I'm in Pittsburgh for the weekend - mainly seeing family and friends. I had to return my work laptop so I dropped that off today, and then tomorrow I'm going to a funeral service . My HS best friend's grandmother died from a stroke last week. She lives in Florida and flew up to Pgh for the week to help her mom. I haven't seen her in 20 years! So as sucky as it is, I'm excited to see her.
Sunday is the early Bills game in London, so I'm trying to decide if I'm crazy enough to drive home at like 6:30 AM so I don't miss the game :-P
I also start a new job on Monday (yay!!!) so I want to be back home early Sunday to relax and get ready for the next morning.
I am happy to report that I figured out how to change the WiFi password. I also created a Guest WiFi account so that on the weekends when his kids are here I can turn it on for them and I guess by default, him, so that I don't feel guilty, and can then shut it off the rest of the time, because eff him.
Did that disable the cameras? I would have friends over and do a sweep of the house. That is creepy AF and I couldn't rest until I knew the cameras were found.
If you participate in the Teal Pumpkin Project, what are you giving out this year? Sounds like I'll get some trick or treaters at my house and I want to have something for the kids that can't have food items.
I usually have a variety of things from the dollar store - glow in the dark sticks or necklaces, temporary tattoos or other stickers, bouncy balls, little activity or coloring books.
Unsolicited advice: you should move out now. It sounds like he is escalating and you don’t feel safe.
You don’t share kids with him. You have full custody of your other children. You’ve mentioned wanting to move in a few years when your oldest graduates. I’d do it now. Would it suck to move in HS? Yes. Is it more disruption? Yes. But sometimes we do things because we have to. No house/equity/money is worth what is at risk.
David's teacher called me to come pick him up from his field trip. She said he'd had a pee accident, and while I believe that's what she thought- he didn't. It was just water. But I didn't want to confirm in the middle of the pumpkin patch so we went home. Joe only took like a 10 minute nap. And my therapist wasn't feeling well and asked to reschedule.
What do you all do with all the thoughts and worries swirling in your head? I'm at a breaking point here. And I need to get it all out, but I don't really want to write it all down where someone could find it. Like, I can think of six headings off the top of my head that are stressing me the fuck out. Anyone up for a trauma dump email?
I take the voices in my head put for a long hike and let them run wild.

Target had a bunch of cute stuff for Halloween treat bags. I got some for a pinata for when we host our friends for brunch next weekend. Little bubble wands, stamps, tiny containers of slime, finger puppets etc.

It should have. But just in case I ordered a device from Amazon so I can sweep the house for devices.
She sees it as a sign of her superiority. She doesn't understand it's because her immune system is worn out and can't muster as robust a response as a younger person can.
I've had zero reaction to any of the Covid shots I've had. I have a healthy immune system but it just doesn't seem to respond to this shot. Probably why I've had Covid twice, though once was before the vaccine was available.
Yes Im not sure either because my super healthy DH and kids never have reactions to the Covid vaccines. Timely b/c I head out to mine in 15 minutes and I will feel like death mostly likely for a day and a half. Sigh. So wonderful you are not drinking during the week. I don't either any more--for the last few months--and it's been such a positive change for me too. I also used some of the apps and I get some of the NA drinks. I really like my wine too but this has been a healthy addition to my life.
and jinkies--I have had really bad top of foot pain too and it's just been tendonitis for me but they usually do an Xray to rule out a stress fracture. I just needed steroids and antiinflammatories and a few weeks off exercise. It really really hurt. Hope yours is better soon.
Went to Costco on a Friday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. I got lucky. The drive both ways was crazy town though.
I’m pretty sure my 11yo is just humoring us at this point, but the tooth fairy slipped up and forgot night before last. Oops! We had several rounds of storms that blew over multiple trees nearby and he mentioned the fairy not being able to fly through it. 😂 She left a little extra last night as interest. He was slow to get and start to lose teeth and I swear we’re going to be doing this into high school. Lol.
today has been just fabulous. (said in my most sarcastic voice.)
Last night about 10 PM another fucking hemorrhoid appeared. Urgent care doesn't open up until 10AM so I went into work to close up a few things and grab some files incase this turns bad. I arrive at urgent care at 10AM and do not see a DR until 12:45. I was not happy but I get it - understaffed, covid...... Just like last time, she took one look and was like WOAH - you need a surgeon. Fucking wonderful.
BUt the colon and rectal surgery center closes at 2PM today and because it took so long at urgent, I wasn't able to get in. So they prescribed me pain meds to get thru tonight and then I am going to the ER tomorrow for another hemorrhoid removal surgery.
We are on a flight, dd forgot to charge her headphones so is borrowing mine, and someone a few rows back is letting their child play with a xylophone. My god.
rubytue, donutsmakemegonuts, The problem is that he's been known in the past to hide these cameras to spy on me and my kids. Now that I don't have access anymore, he could have them hidden anywhere to watch me. I already know that he watches my comings and goings on the Ring Doorbell, but this is a whole new level now that he has these cameras in my house somewhere. I'll get a new camera and set up a new account so I can watch my dogs, but I'm worried about what he may be watching now. I guess I need to start searching and see if I can find them, he claims that he threw them out.
Don’t the cameras go through wifi? Can’t you just change the wifi password? Why would you keep the same ring doorbell up? Don’t make things more difficult for yourself. Just get rid of the ring and change the password and move on.
eta: I see this has been sorted. I hope you continue to take back control and work on yourself before dating. It sounds like focusing on yourself would be a huge benefit to your well being.
I am watching the last available episode of love is blind's new season.
Someone who has seen it needs to come celebrate with me the server for Lydia and Milton's museum dinner. He's in and out. He's silently refilling weird metal stemware. He's not guffawing and the insanity of the situation and the crazy shit these people are saying.
Props to server with the shiny black bob in Houston. I salute you.

I give out glow sticks/bracelets in addition to candy and it's always a hit.

He served that water super slow trying to listen to all of the tea 😂
