I miss my uber convenient Starbucks. It closed early this month. I am not a fan of the others. Bright spot? I will now be able to break my habit easier.

My bathroom is almost done! I think they are installing the mirror, cabinet, and the other hardware today. I just need to scrub the tub and put up the shower curtain.
Thank God it's Friday! This has been one long ass week.
DH and I started watching Game of Thrones. I'm not sure yet if I like it or not. I think we just watched the 4th episode. I'm willing to keep watching but if the women don't start stepping up more, I'm out.
DH and I binge watched seasons 1-3 and then re-watched those seasons a second time before watching season 4. With all the places and characters to keep track of, I got much more out of the second viewing.
There are strong female characters, keep watching.

It took me most of the first season to get into it.
I just bought my first rice cooker last week and now I'm left wondering why I waited this long to buy one. I always thought it was a silly single purpose gadget, but it's wonderful.

My fingers continue to go numb every day in my office, and nobody seems to give a shit about how cold I am. And they won't approve my telework request. This is SO DUMB. I can literally go an entire day without talking to anyone. Why can't I do this work at home where I won't be frozen?
I need this day to end. It isn't even noon yet. I think my boss is going to be out this afternoon but I need her gone hours ago already. I need a couple days full of quiet.
Also, I got the microplane thing to do zoodles. I feel like I waste SO MUCH vegetable with it. I really don't want a big one, though. I threw away so much last night. Maybe the answer is to grate it up and make bread...or some such other think I can't think of right now.
"Not gonna lie; I kind of keep expecting you to post one day that you threw down on someone who clearly had no idea that today was NOT THEIR DAY." ~dontcallmeshirley

Before I left work today I found a balloon I thought H had disposed of. It was missing the ribbon that was holding it. One of the three non/limited verbal beings in my house it to blame for it. I'm worried one of them ate it.

Dammit. I'll send up good thoughts that no one ate it, that they just hid it in the house somewhere.

I'm sure exhausted due to stupid H last night. I want him to bring me food tonight cause I'm not cooking and I don't care if I eat over my maintenance today - I just can't be bothered. I barely want to move off the couch. If he complains, I will shank him.

I felt like that this morning, I just wanted to stay in bed all day and do nothing... but it's not b/c of DH. I also have gotten teary-eyed at like 5 of the poems in the poetry thread, the thread about the 9-yr old girl in Ferguson dying in her bed, and the other thread about False Narrative/Margret Sanger. I think I'll have to break from here today b/c I can't cry at work between calls and report reviews.
I emailed my dr. about low energy and gaining weight this week (which seems to happen every few years), and they ordered a full blood work-up. I did my fasting bloodwork this morning, and everything is 'normal.' Of course it is.
This might turn out to be a bragplaint, but I don't know and I can't find out.
I have extra money in my paycheck. It was two weeks ago and today, I just noticed since we were on vacation. I tried to login to get my stub, but I forgot my password and I'm waiting on an administrator to give me access.
The crazy fucking thing about this place is, it's just as plausible that someone gave me a raise w/o telling me, as it is that someone effed up my withholding or something. If you'll recall, I recently found out my boss didn't know I reported to him for the last year and a half.
I really wish someone would reset my password before I think about spending this on new fall goodies.

I'm so excited - it looks so pretty already.
Never mind. My FIL messed up the wall putting the towel bar up, so they have to spackle, sand and paint that area again. Plus, they found a crack in the toilet tank so we need to get a new toilet.
Maybe this weekend. Sigh.
FIL is very willing to help, but something like this always happens. I wish DH would have more confidence in himself to do basic home repairs.

We can help you spend it. What do you need?
You have my permission. It's almost officially a bragplaint*. My gross is listed at 9% higher. I think I need to measure my calves for size 6 wide calf boots. Almost for dealing with as fucking weird as this place is as much as for the $$.
*Now someone tell me how to ask my boss-who-doesn't-really-think-I-should-report-to-him if he gave me a raise?
I'm sitting in Starbucks and can over hear the two (loud) men next to me talking. They are debating if Ben Carson could possibly be as smart as Trump. On the one hand, Carson is a top neurosurgeon so he must be smart, but OTOH is he as smart as Trump? They both agree that Trump is super smart. I couldn't help myself from bursting out laughing.

When I was at my in-laws a few weeks ago, I went to some dinner at their church and heard someone say, "Well, I really like Trump. He has some GREAT! ideas. But he just doesn't have Jesus in his heart. You can tell. Ben Carson has Jesus in his heart."
We woke up this morning to the smell of smoke, which wasn't terribly alarming seeing how pretty much all of Washington and Oregon are on fire. Anyway, we were still only 1/4 awake when someone out side locked or unlocked their car, and H leaped out of bed and dashed through the house--naked--looking for the fire. Because he thought the beeping from the car outside was a smoke alarm, LOL.
I think it ended up being a grass fire a few miles from us.
