Thirsty Thursday

What is making you want to drink?

GBCN. Look, I am 100% a privileged white girl. I grew up in Podunk suburbs, USA to hippy parents. My life as a child was peace, love, and homebirths. I am a liberal, feminist, love everyone person. And sometimes, my head is up my own ass. Sometimes, I don't want to admit that I am racially insensitive. But, sometimes I am. And it shouldn't take 10 POC telling me that, or 10 POC and one white person before I get it. I get wanting to be defensive. I mean, I am liberal! I support BLM!  I cheered at Holtzclaw spending the next 5 lifetimes in jail!  But NONE of that matters.  When someone tells you you are being racially insensitive, shut up and listen.  I watched "Chelsea does" last night and it was an episode on race.  I wanted to pick up my TV and throw it out the window.  I 100% understand the rioting in the streets.  I am ready to burn shit down. 

BernieBros.  I just can't.  If those "Liberal feminist" assfuckers don't see their subtle misogyny, then STOP CALLING YOURSELF FEMINIST.  You aren't.  Period. 

My inability to focus at work.  I am ADHD and I really think I need to start taking something.  My inability to focus is going to cost me my job, that I love.

I'm having a rough go of it. I'm still really affected by Paco's passing and at the same time work has gone into major overdrive. Meanwhile I'm totally unable to focus like I should so it takes me longer to do this work, which means I'm working really late, and don't get the downtime I need and in turn don't sleep. It's terrible. I feel like I'm losing my mind. My friend was awesome and showed up at 9 last night with wine and cupcakes. We watched old episodes of SATC until 1am. I still barely slept. Ugggg this is awful.

Kinder parents and their endless questions about school events - I'm chairing a movie night for kids whose parents are attending a seminar tonight. A kinder mom asked how many people would be providing child care and what would they be doing. Ok fine, 2 adults and the movie Inside Out. I find out today that said mom wondered if she could bring her 3 yo who's being PT and if we could watch him ? Use some common sense lady - either put them in a pull up for 2 hrs or leave him at home :/

I want my D to be DONE !! w so I can fully put asshat behind me ... I'm in dating mode and just really want everything over and done with !

Sorry you ladies are struggling, hugs.

My divorce is finally making some progress and I'm happy. It shouldn't have taken us 8 months to agree on what we had agreed on before we moved out, but at least we are on the same page again. Fingers crossed we can sign an agreement and file it without him changing his mind again.

I'm more stressed about money than I have ever been in my life. Going from two incomes to one was tough. I think I'm finally adjusting my lifestyle though.

Lots of positive things!

Our Employee Development Goals for FY 16 are due tomorrow. OF COURSE I put it off until now and I am pounding my head against my desk trying to figure out what the hell to write.

Cooking for the first time tonight in my new place.... New schedule is rough with me being the only on to tend to DD2's needs with her behavior issues. So far it has been good with only one meltdown but I am running all the time.

Joining pinkdutchtulips -- I also just want my D done. The administrative stuff just keeps me thinking about it which puts me in a really negative place. And asshat (to borrow from your description, PDT) has zero motivation to keep things moving quickly because he's happy as a clam with his girlfriend.

I found out yesterday that my divorce was finalized on 1/20. So, that is making me drink in a celebratory way.

In an "I need to calm my nerves way" I need a drink because this morning I found out that tonight I will be meeting the step-father of the guy I've been seeing. We've been seeing each other for a few months, and things are wonderful, but we haven't taken the step to meet family/friends yet. We have date nights every Thursday, and due to an urgent work thing, pseudo-BF's step-father needs to spend the night at his house. I haven't had to "meet the parents" since 2003 when I met my ExH's mother. I'm freaking out! I hate meeting parents! I get awkward and make weird jokes. Dear god, help me.

(I'm really fine with it, I just wasn't expecting it.)

Hugs to all those struggling!

Today I met with the surgeon for my tonsillectomy and He told me it was by far one of the hardest for adults to recover from.

Im trying not to freak out but I am legitimately freaked for the. Pain because I hate pain. I know I have to do this but he didn't reassure me.

Hugs to all!

Everything is making me crazy right now, I need a break.

I think life is BEC to me lately. Like, I could win the lottery and I would be like, "Thanks life, look at all those MUTHAHFUCKING TAXES I have to pay now!"

[jigsy]

Other than work, I don't have much to complain about...and since I am not doing a ton to change my situation, I feel like I can't complain. I have been relying too much on landing the "dream job" that I haven't done any other applying/searching because nothing else is striking my interest - although to be fair, my looking around has been limited. So I guess I'll have a drink to that tonight...lol.

Also, I painted my nails last night and did a sloppy job and didn't clean up, so I am sitting at my desk, trying to peel the excess polish from my cuticles. A great use of time.

And lastly, I am listening to "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" and I am nearing the end. I want to keep listening, but dammit. So sad. I already teared up at lunch just hearing "I am not worried, Harry...I am with you" Dumbledore.

First of all, I'm so sorry. But this literally made me LOL.

Day 17 of my period with no sign of stopping. This happened this summer and the NP couldn't find anything that could be causing the long periods except the 40 pounds I've lost ?

[glitzyglow]

I'd like to drink if it would help my face. My skin is breaking out from hormones and it looks awful. I was already dealing with combination skin to the extreme due to the weather and now I've got cystic break outs to deal with along with hormone surges. Awesome.

The morning sucked because I had to see and talk to my x and the afternoon was a little tough at work, but I had a nice dinner with a couple coworkers so it feels like the day was ok.

WORK. It is gonna be the motherfuckin death of me. We switched to a new electronic health record, and I am the "Superuser". The docs are driving me batshit crazy. I've had a drink almost every night after DD goes to bed. But I'm starting the 21 day fix on Monday so that has to stop. I'll miss it.
