recovery day Tuesday

[georgeharrison]

I'm so tired.    We didn't even stay up for fireworks last night.

We had bought some and lit them off on Saturday and Sunday, but I just couldn't imagine being up until 11 last night and then coming to work this morning.

We saw Independence Day: Resurgence yesterday afternoon.  It was pretty good, but Tman hasn't seen the first one, and I think he kind of missed out on some of the connections.  But I don't think kids really watch movies like that...I think he was just happy this one as is. 

I work all the rest of the week.  Tman has youth group tonight and then a boy scout pre-camp meeting on Wed.  He leaves on Sunday for that camp, comes back the following Saturday and then the next day we drive him to Yakima for another week of camp.  He's going to be gone a lot!  But then he's only going to be away from us one more weekend during the summer, so that makes me feel better.

I hope everyone still has all their appendages today.  I know there were at least two serious firework accidents at Muckleshoot yesterday. 

ETA:  James just texted me that one of his best work buddies' uncle lost his ear and hand from fireworks yesterday!  So horrible.

Yeah, we went to bed pretty early. Too tired to stay up for fireworks.

SIL closed on their house on the 30th so we spent a lot of time running between our house, their house, and a cousin's house. We all live within 1.5 miles of each other. We did a lot of furniture and stuff swapping. SIL collected a lot of free furniture since they weren't sure how big their place would end up being, so we now have a couch, armoire, and coffee table for our downstairs tv room, to go with our other L couch.

FYI - Bed Bath and Beyond has lots of cute Kate Spade house stuff that you can use their 20% off coupons on. I didn't know this. Bought SIL a new polka dot kettle.

Oh, also after my Usborne party, I was complaining to H about how our couch (upstairs) wasn't very comfy and I needed somewhere for snuggly reading time with MiMi. So we bought a new couch and love seat they got delivered yesterday morning. YAY

We went to the Burien 4th of July parade. It was pretty fun. 1 hour, started on time. Short and sweet, which is perfect for the attention span of littles.

Good morning.

I'm so glad I took the day off today. I thought about going in for a bit because there's only 3 of us on my team, and one is out sick. Leaving just one person. But.. I decided eff it. It'll just be waiting for me when I go in tomorrow. So a lazy day for me.

K came with me to my brothers yesterday. So he's officially met my family now. I think it went ok... Still not sure where things are going, but just enjoying it for the time being.

Good morning! Last night I fell asleep while watching the fireworks on tv, lol. I'm happy that Conan isn't scared of the fireworks' noises, but he will growl and bark whenever they wake him up. According to my Fitbit, I was restless (aka Conan woke me up) 19 times between 11:00pm and 5:40am. So I am still tired.

I had a great 3-day weekend. I saw Independence Day-R, and it was good for what it is and reminded me a lot of the first one.

On Sunday we celebrated 4th a day early by going to a potluck/BBQ with friends. Monday was a day of pure laziness.

Good afternoon -

We had a busy-ish weekend. We went to Whidbey on Friday night after 6 there was like no line. We caught the 1130. My parents went claming in the am and we hung out until around 4 and headed home (I slept terribly, the dogs like to whine at each other all night).

Sunday H finished the bedframe! Yay!!!

Monday we were lazy all day and the dog really wanted to go outside, then she decided she didn't like being outside in the fireworks. The bangs don't scare her it is the high pitch+lights

Ugh. I've been fighting morning sickness and fatigue and I'm so ready for second tri to get here and for it to hopefully subside. 3 more weeks. I can't cook without feeling horrible. No actual throwing up, but fighting the urge to almost all the time. I forgot that I dislike the whole pregnancy thing.

Yesterday I slept a lot and then went to have burgers at my parents house. We walked to the park to watch the fireworks and it was fun.

Today I slept until noon, made the boys grilled cheese for lunch, and now trying to not throw up while I lay in bed. Going to go work Sailor today and maybe try and go for a walk since I've already put on weight going from a low carb diet to a diet where toast and bread are my only friends.

Anyone want to do my laundry ? Lol

We went to a party last night over in Skyway, which means unincorporated King county no fireworks ban. They had a great display and it's crazy being only a few hundred feet away from those! The host is big in the pinball community...he owns 9 pinball machines at his house! They're all set on free-play so that was fun, plus played a kind of 24,000 Pyramid kind of game with some gals. Apparently they did this yearly thing of an elimination game where teams tape firecrackers and stuff to little paper tanks. I was watching the first round, standing at the END of the driveway about the furthest away out of any spectators...and something hard hit me in the face and I had a nice bleedy cheek. Of course that would happen to me. *roll eyes* It was also lovely that it was only 10 minutes from our house and no traffic to battle to head home afterward.

Woke up with a headache this morning, emailed work, and went back to sleep. I had an impossible time waking up later and trying to get any motivation or energy. Did make it in to the office about 1pm finally (and everything is all caught up and nothing for me to do, sigh). I have drawing class tonight. So tired.

Recovery day indeed. Our new 'hood really likes to shoot fireworks (and gunshots) in every direction on the 4th, as we learned last night. Being newish homeowners we laid awake for a long time being paranoid about stuff hitting the roof. This morning was a rough wakeup. Thankfully the day is almost over!

Rough day around here. I had to take the hound in to be laid to sleep. I took her for a cheeseburger and brought a doughnut along for her. Then the awesome vet had made her up a ice cream sundae for her as well. Now that its done I'm struggling with the relief I feel knowing everything is ended and theres no more worry in if she is uncomfortable or suffering.

I'm just a ball of emotions I can't figure out where to start in trying to figure them out. I think now that this is done with though it will be a start. Thanks for the support from those of you on Fb and IG. It means more than you know right now.

Man I am really getting into the swing of things. Went to the bank today. Couple sets of docs faxed for a resident. No meetings thankfully. Might be one tomorrow with the admin. Its crazy working in a nursing home!!

First day back to work. Check. It went by fast. I was really busy. I learned that J needs a lot more milk than I thought. At first it's trial and error trying to figure out the right amounts since I'm a BF ing on demand and really have no idea how much she's actually eating.

Woke up at 5:30 to pump and then worked out for a half hour. I'm trying to start a good early morning routine.
