I'm a hot mess right now - work is crazy, a friend is going through a hard time, home is stressful -- but, we got an ok to close on the house we're selling (after almost a month of delayed closings - grrr!) and I have a fun-filled weekend coming up so yay for those!
It is all dreary outside. I just want to go home and cuddle up in a blanket in the couch and watch the Mindy Project. I love that show so much and this watching one episode per day isn't cutting it. I need to binge watch it.

Yay mother Tucker!
My cousin is the editor of a small town paper. Someone shared an article he wrote today, and it makes me want to throw things. He writes like a mommy blogger. It is so smaltzy and cloying, but people eat this crap up.
I'm sitting at the mechanic waiting for my remote starter to be installed. Taking all bets as to what reason they will inevitably give for me having to bring the car back a third time.
Looking forward to our vacation this weekend - man, we need this!

I hope that it goes smoothly and you're done with them after today.
We have a VERY open floor plan at work. My monitor is kinda-sorta private, but they're moving three people to the empty desks behind me so there goes my privacy. This makes me really sad. I can still GBCN and check facebook from my phone, but I don't want to play on my phone too much at work either. Sigh.

48 hours left in the U.S. Then I get a horrific red eye flight back with two cranky four year olds. Why hasn't someone invented a transporter of some sort so that I don't have to pack and travel?
Our house appraised for $33k more than what we paid for it! And we bought 2 years ago. Of course, we've put almost that much money into it. Anyway, it means our re-fi will go through with flying colors, and without us having to bring money to the table to get up to 20%. According to that we have 28% equity now.
On the down side, I splashed water on my laptop today and now I have big water marks on my screen. This was the second time I spilled a large amount of water in 12 hours.
I think that I really want to work for the program, "Who do you think you are?" I've had so much fun tracking down some family history lately. Really interesting stuff. I found my great grandparent's homesteading shack this morning!
sfy, I'd feel funny asking for a monitor screen since no one else here has one. I don't handle anything confidential, so I really just want to play on the internet unseen by coworkers. We don't even have real cubicles, just large desks with low walls that we can see over. Everything is very out in the open. My monitor somewhat faces a wall now, but I'm at an angle and people sometimes do walk behind me. Now I'll have three people RIGHT behind me.
I guess this means my productivity will go up? Lol.

Enjoy your weekend away!
Thanks! They finished it and hopefully this is the end of it.
Once we give away FIL's cat I'll be on freaking Easy Street, lol.

I wonder this all the time. I hope it goes as well as possible.

Today is DRAGGING even though work was nuts. I'm waiting for my MRI results and to hear back from yesterday's interview (I know. Too early. But still). I had two non-related NY numbers call and leave voicemails. I feel like I understand how a cat must feel when someone is dangling a toy that's just out of reach.

I decided yesterday that you will not know about the butterflies job until 11/23. You will talk to HR and all before then, of course, but she won't decide before then. You just have to wrap your head around that so you don't go crazy!
