My car crash was over a month ago. I was supposed to get my car back on July 9th. On July 9th they told me that they were not done but assured me that it would be ready on July 16th. I went last night to pick it up and they told me that it was ready bodywork wise, but they realized that it needed a new hose to the turbo engine and that it couldn't be driven until they got the hose. Nobody bothered to call me and tell me that they were not finished. I had already returned my rental car. I insisted that I wasn't leaving until they gave me a different rental car that they would pay for. They gave me a Chevy HHR (the guy actually said "give her the cheapest car") and after an hour and a half I was on my way home. This morning I go out to the car and it has a flat tire. I just want my freaking car back!

I leave for my cruise on Sunday and have developed an enormous pimple on my chin. Sulfur treatments have done nothing, I can't get in to see my derm and there are no spas within biking distance for me to get a facial at. I have to go into Manhattan tomorrow, but have too many errands to do to get one there.

I ordered a Zeno overnight on Amazon. Hopefully that will help.

I'm pretty impressed with my will power though, I haven't tried popping it because a scab on vacation would be way worse.

Potty training and pregnancy suck

Does the Zeno thing work?

AP, do you have a dermatologist? If so, you could go in for a cortisone shot. (Also, OTC hydrocortisone cream can help with the swelling in the meantime).

I called and can't an appointment in time! :-(

Guess I'll find out. Temptalia liked it. And I'm willing to try anything at this point.

I have a foot doc appt and had to take off my toe nail polish. My feet feel nekkid w/o polish.

One of the guys that I work with (who doesn't technically work for our group, but I'm somehow stuck managing him) refuses to communicate with me. Like will talk around me when I'm present. And because he's union there isn't anything I can do about it, but wait for him to retire at the end of the year. It's really make my job miserable.

[Mrs.Beagle]

I love popping zits.

My company is owned by a married couple. Their marriage is a mess. Today my boss (the wife) revealed some things to me and I'm just not comfortable with it. I'm not sure I want to be here when the shit hits the fan.

Do we work at the same place? I hate marital office drama...

Good random: I was walking up the steps to go see the cardiologist. Said cardiologist was walking behind me, so he jokes he knows he doesn't have to see if I'm exercising. Also, my numbers were great. No medication adjustments for me. First time in a long time.

Bad random: He comes running up to me afterwards to see if I'm pregnant, because the nurse noted I was taking prenatal vitamins. No, no sir I'm not. I'm just taking them in advance should that day ever come. I know he was asking because I would need to change my medicine ASAP when I do get pregnant.

I don't know why, but I always feel worse when drs/nurses ask why you are taking prenatals, and then they are you/how long have you been trying etc questions vs. seeing my period every month. It's weird, but that's my skewed thought process.

I am feeling very frumply lately. In part because I need a haircut. But also because I am tired of wearing clothes that work for pumping/nursing at work. I need new outfit ideas!

[HoneySpider]

I've been crabby since last night. I was exhausted for some reason, trying to work on dissertation rewrites, the freakin dishwasher wouldn't start, and DH is just sitting on the couch watching tv and playing on the internet. I asked him to fix the dishwasher (he did) but I was just stewing thinking about all the shit that needs to get done in our house right now and how he spends most nights doing the same thing (tv & internet).

I'm also really sick of commuting and getting resentful that I get up earlier and am in the car almost 2 hours a day and he's in the car 10 min a day. I go through this phase every so often. He does cook dinner most nights but I think in his mind, doing that means not having to do other stuff until the weekend.

I have no idea why I'm so tired. I feel like I want to crawl into bed and just sleep for 12 hours or so.

Have you tried tea tree oil or honey on it. They both have antimicrobial properties?

I've been in MFP for 1 week and I'm down 4 pounds!

I'm also bloated from my period and my hair was wet, so who knows what it'll be next time.

Where I work it is a ex-husband & ex-wife own a company together.
Ex Husband is the president & the ex-wife is the CFO.
There is always a power struggle going on and ex-wife (who is my boss) always asks me why does exhusband like things done a certain way.....
IDK he is the president so I just agree and do what he asks me to do.

I have a bad cold coming on and I feel powerless to stop it.

Congrats!!

I should really log my food into LoseIt. I'm so lazy with it bc I dont want to be obsessed.

We're on a spending freeze, but I really want to get a cat feeder with a timer on it before we leave for mini-vacation next week. Our cat used to be okay with just leaving her several days' worth of food and someone checking in here and there, but the last couple times she has apparently eaten all the food at once and then throws up everywhere

wow! I have been really bad with tracking this week and had a few rough days so I'm thinking I gained...never good, but especially so since we're going OOT tomorrow and I KNOW I'll gain while gone :-(

Building our house is driving me up the freaking wall and we haven't even broken ground yet. I am super annoyed that no one is telling us what we need in terms of paper work until the day of. GAH

They closed down a major highway in town for the next 5 months. This means there is twice as much traffic on my commute both ways now. It sucks because I usually barely hit any. It normally takes me 25 minutes each way--this morning took 45.

Just chalk this up as another reason I'm counting down the days until maternity leave.

I avoided doing a refi for our mortgage for a long time, but it finally made sense because of the rates and the new gov program--so we pulled the trigger, applied, sent in a ton of stuff and were prepared to bring 12k to pay the loan down and the other costs. 3 weeks later and now the f'ng banker says that we can't do it-we'd have to do a longer term-and she won't give us the new lower rates, it has to go back to the time we locked on the 15 yr. I'm about to lose my sh^t and its not going to be pretty. I'm recalling the post about calling someone an idiot--well, she definitely deserves the title because she has no idea what she's doing when it comes to mortgages.

This is the opposite of DH and I and I'm always worried that he resents this. Especially now in the summer that school's eased off a lot. We did it the other way around for awhile but it turns out, he likes when I cook better.

I just started logging again on lose it. I quit because inwasnt losing any weight, & as soon as I quit I lost like 7 lbs in 3 weeks. I am logging again because I gained back 3 of those lbs in 6 weeks. I might just do hypnosis again. Sigh...

They are in the exact same positions in my company, except the company is solely owned by him, somehow, because it was started by his family and some kind of trust business I don't understand.

She's a fairly cold and calculated person, and she's been talking about her "secret" account and bailing. Which, honestly, I wouldn't be suprised if that's been her plan for a long time. She said she's waiting for one of their ventures to pay off so she can stockpile some more cash.

And I told her she needs to find a replacement before she drops CFO duties in my lap and she says "you are my replacement."

Whatthemotherfuck?

Thanks!

Cosmos, you should come over to the dark side and join MFP.
