Wed/Thurs Randoms

First day back at work and my allergies are attacking me. Fun times.

[OscarQ]

Sorry. I'm trying to figure out if I'm getting a cold or if allergies are kicking in. And I keep coughing myself into hiccup fits.

[mbcdefg]

I'm trying to use up everything that's in my freezer and pantry, so I thawed out some salmon fillets for dinner tonight. I don't particularly want them, hence why they were in the freezer for so long. And I don't know how good they look anyway.

[pixy0stix]

It's IT week! Bring on the scary clowns!

I watched the first episode of the new AHS season. Meh.

[Champagne Supernova]

Allergies here too. I just want to close my eyes and lay down. DH and I carpool so I'm waiting for him to finish up so he can take me home. I've been breathing in ash since the weekend but I should stop whining because I can't even imagine what it's like for those who live closer to the fires.

[Skyesthelimit1212]

Ugh, I'm sitting on an All Hands Web Meeting, and I don't give a crap about Sales and Marketing.

I made some amaaaaaaaaaaazing fish tacos last night. Super quick and easy. Yuumm.

ETA: It was from this cookbook. I generally don't buy cookbooks but my sister got it and I was flipping thru and nearly EVERY.DAMN.PAGE I landed on I was like "OOh, that sounds amazing!"

I would like to brag about my husband.

There are a few big wild fires burning near me, and Dh is a member of the animal relief emergency response team (it's connected to the CERT program in many communities). He has been devoting so much of his free time heading up to the evacuation shelters to make sure all of the evacuated animals are clean and cared for . I am so proud.

My Momma had NO IDEA the Grapefruit method was a real thing. She thought it was purely fictional and made up for the movie Girls Trip. I just sent her the video................I can't WAIT to hear her reaction.

My dog, Sidney, either has a intestinal blockage or kidney failure. He's only four years old and I can't shake the feeling that it's my fault for letting him those stupid chew toys and not knowing pecans were dangerous for dogs. I am sucky dog momma.

[pixy0stix]

My mom is convinced that it's the end of the world - fire, flood, and the anti-christ in the white house. I'm not at all sure that she isn't right.

[pixy0stix]

swsaradee, I'm sorry. You can't blame yourself for what you don't know.

She can't form a complete sentence. Every time she tries she BURSTS out laughing. All I could make out was " And if you are allergic to Grapefruit you can use an Orange?"

Do you all remember last year when I went to that first birthday party at the park, and discovered when I got there that (a) the hosts had not brought much in the way of food and beverage because they just figured people could go to the snack bar, and (b) the snack bar was closed that day, so all we had was cake, one small bag of chips, baby carrots, Jack Daniels and two bottles of warm beer?

Well, I just got an invite for Baby's 2nd birthday. This time she jokes about last year, says "we had a blast!" and says we were going to do it again. There's a reminder that there's a snack bar, and it finishes with ""we will likely have some cake."

That's a hard pass.

I just got asked how to set up a conference call... 10 min before the conference call was to happen.

My brain is already thinking she has something huge planned because she heard of all the comments from the last one.  LOL

So, my employee and I are sitting in the conference room across from our office because it's being repainted. Said conference room is right next to the server room.

The A/C just kicked on. It's now, like, 30 degrees in here.

My feet hurt so bad. For the past few years its mostly been my right foot (combination of bunion and PF) but now my left foot is acting up too and I'm kind of hobbling around the house.

I know I just need to call a podiatrist but for some reason I have a hang up about actually doing it.

[meshaliuknits]

I feel like I've been here forever, how is it only 1045am?!

[eponinepontmercy]

I finally saw the orthopedist about my hip pain. He says the xray and MRI don't show anything structurally wrong with the hip. I do have bursitis, so he is sending me to physical therapy. Fixing that might help the other pain. Meh.

He did say I don't have to stop running - just rest when I need to and listen to my body.

[redheadbaker]

I'm going to see Hillary Clinton!

That would be a no. These people definitely have not learned.  When they came to my election party, they brought an open bottle of shitty tequila that was about 3/4 of the way full. Nobody drank it.  The next day, I realized that it was gone. Like the physical bottle was not in my house. I think they left with it.

Me too! I just got tickets an hour ago.

I'm psyched!

I'm sorry! I hope his vet can give you some good news about helping him heal.

That is as trifling as motherfuckers who call you, don't leave a message, and then make comments about how hard you are to reach!

LIKELY have cake? Does not compute.
