I'm really really ready for my boss to be back in the office. I've been pulled into all these calls on this one shittass project we have and it's driving me insane. Off to call into YET ANOTHER conference call.
I'm going to meet a dog tomorrow. She's currently living with 7 cats so hopefully she can handle my 2.
Unfortunately there are other people interested in her and I won't know until Sunday night if her foster picks us. I will probably go to a few other adoption events just in case.
I'm hosting a bridal ahower at work today. It's a good idea to test-run a recipe before debuting it for a bunch of people. My cake is having a real "nailed it" moment. (But it tastes good!)
Well my to do list is off to a good start. First on the list, mow the lawn before it gets hot, except the mower won't start. Meh, obviously I wasn't meant to mow the law as the gas can is empty too. All up to H then.
I keep telling myself that I can get through packing and moving myself, and packing and moving my gpa, but holy shit I'm so stressed right now.
I'm also feeling guilt for finally being the impetus to move my gpa to a place that will give him a more care than what he has now. I know that this is what needed to be done, but it's so hard.
Hugs pixy0stix. You're doing the right thing by GPA, and it the only one with his best interests at heart. Everyone else can pound sand.
I swear if I have to go pay to get a physical, because my doctor can't fill out this one-page form they've had for weeks, I'm going to scream. They say they're going to try and get him to do it today. There is no trying. I dropped it off weeks ago. Went to pick it up, and they couldn't find it. Gave them a new one, and they said check today.
I don't have time for this.
ETA: No screaming involved. The office got my form done. Yay!
Oh, and I knew the housing market was crazy, but I didn't know it was this crazy - we have someone stopping by the house tonight to look at it. It's not on the market yet, and not remotely close to being show ready.They said they've been beaten out of so many houses, even after being top bidder (?? somehow I don't believe that), that they're going to look at house as is.
I'm seriously considering skipping out of work a bit early to head to NYC tonight instead of tomorrow. But when I arrive I'm going to have to 1. unload all the shit I have to bring with me (kid is coming) 2. Carry it up to a FOURTH FLOOR WALKUP 3. find a parking spot in Brooklyn and 4. convince kid to sleep. All of which I'll have to do when I get there tomorrow too....but then it won't be the end of the day and I won't be tired yet.
But then I get that much more time to chat and hang out with BFF and I don't have to wake up at the asscrack of dawn tomorrow morning.
Yes, he is. They didn't have that service for him, but he's just taking a few items of furniture and his clothes, etc.
The hard part is going to be clearing out his house. We have an estate sales person coming out on Saturday to look at it.
It is tough but just keep reminding yourself that this is the best thing for him. I tried to do this for my momma before my sister stepped in and ruined everything. She had momma move in with her instead and pay her rent. Now 2 years later she's looking at moving her to a nursing home.
This almost happened. My aunt was kicking up a lot of fuss. I lost it on her on Sunday (coincidentally the day we cleaned out zb's room). I don't even remember what I said, but the gist was that she wasn't here and I deal with him several times a week. She was here on Tuesday with my uncle, and really and truly evaluated what was going on with gpa other than just coming and visiting with him. Then they started taking him facility shopping.
Related, my husband asked me, "Do you know how many f-bombs you dropped on your aunt on Sunday?"

sometimes the f bomb is the best way to communicate

Our brand new neighbors said their house was the fourth they bid on and the ones they lost were in bidding wars that went up to $100k more than asking within 48 hrs of listing. They paid $110k more than previous owners had paid less than 2 years ago. Summary: you're in the driver's seat here!
Luckily, my dad is okay. His scan results came back fine so he just had the glass removed from his arm. I still don't really know what happened, but at least he's (relatively) fine.

I am having liberal struggles with the affordable housing plan my county is putting into place. I support affordable housing, but dont' support overloading one area of the county with ALL the affordable housing, expecially after seeing the impact on schools that are already overcrowded. I just wish it was diversified between the northern (rich) and southern ("lower" income) parts of the county. But then I feel super guilt for feeling that.

Yassss, I have a phone interview on Monday at MIT. I loved working there and was so sad when I had to leave, but it'll be nice to get even a step closer to the door. LOL
I have a jury summons for US district court for the month of June. I won't know until after 3:30 today if I have to report on Monday (Then if I don't report I have to call back next Friday, etc..). My bosses are gone 3 weeks this month leaving me alone in the office. I have to hire a temp. It makes it very difficult to plan when you only have a days notice. I'm kind of looking forward to jury duty but worrying about the office is stressing me out.

I'm going to be in Chicago tomorrow for a workshop. I'm looking forward to it and also afraid it'll be a waste of time.
Putting together stuff for the rummage sale next weekend. Got the listings up online. Have to put the flyer together to go out on my company's intranet.
Little Dog is at work with me today. She's being especially cute.

My H made a big mistake (like a paperwork error, not something shady) that is going to cost us somewhere between $6-10K. I reminded him several times to take care of what he needed to take care of to avoid making this mistake and he just didn't. Now it's too late.
We have been planning an anniversary trip to France/Belgium, which is now cancelled.

Who is in charge of legal defense/hiding bodies?
I live in fear of being your H. I'm totally the flake of our relationship and have forgotten random stupid shit that has cost us money before...luckily never that much...but yeah. It could happen. Mostly because thanks to some quirks of our financial situation, I have to be the one handling all our savings beyond our normal easy access spend to save account. urgh.
