For some reason I was possessed at the gym last night and started the C25K program. I'm 90lbs overweight. I don't know wth I was thinking LOL I was a runner years ago, and had started then also doing C25K. We'll see how it goes. I've been walking for 2months now and I guess just felt ready for the next step. We'll see how it goes.
Today would have been my grandmothers 97 birthday. It still doesn't seem real that she's gone. She was my last living grandparent and I know that I was lucky to have her for as many years as I did (I was 41 when she died) but it still hurts. I know that in time the hurt will be less, but even now, 18months after she died, it still feels raw.
“With sorrow—for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection—we dissent,”
I'm at maximum job burn out, but haven't gotten so much as a "thanks, but not interested" response for any of the jobs I've applied to. Ugh, I'm ready for the weekend already.
I gave 2 weeks notice at a job I've been at for 8 years on Friday, and it kinda feels surreal. I'm excited about my new opportunity and I've totally checked out of this place already. I wish I could pack up my desk and just leave right now!
Good luck, @sameoldstory! I hope it feels good to get back into it.
My mom ended up missing her flight yesterday, so I brought her back home and she hung out with the boys some more and I made dinner. I was a little bummed we didn't get to go to the jazz thing, but it was good for the boys to get to spend more time with her.
I just realized I've been in this job 4 years, which, with the exception of my part-time college job that turned into a full time management position, is the longest I've been anywhere so far. In some ways, I feel like I should move on, but mostly I'm just happy to be comfortable where I am.
It's the last week of school and I'm only working 3 days, woot! I'm not working a full week of work until the 3rd week of July based on vacation/leave planned.
This is my last week of work, and it feels so sad and weird. I'm completely burnout with the management here, but I will genuinely miss my coworkers... but I guess it says something that they are all I will miss about this place. I'm excited and nervous to start doing the SAHM thing, but I am hoping I'll find the three of us a routine pretty quickly and not completely lose my mind in the process. Plus my BFF who lives a couple of blocks away is a SAHM, as is my one cousin, my oldest sister, and my middle sister is home three days a week, so I will have plenty of interaction. It's just fear of the unknown, I think, and the suspicion that I've never felt like I could hack it as a SAHM... but I guess I need to stop thinking that way and making it harder on myself. So many feelings!
namasteak I saw in the other randoms thread that you had your baby - congratulations!
Well, as mentioned in the other thread, my day has been a shitshow so far, but with the exception of probably working through lunch, I think it should be comparatively smooth sailing from here on out.

I'm 99.9% sure my MIL has been committing fraud on tax returns. I'm not a tax expert (neither is she, I thought she was a CPA this whole time as she owns an accounting firm), but what she is saying does not sound right to me. Does anyone know if CPAs have free consultations? I really just need to ask one question. The whole situation is shit show.

Also, I found a dream house that I want/we both love. It even has a secret garden type thing. The backyard is 1300 sq ft and the house is 1600 sq ft. It would be so perfect for us.
For the second year in a row, I've forgotten about my annual gyn exam and had sex the day before. *face palm* So fingers crossed I don't get an abnormal pap because of it.
Do not use vaginal medicines, spermicidal foams, creams, or jellies, or douche for 2 to 3 days before the test or for the time set by your health care provider. Avoid sex within 24 hours before the test.

Thank goodness the first half of the day has flown by. This has been the Mondayiest Monday in a long time.
We had a "wedding" Saturday night. The couple got married at city hall so this was really just the party/give us gifts. It was ok, but way too long. They had an hour and a half cocktail hour, which of course I know no one, and DH either doesn't know or get along with most of the people from his work. We had a lot of standing around talking to each other. Thankfully it was open bar, but still wasn't worth it. We didn't have dinner until almost 8, then felt bad leaving at 10 but DH (thankfully) had to work the next day. There was no AC, and the name tag for the seating chart said "Mr. and Mrs. soon to be (insert position DH will test for in a few months) his first and last name". My head almost exploded when the controlling MIL handed us the tag congratulating us on our upcoming wedding as she just saw soon to be mr. and mrs. We don't have the same last name, which the groom knows. It's a stupid complaint, but don't encourage DH to think I'll be Ms. or Mrs. his job if he's promoted. Ugh sometimes I really hate people in his field for these stupid we're so much better than every other professions.
I didn't bring lunch. I should really run out but even after sending a ton of emails I'm still well over 100. I just want to catch up for good.
I also need a new book. I need to read two more this month to get back on goal. I just read two Jane Green's in a row so I need something different, not fluffy and formulaic. I keep picking at "The Miseducation of Cameron Post" but it's just not interesting almost 100 pages in. I might try "Why Maddie Ran" if I can find it, open to recommendations though.
Add me to team didn't know you're not supposed to have sex pre-pap. My last one came back with something they didn't follow up on. I think I have a slight issue that I shoudl call about, but wonder if it was due to doing something pre-apt. If only they'd send you a reminder a week before with do's and don't's...probably makes too much sense.
I went to my 20th college reunion this weekend. I had the best time - I’m very close to some of my college friends but we are all spread out and don’t physically get together often. At least we know every five years we get a few days together at our alma mater. It was so nostalgic and fun, but man I’m too old for staying up until 3 AM 3 nights in a row and drinking champagne on the quad for 15 hours straight lol. And I just got an email from the nonprofit I’m on the board of that they are taking formal headshots for our website at our board meeting tonight. Think I can get away with wearing sunglasses in the photo?

We had a blast this weekend visiting friends in Milwaukee and going to a concert. I ate and drank way too much and feel sluggish and blah. I made myself go for a hike this morning since the weather is perfect and that helped me feel a bit better.
I'm 99.9% sure my MIL has been committing fraud on tax returns. I'm not a tax expert (neither is she, I thought she was a CPA this whole time as she owns an accounting firm), but what she is saying does not sound right to me. Does anyone know if CPAs have free consultations? I really just need to ask one question. The whole situation is shit show.
On her tax return or on other peoples' returns? Either way, that could be a mess.
I have not run into CPAs that give advice save friends/family. You can call the IRS advice line, I have had success with that in the past for my job (I use to help international students apply for tax ID numbers).
My 12:30 interview candidate brought her infant with her. Sigh. I rescheduled her interview to tomorrow morning, but I am torn. She said her babysitter called off this morning, which I am sympathetic too. But she already rescheduled once because she had to take her niece to basketball camp (like, what?). So she definitely has m phone number, she could have just called to reschedule again. She came highly recommended by another hiring manager so I will give her another chance, but man - that was a first.

Definitely others, but my main concern is my DHs returns. The IRS advice line is a good idea, thanks!

Was the baby fussing? I would think you could have interviewed her with the baby there, no? She probably didn’t want to reschedule again so she came as she could.

nospeake that sucks. I'm starting to realize that I've only heard from one job, which I don't think I'll get. Like you I haven't heard anything, even like a hey we're still looking. Granted it hasn't quite been a month, I started applying around mid-May, and my industry is super slow, but I'm losing hope. I hope things get better for you.

Not really, no. I get not wanting to rescheduling, but I don't think just showing up with the baby was the way to go.

Nextdoor is hilarious, this —20 year old is all bent out of shape that her “business posts” (aka MLM) kept getting taken down. She’s all hair tossing “y’all haters don’t want to support local business” and I am dying laughing. I’m glad nextdoor doesn’t suffer that MLM bullshitty foolishness.

DS woke up sick. We knew he wasn’t feeling well because he went down for his nap 2.5 hours after he woke up.
When I went to get him from that nap, he was shivering so I took his temp. 102. I called the ped and they told me to give him Tylenol and monitor. The Tylenol helped for a few hours and then his temp went back up. We gave him another dose and he’s back down to 100 and finally really napping.
I have a feeling we’re gonna be taking a trip to urgent care tonight though. I feel so sad for him. He’s never been sick before.
@sameoldstory - today is my grand mother’s birthday, too. She would have been 84.
Great job on the run! I started running again in a similar way last week. Just decided to go for it.
My random - since deciding to go for it, I’ve brought my mile time down by 30 seconds. It’s a good start, but I now feel like those “Everything hurts and I’m dying” tee shirts I see at the gym all the time.

Monitor his breathing, but if the fever is responding well to tylenol, I would let him rest as much as possible. Can he take ibuprofen yet? (I can't remember when that is allowed) it tends to work better on fevers, imo.
