Wednesday Randoms

Who said airport food had to be bad??? I'm sitting here eating this delish steal cut oats with organic yogurt, nuts, honey and fruit. I hate eating greasy food when I'm on vacation so I'm glad I stumbled upon this gem!

I love airport people watching. And it's reminding me that there are lots of "fish in the sea" even though I HATE that saying.

P was so cute last night. I had to get up at 3am so I kissed him good bye last night. He was like "will you please kiss me when you leave; I will miss you!!" He's such a little lover. He's also reading amazingly well already considering he's only in 1st grade!

The one year date of my separation from STBX is coming up where we can actually file for divorce. It's giving me a lot of anxiety. I went through all of these feelings and anxiety a year ago when I moved out, worked through it, and have been really happy for awhile now. We communicate very infrequently and only about the dog. But now I have to go through it all over again for the actual paperwork and communicating about everything and I don't wanna. I'm an avoider by nature (and really, that's what got us into this whole mess) and would rather just pretend it's not happening. Ugh.

Hugs and with you right now with the anxiety.

Mediation today. I need lots of thoughts and prayers. I so need this over.

Ok, it depends on how long it takes.

Oh, so NOW it is Wednesday! GAH UNIVERSE!

I had dinner with my friend who I am living with. Her GF is a firefighter and works 24 hour shifts, so it was just the two of us and so much fun! I really love her. When we were leaving, I was all, "Umm, I don't know how to get home form here and my phone is about to die, so, I am going to follow you." (Keep in mind, I have been here about 4 times in the last month with her and I left my car charger at home.) She was all, "In some ways, you are adulating the shit out of life, then in others, it's like, you don't even have your shit together." I laughed so hard, because it is soooo true. It reminds me of a lot of the posts on here, lately. In some ways, we are all adulating the shit out of life, then in others, we really need to get our shit together.

Good luck glynn

Hugs TR it will br so much better when it's over, you won't ever have to think about it again!

[jojoandleo]

TR-are you doing anything after your divorce? My friend and I went sky diving after hers. Not to celebrate her divorce, but as a symbolic act of starting her new life. It was actually really good for her!

Hey ladies. Hugs to those who need them. This morning J's grandpa passed away. . His grandpa (and grandma) pretty much raised him as a small child (his mom was very young) and they were very close. Actually the only family J maintains a relationship with. I'm sad for him. His grandma actually called me at work (no one ever really calls my job), thankfully J had already texted me so it was not a shock. His grandpa was so sweet and a very religious, kind man. If you're the praying type t&ps are appreciated.

Big hugs @blueyes623.
I'm struggling with my health lately and it's awful. I've gained too much weight but I'm so exhausted all of the time I have no energy to work out and I can't get myself back on healthy foods. I'm not sleeping well either. I have a sleep study coming up so hopefully that will help. I just hate feeling like a sloth.

[glitzyglow]

So sorry @blueyes623.

My new life goal is to be more productive and utilize my time better. Last night I accomplished all my house chores, did yoga, and started to learn the piano. I woke up today and did a morning stretch video. I feel so good today!

I deleted tinder yesterday, too. I really want to focus on me for the rest of the year and I'm actually really excited about it.

[calle28]

Sorry @blueyes623. GL today glynn.

I met my BF's friends last night and didn't get home until 1:30 in the morning. I had to wake up at 6. So I decided not to wash my face and wear second day makeup. In my defense, I only wore light powder and mascara. But I know it's still gross.

[katieido]

I had a phone interview this morning, I hope she liked me enough for an in person. Job hunting is so demoralizing, I'm thankful to have had many interviews in the month I've been out of work, but nothing has yielded an offer. So frustrating.

[jojoandleo]

So, you know how business skirts have two layers? The slip-ish underlayer and the top one? My skirt is billowy, but the slip is like a pencil skirt. And it's too tight. my ass keeps making it ride up and I keep thinking my skirt isn't covering my butt. Nope. Just the slip layer. I want to just cut it out. What purpose does that layer serve, really?

[1confused1]

Me too @pdx18

I'm currently sitting in my doctors office hoping for a AD prescription. I'm hoping it helps me feel less overwhelmed and able to get back to feeling good about myself.

Positive thoughts to everyone who needs them.

I'm sick and am pretty much over adulting this week. I have a project due on friday and am supposed to run a half marathon on sunday and I feel like crap.

It's a lining to keep the dress/skirt laying properly so there's no weird friction between the clothes and your skin/undergarments.  Also used to block light if the colors are light enough.  FWIW, you can just rip it out if it's annoying.

So, @pdx18, doriswe, I watched all the episodes of Scream Queens last night. I liked it. It's campy, but purposefully so. I LOVE Emma Roberts character.

Did anyone else notice the "When has anything bad happened in a Best Buy parking lot?" quote? Was that a nod to Serial?

It's really well done, don't you think? It's so freaking campy and inappropriate! This is a good time to confess I watch it with DD.  I'm laughing my ass off at the sexual comments and she's trying hard to act like she doesn't know what they're saying.  Parenting win!

I like it. I especially liked them beating the shit out of the guy who whistled and was all "of course I'd tell you to smile next, it's my thing." LOL.

I like that it is supposed to be kind of dumb. 

[jigsy]

I think I like Scream Queens...I don't know. I have a pretty irreverent sense of humor and I am definitely not the PC police, but I also feel like saying un-PC things to be funny is a little played out, especially by Ryan Murphy, so it makes me wonder if there isn't some truth for him underneath the humor.

I'll keep it going a little longer, but I have a feeling that it will start to feel really stale.

Im currently on month 31 of no job and I can count on 1 hand the number of actual interviews I have had in that time.  If you are getting at least 1 for every month of unemployment thats pretty good!

I am so tired. I just want to go home and sleep my face off.

[Eureka1984]

I'm upset with my para in my classroom. She is such a drama queen and she is older than me. I told her that I hate that she is constantly on her cell phone and her excuse is that she has kids. I'm going to give it to next week and then head up with administration. But I hate throwing people under the bus

[doglove]

Hugs TR. I just went through it all, but I was able to pay the lawyer to do all the filing and court appearances. It's been pretty anxiety reducing for me.

I hadn't planned on it or even thought about it, really. I don't know when it will be final. Probably right before/around the holidays. I'll think about that.

This is a great idea too - I'm going to get a new tattoo on Friday and going on a mini-vacation next week to the smokies to celebrate mine (will be final on Friday).

This is my plan. I told STBX I found a lawyer who would do it for $650 plus court fees and did he want to split it and have the same lawyer do his stuff, too, since we're not fighting over anything and he agreed. So that will be HUGELY helpful for my anxiety.

It doesn't help that I have a TON of work stuff going during the same time - new duties I took on and covering for someone going out on maternity leave. I feel like from now until the end of the year, I'm going to be really pushing my emotional limit.

Hugs.

Hugs to all the ladies who need them!

Oh and to make you laugh, I made a turkey burger for dinner and grabbed an orange flavored (my favorite)can of seltzer water. I sat down to eat and opened the can and took a drink. I legit spit it out! I realized I grabbed one of my roommate's cans of craft (I think)beers instead. Now I am waiting for her to come home so I can tell her and hope she finds this as funny as I did!
