Friday Randoms

[bl]

My mom is having a procedure done today to look at her liver because her levels have been high and they don't know why.  Most likely is gall stones, but she doesn't have any other symptoms of that, less likely but still possible is cancer.  Please send happy thoughts for gall stones!

I also got my swim suit in from VS and I like it and feel good in it, but don't love it.  I have never confidently worn a 2 piece before and feeling even remotely good in this is a huge step for me.  I am thinking from posing and a little photoshop smoothing the couple areas I don't love can be fixed. I am tempted to post a pic to get some outside opinions, but posting a pic in a swim suit on the internet is kinda scary.

Good luck bl's momma! Let's go gallstones!

Also, I am sure you look fabulous in your bathing suit! Can you post a pic or link of the suit you bought? Also, remember that the model wearing the suit on the website and in the magazine most likely had those areas photo shopped, so you're basically a model!

I can't believe my staycation is almost over. Going to work on Monday is going to be rough.

Good thoughts sent to you and your mom today bl!

Update on date, I'm really glad I decided to have my house "company ready".

pantsoffdanceoff-DETAILS!

I "watched" the debates last night. Okay, I drank with my friends with this on in the background. Yeah, I am NOT a Republican. Buuut, two of my friends- we will call them Adam and Steve. Adam and Steve are best friends. They actually lived together for a LONG time. Then Adam got a boyfriend and moved out. Adam's boyfriend, well, I can't figure out if he has no personality or just doesn't like us. I know nothing about him and it's been over a year. Well, Adam and his boyfriend had issues and he vented to Steve. Steve now dislikes the boyfriend (for good reason) and it has caused a strain on the relationship. SOMEHOW I have ended up in the middle. They BOTH keep talking to ME about the other. All I will tell them is they need to talk to each other. Ugh.

I have off today and am at the hair salon now. I start a new job on Monday and I'm starting to get nervous.

My DD is with her dad tomorrow morning through Sunday afternoon. So I'll be hanging out with D since he won't have his kids this weekend.

There is a post floating around here that I could have written almost verbatim.

I'm struggling with the separation and have been told to "look what I'm doing to my family and my kids."

There was 1 non-negotiable item on our separation list. It happened. Everyone is begging me to reconsider it being non-negotiable.

Nobody else gets a vote in your marriage. Regardless of what the non-negotiable was, it was your boundary and apparently it was crossed. 
What you're doing to your kids? Showing them that you (and they) deserve to be happy regardless of how others might feel.

I'm much happier my parents divorced than I would have been had they stayed together. The people begging you to stay can fuck off.

Back from the hospital no stones and no tumors, but now that means we have no idea why her enzyme levels are so high. So good and slightly still sucky. Here is me in the suit, pdq I will remove. Thoughts?

[bg]

Hope it ends up being harmless bl!

And I really like that suit bl. In fact, I may get it for myself! But I'm definitely not a fashion person, so there's that...

Tonight I have a workout session with a friend. But before that I need to apply to a bunch of jobs and write at least part of an exam and do some class prep. And make good food choices. Maybe if I put that on my list of things to do I'll actually do it! :-P

Have a good Friday, everyone!

[idahome]

I'm meeting and old coworker for lunch at this hipster burger joint that's close to my office. Their fries are delicious so I'm pumped.

This weekend will be a work weekend for me and the last time I'm working for my old job so super yay for that.

I am going shopping and maybe to a movie this weekend. Yay for getting a full check. Even with insurance with holdings it's still more than I used to make. Wahoo for that!

I just transcribed a handwritten will from 1830. I feel emotional after reading about how the guy "bequeathed" his slaves and any "increase" they might have to his children and their heirs "forever."

I haven't budged on the weight front in a while. I am routinely working out and eating better. Come on weight...go down!

[abcdefu]

bl- loveeee it!!!

I feel your pain! I lost about 3-5lbs in the last 4 months and I have like 30lbs to lose. It's just not coming off! Grrrr!

I hope it's "just" gall stones for your mom bl!

Two weeks from Monday is my file day. Although it seems "fast" this year has seemed to crawl along at times.

So much this! My parents' marriage was horrible. Fighting constantly, and some got pretty intense and got us kids involved. I remember one violent fight that ended with my mom hugging my sister and I on the bed. We should not have been witness to that. Ever. They still fought after they divorced, for awhile anyway, but no where near as bad as they had been. I have never, nor will I ever, be in the "stick it out for the kids" camp.

I've got a busy night ahead. Going to happy hour with some work peeps (many of whom I do not know) at an outside grove with brickoven pizza. Then, meeting my cousins at Dave & Busters for a bit. Then off to meet Pepsi Guy at the bowling alley around 10. Should be fun!
