Our house goes on the market tomorrow. Our realtor had the photographer out today to take pictures. He also put a sign in the yard. And someone drove by, loved it and want to see it today. So we have our first showing right now before our house is even technically on the market. Woohoo!!
AHHHHHH how did I miss this the other day. sorry folks, new job has me insanely busy and I barely have any free time!
It looks amazing and I'm going to have to find a pirated stream to watch it. I hope Edith finds happiness!
SimplyJune posts them shortly after they air in the UK. Or you can download Hola to use with Chrome so that you can be assigned a UK IP address to watch via ITV.
Thanks! I really needed this news today. I haven't been sleeping well since H left for MD. Last night I woke up at 3:30 and didn't sleep well after that. So I am dragging today.
Well my boss just told me that he got called for a reference yesterday. Of the 2 positions I interviewed with, it is the one I would prefer!!
In other news, the photographer is coming tomorrow to take pictures of our house. And it will be on the market on Thursday. FX for a quick sale and a job offer for me.
Thanks for updating, too, womet. I was wondering, but I didn't want to be that guy. "Did you hear anything? Any updates?" When I see that, I always think, if this person heard something, wouldn't she have made a thread? Gosh.
Annoying but it IS Friday in the summer so maybe things are just slow moving?
That's possible. But ugh this waiting sucks. He becomes less enthusiastic about it the longer it goes.
Let's both keep our chins up. None of my references have been called either. I'm blaming the slow gov't hiring process. I hope that Mr. ILL and I both get good job news next week.
Phones don't bother me, but walking 3-4 across on busy sidewalks (NY, Chicago) makes me RAGE. I'll admit I intentionally haven't pulled my bag in a few times resulting in partial collision.
This. I see it most at work when I walk to/from the restaurants across the street. People walk 3 across when coming towards me and don't have the common courtesy to move aside. I refuse to move and have bumped into people before. And then I say "Excuse you" and keep walking.
my chiro's office turned out to be a secret gym cult. I'm super sad about this.
everyone looks magazine ready and is obsessed with fitness. and they want me to be obsessed with fitness.
started w/ the initial consult. was greeted by a really rude receptionist who was not impressed by the fact that my e-mail has my middle initial AND numbers after it (the horror). unfortunately, I had to take what was available, lady.
at my old place, my pre-adjustment massages took place in a dimly lit room w/ music and inspirational photos and hot stones. my masseuse, rebecca, would talk to me about my "energy" during the process. she'd say really calming things like "give it to the universe -- your move will be wonderful and I know you're going to do great things." I left smiling and relaxed every single time.
THIS was done in some bright room w/ my street clothes on. the man just kept asking me if I was "doing ok" (?) and my chiro randomly popped his head in after 10 mins to see what was going on.
after the massage, I was brought into the gym, which is really just a big open room w/ 4-5 men and one hot 21 year old girl throwing kettle balls over her head (not exaggerating - it was called a "flip"). I didn't know I was going to the gym, so I had on sandals. didn't matter -- they gave me 5 exercises and kept repositioning me because I apparently stand wrong. for 25 years I've been a failure! my chest needs to go out, I'm supposed to somehow suck my spine in(??), relax my neck, and unlock my knees. this super weirdo kept saying shit like: "I diagnose people through movement. I bet your parents put you in those little kitten heels before your growth plates were fused." he also really rudely corrected me (in conversation, not posture) at least twice.
when the chiro asked me about formal exercise, I replied "not much, but I walk a lot" (averaging 19,000 steps or 8+ miles/day recently). he then made fun of me and asked if I am 65 years old. his adjustment itself was pretty good which is kind of a bummer.
the worst is that this place had 5 stars on yelp (which neverrrr let me down in Chicago). Welcome to NY??
Time to find someone else. My H went to a new chiro on MD. This guy said he didn't believe in fibromyalgia as though it were the tooth fairy. And then he suggested dry needling, which should not be done in fibromyalgia patients. On top of this, he didn't even adjust my H. H went to a new PCP and got the name of someone else. FX this guy is better.
Genius! I am going to have to try that once we're living under the same roof again. Peas are my H's least favorite vegetable, so I know he would never use them.
rbp, there is a wonderful parents list serv through my work that you might also want to tap into. You might be able to find someone there. PM me and I can send you the details on how to join.
Their insurance may cover a lot of it actually but you have to loop them in. Actually, probably your insurance company.
THIS! Your insurance company probably will do all the leg work once you give them the info.
This. I was rear ended in late July by an unlicensed woman. The owner had insurance but there was an exclusion policy on it regarding licensed drivers. I went through my insurance company. They paid for my car repairs and my medical (I tweaked my back and hip). They are going after this woman personally to recoup their money. I had to pay my uninsured motorists deductible, but they will work to get that money from her too. They have also offered to pay me for my pain and suffering. So I'd contact your insurance company.
womet - did your H move already? and excellent on the responses. Although, there is a small part of me that was hoping I could get you to join me lol. I'm losing my awesome statistician/study director. Speaking of, I think I'll call her and see how her interview went.
He left here on Saturday and got to MD on Sunday.
I did look at the posting, and I'm not sure I'd be the best fit for it. Thanks for keeping me in mind though.
Let's see... Interviews last week went well. Both asked for references, so I sent those yesterday. I heard back from one right away thanking me and saying they would keep me posted as things progress. Radio silence from the other. I know it's been less than a day, but that's the job I'd prefer.
When I told my boss, he was awesome. Said he's sad to lost me but that he wants me to get the best job that will make me happy. I heart him.
H had his first day yesterday and it was great. He's so glad to be back in his old job and working with his friends again.
H wrote me an email telling me about his awesome first day: "I feel like I am back in a place where I actually matter and can make a difference." This solidifies that we are doing the right thing. Just need to get a job for me and sell our house. Nothing big.
I need to tell my boss today that I have applied for other positions and then ask if he'll serve as a reference for me. He's the best boss and I hate the idea of not working for him, but this move is best for us.
H is up in MD (I'm in GA) and today is his first day back in his old job. I am so incredibly happy for him, because I know how much he loved that job and hated to leave it when we moved here. And so thankful to my family for helping us out during this transition. H is living in my sister's garage apartment for nearly nothing.
Yup, mine needed a new transmission. Not worth it when the car is 10 years old and has over 100K miles on it. That was after I'd paid to fix the back gate.
Not MM at all. Friday: took my car into the shop and got a rental car, my car needs a new transmission, quote was $2600; $1400 for critter people. Sealing up our house because we had bats and possibly mice (yuck); decided it's not worth it to fix my car, so we bought a new one (pre-owned) $24,600 Saturday: $46 for rental car, $20 lunch with H, $40 groceries Sunday: $46 random stuff from Walmart
Not sure what H spent on the road, but it included meals, gas and a night in a hotel as he moved from GA to MD.
Guys, I killed these interviews today. Both asked for references. I hope I end up in a position where I have to choose. Now back at my mom's house and she's making dinner before I head back to the airport for an 830 flight back to Atlanta.
I am in between interviews right now. The first one went well. They have asked for references and when I think I could start if officially offered the position. The second one is in an hour, so I am having a quick lunch. Will post about the second one later. I haven't told anyone other than family, so I need to share details with someone.
Another update: the folks from the phone interview want to schedule an in person interview. Since I will be up there tomorrow for another interview in the morning, I have suggested meeting tomorrow afternoon. Eeek! Two in person interviews in one day.
Update: Just got off the phone for the interview. I think it went well. They are looking for people to do analyses that I haven't done recently, so I am worried that I don't have what they are looking for exactly. But the group sounds really interesting in terms of the breadth of work that they do. They said the next step is in person meetings and if I'd be able to go up to MD. Fingers crossed that I hear something soon.
In the meantime, I have had people working outside to seal our house from critters and the carpet installation folks are here right now replacing some carpet. Yesterday was the cleaning lady and carpet cleaners. And tomorrow I fly up to MD for my in person interview and presentation. This week is going to be the death of me.
I got an email for a phone interview tomorrow! I am WFH tomorrow because we are having carpet replaced so I think I'll have to take this from my car in the driveway of the carpet people are still here. And then I have an in person interview on Thursday.
I am so sorry you're dealing with this. after my PE, I went to the gyn on the 3rd day after being discharged fom the hospital to get a mirena put in. This is exactly what I wanted to avoid. I cant recall how long you are going to be on blood thinners. I hope your gyn has a good solution for you.
3 months. And then reevaluate from there with another ultrasound.
My gyn said they don't like putting one on for such short periods of time. FX you get a good solution from yours. Hang in there!
