The cold weather has finally arrived in Florida!!


I've got the whole week off. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with myself.

How cold is it by you? It's 67 down here and the high is 77 today.

It is currently 29F here in Nashville. BRRRR.

I don't work today but here I am, awake, playing online. I don't have much planned today...laundry, cleaning, library trip, store run. One of my new shirts has a really weird neck clasp, so I need to go the store and buy something to replace the clasp. I also need to go for a run.

I recently found an old Elvis CD of love songs that I bought when I was 12. I can't stop listening to it. Can't Help Falling in Love might be my favorite song, ever.

I'm working today, but in vacation mode! I'm off the rest of this week and part of next week and tomorrow is my bday. I also have my out of state interview while I'm off. I'm nervous and excited.
I'm also disinterested in some new things that we are going live with at work soon because I'm hoping not to be here. They keep telling me all the shit I will need to do differently and I don't care!!!

After working most of the weekend I'm taking most of today off to go holiday shopping with a friend. I'm so excited!

And it's supposed to get cooler as the week goes on, which I'm looking for to as well. I may be able to wear boots for friendsgiving!

Half of my team ended up late for work this morning, because all of us had weird issues with our alarms. Very weird.

That many people being late on the same day is unusual, and no one ever blames alarm issues. (We're more likely to admit we shut it off intentionally and didn't feel like getting out of bed)!

Another person at work checking in! I just to go back into my bed with my heated mattress pad! Wahhhhhhh!

I actually had a social life this past weekend and I'm paying for it now, but it was nice to go out and do stuff. Thank god it's a short work week!

[Deleted]

Work today, tomorrow and hopefully only half of Wednesday. Then a date that makes my knees weak Wednesday night. I'm kid free til Sunday, so who know what else I'll get into. Hopefully wrap up my secret santa gifting and get the house cleaned.

My electric blanket changed my life for the better, lol. I'll never go another winter without an electric blanket or something similar like a heated mattress pad.

SS#1 moved in with us back in May when he got a new job near us. SDIL moved over here after she finished the contract she was on, she's been here since about the end of August. They're good people, and we're all working to get along, but the apartment they're looking into isn't going to be ready for occupancy until February (it's new construction), and I think if we're still trying to fit 4 adults into a house that previously only had 2 in it, I may actually explode. I never get alone time any more! Also, when does it go from "staying with" someone to "living with" someone? I'm pretty sure they've crossed into "living with" us, so the maid service ends! The litter box is in their bathroom, so I'll take care of that, but I'm not cleaning the bathroom of 2 grown ups. 

Well, I could go on and on about this, but really, it boils down to feeling like I've lost my "me" time. I'm an introvert and need my alone time, but the only time I can get it is after everyone goes to bed. I'm not working, so it's no biggie to stay up late, but what if I want to be doing stuff alone during the day? And what if I want to do it without a bra on? Being able to go without a bra is what makes a house a home!

My doors are in and they look great! My only issue is with the way the guy out the deadbolt back in. It turns differently than inn used to and give me a hard time when I'm trying to unlock it with the key. I suppose that is something I can fix myself though. My stepdad came over yesterday morning and finished the handle of the storm door (didn't have the right size drill bit on Saturday).

I am working today, full day. Tomorrow I'm here until 2, then home to finish last minute stuff before we leave for NC tomorrow night! I canny wait!!

[glitzyglow]

On November 1st I made it my goal to run at least one mile a day (except for Saturdays...I need a day off!). I also tried to make better food choices. I just weighed in and I'm down 7 lbs since the 1st! Hopefully I don't gain it all back on Thursday, lol.

A is sick he was throwing up with a fever and chills from 9:30pm last night to 3:30am this morning. Kind of ruined the end of The Walking Dead for me, if I'm being honest. I left shortly after he puked the first time because a) I was going to anyway and b) omg I can't stand throwing up.

I'm crossing everything and chugging grape juice and elderberry syrup in the hopes that I won't get it. I'm going to drop off some Gatorade after work, but I'm just leaving it on the porch. Sorry babe, I love you, but I don't wanna catch that!

if it's food poisoning, you should be fine. If it was a bug, you would have been exposed to it already..

[mommadukes]

busy working. Hoping to make some plans to go out with a friend on Wednesday night, then craziest night of the year!

AGREED!!! The heated mattress pad really helps my nerve pain to the point where I can't sleep without it!! In the summer I just turn the air up so I can turn my mattress pad on! Lol!

I was not even a little ready to start my day this morning. Work is really messing with my anxiety right now. I think some of that will be going away now that I finally got feedback on a project I'm working on. I'll still be overworked, but at least I know what I'm doing now.

I'm really hoping that the office is quiet Wednesday and Friday of this week. It would be great to get ahead on a project and do some organizing while people are off on vacation. Plus, then maybe I'd be able to take a few days off soon.

[1confused1]

I work from home on Mondays and my kids usually go to their after school program (they are off this week). My daughter decided to stay home with me and we have had the best day! She is such a different kid one on one.

[dreamcrisp1]

Saw my old best friend today. That was awkward. First time in 2.5 years. We made awkward eye contact and kept walking. Blah. We were best friends for 10 years before we stopped being friends. Weird.

We're going to Montreal for NYE. That should be fun!

The cute guy I met volunteering friend requested me today. I texted him about another thing and he took a while to respond. There's other minutia but in the end, I think if they like you, you'll know. blargh I don't know that much about him so I'm not twitterpated.
