I made an order through Amazon for my niece's birthday gift. Maybe three seconds after placing the order, I realized it was going to my house and not theirs so I changed it. So, they send the gifts to their house AND my house. Ok...so I've got a return to mail today.
Has anyone read The Cursed Child? I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, and I finally had time to sit down and start reading it yesterday.... And I had to stop after like 50 pages. Does it get better? Should I keep reading?
The format doesn't bother me because I'm used to reading scripts, but the storyline reads like bad fanfiction so far.
I had one of the worst nights with C last night. His cough won't allow him to sleep and he is such an inflexible sleeper. Many failed attempts to get him to sleep with me or on me. I finally set up camp in his room and "slept" on the floor. So many wakeup and hardly any sleep. We are up now and he is such a sick, cranky mess...poor guy
I'm in a funk this morning. I'm at my OB appointment and my mom has G. I asked my mom to keep her a bit longer so I could grocery shop alone. I think I just need a few minutes by myself.
I did stop at Starbucks and get my first PSL of the season so that is helping.
Today will be my first day back at work since June. DH is convinced it's like the first day of school but to me it's more like I had two months of vacation and am heading back to work.
I work officially at 530 to continue training a new employee, trying to decide if I want to go in a little earlier go pick up a few hours... But, in the meantime I am watching a little tv and eating breakfast. I really need to do a few chores too!

It gets better. I thought the same, but was thinking, "I've got to trust Jo. This will get better." So I pushed through. The last 1/3 of the book flew by. I still don't think it is on par with the rest of the HP series, but I liked it.

Thank you ewall and MrsMB! Thankfully he did not last long this morning before I attempted a nap...it worked without a fight and he has been asleep for 2 hours so far! Hoping he wakes up feeling better and maybe even up for another nap this afternoon!
It's the day before an OB appointment so, like usual, I just will the day to go faster. My life is measured in OB appointments right now.
H and I cleaned out the nursery closet and the hung up onesies mixed with the boxes of diapers at the bottom remind me of when I was pregnant with W. It makes the room feel a tiny bit more like a nursery and less like a guest room. As a bonus, H wanted to clean out the main guest bedroom closet. We've been needing to do that since we moved 3 years ago. Yesterday was a productive day. The downside is it ended with one of our dogs puking *under the covers* by my feet at 3:30am. 😑 Damn dog.
Ugh today was a bad day. I don't know if the stress is getting to me but I had 2 panic attacks at work today. I've been getting them more frequently lately and I don't like it. If I didn't have an orientee riding with me I would of went home. I have a doctor's appointment Friday so will have to discuss this then. If it happens again before then I'm going to have to text my doctor to see if she can squeeze me in sooner. I feel like such a Debbie downer lately on here.

*hugs* @emtmissy! I've dealt with panic attacks off and on for a few years now. They're horrible I hope you are able to find some relief. For me, Effexor (sp?) has been working well. Don't feel bad at all!
katespade HP and the cursed child is good after it gets going but nowhere near as good as the first 7 books. I think part of what is missing is JK's descriptions and how she really sets a scene and a mood. I liked it and am glad i read it but wish it was a true book with all of JK's insights and descriptions instead of just dialogue.
