I went to sleep at 8:30 and I’m pretty sure I passed out immediately. I still feel so tired though. I kind of wish I had told DH to go in and that I would stay home with DS1. I would really love to sleep for a couple more hours.
I had a bad dream last night and did that leaf/stream exercise that mrsukyankee posted. It totally worked! I’m impressed. I’m doing some more CBT stuff with my therapist on Wednesday and I have high hopes for it now.
I won a scholarship for the fee for a certification that I want to do. I totally forgot I applied. So now I guess I have to get on that and start figuring stuff out. They are changing the format this summer, so I really need to decide what I’m going to do quickly.

I took today off since DS has a pedi appointment in the morning and an ENT consult this afternoon. I finally switched pedis so hopefully this practice has a more competent office staff.
I’m already planning to stop at McDonald’s for french fries between appointments lol.
I was half hoping the district would change the two hour delay to closed, but nope. But DH did kid drop off so I only left a half hour late even though the government had a two hour delay as well, and so had an easy commute and got a good parking spot. PLUS my boss is unexpectedly out today, so it's honestly not bad for a Monday.
I'm annoyed with myself, I had planned to bake bread yesterday to go with beef stew from the freezer for dinner tonight, and totally spaced on it yesterday. I really wanted that bread!
I went to the doctor last week because I've been getting lightheaded and dizzy and it seems to be getting worse. My inner ears are extremely inflamed and I have fluid in my ears. I got a prescription to help with the dizziness but it makes me so sleepy there is no way I can take it during the day. I'm using flonase to decrease the swelling in my sinuses that will hopefully reduce the fluid in my ears. Flonase makes my nose bleed and I've already had several bloody noses this year. I am over winter and dry air.
I made the trek in to the office today in spite of the weather since I am already scheduled to work from home Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Of course, they're calling for a second bad weather system to move in this afternoon smack dab in the middle of my commute home, so I think I'm going to cut out early to get ahead of the weather. My commute home is normally 1.25-1.5 hours, and can easily be double that in inclement weather and I am so not in the mood.
I'm looking forward to the long weekend. I have off on Monday and H is taking off Friday and Monday so that we can work on the basement.I'm not taking off Friday because that's when he's going to be doing the bulk of the work, and frankly I'd rather not be there for that, because he gets pissy when he's doing work and it doesn't go his way, so I'd rather his Dad be there to deal with that LOL
I made a dinner reservation for Valentine's Day based off of the regular menu at a restaurant. Mostly, because I really wanted Snapper Soup and it's on their menu. After making the reservation, I realized that they might have a special menu due to the holiday and emailed the restaurant on 1/31 (I did try calling as well, but the person I spoke to was no help and suggested that I email the manager). They just responded last night that they're having a special menu, but didn't provide me with any details, and now it's too late to change our reservation because everywhere else that I would've wanted to go is now booked. FWP I realize.
My kid is being a jerk. We started new ADHD meds about 3 weeks ago. At first it seemed to be working but yesterday his attitude was atrocious so I took away his Switch. He has been glaring at me since noon yesterday with no let up. Stomping around the house, slamming things around. He dumped out all his legos on the floor and put a blanket over it, I think so I step on them? He tried hiding all my blankets (I WFH and use a lap blanket while I work) and put all the dog toys on my desk.
His med check is tomorrow, so at least there is that but its days like these that make me think I am really not cut out to be a parent.
I was selected for a senior level training class that is for 2.5 days. So far the entire thing has been a total cluster fuck.
They told us no rental cars, there's a shuttle. Well when I did a bit more digging I found out, it's not a class shuttle, but a hotel shuttle. I guess we'll just be prisoners in some airport hotel for the short time. Like how in the world do they expect us to get food or anything during class?
It's crappy weather here today too and I wish I could just stay home. I'm at home now, but need to go into the office eventually. My last day there is tomorrow, which isn't helping with my motivation level. I'm sure I can find some things to do, but my NEED TO DO list is pretty much done so I feel like I really could have had last Friday as my last day. Oh well. I really had no good reason to take 2 days off so being paid for them is probably for the best.
I had my book club last night and it was a lot of fun. I really like the women who are a part of it, and it's nice that we talk about the book for a bit and then generally just dissolve into conversation about other things. After 7 months here, lately I am finally feeling like I'm comfortable and settled here. I've done a lot of social stuff in the last month or so (and by a lot I mean 1-2 things a week, which is a perfect amount for me) and I'm getting more and more able to go places without GPS, starting to have "favorite" places, etc. I don't know if it quite feels like "home" yet, but I'm getting there.

Are they providing food? It seems like any time I've attended a training or conference out of town, most of the food is included.
Can you take a Lyft and expense it for dinners? That would be annoying not to be able to actually go anywhere

LOL I work for the government. There's no expensing anything outside of your per diem.
My I thought my altitude sickness was fine when I woke up, but it's been gradually returning. I do feel far better than I did last night, however. I haven't eaten a thing since half a sandwich in the airplane and I'm about to die myself to eat a granola bar.

I find that eating carbs makes me feel better since they are easier to digest. Also, try to drink a lot of water. Altitude sickness sucks. Where are you? When I was in Cusco the hotel had oxygen and 5 minutes on that had me feeling much better.
I'm back at work after been out since 2/1 when my dad died. I have no energy for this. People are acting like idiots and I just want to either hit them or go home to bed.

A 20-something coworker pegged his acid washed jeans today, like we did in the 90s. His jeans are tight, he has on giant steel toed boots, and his jeans are pegged leaving about an inch of his socks showing above the top of the boot. It’s quite the sight. For crying out loud, we are accountants in an office. Yes, our dress is business casual and nice jeans are allowed, but that’s not okay. It’s just ridiculous in a few different ways.
I slept like junk last night so this morning was rough. We started painting our kitchen Friday and we're about 90% done but everything is still all over the place so this morning trying to do our normal routine was all off. H is supposed to finish it tonight and I really hope he does because I need to start getting the house ready for DS's Bday party this weekend.
For the first time ever, I haven't even started planning for DS's birthday (March 21). We've always had huge parties for him but this year he's in a new school and 1) parties don't seem to be the thing and 2) he doesn't really have a good friend/friend group yet. I need to figure something out.

Some things (IMO a lot of things) would be better left in the 90’s.
I’m sick of house hunting and generally feeling discouraged. We saw eight houses this weekend. None of them would be wheelchair accessible for BIL to come visit without $10k+ in modifications. So we will have to lower our budget to account for that. Pretty much anything in our desired area in our new budget is older and will require quite a bit of work, and we just don’t have the cash flow for that. Ugh.

I had to google this and I can't decide if I do this (gasp!). When I wear boots, I roll the bottom of my skinny jeans to create a cuff. My socks don't show and the pants still cover a couple inches of boot.
But there is absolutely no dress code at my company. I could wear sweatpants and no one would give a shit.

wambam It doesn’t sound like you’re doing the same thing. This picture is similar, but his jeans are tighter and definitely pegged (not just rolled) higher than this. He looks ridiculous and I’ve heard a couple others snickering.
So I think H might have the flu or something. Came on fast yesterday with a terrible cough, chills and body aches and then a fever. so, i will be taking him to get swabbed or lungs looked at for pneumonia. if either is positive, then i will need to find time to pick up his work laptop because i told him I read that even if you are fever free with the flu, you can still be contagious. i need spring. And healthy people.
I did, however, already run my errand out to the girl scout store this morning with the girls and got them to school with three minutes to spare. Not too shabby!
And now I am really hungry. might go out to grab something to eat and then pick up gatorade for H.

I need skinny pants, in general, for men to go away. A few can carry it off. A few. but more than a few wear them. I saw a kid wearing jeans so tight he either had a large roll of quarters low in his pocket or he was showing the whole world the outline of his penis. It did not look good.

wambam, No, I don’t think that’s the same! Yours aren’t way above the boot and skin tight. I think yours look fine! I dislike skinny jeans on guys in general, but they do this guy no favors. He’s a bigger guy (not fat) and his legs are very thick and muscular. He works out a lot.
Our street is icy so my husband is working from home this morning again. He needs to head to work so I can watch Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and get some work done in quiet. He has so many meetings he has to dial into and is a LOUD phone talker.

We went to dinner at a new restaurant and the staff was all dressed like this. The manager who was at least 35 was wearing a suit with skinny rolled pants and inches of sock showing. It was in our unfunky suburb and my H and I were making jokes about the hipster factor. I just don't get it.

Yes!!! One "kid" at work only wears skinny pants and they are skin tight. it's awful.
Ugh I don't know what is wrong with my stomach today, but I'm getting really annoyed. I have felt yucky all morning, and I was just trying to eat my lunch and it keeps making me feel nauseous. I have overall felt kind of run down and nauseous all day so far, but eating makes it worse.
I'm working from home today, which I'm sure is fine but I feel bad about since it's my 2nd to last day working this job. I just couldn't get motivated to head into work while feeling yucky. I really hope this passes. I need to go in tomorrow and finish up a few things, and I start my new job Wednesday so I REALLY can't be sick then.
I'm in a local FB group and there is a woman that posts in there incessantly. I don't think she can make a single life decision without polling the group. She also has to respond to or comment on 90% of the other posts in the group. I'm not friends with her or even know her IRL, I only "know" her through the group. Today she posts in the group about how she "shouldn't even bother giving advice since everyone always jumps down her throat" and how if you disagree "you should just scroll on by." Someone asked what she was referring to and she mentioned two posts from the past couple of weeks where people had asked for advice or a recommendation and she had responded and then someone else came along and gave differing advice or a different recommendation. Yes, that someone was me (although she didn't call me out.) So she has put in a complaint with the page admin because *someone* disagreed with her on 2 posts over the past 3 years we've been in this group. I was not argumentative, in fact, I was responding to the people that posted in the first place which wasn't even her. Not everything is about you bitch.
I'm so ashamed that I've written a post this long about FB drama with someone I don't even know, but I had to get that out.

It is not even 12:30 on Monday and I feel like I've done at least a whole week's worth of work. Yesterday is a year since my sweet dog died and tomorrow is a year since we found out my H has cancer. I hate 2018.
