I really need for it to be Spring. Yes, I know that according to the calendar it's Spring, but I need the actual Spring weather. Getting a few days here and there is all well and good, but I need to be warm. I'm so sick of the cold and the rain.
We are getting our solid surface showers installed starting today! *twirls* Our house was built in 1982 and has the original bathrooms with 4x4 tile and so much grout. I never want to see grout again and now I don't have to. We're also totally taking out the tub in DS's bathroom and putting in a walk-in shower. Thank you guys for the advice on that! It only took a week of arguing with H to get him to agree, LOL.
I had an allergic reaction on Friday night that was ridiculous. I had my normal hives, but then my face started swelling, which has happened before, but this was SO fast. I took a shit ton of antihistamines and seriously considered going to UC for about an hour. It finally started to subside but goddamn, that was weird and scary.
The weekends are too damn short. I feel like we were going all weekend, and neither got everything done nor really had time to relax. And DH leaves Thursday and will be OOT for almost three weeks, with our bathroom remodel starting in there on top of all of the regular stuff, and I'm just feeling particularly overwhelmed and blah this morning.
I need an attitude adjustment, and to give myself permission to stop feeling like every last little thing needs to be done.
Yikes wambam ! Do you know what you were having a reaction to?
Well, I think so, but I'm not sure. I went to this restaurant that was understaffed and pretty disorganized. I ordered a burrito with pork and a GF wrap. When I got my food, they forgot the pork and I had to ask for it. I would not be surprised at all if what I ate wasn't GF. But I don't know that for sure.
I'm back at work after being off with the kids for spring break. I caught a cold over the weekend and feeling just crappy enough that I'm hating being here but not bad enough to stay home. I did not miss work one tiny bit and really wish I could quit my job and SAH.

Ohhhh that stinks Are you feeling better?
I am - thank you for asking. Saturday, I still had hives and I took way more antihistamines than I care to admit. Throughout the day Sunday and this morning I feel a lot better.

I'm glad you are I have a friend who is allergic and sometimes her reactions are very strong. It's so scary!
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
My boss is going at full tilt this morning and I am... not ready for all of that. I think she scheduled her e-mails to me from this weekend, because I had like 6 hit all at 8am. Way to blow up my inbox!
Bright side is that she's going to be in meetings for most of the day over the next 3 days so I have time to get through all the tasks she gave me.
I made a copycat recipe of the Starbucks egg bites. They didn't quite turn out with the same texture, but they are still good. I didn't pack enough of them though.

My neighbor is putting up a fence on his property and when he was digging the holes for the posts on Saturday, he cut our cable line in the ground. So we've not had internet, cable or phone since then. They are coming out today, but I'm afraid that they think it's some kind of equipment issue rather than a line in the ground issue, even though I made sure the person I spoke to about it knew that. I'm anxious.
Were going to Mexico City for the weekend, we leave Thursday morning and I can’t fucking wait! Apparently, the jacaranda trees are in bloom and they look gorgeous!
It's my spring break this week and DH took a week of vacation so we are both home. We normally go somewhere over break, but we are trying to save money for our trip this summer, so we're staying home, but I'm kind of loving it. We're getting some house projects done, doing some political stuff, doing some fun stuff, just relaxing....it'll be nice.
I'm about to go get a massage with my birthday gift cards, and I am so excited!

just found it. lol My first thought was that I would maybe ask the B&B owner where they bought it because I have not seen it in stores near me and it is amazing. something like that.
Yesterday my kid was complaining about a headache. No fever, no other symptoms, just a headache. She's getting molars and top teeth, so we figure it's that. She didn't sleep well, so DH stayed home this morning with her to try and get her to sleep and see how she's doing.
He said she said she wanted to go to school. We've been giving her pain meds, but I hope she's not pushing herself too much. I'm expecting a phone call at some point today for one of us to go get her.
wambam I'm glad you're ok. Maybe it's time to talk to your doctor about an epi-pen? Allergic reactions with swelling around your face make me nervous. I have no personal experience with allergies, but my mom almost died very suddenly from an allergic reaction a few years back. It happened very quickly.
I feel like I'm always complaining about being tired lately. I really need to get my butt to the gym on a regular basis, because I think that might help, but I'm also always dragging so it's hard to get motivated/get up early. It sucks how that combo works together.
I went to a Fleetwood Mac concert last night. It was great, but I think I learned my lesson in cheap tickets. I was sitting on the side and missed a lot of the visual stuff because I was also high up, so there were big lights and stuff blocking the screen that showed all the effects. The music was fantastic though. I guess I didn't realize how many people are in the band and what amazing musicians they are.
I also stood in line for an hour to get in the door, which was frustrating. That venue only has 2 doors apparently and isn't very efficiently staffed. I missed the first 2 songs, which I was not happy about. I guess I should have headed over earlier, but it has never in my life taken even 30 minutes to get through a line at a concert so I had no idea it would take that long. H and I are going to see Trevor Noah there in a few weeks, so I'm glad I know better now.
I hadn't seen my brother since last year at this time, and sil has a conference in Orlando again this year so he tagged along. Last year we had fun eating out together and having some some outstanding meals, and last night we had an amazing dinner at one of this year's James Beard nominated restaurants.
Last year we ate at another restaurant by the same chef, (Norman Van Aken), and thought it would be worth it to try this one. It did not disappoint. My brother said that it was easily one of the best meals that he has ever had, which is good, because he paid for it and it was $$$. It was my belated birthday celebration/gift, (he missed being here for it by a week), and was well worth the wait. The food, drinks, service, and company were all perfection. I am still thinking about the food this morning.

I have had these reactions for almost 10 years and I've never felt like I couldn't breathe. I've been a little wheezy and various parts of me have swollen, but it's never affected my airway. But point taken!
I submitted an almost $60 million proposal on Friday last week, so it was just a really busy week getting ready for that. And, of course, I worked much later than normal on Friday to get it submitted.
I have another pretty hefty one due in a few weeks and I'm just over it. Work has been crazy for months now and I'm tired. I'm over people asking me for stuff and just piling things on. And I'm pretty unmotivated this morning because I just feel burned out. I want a week of laying on a beach with books and booze.
I need Spring to get here too. We got a few inches of snow over the weekend and I'm so over it. At least it's sunny today. I always feel so blah at this point of the year. I say every year I want to book a March/April vacation someplace tropical, but it never materializes. At least I have some a few fun get togethers coming up. Dinner with my hs friends this week, dinner with other friends next week and happy hour with my favorite coworkers. Plus DH's birthday is in a couple weeks so we'll have a nice dinner out, I'm sure.
I had like 3.5 beers last night while watching basketball w/ DH. I don't drink beer very often, but we made nachos and I felt like wine didn't go well with them. I'm feeling it this morning.
We got DS's neuropsych eval report Friday and I've spent the last few days reading and rereading it. She was amazingly thorough and did a really good job going over it all with us in the appointment Friday. She diagnosed him with ASD level 1, ADHD, Anxiety and Dyspraxia. None of it was really a surprise except the dyspraxia as this was mostly a second opinion to confirm diagnosis. I'm a little overwhelmed.
My mother in law really wants me to try accupuncture and is paying for me to do 1 session. Not looking forward to it but it seems important to her that I try 🤷🏻♀️

Why are you not looking forward to it? I actually found the session I did to be pretty relaxing. You may like it.
DH's uncle has done acupuncture on me a few times. He'll bring needles to family get togethers if you ask him to.
I just noticed a thumb-sized bruise on my chin. I have no idea how it happened, but it hurts to touch. My H said he noticed it last night but thought it was dirt - gee, thanks! You'd think that I'd remember doing something that caused a bruise on my face, but nope, I have no idea how it got there.
