Monday Randoms

Morning ladies!

Weekend was rather short. My car goes in for maintenance today and I'm always a bit scared/ anxious to see if anything is wrong.

Tonight I'm going to try to get out and walk as I starting a get healthy plan for myself!

I am exhausted from my weekend.

Friday night went straight from work to a Third Eye Blind and Dashboard Confessionals concert with a friend and met runner there (he already had tickets). It ended up being a really awesome night and we all got home around 2am. Saturday left pretty early for the beach and didn't get back in town until 9pm then my friend and I decided to take a shower and go out. Got home around 2:30am. Woke up around 8am yesterday and did breakfast, shopping, movie, dinner, and finally home around 8pm. It really was a blast of a weekend, but I need another day to just rest.

I'm back from Boston and my nephew was so kind as to give me a cold while I was visiting.

It was a lot of fun. Boston is such a great city and you can just walk around.

Hanging out with bl tomorrow so that will be a lot of fun!

I'm finally watching Dexter. Now I'm wondering what took me so long!

I've lost 4 lbs, which isn't much but it's helped me get my motivation back.

Oh man, I loved that show. I'm jealous that you are starting fresh

I'm halfway through season 4. It is really good.

I had to hide a friend (more like an acquaintance) on facebook yesterday because she is friends with my EXH and his new wife and was posting pictures from their baby shower this weekend. I don't want him back but I'm still resentful that he "seems" to have such a great life and I just decided that I don't need to see any of this stuff and it does me no good.

This weekend wasn't what I thought it would be but it was pretty good anyway. I'm going to a conference later this week so I need to get a lot of work done in the next few days.

This weekend really depressed me and I can't shake it.

I did a ton of sleeping this weekend and it was GLOOOOOOOOOORIOUS! And big credit goes to BF for just letting me sleep and feeding me all weekend.

This weekend was pretty good. Friday I didn't do anything and was in bed by 9:30. Saturday I cleaned up and relaxed. That night I went to my friend's launch party for his nonprofit organization. I'm so proud of him. Yesterday I went to church and my mom and her friend came to my place and we ate and had some great conversation.

I'm sorry 1confused1. Do you want to talk about it?

Saturday I played a couple of soccer games. Sunday morning, I got up and drove my temp foster dog (of two nights) to his furever home in Dallas!
When I was there, I had lunch with the fam and came home. I brought my Raven with me to keep me company for the road trip.
It was a good weekend.

DH and I went to a hot springs resort this weekend, it was deep in the Olympic National Forest, and we were totally unplugged. No phone service, no internet, no TV. It was really beautiful and peaceful. We went on a hike that should have only been 4 miles, and it ended up being 6 miles because I misunderstood the girl at the info counter. Then we soaked in the hot tubs, which was awesome. It got DH talking again about putting in a hot tub. We had talked about putting one in just after we got married, but it kind of fell by the wayside.

Friday morning, DH mentioned that he thought I might have some sleep apnea issues. I woke up very congested, and told him that was probably the cause of the snoring, but he said that it had been going on for some time. I'm sure my recent weight gain plays a big role in it. 
I got a new Fitbit, but wasn't able to charge it before we headed out of town this weekend. I got it set up yesterday after we got home, and I checked my sleep record, and it says that I got just over 6.5 hours of sleep, with 2 wake ups, and 8 (!) restless periods, for a total of 5 hours and 53 minutes of sleep, and a 96% sleep efficiency rating. I think that's pretty good, considering that I read for about 20 minutes before I went to sleep.
DH said that my snoring had woken him up a few times, but I'm seriously wondering if it's his own snoring that's waking him up.

Thanks. It's not a big thing, I spent the weekend with my sister and my mom and I should have known I was going to feel like this after. We are very different people (well, they are the same, I am different ) and their comments and what we talked about all weekend made me feel like the black sheep. This isn't new but it was just like a punch in the gut this weekend. I'll get over it, but I won't be doing a trip with them again.

My mom and I booked a hotel and changed the dates for a trip. Next Monday I'll be in Pittsburgh for 3 days before we drive to W. VA for a Fiestaware tent sale. I'm excited!!

My college BFF's H has been having an affair for several months. She knows about it and he's told her he'd stop a few times, and then continued. He's not doing much to fix things other than just saying "I don't want to split up". I guess he's severely depressed but doesn't want to get on ADs. They have been going to counseling and I think he's going on his own too.

Ugh. When she first told me a few weeks ago I was hopeful they'd work things out (since that's what she wants and I want to support whatever she thinks is best) but after hearing more yesterday about his lack of effort, I really think she should just be done. But she didn't ask for my advice so I didn't flat out say it, just tried to empathize and remind her she doesn't deserve to be treated that way and he should be doing more. I'm so mad at him. They've been dating since HS so I've known him nearly as long as I've known her. I always thought he was a great guy. I can't believe he has not only done this, but is showing so little interest in fixing it. I truly wonder if he's done with the marriage and just doesn't want to be the one who pulls the trigger on splitting up (though he's doing that indirectly anyway).

I may see her this weekend (we live 8 hours apart) and I hope we can talk about it a lot more. I just feel so bad for her. And up until this point she thought they had a good marriage, so I don't even know what to say about the future.

My car came back with a bad bill of health. I'm so upset.
There goes my vacation money.

I am tired and sore from this weekend. Friday was pretty mellow, but then we were up early Saturday, drive out to the amusement park to walk/jog the Color Me Rad, which took over an hour with DDs, especially since DD1 knee and face planted into the rocks almost immediately. She got cleaned up by the First Aid people and we were on our way. Then we stayed at the park for while. They went in the water (I did not- brrrrrr...). Then we left to take DD1 all the way to my mom's, then home to grab an overnight bag with DD2, then off to the zoo for a Girl Scout sleepover. We walked the zoo Saturday night, didn't get to "lights out" until close to 11:30, then ate breakfast and walked the zoo again. Then left to gab my bathing suit and then to my mom's to get DD2 and to sun and swim. Water was freezing but the temp and sun were hot. Then we left around 4, did some quick grocery shopping, went home and made dinner, did some wash, emptied the bags from the park and the zoo, gave baths/showers, then off to bed by 8:15 for DDs. I went to bed by 11 and was out shortly after hitting the pillow.

My weekend was busy but fun! Saturday I had a photo shoot on the beach so we went down early and hung out on the sand until they arrived. It was very relaxing.

My sister is trying to get my niece's bio dad's rights terminated so my BIL can adopt her and we had a heartbreaking morning in court today. Deadbeat bio dads who are in prison for violent reasons piss me off.

It's my first day working from home at the new job. So far I love it! It's all project based so no one checking up on my time or anything. I'm watching a lifetime movie as a break ha! I've already crossed off tons of to-dos.

[jigsy]

Just another Monday here. Work is (as usual) slow, so I'm working on some licensing stuff I need to do.
Planning on hitting Pilates tonight after work, that will make three workouts in three days. I need to remember this feel good feeling when I want to be lazy and not work out, lol.

Sorry Eurkeka! Can you get a second opinion?

[idahome]

I took today off work for an interview. I haven't head back for a second interview yet (supposed to be Thursday) so I think I didn't get to the next round. I'm giving them until tomorrow afternoon before reaching out to the recruiter and asking for feedback.

I cleaned out most of my closet so I'm feeling pretty good about that. Looking forward to doing more cleaning the rest of the week (oddly enough).

I just made a cake with boxed cake mix and a can of soda as seen here.
www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/27/easy-cake-recipe-use-soda-be-bubbly_n_5717767.html

It was dry and tasteless so I threw it out. Disappointed! I thought it seemed like a cool trick and a lower fat version of cake. Blech.  

[Eureka1984]

Thanks abc I ended up getting the front breaks replaced and the online computer chip thing done. The rest I'm waiting on.

I'm pretty depressed about job hunting. I definitely skipped out work today and spent most of the day in bed. I just hate my job so much and I've been hunting for so long. Everyone says my resume is great and I have great qualifications. so why can't I find a job?!

[glitzyglow]

There were some rough storms that passed through this afternoon. They made me a little skittish.

It's my Friday night. I might go buy ice cream. I plan to nothing but indulge in Netflix tonight, maybe do a face mask or something, too.

[Deleted]

Today was a tough day for me. I'm in a funk - not sure I'd call it depression but maybe. I'm getting enough sleep but my diet has been going downhill and I can't even remember the last evening that didn't include alcohol.

At work I just want to be left alone; the perky happy people are driving me crazy so I sit with my earbuds on all day. I don't want to socialize.

Facebook depresses me. I tell myself to just stay off of it but sadly it's one of my only social connections so I'm torn.

I live alone with my dog so I am becoming a hermit watching (bad) TV.

I don't know how to get out of this cycle.

Tonight I had no wine and went for a run. One day at a time I suppose.
