Both of my organizing jobs for this weekend were rescheduled. I thought about trying to fill one of them, but decided instead to give myself a weekend off. Yay! I think I might take L prom dress shopping tomorrow. Dd is coming along with us, and we’re all super excited!
Last night we went to a new neighbors house for groundhog day party lol. It was so much fun. We only vaguely know the neighbors and didn't know anyone else. But it was a lovely night. Everyone was easy to talk to. One of those things where you feel like one person seperated from each person you talk to. Oh you do this, do you know so and so?
I drank red wine, which I haven't drank for a looong time. I woke up with the absolute worst headache. I don't even think I drank that much although sometimes it can sneak up on you when someone else is filling your glass.
Anyways bit of a struggle bus start to the day, ugh. Totally worth it. I just now know I need to not have mor than a glass of red. It really makes my head throb.
We have a guy coming for a bit to give us a quote on windows. Our windows are original to our 100 year old house. Who knew there were so many options for windows lol.
It's so cold here like so many other places. I have to go to the doctor for my yearly physical in a little bit and I'm dreading being in the cold office!

I just posted this in the wrong thread for like 30 seconds so sorry if you already think I’m weird.
You know how we all have little self soothing mannerisms we do without thinking? One of mine (this is weird) is that I squeeze and release my two … whatever the 2 lines under your nose is called … I squeeze them together. Anyway for the last few days (and this is making me obsess about it more) I have caught and pulled a hair that I estimate to be at least an inch long. But when I look for it in the mirror I cannot find it. So now I’m walking around wondering if that’s all people see and if someone’s going to try to wipe the “loose” hair of my face.
I used to know what they called. Begins with a “v.”
eddy some types of red wines just fuck with my head and some are just fine. Beajolais have fewer tannins and tend to sneak up on me less, whereas I'm fucked if I have a glass of merlot.
I've wanted to volunteer more for years and have done a few activities here and there with the kids. I just signed up to organize a volunteer event for local college alumni, which is definitely out of my comfort zone! I live 10 hours away from where I went to school, so it will be fun to meet some new people!
I've been doing Peloton workouts since the start of the pandemic and I just tried Tread bootcamps for the first time and I am in absolute love. I didn't realize 30 minutes of my ass being kicked could go by so quickly.
I'm off today. Last night I made and individually packaged 48 polar bear cupcakes for pizza day at my son's school today. It's Catholic Schools week and they had such a fun day planned. I planned to enjoy every bit of silence alone today. The stomach flu has taken down so many at the school that they moved to half day. Pizza day cancelled. Wah! Now I'm taking his friend home with us so her Mom doesn't have to leave work. Instead of my nice quiet day the dog will be going bonkers while they work on a school project they have. Building a machine?!? It's just not the day I had planned! LOL
I am so sick of people pointing out the obvious. I have a giant cold sore, bigger than I've gotten in a while. My mom came over yesterday, looked at me, and said "geez that's a big one". Like no crap, I have mirrors. I admit that this bothers me because I feel completely self-conscious when I have one. I've also been getting them much more frequently in the past 3 years where before I only got them maybe once a year or less. I'm still annoyed about it even though I shouldn't be.
I'm sorry, that sounds exactly like my mother.
I love my teledoc app b/c i get a valtrex prescription in a few hours. Sometimes they'll give me a refill so I have one on hand for the next time.
Oh that's a good idea, I'll have to look into that. I have a hard time taking the Valtrex because it's so big (even cut in half I have trouble), but I think it's time to start taking it. Thanks!

DH is traveling for work. He was supposed to get on a plane in 2 hours to fly home. He just found out the Chairman, President, and another high up guy are on their way to his location. He’s met them all before plenty of times, but feels like he probably can’t leave with them coming, and him being the lead guy on location.
Bah. We were supposed to go to our niece’s varsity basketball game tonight and DH’s alma mater. I can still go and take the kids myself, but I don’t know where to park or where the gym is. Why am I like this? I get nervous thinking about trying to handle this on my own. I’m a grown ass woman and I can figure this out.
It's 17 degrees here with high of 24. Feels like single digits though. It has to be 25 degrees for outdoor recess. This means DD and DS2 will come home extra wired. Both usually get 2 outdoor recesses on Fridays for meeting reading goals. Luckily we have a big finished basement to send them to. Maybe I'll set up an obstacle course later. If that doesn't work and they beg me for something to do it will be organize the toy closet time.
it is currently 0 with the real feel of -13. This afternoon when I have to walk home from work it is supposed to be -10 with a real feel of -25.
Tomorrow morning is supposed to be -20 with a real feel of -40.
We plan to be indoors most of the next 48 hours, but walking the 4 blocks to my car is going to be rough today!
Ugh, we had those windchills in December, it's awful. Good excuse to not leave your house this weekend!
wildrice - at my last job we had two women who worked there, hired at different times, and the names that they went by were Minnie and Mickey.
That's great. When I was still working as an SLP at a rehab hospital we had 2 doctors join with privileges who had a practice together...French and Fry... and they were cardiac docs. Jay Leno mentioned one of their ads once.

nospaekae easier said than done, but I'd tell her you want her to stop commenting on it and that her disgusted facial expressions hurt your feelings. It's not coming across as concern.

Try drinking it with chocolate milk. It helps to coat your throat and makes the pill slide down easier and covers up any icky pill taste.
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
So yesterday afternoon we got our autistic DS(6) diagnosed with asthma. Today I pick up his chewable med, inhalers (with spacers), fill out paperwork for the school and try to get DS to use said inhaler and take the med. It's always easy & smooth to get DS to take new meds. /s
You all have been dealing with a lot. I know that's not a dx you'd want, but maybe on the right treatment plan it might mean healthier days ahead.
Yesterday was day 7 of working. Today is the start of my 3 day weekend and I just had a bad feeling last night that this was not going to be a relaxing wknd. So far my instinct has been correct and I am in such a bad mood this AM because of it.
I called the company that does my 401k at my new job and mentioned that I wanted to start the rollover process with my 401k from my old job. Before putting me through to a retirement advisor, they asked if it was over or under $25k in value because that would determine who they had me talk to. I told them it was over and mentioned the total amount and the woman was like, "OMG WOW! Then we are DEFINITELY excited to help you with this rollover."
Is this what it's like to be rich and have everyone cater to you? lol She was SO nice to me. Not that she wasn't before, but I was sincerely amused at the slight change in her demeanor after she heard the amount I wanted to rollover from my other 401k.
I've been doing Peloton workouts since the start of the pandemic and I just tried Tread bootcamps for the first time and I am in absolute love. I didn't realize 30 minutes of my ass being kicked could go by so quickly.
I've done one of these and really enjoyed it! But my treadmill is in the same room as my cat's litter boxes and there was no way I was getting on the floor in that room - so I kept pausing the workout, running out into another room for the strength section, pausing the workout to get back on the treadmill, rinse and repeat. And that was pretty obnoxious. But it's been probably a year or more since I did that, maybe I should try it again!

Litter box placement is the worst.
I just rearranged the room where my treadmill is and blocked off about a quarter with the futon and bookshelf so there is a separate gym area. This way no one gets too good of a look at me when I'm struggling on the floor.
