I'm supposed to get together with a friend today for drinks, but am debating what time would work best. She'd prefer something earlier in the day, but DH isn't feeling great and needs to do some writing for school, so I think I may push it to this evening. DS1 has a playdate this afternoon with his bestie, so that should break up the day nicely.
Aside from that stuff, we're just taking care of laundry, groceries, and food prep. I think I'm also ready to get the Christmas tree taken down. We only have that and the outdoor lights left.
I'm debating going to the gym, but I think I'm going to take a rest day. I did 3 days this week, plus some skiing.
I came to Breck with DH and the boys. They’re skiing and I’m hanging out in the lodge. If it warms up a bit I might take the gondola into town and walk around. Right now it’s like 1* so I’m sitting here getting ready to watch Season 2 of You. We’ll be here until early-ish afternoon and then head home to watch football. We’re going to southern CO next weekend. Kind of random but I told DH we had to go somewhere and there’s a small ski resort down there that the boy’s have never been to. The 21st is the one year anniversary of my mom passing and I cannot just sit at home and think about it. So we’re packing the kids and the dogs up and heading out of town. I’m excited!

Went to body pump last night and instead of our usual Saturday morning definitions class (it’s a mashup of cardio and strength training) my bff and I went to a core training/Pilates type class since she had a hair appointment at our usual class time. I HAVE NO CORE STRENGTH. Lol. I need to go to this class more because I was sweating bullets even though the movements are so minor. Afterwards I went and bought swordfish and green beans for dinner tonight. Now I’m resting. My dad was diagnosed with melanoma recently-he had surgery to remove the remainder and some lymph nodes. He saw the oncologist yesterday and they think they got it all but he’s going to do some targeted therapy and will need a PET scan. So far so good?

Got a double ear infection/sinus infection, so taking it pretty easy. Got antibiotics last night. We're getting an ice/snow storm anyway, so I guess a good weekend to be stuck inside. DH and I are binge-watching The Morning Show, and I really like it so far.
I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about how when my parents are gone, I will only have my daughter. My sister lives far away and has no kids.
I haven’t dated anyone since I got divorced and I just keep getting fatter and older and uglier, so it’s highly likely I’ll be single forever. Once L grows up I’m going to be totally alone. Fuck

I have been super productive this morning. I decided on the dresses I'm taking to an OOT wedding in 3 weeks--I have one, and ordered a similar one online b/c the second one I originally bought in store I don't love. In my mid-40s, I don't want to wear clothes I don't love.
Then I returned "second dress" and picked up a ring I was having sized. I'm about to go to my counselor appt, and then I'm hanging with my boy b/c H is going to a bach party. We're having salad and ice cream for dinner, lol. We will definitely be eating the ice cream first b/c we're picking it up from DQ (E has never been to a DQ). We're going to watch Ant-Man and the Wasp--we've fallen down the MCU rabbit hole and are trying to catch all the flicks we missed the first time around.
Tomorrow I have to return a swimsuit in a city about 40 minutes away, and there's a activity place for the kiddos (ropes course, rock climbing, trampolines, Ninja course) in said city, so I'm trying to coordinate my bestie/bestie's son to meet us there. Hopefully it works out.
I hung out with my Bumble BFF friend last night. We went to a comedy show that was awful, but we still had a lot of fun. There’s a few events on meetup that I want to go to, but whenever I try to join, it says invalid member. I set up an account and joined the group, so I’m not sure what’s going on there.
It’s been so rainy lately and I really want to have a lazy day, but I really need to be productive today. I’m determined to get my bedroom set up. My couch should be delivered sometime this week, so I’m really looking forward to that!
We saw 1917 last night and it was incredible. It deserves all the awards.
Should probably go to the gym today. Otherwise just trying to relax and not stress about school starting again on Monday. I have 6 courses and a small job as an on-campus program manager for a software we have an academic partnership with.
I had 5 library holds come in today and I’m already sad that I’ll have to return most of them unread.
Oh and I did not get invited to the second round of interviews with the consulting firm. And I’m really ok with it. Obviously my ego is a bit stung, but I knew going in that it was a long shot and toward the end was wondering if I wanted it because I really wanted it or if I wanted it bc it was elite. And honestly I’m not sure I have the energy to be a consultant. It is NOT a profession that’s compatible with a 9pm bedtime. And I have an internship set up already that I am excited about and would have had to back out of if I got this one. So. I will just trust that everything is working out how it should.

Day 7 of hospital bedrest. Hoping and praying baby continues to stay in. I really want to make to at least 28 weeks, which is Tuesday. Longer is better of course, but Tuesday is my current goal. I can’t think beyond a few days at a time or I get overwhelmed and start to freak out.
We decided on a boy’s and girl’s name last night. Since DS also came early and we only had a boys name it feels weird to have both already figured out. We don’t know what we’re having so having both names figured out is exciting.
I’m still recovering from my bout with the flu - I was diagnosed with walking pneumonia yesterday so that’s fun. I feel like I’ll never be able to excercise again - I get winded doing things like vacuuming. It’s depressing.
I feel badly because it’s insanely warm for January this weekend but I don’t feel up to doing much. DH is away this weekend so it’s just me and the boys. We should be outside running around enjoying the weather, but instead they are playing video games while I lie on the couch.
I should get moving but I'm feeling pretty unmotivated. Plan is to get in a workout, shower, and then grocery shop. Also would like to get to the liquor store and dry cleaners, and take the dog to the dog park since the weather is nice.
But I'm still on the couch and it's 11:30 already.

I have all sorts of ideas on things to do AND time for them (shopping, hiking, housework, a movie, paint, read a book). Yet, these many options paralyze me and I am still in bed trying to decide what to do. I am so stupid. What I do know WILL happen is breakfast with bagels and lox and dinner at an African restaurant (seriously they are called African restaurant- I am not lumping african nations together). My life revolves around food I guess...
I’m working out this morning. Apparently it may or may not snow in the next couple of day and it supposed to get really cold. So I’ll get my groceries today instead of tomorrow. Other than that I’m hoping to be extremely lazy.

I'm definitely feeling middle aged at this point. My body hurts every time I play field hockey and I keep injuring myself. And then I can't workout. And so I can't do anything to keep myself from getting injured. I think I need to stop playing at the end of this season and just start doing things that are better for my body.
Busy day today. Had a will I notarized this morning, doing a closing next and another will at 3:30. I did not sleep well last night. Something is going on with my stomach or bowels. I think it is more my intestines, but that the area that runs near my ribs. I just feel icky. this has been going on several days and I know it has happened in the past. Maybe it is tied to my gallbladder? who knows. I will need to rest later.

I found out I was pregnant on Christmas, and I've felt like garbage since. I am so fucking tired, I'm randomly crying all the time, my ankles are already swelling, I can't remember shit.
I'm only 9 weeks in, can I just sleep through the next 7 months?

I know vaugebooking is a thing. But what's the equivalent called in real life when someone forces you to say what?. Person: Oh wow. Me: Silence Person: I can't believe it. Me:Silence
We had a crazy wind weather event last night and now my head feels like it's going to explode thanks to the pressure changes. UGH. I'm too uncomfortable to even fall asleep.

I don’t know. But I love ignoring people when they do that.

Same here. Yesterday to today is quite a difference! My head absolutely hates me though and nothing is helping.

I'm sorry, I know hockey's been a big part of your life.
I am at my SIL's wedding, near London. It is the first time I have met much of his family. I often forget he is British and we are from different countries, but being around only British people and being the one with the exotic (lol) American accent is kind of interesting! Eveyone is lovely though.

If I ever murder my husband it will be because of this. He did it last week when opening a piece of mail--"Oh, THAT'S interesting!" and then silence for a full minute after I asked what he was talking about. His excuse was that he was still reading the mail.
RAGE.
(the interesting thing was a toll bill from Austin--we live in Georgia and haven't been near Austin in five years)

It’s so warm here today (we’re in MA) that we went to the beach for a walk. I like the ocean in the winter. So many cute dogs there. Every time I see adorable dogs like that I want one. I’m turning 50 this month and I am really having a hard time wrapping my head around it. I’m not ready!
