I have a baby shower to attend and I can't tell you how much I don't want to go. It's gonna have the insipid games we always tell everyone "omg no games" but they have anyway.
I'm a real joy this morning. lol.
My mom found a 'liberal' church (around here even ones that are supposed to be rarely are) for me that appears to be inside of a brewery. I'm intrigued. I don't even like beer that much but the concept is interesting.
ETA: Jesus Christ that shower was painful. They had so many “wrote this to the baby” “write a thoughtful note when the baby is 5, 16,21” etc. I CANT BE THOUGHTFUL ON THE FLY!!

I need ham like water Like breath, like rain I need ham like mercy From Heaven's gate Sometimes ham salad or casserole or ham that’s free range, all natural I need ham
I'm getting my eyebrows waxed for the first time since we moved here in July! Between our move, starting a new job, getting the kids settled, and being sick on and off it just kept getting bumped to the bottom of the list. I finally decided that enough was enough yesterday, got a recommendation from a colleague, and am leaving for the salon in 5 minutes. Yay!
Today is the 11th anniversary of the passing of my dear husband. I want to thank all of you who were there at the time helping me. You were who I turned to first in those early hours. God bless you.

I have not heard from the job and I am annoyed and it has been 3 weeks now! I am not doing much today, I am going to take my mom to store to get her phone and tablet fixed since they both have cracks on the screen and that is pretty much it
I feel like shit. I am fighting a cold, have weird rib/back pain (this has been an ongoing issue since my first pregnancy) and I’m super bloated from IVF injections. Yesterday was my anniversary and we went out do dinner with DS and he was so obnoxious. My temper is short from being in discomfort. I let him eat Oreos for dinner just so he’d be quiet for 2 minutes. Mom of the year.
I ate too much again at dinner last night. I think because I'm being so careful during the week, my stomach dislikes it even more if I indulge on the weekend. Stupid. I feel mostly better this morning. Gonna try to hit the gym this morning and then no plans for the rest of the day.
I just have to say, my dog can be a real pain in the ass sometimes and a true asshole. But she really loves me and it kills me. Like I'm sitting in the office this morning and she's in here laying (lying? I can NEVER get that right) right next to the desk chair instead of out on a bed in the living room with H and Stellabear. She always looks for me around the house. It just gives me the warm fuzzies.

I did this yesterday! I usually do them myself, but life craziness kept pushing it to the bottom of the list. Best money spent!
I’ve been out of town the last two weekends, so I’m so happy to have a day at home. DH is currently making french toast and I plan to have a good veg day!
I don’t know what is wrong with my kid, she is being the biggest asshole right now. I already told DH I was going out for a few hours this afternoon by myself. She will not listen to me at all.

Just took a spin class and now have to get DS ready for soccer. I have been so stressed at work I haven’t been sleeping well or working out. I feel gross and really need to get myself back in to a routine. Less drinking, better eating and working out.
DS spent the night at the ILs because I had to take DH to the airport for a 7:30 flight. I’m leisurely getting ready to go get him and take him for our flu shots. Excited for a low key weekend with some energy to finally do things again. Maybe I will get over this mono???

I thought that you couldn't get a flu shot when you had mono.
Mono takes a long time to 'get over '....it is a really slow recovery and the less you push it the better.

I’ve had it for weeks, but was finally diagnosed last week. I’ll confirm with the pharmacist, but I’m feeling much, much better. And by “energy to do things” I mean going to buy groceries and maybe fold a load of laundry, nothing too wild 😉

Yup, wait until your mono is completely gone then get the flu shot

But how do you know when the mono is completely gone? Do I go back for a blood test? My doctor just said rest, lots of fluids, and treat the symptoms with OTC stuff.
Lazy day here just me and the kids since DH is OOT, mustered the energy for waffles and bacon for late-ish breakfast this morning, and then we've spent the rest of the morning reading and playing legos.
Theoretically we're going to visit a local historical thing AND go grocery shopping this afternoon, but it doesn't really seem like anyone wants to.

H has been in a band for eight years. He let them know back in August that, effective mid-November, he’d be quitting to focus on teaching because the schedule is more family-friendly for the baby and me. He wanted to give them ample time to find a new guitarist. They agreed his last day would be November 16.
They told him last night that they’re letting him go a month early so they can start the new guitarist because he’s getting “antsy.” This is after 8 years of H being the ONLY band member that has stayed, rehearsed every week, and never cancelled a gig. He routinely needs to wait a week to deposit his paychecks because they are financially irresponsible, and this is how they leave him, because they assume we don’t need the money. (We don’t, but it’s not like he’s playing at the fucking fishing club just for fun.) They were shocked at his anger last night.
H has now banned me from his last gig, which I was planning on attending, because he thinks I will murder the band leader. He’s not wrong. However, I’ve instructed H to deposit his last paycheck the night he gets it because he is “antsy.” Fuck them.
Canvassing this morning, baby shower in the afternoon. The baby shower is at my neighbor's, and earlier this week when I was traveling I ordered her gift and shipped it to her house. She messaged me and thanked me, and asked if I was still coming. YES I'm coming, I just didn't feel like wrapping your gift, OKAY. That was actually an opportunity to be like, "Oh no I had a last minute thing come up!" and I didn't take it. Dammit.
I have to make a final decision on a master bedroom paint color today. I really want Hale Navy but I'm worried it will be too dark. The room gets plenty of light and we are literally only in there at night so I think Navy would be cozy.

Is the weird rib/back pain intense? If so, have your gallbladder checked. I had the same thing with my 1st pregnancy and ended up in the hospital 3 months post partum. Mine didn’t present normally so it wasn’t caught until it was an emergency.

Check with you doctor. Blood tests will tell you, but your body is still fighting it after you test clear, and isn't necessarily in optimal condition for immunizations for awhile.

I would make sure you have plenty of lamps in the room. I painted my office a bright navy and I LOVE IT but it really darkens the space a lot. Fortunately I have an overhead light and a lot of lamps so it's not a big deal.

I painted one of our guest rooms navy (Benjamin Moore Newburyport Blue) and I love it. And it doesn’t get a lot of light. But is very pretty and cozy.
My anxiety has become almost unmanageable. I don’t sleep, I don’t laugh, I can’t even enjoy spending time with L. I don’t want to do anything. I don’t even like listening to music anymore. My stomach is always sick so I can’t eat. I don’t know what to do.
jezebel - Please talk to your doctor. If you have an EAP, you may be able to find a therapist or your PCP could prescribe something. You are worth it. If making a phone call for an appointment is too much (and I know how that feels), maybe a friend could call for you. Hell, I’d call for you.
