably should do some Mother's Day shopping.
I woke up two hours ago and haven't gotten out of bed yet. I'm hitting a critical level of needing to pee tho. But if I get up the dog will get all rowdy and want to go out. FWP
My neighbour is a fucking asshole. They seem to have zero issue leaving their dog outside barking for long periods of time. Like, what are they even doing? What kind of asshole lets their dog out at 7 am and gives no shits about it barking for 45 minutes? And this happens any time of day or night. Grr

I hate that! Doesn't the barking annoy them too? Our one dog is a barker but I bring her right in.

I am in a terrible mood. DS woke up in the middle of the night with a fever. House full of cranky over here.
Boyfriend and I have been arguing a bit lately, and it's really getting to me. He's a bit of a smart ass, and he's kind of...abrupt? It's just his personality, I guess. Me, I'm super sensitive, always have been. I get scared that it won't work out if we can't find a middle ground there. I am totally head over heels. I want it to work. Ugh.
So. I decided that since I have roughly 4 unopened cans of paint, I'd start painting the upstairs. It's the same shade of very light grey/pretty much white that I did in that room in the basement. I've painted the stairwell and hallway, and now I'm worried it's going to be TOO white.
I think I fucked up, but I'm not going to change it. Maybe I'll just get some bright art *-)
I have a shitload of work to do today. DH is taking the girls to go get haircuts, do the grocery shopping, and then go see the Jungle Book. Basically we are role-swapping today.
This is our third straight day of snow. I'm ready for actual spring now, goddammit.
We went to dinner last night at O'Noir - you eat in absolute darkness and the servers were all visually impaired. Food was decent but it was a fun experience.
Friends bridal shower is today. She was bitching a few days ago that no one got her her dishes she registered for and when I pointed out they were expensive and people usually give more expensive gifts for the wedding she threw the "well they were on sale! And if people went in together they can afford it!" She knows I was going in on a gift with another bridesmaid. Argh I cannot wait till this wedding is over. She has turned into such a brat.
I am such a wet blanket. How does this work when you have to pee? Also, I would be convinced that there was all kinds of crap in my food. Is everything pre-cut for you? This is all just getting me agitated.

Hugs. All I want to say is - don't let this leave you feeling TOO sensitive. Does he make you feel that way or does he acknowledge he's brash?Â
But... remember that there are more men out there. You don't have to settle down with the first one. (rose)
I typed a response but decided I didn't want to put all this here, lol.

I am really hung over and FI woke up still drunk. A case of beer, two bottles of wine, and a bottle of Jameson are now in the recycling bin. His 30th birthday small get-together (only 4 of us were actually drinking) was a success, but holy smokes I can't do this like I used to.

Yes. The concept seems disturbing to me, and maybe a little offensive? Like you're trying on a disability for the evening. Or something.

Me too! I am very over this weather. Yuck.
I mostly cleaned up the kitchen today and tidied up a few other things. I need to put away laundry and wipe down the kitchen counters.
DS was a bit of a pill this morning, but he went down super easily for his nap. I'm crossing my fingers that we get at least another half hour out of him.

There was a story about it on NPR a month or so ago. It actually sounded really cool and it seemed like the servers and people who run it are really into it. I view it more as a way of sharing the experience and gaining some insight and empathy into what it's like to be blind.
FastHands - you call your server and they will guide you to the restroom. Meat is cut into smaller pieces for you. And I mean, just because you can see your food at other places, doesn't mean there isn't crap in there either lol. I guess I just trust those preparing and serving my food.
rosiebear - I didn't see it in the sense that we were trying a disability for the evening, i saw it more like how isabel described. I thought it was a bit insightful. I liked how all the servers were blind, and I've read a few articles and reviews about it and the servers really enjoy their job.
I'm finally watching Parks & Rec and just gasped and then cried at a marriage proposal, lol. Thanks PMS. Also thank you PMS to the ton of brownie batter I just ate. Oops. But I've been doing so well with my diet otherwise and it doesn't count on your period, right?
Also, pretty sure BF and I will be moving to Plano, TX in about 6 months. Eek! Lots to talk about.
I still have a case of the sads, but it's a new week and things are looking up. I got motivated and did some usual life stuff, like grocery shop and tidy a couple of catch all spots. I had majorly avoided being a responsible adult all week. I have a few fun things on the agenda and more work than I could want this week, so that's good.
I had a great day with my little chickadee and we accomplished a lot for teacher appreciation week.
I got back from easter dinner a little while ago and I am SO tired now. 1 more hour until I can start putting the kids to bed.
I don't know what it is about the il's cooking, but I find myself dehydrated pretty much instantly after eating there. It's always super delicious, but man. Salt? Idk.
My friend recommended chamomile tea to ease my anxiety. I made the mistake of getting chamomile flavored with vanilla and honey. Every time I take a sip I feel like I'm drinking liquid potpourri. :/
