Just came back from the vet with AWESOME news. My dog has (probably) harmless growths in his mouth and two jacked up acl's. Yay. I mean fuck.
He apparently blew out his knee on his bad leg recently and we didn't notice because he's always had a limp with that leg. (I mean we noticed he was putting less weight on it but we thought it was his arthritis acting up since it didn't slow him down) this wouldn't be a big deal since that leg hasn't worked right for years, But the vet says now the good leg is starting to go fromthe extra pressure. Uuuuuggghhhhh. I have no idea how we could rehab this dog from surgery if it goes. He doesn't know what calm means. He'd have to be crated 24 7. Fuck.

Poor pup!
Spending Sunday with my parents really made me question if we'll all make it home alive from Disney. Please, god, let my sister be able to book us two hotels rooms with her discount...
DH is spending his day at Downtown Disney before flying home tonight. (He drove to Florida with my sister for her to start her internship this week.) I definitely got the short end of this stick.
I've fallen down a rabbit hole reading about the Sentinelese people. I am fascinated and it drives me crazy that we know so little about them. I want to go fly a drone into the forest on the island just to see what they're doing and how they live.
I keep putting off having a "come to jesus" talk with dh about his mom. They (dh and mil) keep talking about her moving into the basement. I keep saying no, but I don't think dh thinks I'm serious.
I swear on a stack of bibles that I will halt having the basement finished if he thinks this is going to happen. There is no way in hell that his mom is EVER moving in with us.
I have a meeting with #2 on site to finish my supervisor training -yay! Boo though that he declined our request for another supv to do hers with me. Hope that doesn't mean he has extra things to "discuss", aka chew me out for.

On Saturday I went to drive in to town to pick up some crap from the local Walgreens and our car battery had died.
I then had to endure a patronizing lecture from my brother as he helped jump the damn thing ("you should be proactive about replacing these things" blah blah). But he did point out that if I took it to Autozone they'd replace the battery for just the cost of a new one. Which ended up being $120.
So I know no one cares about dreams, but this one was kind of exciting. I had a dream that Kit Harrington came to my house to get a friend of mine because they were having a meeting about the next few episodes and apparently my friend and I were also on the show. I asked if I was supposed to be in the meeting and he said no because my character was going to be killed off soon. Sad about that. But Jon Snow was in my dream, so I don't care!
This is more RAC, but I have been eating horribly. My clothes are getting tight and I can't seem to stop. I've been in a much better place emotionally. Without all the anxiety it is much harder to keep weight off though. I need to start eating better.

I found out this weekend that our vet in DC committed suicide, and I just keep thinking about what a wonderful person he was.
I am ready to throttle my H for a whole host of reasons.
According to Fitbit, I spend approximately an hour of every night restless. Which probably explains why I'm always so goddamned tired in the morning. There is not enough coffee in the world right now.
I am supposed to go to trivia tonight, but I just want to be alone. But I have no other plans for dinner if I don't go.
And then when I'm feeling all I HATE EVERYTHING!, H said to me this morning, "Did you feel Velociraptor lie down on you at about 5:15?" I did not, but apparently the cat loves me so much that he randomly lies on top of me while I sleep. Awww. Knowing my kitty loves me makes everything OK.
Another random, why is it like pulling teeth to get my husband to pick out shit for the downstairs? We need tile, carpet and light fixtures. I'm at the point where I'm just going to do it myself and fuck him sideways if he doesn't like it.

Also, my introverted ass would like everyone in the world to go away right now. Just for an hour or so. I got exactly ZERO alone time all weekend long.
As a very random side note, I think I remember that you worked in a halloween store, right? I have arbitrarily decided to purchase an animatronic each year to add to our display. Last year's was great, but I think some of the electronics aren't working and she doesn't go off anymore. Do you have any idea how to get those fixed? If I ask at the store, will they know someone who is handy with those things (we are most definitely not.)

Depends on what type of store you bought it from. Spirit Halloween? Not a chance. Small independent store, they'll probably have a good idea of who you can contact to get it fixed.

You guessed correctly. I'm not sure we have any small independent stores here. It certainly falls under the "you get what you pay for". Maybe we'll be able to figure something out when we pull her out of the attic. Thanks!
Norovirus can suck it! Both DH and I are sick with it. So are my mom, my niece, and a friend who was at a cook out at my sister's house on Saturday. So far my kids are are OK, but I suspect their day is still to come.
AJL you have my deepest sympathies. Norovirus is the actual worst.
One of our VPs just told me he resigned, and asked me to keep it to myself. He's not in my dept, but a dept I work very closely with, and have huge issues with. I am bursting with the need to share my opinions.

The cleaning crew went through and cleaned all the windows today. Except they did crappy job and left streaks all over. Not only that, but they scratched the shit out of my service window. I immediately called their supervisor. While he's here, I'm going to point out that my trash hasn't been emptied in 2 weeks.
Today I learned that falling hard onto your back will turn off your fitbit.
What?! How?
Are you ok?
Yeah, I'm OK.
I slipped on the floor at home where it was slick with die ants die spray residue right backwards. When I went to sync my FitBit it was off. When I turned it back on, the time matched when I hit the floor.
