Hump Day Randoms

We hired cleaners to come to the house every other week. Their first time was yesterday. At first I was having a hard time justifying spending the money, but when I came home last night and saw my bathroom and shower sparkling I got over it.

I am so jealous!

G has shitty work stuff going on (again) and it makes me sad and a bit worried for his health as he has not been sleeping and working 16 hour days.

The coolest people I met in Brazil were two married couples who each had two kids at home. They were so awesome and fun. Can you believe that?! Lol.

I managed a walk of shame after the wedding even though I didn't get laid. The groom's sister got shitfaced and was feeling very emotional because apparently the bride is a bitch to their family, so I took her back to her hotel at 4am and we ordered cheeseburgers from room service. She gave me shorts/t-shirt to wear and we started watching a movie and fell asleep. I woke up at 8am, balled up my dress, grabbed my shoes and bag, and went downstairs to get a taxi to my hotel. It looked exactly as bad as you think it did. hahahaha

@ello, I think you'll definitely be better off on your own. Enjoy!

glw, I hope work improves for G soon!

I'm running my first 5k next Saturday

I've been running full steam for the last two months and it's finally catching up with me. I worked late 4 days last week, and this week I feel like I'm just doing enough to get by.

I just lost two hours of work to a software glitch and now I want to scream, cry and leave. Ahhhh!

I think I'm doomed to be fat forever. I workout, nothing. I count calories, nothing. I don't know what else to do at this point.

Oh. I am also obsessed with thirty one now. Like, "buy all the things!" obsessed! I had one of those parties at my house, that's how much I love this shit. I can't stop shopping.

It really made my day! Every weekend I'm cleaning that darn master bath (and the shower, as much as I love it, is a total PITA - even though I squeegie it after every use), cursing the whole time.  It's just me using it majority of the time.  HOW in the world does it get that way?

I hope everything is OK with G. Does he like the job and is hitting a rough patch that will hopefully pass?

My lady comes Friday. It's the best thing ever.

My mom doesn't get why I don't clean before the housekeeper gets here. Uh....

Ehhh, that's hard to say. We had a long conversation about it last night (when he got home at 11pm and made dinner, lol). He has worked there for 12 years. It's a small family company and he's second in charge after the owners. He feels very loyal to them/the business, but they've really run him into the ground and even though he's given two ultimatums they don't seem all that eager to improve things. He is the manager of 8 other engineers and still has over fifty clients of his own. It's unsustainable...but it's been this way for 3 (4?!) years now. Add into that some serious issues with two of his recent hires, who were supposed to be taking a load off of him but have just eaten up more of his time, and it's just bad news.

glw that sounds rough! Poor G. If things still don't improve, what are his plans?

We're working on that, hehe. He has had offers from competitors trying to headhunt him, but it would mean a change in work dynamic/atmosphere and he's nervous about that, but ultimately I think he would be fine. Right now he's concerned that his current company would totally fall apart without him (which is totally true, although that is, in my mind, a result of shortsighted management by the owners).

I am glad there are some options for him, but I can understand how hard it is to leave after being there so long. Still, in the end he needs to look out for himself, which you know I hope it becomes less stressful for him soon!

Yep, I'm KU but I was trying to imply that I look forward to them becoming our cleaners. I'm finally realizing how my parents home was so clean.

ETA: But thanks! *throws confetti*

Congrats! And I full-heartedly believe in using kids for free labor teaching kids responsibility!

I'm running a 5K in a few weeks that I normally run with my MIL and BIL. The race is the day after BIL's wedding party so he's out and my MIL has decided not to run it with me. At first, I was kinda pissed that I'd be by myself but now I'm actually looking forward to it. I'm going to try and beat my personal best and I won't have to worry about someone keeping up with me.

I hear you. I always think I want to do a race with someone, but then I'm always glad I didn't. Good luck!

Every time I see the kid across the street mowing his lawn, I think "get ready, DS!"
