My office is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month today- originally a few coworkers who actually are Hispanic were just going to bring in a little food to share, and then one of them decided to just bring in Chipotle catering for everyone. Not sure how authentic it was, but I am stuffed. Especially since I brought tres leches cake and had to have a piece of that too.
My afternoon is not looking particularly productive.

I have ants in my office. These teeny tiny ants. I didn't even know they came this small. If I leave anything out they are marching to get it, even if it's a plastic spoon I used and rinsed off. And one of the MFs bit me. I set out borax/terro traps but apparently they aren't fooled whatsoever by those. I've been in this office for six years and never had this problem til now. Gross.

I dealt with this and the only thing that helped was when the building treated the exterior.
My coworker is having an extreme NIMBY reaction to a new development, and I'm trying really hard to not snap at her.
How old is her house? I usually ask that or ask about how they have remodeled every room in their house when they say something about these "new houses with no character"? But recently I was feeling nice and mentioned, "yeah, it's sad that the habitat for wildlife is shrinking, I hope they just don't have large fences and aren't allowed those so the wildlife can still migrate through." That was as comforting as I could get.

SHE RENTS! The field is infield development that has been just sitting fallow for forever. It'll be nice to get it developed since it's going to be apartments rather than continuing the outsprawl with single family homes.
I can't get over what fanny packs are selling for these days.
Filed under, "things I never thought I'd say in 2017." We're looking for h's Halloween costume, lol.
Very good job following the "random" cue justrak! 😋
AND because I couldn't help myself Bernadine (see OP, purposely avoiding my ToDo list) this is the cheapest I could find after a brief (but still Way Too Long!) search on Amazon😌 Being junior, I'm not sure that it would fit your H's frame, but the mental image is cracking me up!!

That is good. I am amazed at how hard it is to get apartments and townhomes for a reasonable amount in your neck of the woods. A coworker moved from here to there and couldn't find any temporary (1-year) housing to figure out and save up to buy... they ended up staying on someone's couch for about 4 weeks after having looked for 6 weeks before and having two leases fall through at the last minute.

DH's birthday is Thursday, and I've been asking him for weeks if he wants to do anything. He finally asked me today to set up dinner or drinks with some friends. I set up a FB message with a whole long thing, sent it out, then sent out another message to say that it's not a surprise. My first message didn't go through so I just got a bunch of "what isn't a surprise" messages back. Good thing I only sent it to people that I don't mind looking like an idiot in front of. LOL
I'm all excited because I just bought pants from JC Penny.
Speaking of getting old, my birthday is next week and MH asked what I wanted. I feel bad asking for anything since his birthday a couple months ago was a bust ... he was depressed all day because his parents aren't around anymore, and we wound up getting into a really big fight for a stupid reason. I also didn't know what he wanted for a gift and didn't have a lot of money to spend so I feel like I sort of crapped out on that, even though we don't make a huge deal about gifts. There really isn't anything I want anyway - at most, maybe go to a big local flea market and have a nice lunch nearby. But, again, I feel bad asking for anything at all since his birthday was a complete failure.
I'm finally going to my doctor about my migraines next week. They're impacting my life too much and I'm tired of dealing with them. Not sure what can be done as the last med I was on was worse than the migraine (Imitrix) but we'll see. At least I'll have looked into it.

I had one working interview last Saturday, and one today. I'm going tomorrow to interview with a school for front desk/admin/teaching. The Saturday one was meh, today's was less meh but also not great. I know the people at the school, so I can have the job if I want. The hours are more, but the pay is less. But they match your 401k up to 20% and also do an ESOP.
I'm excited that I have 3 viable options, and one thatbim super excited about. And while all are still in my same field, helping students, and teaching is quite different and an exciting part. Plus, I will continually be learning, and that's where I thrive.
I had an EMG today. I need surgery on both of my hands.
FUCK YOU, 2017.
Oh dude, no. You need a break.
I basically expected this. I actually laughed when the doctor gave me the diagnosis. Everybody has said my symptoms should be getting better, but they aren't. I have almost no feeling in my middle fingers.
My OB is concerned about the "constant sense of doom" I have as a symptom of my anxiety. She's not wrong - I do have a constant sense of doom. And my anxiety is pretty severe. But I'm also over here, thinking, MY SENSE OF DOOM IS PRETTY FUCKING JUSTIFIED.
