I am so frustrated.
CW had to work Friday night. Boss stopped by, and they had an informal discussion about what what we are building. The item that I have spent the last 2.5 hours working on has been cut. My CW forgot to tell me until right now.
This happens all the time, and I have no idea how to prevent this. I am so tired of asking to be kept in the loop/update me/etc. I don't know what more to do to cut this off at the pass. I feel like a broken record.
H and I are going to Orlando at the end of the week. Any suggestions on what to do (we are going to universal studios for sure...but we are up in the air for everything else) ?
I'll be in Orlando for work this week too! Epcot Food and Wine is on and is great.

But I'm going to go out for a while (ate lunch at my desk so I can spend the whole hour doing what I want) and recharge. And MH will be home after I get out of work.

I posted on MMM but I will throw this out here today too. My stepdad passed away suddenly in January. My mom and sister are going through some of the last boxes of his stuff and discovered he was married before his marriage to his ex-wife. My mom seems to have had no idea. Googling their names together brings up an old, grainy announcement and in his stuff was love, letters, wedding invites, her receipt for her blood work and a wedding album. Although it doesn't affect me in the least, I'm feeling odd about the whole thing.
It's a little pricey, but I get discounted entrance at the conference I go to. Basically in the evening, they have stalls all around the world selling foods from the permanent Epcot countries, and some others, with wine and beer. The food is actually really tasty and it's a fun atmosphere. At the end of the night there's fireworks.

I'm working from home this afternoon, since we had a plumber out this morning to replace the 1940s hardware in our tub and it turns out the whole wall behind the shower is rotted! Ew! I'm thankful we're renters and someone else is paying this bill!
Anyway, I'm using this time to also catch up on some laundry and housework. I am (of course) working too, but I'm always grateful to have extra time at home with my kitties, and extra time to wear comfy pants.
ETA: Here's a picture of a really cool pumpkin I saw over the weekend. The one on the left is real, and someone carved it, stitched it up, and carved the little one its eating! The boring one on the right is fake.
I'm sorry. That would upset me as well. "The past is the past" and all that, but I can't imagine not sharing that info with a spouse even as a brief mention.

I'm blown away by how small the world is sometimes. I was at a half marathon in NYC and I ended up running into a friend from grad school who lives in Philly now. It was awesome to have an unexpected catch up.
Also, maybe this is flameworthy but we did the High Line for the first time and I really wasn't blown away. Maybe we caught it at a bad time but it was almost as crowded as times square so it wasn't the relaxed stroll I was picturing.
Mr. P has a meeting in South Louisiana in the morning. We spent 9 hours in the truck today. Ugh. I hope it's a short meeting so we can stay in NOLA tomorrow night. We have painters at our house so we have to get home by Thursday.
BUT. A nice man just brought special and I mean fucking special pizza to our room.
GUMBO PIZZA (Sweet Peppers, Andouille, Onions, Roux with Chicken). SAUSAGE NIGHTMARE PIZZA (Garlic sauce, Andouille, bacon, Canadian Bacon, sausage crumbles). Oh.em.gee. Cajun party in my mouth.
We didn't get the Muffuletta pizza but now I am scared I missed something amazing. Olive muff mix. uh yeah. We had to draw a line. This is like Sophie's choice. It was too hard to pick. First.World.Pizza.Problems.

Today was a busy day and this weekend was busy too. I need a day of rest and now people want me to travel tomorrow because they can't make plans. I am aggravated and don't know what to do about it.
