I don’t really know how I did this, but I planned a weekend trip with a friend in May for us to get away from our families. I just realized that the day we check out is DS2’s birthday. I don’t think they’ll change the reservation at this point. How bad would you feel about not seeing your kid on their birthday until about 1pm?
Not that bad. It’s not like you’ll miss the whole day.

We spent $400 at the bird store today buying various feeders and a pole system. 20 year old me would not believe it.
I had my IUD removed in October and am having real periods for the first time in 30 years. I hate it! I don't want another IUD since DH was snipped and I feel too old for BCP. Bring on menopause!
A friend teaches group fitness on Saturday mornings, that I usually go to. I went to class this morning and found a few friends there with coffee, treats and flowers to celebrate my last day at work, which was yesterday. It was so fun and we were able to do class outside because it's so nice here! My in-laws also dropped flowers off as a congrats for moving on to my new job. It has been a great day so far
I got a few gifts and cards at work yesterday from co-workers and my husband was cracking up that someone got me conditioner and curl activator -- I spent a lot of quarantine learning how to really take care of my curly hair, which inspired one of my co-workers to do the same, so we were always sharing products that worked or didn't. I loved it and can't wait to try them.
My master plan to leave my full time job and go into private practice is humming right along!
I bought the dip powder nail stuff that was recommended on here and I did it last night. They look soooo good! I’m thrilled! Was that spindle92 who rec’d it? Whoever it was, thank you!
If I am remembering right, you are in mental health? Glad it's going well. I'm in PP with mental health and I really enjoy it. We can chat sometime and I can answer any questions.
Today is pretty quiet. It's rainy and cold here so I went to yoga and the grocery store. We just got back from vacation so we needed all of the food. I am going to a movie by myself and I'm so excited. It's my first movie theater since Covid.
My antibiotics are working fine and I hope I'm on the other side of my first sinus infection. The headaches were the absolute worst and I had to be on steroids, allergy meds and the antibiotic. I hate taking all that medicine but I had no other choice.
Does anyone have dreams where your H is an asshole and then wake up mad at him?
He made up for his fake transgressions this morning though. Didn't wake me up until 10, fetched starbucks, and made pancakes.
This happens to me occasionally, but I get accused of it way more often then it has actually happened. Basically, if it happens once, he'll bring it up again and again, and then decide that it happened each time he brought it up. LOL! Luckily, he thinks it's funny, so it's not actually a big deal.
I went to my first kickboxing class this morning. It was fun but I'm hoping I won't be too stiff/sore tomorrow. Anyone have any recovery tips for after an intense workout?
Drink lots of water, what about food and stretching? thanks.

We ended up ordering a king bed today. Likely 3-4 months to come in which is to be expected right now. Now we just need to find a mattress we like. I am so exited to have a king bed!!

Do you have a foam roller? I like using that when I anticipate my muscles being stiff. You could take a walk or something in the morning if you feel stiff or sore. I try to avoid static stretches once I’m already cooled down.
I’m so depressed. And the weather sucks, and my H is working a TON. I feel so badly for my kids. Ugh. And XH is being his normal flaky shitty self, so DS probably isn’t going AGAIN, which just throws everyone off (we love having him extra and he’s better off here, but the changes in schedule mess with everyone).

I do!! After I posted DH reminded me he picked up a recovery kit on clearance when we were Easter shopping. it had foam roller, rubber ball and foot roller. I used it a little while ago. Thanks. I definitely plan to walk. I was actually thinking about doing a small walk this evening. I walk every day so I am itching to go.
I went for a massage for the first time in a year and a half and I felt like I was getting beat up on the table. I had so many knots and it was just painful to be worked on.
I think next time I go in I’m going to ask for just a nice, nurturing, relaxing massage. Leave my knots alone - just let me relax and unwind.
A held a baby goat today, and it fell asleep in my arms. Squee!
Does anyone know if we're allowed to share links to events here? I've been volunteering with a terrific nonprofit that's hosting an online trivia night (hosted by TriviaHub) in May; I would love to share the link, but I don't know if that's allowed. I know at least one of the boards frowns upon sharing business stuff, and I don't know if this is too close to that. It would be cool to see a GBCN team of people from across the country. Donations are encouraged, but tickets are actually free.
I just went into the camper for the first time since last fall, and our kitchen faucet completely broke off. So that will be fun to deal with. We leave in two weeks for our first weekend trip.

The last few times I’ve ridden in the car with H I’ve gotten motion sick within minutes. Today I googled and learned it’s because of the pandemic. I’ve been in a car so infrequently in the last year that my body no longer knows what to do. So weird and annoying.

We went to the Illinois memorial for victims of covid-19 yesterday evening. It is really beautiful. We took our kids to see it, too - it just felt important to do so.
I thought I’d share some pictures. The wings represent each county in IL, the ribbons about 4 people who have died, and the lights are for our continued remembrance and the enduring nature of light, even in darkness.
Visitors are encouraged to tie a ribbon on the fence in loving memory of people who have died, as well as a way to remember everything we’ve lost. We, thankfully, have not lost anyone to covid, so we tied our 4 ribbons on in honor of the people we’ll never meet or know, my daughter’s school year, visits with family, and fun with friends.
I’ve been in a bad place lately, so the visit kind of helped me remember that I’m not alone. I’m glad we went.
I didn’t get to sleep in this morning because I stupidly scheduled DD for a haircut at 8:30. He hair looks great though, she needed it bad. I’m scheduled for a cut and color on Wednesday and cannot freaking wait, I haven’t had my hair done since Sept 2019.
DS and I started some seeds today but I seem to kill everything I touch so I’m not hopeful.
I have no plans to do anything tomorrow. It’s supposed to rain and I plan on drinking a lot of coffee and watching a lot of tv.
I hate when your day starts out fine and then ends on a bad note.
Pretty sure my cat has a UTI so my H had to run her over to the vet, which means he’s sitting in the car waiting and hungry. I feel bad about that but someone had to do that while the other stayed home to make dinner and watch DD. I had planned on making spaghetti with meat sauce but then realized when I went in the pantry to get the pasta we had none! We just picked up groceries this morning. Why didn’t I check to make sure we had some before I placed the grocery order? I feel like a dunce.

I would say most of my patients that stay on a birth control method through menopause are very happy haha. A lot use depo injection, IUD, nexplanon or pills (combined hormonal or progesterone only). If your periods are giving you trouble or you don't want to deal with them might be worth it to look in to your options!

A few years ago I had 1 or 2 dreams that he cheated, and I woke up so mad at him.
I had a dream a week ago that the dog destroyed the new couch, and I had to go check the couch when I woke up. I guess some of them just feel very realistic to me.

Great news! I can move today haha. I'm a little sore but nothing horrendous.
I was so nervous because one time i did a total body workout online. I only did 12 mins of a 30 min workout and couldn't walk for 3 days. It was bad! Yesterday, I wasn't even thinking about what I was doing because I was just having fun and focused on the movement and punching and kicking propery. At the end during cool down, I was thinking I should've taken it a bit easier. I plan to do an easy walk today and keep drinking a lot of water. I have another class tomorrow and was hoping to be able to join. I think the roller helped.

Nice! I love kickboxing. I really miss my Muay Thai gym in Charleston. Everything I could find here was either too serious or too “YMCA soccer-mom kickboxing”. My old gym was an awesome mix.
