Tuesday Randoms!

[abcdefu]

Good Morning!

It's been a while since I've started a randoms post thanks to not being able to get my lazy ass out of bed on time.  I am off today for my doctor appointment so of course, I am up at 6:30. Like, WTF?!

In better news, I am really trying to de-clutter my life and really focusing on organization. I've been throwing ish away like a madwoman!

Happy Tuesday!

[Eureka1984]

Good luck at your dr apt today!

I'm up early because we got this nasty storm last night that knocked out power and my alarm went off as beeps instead.

I pushed my major test back to next week. I'm feeling really overwhelmed and anxious and I had a panic attack. (I never got them in college) so I didn't want to walk into it that way. Today I am taking my first break with the material and just working and doing nothing.

Good morning. I'm here, physically anyway. I'm still trying to kick this cold and it's putting me in a bad mood.

I'm making a list of all the things that I want/need to get done at work before I go on vacation for 2 weeks!

I had to cancel my Brazilian tomorrow night because my hair isn't nearly long enough. I had laser done and it definitely didn't get rid of the hair, it drastically cuts down on the time it takes to grow. My estimate was off when I made my appointment.

Thanks Eureka1984! (mini side note: can you delete my name from your post?)

Good luck on your test! I'm sorry you're feeling anxious.

I'm debating taking my son on a summer vacation. It seems really pricey. A decent condo in the beach is like $400 a night.

[seabitch]

I need to pick up a bridal shower gift for my niece before Saturday. Damn, why didn't I just order something online?

[seabitch]

I have walked almost 43 miles this month as of yesterday towards my monthly goal of 30! <------finally winning!

Morning. Not much going on. Can't wait to get home this evening. I want some cuddle time with Mau.

I am getting a manicure tonight and am in definite need. I worked out last night and ate fairly well all day until after dinner. I need to get back to cutting all the sugar out again, it was working so well, why did I get off track.

[pantsoffdanceoff]

I'm going to die, I've been on hold with the IRS for over an hour!

What beach? My mom and I went to the beach each summer and I know it was a stretch financially for her so we always stayed somewhere way off the beach and took the shuttle to the actual beach or boardwalk. I don't know if where you're going has that option, but it was just as fun for me as a kid. I actually really liked pulling the string for our stop on the shuttle bus, lol.

Florida panhandle is the closest beach to us, like 7 hr drive

I finally have a good random! TL came in last night and looked at me and said I look younger, my skin looks tighter. LOL! I started using a new night cream about a month ago that promised "noticeable results in as little as a week." I have noticed a difference, but not a big one, so hearing an unsolicited comment was really nice. I guess it has been gradual enough I didn't really see it.
As I use up my other products, I think I will transition to the rest of the line.

What is the product/product line?

 A bird flew into my car this morning and died. I turned around to see if it really was dead, because otherwise I could have taken it to the wildlife rescue and it looked gone. 
THEN, I saw a kitten lying in the road, so I turn around again, and the kitten was also dead.  </3Ugh.  
What a sad drive to work today.

I am so upset about my lack of exercise, I was doing really well and walking 4 miles a day 4-5 days a week. Then the dog issue (was threatened by a pack of loose dogs) happened and I am frankly nervous now  about walking in my neighborhood. I haven't gained any weight back, but I feel squishy in the wrong places. 

I bought pepper spray, I suppose I should be bold and get my ass out there again. 

That's scary. I would be nervous too.

[jojoandleo]

HOW IS IT ONLY TUESDAY!?! Yesterday felt like 4 days in one.

[gozf]

I am having trouble adjusting to this new job. I miss my old boss.

That is so sad that others actions are causing you fear.  **raises pepper spray and pitchfork in anger!*

I understand you fear as I worry when we are out in the back fields that a pack of wild coyotes will come after me and my dog.  Get back out there girl, pepper spray in hand and be ready to use it.

I need a new night cream and have been wondering which product to use. And damn, RamblingRose, Amazon prime is mine and your friend!

[seabitch]

Our friends bought a new (to them) boat a few weeks ago. The name on it is "Sea Bitch".......this made me smile inside.

It's going to be a long, tedious week. I want the weekend here already so that I can go on my date.

[jojoandleo]

So, I am just going to bury this in here. While I was in DC, I got a call from my friend. She told me her H said he wanted a divorce. We will call them Erica and Jim. (Not the first time. She cheated on him like 2-3 years ago and they just swept it under the rug. Recently he's been having issues dealing with it and asked for a divorce a couple times, each time coming back and wanting counseling instead.) Anyway, then my friend's H texted me at about 3 am. Jim called saying Erica attempted suicide. She took a bunch of pills and was unresponsive. She was in an undisclosed location and he had to find her through that find your phone app and get the police to her. He called me to talk about it. She and I used to be close, but she moved away. We still talk and are fairly close, but I feel maybe she is closer to me than I am to her. Frankly, I don't know what he wanted me to do. I did tell him to have her admitted. She wanted to go home once she was able to wake up (like 36-48 hours later), but he did have her committed. Anyway, she is out now. She has not reached out to me. He has. I don't know if I should reach out to her? I mean, maybe she didn't want me to know?

I know she obviously has some issues she needs help with to deal with this stuff, but honestly? I just feel sorry for Jim right now. She cheated on him and then tried to commit suicide when he said he wanted a divorce. Now, he doesn't feel he can leave and feels responsible for all this. I know she didn't do this as a selfish act, but out of mental illness, but damn if it isn't hard to feel like she was selfish. And I feel she's only "doing better" because now her H has decided to stay. I feel she needs to go to some intensive therapy, maybe a month long stay, to get better. She needs to reach a point where she won't be suicidal if her H leaves. But, I can't make her. Her H doesn't want to make her. AND is all, "She is doing so well!" Yeah, well, so is my mom in one of her up phases before she goes off the fucking rails again when my SD looks at another person who happens to be female for a fraction of a second too long.

I really just want to go to Vegas, have fun with my friends, and not be involved. But I know she doesn't have a lot of people she is close to. So...what do I do? Call her? Text her? Wait for her to text me? Do I tell her I think she needs to commit herself? Just listen? I know I can't fix her. She has to want to get help. But, can I give her my opinions?

[wampuscat]

Last week, I had 2 people, within the same hour, reach out to me for divorce advice.  One was an old friend of mine from high school.  We used to be close, but aren't anymore.  The other is one of my bosses.    I mean, I feel badly for the guy because I think he just wanted someone to talk to, but it was SUPER awkward.

[glitzyglow]

Today is my day off. I am going to head to the gym, come home and start laundry (so fun, lol), and then go read by the pool for a while. Also repaint my nails...super exciting!

I might see if a guy from Tinder wants to get a drink tonight.

[cuddlyevil]

My last kid free day and I have no clue what to do.

Good luck on your test! I'm sorry you're feeling anxious.

Absolutely, my apologies!

[calle28]

jojoandleo - What a tough situation. I would reach out to her and tell her you care about her and want the best for her. Listen to her and IF she asks for advice, definitely give your opinion.

But deep down, she knows she needs help. Hopefully this is her rock bottom and she gets some intensive therapy.

This is the year of expensive things. My car has a very annoying (and potentially unsafe) transmission issue when driving on longer road trips (+ 1 hour or longer in hotter conditions) It's out of warranty, 123k miles and 7 years old, so I'm over it. H would rather just deal with it and have me learn how to drive his car (it's a stick) and switch when needed for solo long trips, but honestly I'm annoyed i"m paying on a car that doesn't work when I need it to. I'm thisclose to buying a new (to me) car, despite H being on the fence.It's a Toyota, so it better be reliable! I plan on keeping for a longggg time so it has some nice "nice to have's" that I'm excited about! I just have to make sure the numbers work.

I rode on a motorcycle for the first time last night! H got a beater Honda that's been a little pet project/hobby for him and we rode it to dinner last night> I liked it more than I thought I would!

I'm SO EXCITED to go on a road trip with @pdx18 this weekend! We're going to road trip to a former SO's nestie's wedding! whoop whoop!

[redredwine]

OMG. I forgot the most important random! You know my trainwreck sister? She called me last night and she's eloping in out of town in 2 weeks.
Here's the catch: It's actually a "secret not secret" elopement as my immediate family, his immediate family and 3 best friends will all be there. Fine, as MY family will be at out of town location for a family reunion (3 days where family from all over flies in) that starts the evening their "eloping". I'm annoyed. If you're going to elope, by all means, go for it. Don't call it an elopement if it's actually just a small intimate last minute wedding and don't do it while my entire family of 65 is there and only a few of us are selected to go. Also, I'm annoyed it's taking a whole night away from family I see once every 3 years at most.

Eye roll. It's also because anything she has done the past year annoys me so there's that.
