Wednesday! (I think)

[HoneySpider]

The days are all starting to blend together.

I'm mildly obsessed with Big Lots lately. I went this morning and it was my 3rd trip there in 2-ish weeks. But they have great deals and I've had coupons on top of it. I seem to get the same cashier every time too, she's probably thinking "this lady really needs a life." 

[travelbug]

I've been off all week wth the days too. I really need to get back on track!!

I work majority of the day. Then I need to organize or unpack 1 box when I get home to feel like I accomplished something today other than work!

[estrellita]

Glad I'm not the only one confused about this week. I'm off today because I work Sat and my brain just keeps skipping today, haha. We have a work picnic tomorrow so they want us to come in early, and yesterday I kept saying tomorrow. Sigh. Oh well, I'm happy to have a day off and tomorrow we get a few hours to just have fun!

Update on my old boss if anyone is interested (she was in an accident July 31): She is awake and has had a few surgeries so far. She has a lot of broken bones. She won't be able to walk for a few months. So she has a long road ahead of her, but she is doing well considering. The update yesterday said that she still doesn't know that her H didn't make it and they were telling her sometime this week. I think they were waiting since I'm sure she's a little out of it with the pain and meds, plus she had been in an induced coma. I'm so heartbroken for her

I thought it was Thursday. It's been a crazy few days with sickness. My H is home sick today so the rest of the week will feel long now.


We just watched a mini documentary thing about genetically engineered people in the future. It was really fascinating.

Today is the last day of my mini staycation, and I'm not ready for it to be over. I don't want to go back to work.

[MrsMB]

Our internet went down at work....causing mass panic. It's back up and everyone is scrambling to get back on schedule. I cleaned my office a bit though...which was nice.

[awick14]

I worked night shift last night. Now I'm trying to sleep but it's not happening.

[Skyesthelimit1212]

My birthday is coming up at the end of the month and I'm still trying to figure out if I should take the day off from work. The problem is I don't know if I'll be able to make up the time between now and Oct. I have 3 days saved already and I need those three days for my niece's wedding in Oct. I really hate this job where we get no vacation days and it's all time-earned.

[estrellita]

I feel relief finally. I called to set up a payment plan on my medical bills. They are letting me do $50/month on each bill (2 bills) for 90 days, then I have to call to reassess the payment in Nov. I'm hoping we can pay it down as much as possible before then so we can keep the payments low. I'm just happy to have that out of the way now!

[katespade]

That's awesome news, estrellita!!!!! I'm glad that they were willing to work with you.

[ewall]

Great job estrellita! I can imagine the relief at having a plan in place!

[bk1]

That's great estrellita! 

[amaranth]

My heart is racing so fast, still. About an hour ago M was only 3" from being hit by a car. Some idiot ran a stop sign, cut off two cars, and didn't even see us in the crosswalk. I grabbed him so tightly and pulled him out of the way. People in their cars were gasping. When we were on the sidewalk again I yelled at the driver, "you idiot, you almost killed my kid!" Because I was just so terrified and angry. He was blocks away already and likely didn't hear. Probably not the best reaction, but it happened so fast. I don't think he ever heard or saw us

At home M asked for junk food and I was like here, take it all. I'm just so glad he's okay.


estrellita so glad they're working with you.

[katespade]

Oh my gosh, amaranth, how scary!!!!!!!!!

[bk1]

Oh amaranth that made my heart race just reading it. I'm so glad you guys are okay!!! 

[MrsMB]

OMG amaranth!!!!! That is so awful! I'm so sorry that happened to you guys! I wonder if there is a store nearby that might have security cam footage. That person needs to answer for almost killing someone!!!

[HoneySpider]

((amaranth)) How scary!! What a jerk

[ewall]

So scary amaranth. I'm sorry

[estrellita]

Omg amaranth I would have flipped out. So glad everyone is OK. People need to be more careful!

[awick14]

((amaranth)) some asshat ran a red light when I was walking my pup once. (Not the same as a kid but still.) I yanked on the leash so hard that I scared my pup. I couldn't stop shaking the rest of the way home.

estrellita- I'm glad they are willing to work with you.

[MrsAggie]

Omg amaranth Im so, so sorry that happened today. I can't even imagine how terrifying that was. Cake for dinner? Sure, kid.

[MrsAggie]

I had an appointment with my OB today. Last week she said I was off for 2 weeks because of my positive test. Today she said as long as I don't have any problems then I can follow up in 2 weeks. I asked if I was going back to work next week as she was walking out. She stopped, looked at me, and said "um, no". I think reality just set in that I probably won't be going back to work. I'm killing my list of Netflix and Amazon shows long before maternity leave even starts.

[wanderingenough]

amaranth - that is terrifying. So glad you guys are ok!

Hugs MrsAggie!

[awick14]

((MrsAggie)) being off for so long is going to be hard, but Netflix is your friend. And you always have us here.

Well I haven't been posting much because I don't have any energy to do anything these days. And tomorrow I drive 4 hrs to stay in my "new" city for work for 10 days. I will be working 4 on 4 off so having a regular schedule will be nice.

[grover]

awick14 how long will your new job's shifts be?

[awick14]

grover- the same as my current ones, 12 hrs.
