We had friends visiting this weekend, and had the best time ever. It was so much fun, and really made me want to make friends in this area. But I'm awkward and don't know how to make friends at this age! I'm also out of town at least half of the time, so that makes it difficult.
Our friends being here also made me forget to pay our rent on time for the first time. I turned it in the second the office opened this morning, hoping that I wouldn't have to pay a late fee since it was due yesterday and we've never been late before, but nope. $100 late fee. Fucking ugh.
Also. I want to lose it on the fool who just posted a tirade on my FB group about how steroid treatment of asthma has caused her friend's kid to have some blood disorder and also she thinks steroids caused her father's cancer, that he died from.
Because, you know, things like an asthma attack which causes a child to suffocate aren't a threat.
i'm so sorry tamb. T&P for your dad, and the rest of your family.
my random is that I hate my job today, and most days. I'm just hanging on until maternity leave, when I have enough time to do a good job of applying at other places.

Ugh, I'm so sorry tambo. This sucks for your dad. Maybe he will actually have better movement with a prosthetic (you mentioned that it was painful for him to walk on his feet). It's certainly possible that this will improve his quality of life for at least a while.
annyong, you seem very cool. It's surprising to me that you have a hard time making friends.
After that thread about HK and MC where I mentioned cheese souffle, I really couldn't stop thinking about it, and there is now one in my oven. 18 more minutes! I hope I didn't fuck it up.
All of the m/c's and parents dying is making me so sad. Hugs to everyone.
Thanks miso and laptop. I've met a few people on airplanes (hah), one of which I've hung out with several times, so I guess I have one friend here!
My biggest problem is that I'm gone so often that when I'm home, H and I usually just do things by ourselves and don't make meeting other people a priority. I'm usually okay with that, but after weekends like this, it makes me miss hanging out with others.
sakelp- I'm in the same boat. I'm almost counting the days until leave starts.
Tamb- I'm sorry abut everything your family is going through. T&P to all of you.
My random- I need to do laundry and clean the kitchen, but I'm having a hard time getting my butt off the couch. I'm sitting here watching Maury and eating (more) cookies.
Thinking of you Tamb, my uncle just had an amputation last week on his foot also. I wondered the same things the night before he had it. If it makes you feel any better, he feels better, mentally, knowing that it's done and he won't have any more pain.
1. {{tamb}} 2. I would like to take a nap under my desk I'm so freaking tired. 3. flameful?: Sawyerthedestroyer, I love you chica but your sig pic.... not so much.
More flameful than random but....... I saw on FB (a friend was tagged in a pic) that my ex got married over the weekend. Even though it's been 14 years it kind of hit me a little bit.
We had the same circle of friends and genuinely had a lot of fun together. I just lost feelings for him and didn't think it was fair to keep the relationship going. Because of that a few of my close friends sided with him and kind of stopped talking to me eventually. It really hurt but I guess that's how it goes.
On the upside he looks very happy and his wife is beautiful. Maybe it's my self esteem talking but I think he made out much better with her lol.
My random is that if you buy Montes wine, they'll donate money to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The CFF sites and forums really helped us when we were going through the pregnancy CF scare so I'm plugging this just a little We're so lucky the boys don't have it, but it's the reason we aren't having more bio kids. So ... if you like wine.......check it out: www.cff.org/aboutCFFoundation/NewsEvents/9-5-Vina-Montes-Wines-Angels-in-Action.cfm
And if you like wine and OTHER causes I really love OneHope Wines
I fretted and cried (in my office because I am totes professional) about Leo and how he isn't taking a bottle well, and how I am probably going to have to nurse this child for two years because he totally won't take anything else, and I will never get to do anything by myself again, and he is going to starve, and I bet he is unhappy etc etc etc. He had a hard day at daycare yesterday with eating.
Then I called DCP and she said he had already slurped down two bottles with a smile on his face and no fuss. So you know everything is fine.
No one ever tells you with parenting how you will fret about the dumbest stuff and you will have days when you think it is the end of the world. I mean jeeze louise eddy find some real problems.

I have a hairy face IRL, it's all blond and fine, but hairy. The new lady cutting my hair is big on the ear wisps and I'm like lady, LOOK at the hairy face, the ear wispies go sideburn-like on me, HELLO.
One time when I was in middle school we had a career day with all kinds of professionals giving talks and stuff. I took the cosmetology one and she picked me to do my makeup (40 year old ho stylie, of course) and then she announced to everyone in the room that I have a really hairy face.
My random is that DD didn't take her lunch today so she could eat the school lunch. They have to memorize a six digit lunch code, like a pin number, to use to pay for lunch. We drilled her over and over on her code this summer, but I'm still nervous that she may forget it. She's five! I also realize this is overdramatic.
