hamster where did you hide your pills?? Also that just sounds like a cruddy visit and hopefully you are all set for another THREE years. I like the idea of neutral place in the future.
milsaroo - boo for jobs. I was so burnt out in 2015 so I feel for ya (not that I'm fired up now, but...)
It sounds like we all (or most of us) need a big healthy drink and some time at the spa. Let's GO! Virtual meetup at local spa of our choosing? Anyone?
@shoegal deep in a drawer in my office. Even if she initially opened it she wouldn't have seen without opening all the way and moving my chair. They are all accounted for though.

Hugs hamster. I hope you had a good drink or several last night after she left. Pom I hope you feel better soon.
Sorry for the dump ahead.
I'm absolutely exhausted. This week has been just short of a disaster and I'd like to ask for a do over. Monday I was at a conference about an hour and a half away and came down with a stomach bug. I did attend most of the sessions that day. My DH and a friend had to come rescue me and my car because I couldn't drive home after work though. Tuesday I basically just laid on the couch and forced myself to eat some toast. Also Tuesday we found out FIL had a heart attack and overnight got progressively worse. We ended up buying DH a ticket back home at 2am for a 6:30am flight. FIL is doing okay and is stable now thankfully. So Wednesday I had a prenatal visit and all is well there, thankfully. I was supposed to go into work but I ended up working from home since I may have gotten 2 hours of sleep the night before. Now I'm going into work and am still tired and my boss is going to be the biggest spaz all day and I just don't have the energy to deal with her shenanigans all day. Oh and I'm 38.5 weeks pregnant so a friend happily agreed to stay nights at my house because I'm terrified of going into labor at this point.
(((((( bostonmichelle )))))) that seriously sounds like the word week EVER (except for prenatal visit on Wednesday, yay for growing bebe!) I have a feeling she is going to want to stay inside your belly with this bullshit cold out, for at LEAST another 10 days
She sent me a text this morning saying that she's really not stupid and "it's my thyroid and iron levels that make it difficult to focus and concentrate." One, she's always been bad at directions (yesterday reminded me the great 'zoo exit' saga of my childhood) and two, do your levels make it you secretly rifle through my meds? Regardless I don't have anything to say in response.
I'm kind of wishing I had left them out so I could confirm 100% what she's up to. It's my mom, so I want to believe I'm wrong, even though I don't think I am.

bostonmichelle, big hugs. I am glad to hear that FIL is stable and all is well with the baby.
i am *almost* through the busiest of wedding season. I am exhausted. With all the rain in CA, the start date for dh's job has been pushed back again. The imbalance sucks.

Big hugs for all of the ladies here that are having a rough time.
Pom , H has terrible allergies and had something similar happen to him a year or so ago. He also was prescribed steroids for several days. It took probably 2 days on them before it finally started to subside. We never did figure out what caused it either. Hope you are getting some relief soon!

I was supposed to road trip to Anza Borrego today but one of my idiot neighbors decided to shoot something at 3:30am and I could not go back to sleep. ARGH!!!! I have no idea what they were shooting at but since there were no screams or animals squealing I figured it must not have been that important.
I've been so busy so my random is a few days late.
I scheduled a hair appointment for Tuesday and when I arrived, the stylist was gone for the day. Apparently she wrote me down for the wrong day. Grr.
So I go home. It's been a long day and I just want to relax. It's the first night that I've gotten home at a halfway decent time in about a month. I pull up and MY MOTHER IN LAW'S CAR IS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. Apparently she texted my husband Monday morning to say that she wanted to stop by Tuesday evening but he never responded so she decided to just go ahead and pop by even though she lives 2 hours away... And to make all of this even better, she lectured me about how I never make it to their family functions (which they don't even consult with us about the date and it always conflicts with our stuff) and how I'm badically keeping H from his family and then she proceeded to make snarky remarks about how I (1) wear heels to work and only dumb, insecure women do that (2) wear dresses like a snobby woman (3) am too responsible with money (4) haven't given her grandbabies (5) work too much and put too much of the house responsibilities on her son. FUCK YOU. I'm still wound up about it all!
I'm in a personal finance management class for my final year of college. We are doing balance sheet problems and I'm judging imaginary people/situations for having 13k in cc debt, 3k in cash, and a 15k surplus of cash at the end of a year. LOL. Like no Chris and Judy, you pay that shit off and eat ramen.
You know what I find ridiculous? That sympathy cards have glitter on them. WATF. I don't want to open a card that I have to clean up after. I'm looking at you Hallmark.
steph96, was this all in front of your H? Did he participate in this conversation?
I am so sorry she was so horrible to you. What a bitch.
The comment about wearing heels and dresses happened when I went to the bedroom to change. He made a comment back to her about professional jobs requiring professional attire and how he thinks I look nice. When she said something about how it must be hard on him because I'm working so much and he's having to do everything and doesn't get to relax, I told her that wasn't the case. The money comment we both just ignored because we decided that anything even halfway financial is off limits with her. The babies comment was made during a story that hit so many of H's hot buttons (it was bad!!) so I don't think he noticed it--his response to that story resulted in her suddenly needing to leave.

Glitter on cards is a huge pet peeve of mine, but having to deal with them on sympathy cards is a special kind of pain in the ass.
I had a great MM day - bonuses were recently paid out and I didn't check my stub until today & received MORE than I estimated after Uncle Sam took his cut *and* I did our taxes today so we ended up in the green by a few hundred bucks there too (net state and federal). I am donating the total "extra" between the two to one of our local charities and they are going to be psyched when they get the check!
AND I absolutely killed it monster style at the gym this morning. AND we have yummy dinner plans for tonight. HAPPY FRIDAYYYYY!
