It's Tuesday

[Deleted]

It's going to warm up a bit today. I just want to hang out at work rather than actually working. That's all I've got for now.

We had a nice sunny day yesterday, and it's supposed to hit the low 60's today. I still wore boots with my dress today. When do they need to be retired for the season? Once spring is officially here? I'm not up on fashion so I have no idea when it's no longer boot season, lol.

I took DDs to the mall to get new sneakers last night. DD2 got light up Skechers. I'm actually kind of jealous because they are pretty cool- 3 different colored lights and different patterns. I want one in a woman's size 9. DD1 had a hard time finding a pair but eventually decided on a pair of bright coral/salmon Nikes. I will definitely not lose either of them at night what with one in light up sneakers and the other in glow-in-the dark sneakers, lol.

My cat was a dick at around 3am and then again at 5am, waking me up both times. Then my roommate's cell phone rang several times in the living room at 5:30am (she was in bed and forgot it, I guess) and it woke me up. I went out to see who it was to make sure it wasn't an emergency because it kept ringing (it wasn't) and my cat acted like a fool again because I was up, and I finally got him settled down into bed with me. I woke up when my alarm went off an hour later with a massive headache that's still lingering despite taking medicine.

There was a non-injury wreck that screwed up the morning commute. It took me 30 minutes to go 2.5 miles. I was late for work.

There is a guy in my head that I went out with some time ago and I can't get him off my mind. It's frustrating. I turned on Spotify this morning to my "Discover Weekly" list that Spotify creates and tailors for individual users and the first song that came on was the song that said guy posted to IG after our date. It was a really sweet song, which made it all the more confusing why he disappeared, but seriously, why today, when he's on my mind? Ugh.

Sorry for the vents. This morning has not started off well.

It was 58 at 7:30AM this morning..... I love warm weather.

Travel day! I hope I can get some writing done on the plane.

I feel weird.

I had therapy yesterday, and I really liked the dr. And it felt good to talk out some of my stuff. But now I feel kind of empty. I think that is the best I can describe how I feel. I got some meds, so hopefully in a few weeks, I can feel a little more like myself.

Work is bothering me today, but for a petty reason. One of my co-workers just passed his licensing test for our industry. Everyone is walking over to congratulate him and the office manager sent out this big congrats email to the whole office. I'm annoyed because when I passed my tests (I have two separate licenses) I got nothing. I mean, I didn't really expect it since I was doing something required for my job, but seeing as how they are making this huge deal for this other person, it's making me a little bitter.

jigsy sorry you're feeling icky. I would be annoyed with the work thing too. My boss is horribly inconsistent with those type of things, luckily I know that about her, so I chalk it up to that and can usually get over it faster.

It has been SO nice here the last few days. I have been taking walking breaks at work and doing my workouts outside at night.

Next week one of my best friends is coming here for two days and we are doing Disney. I am super excited for our time together and know we will make great memories, but she is going to want to do all the lame rides I think are torture lol.

Things with Dallas and I are going really well, but I feel like we are kind of at a point where not much else can progress without closing the distance. Part of me wants him to move sooner rather than later like early to mid summer instead of late summer, but the other part of me is so freaked out by the idea of someone uprooting their whole life for our relationship. I have no reason to think this can't work, but nothing is guaranteed and once we are with each other all the time consistently things could change.

jigsy , sounds like he is a tool and no one expected him to pass. You on the other hand are so bright and together it was no surprise. Not fair, but that's the hardship in being above average.

Well, that is partially true. This was the second time he took the exam. Lol.

Here is a random question...Vegas' sister and I follow each other on Instagram. We have a friendly relationship, but not an independent relationship outside of Vegas (other than random likes/comments on Instagram).

I would think he would tell her we broke up. They are close, they live together, and I got the sense, based on our conversation, that he talked to her about his thoughts on his relationship. (He said he needs to be alone right now, and he knows that means that I may not be available or even want to see him again when he is ready - I said he is an idiot, and he said yeah, and that is pretty much what sister and everyone else has told me too).

So the question...do I need to address the social media friendship with his sister with her? I don't think she has liked and commented only because I was seeing her brother, and if she genuinely enjoys the content I post, then by all means, she can continue to follow.

Maybe saying anything would just be weird. I was thinking of just shooting her a text that was like "Hey - It's been great getting to know you, but I'm not seeing your brother anymore, so please don't feel obligated to continue following me or whatever"

Typing it out, I am seeing that is it kind of clunky and weird...maybe I say nothing. LOL.

jigsy I think you are over thinking this. I just wouldn't say anything.

I was going to say the same.

So the kids and I decided we were adopting a cat when I move out of my Dad's. I (stupidly) went to the shelter and fell in loooovvvveeee with this amazing 6 year old, snuggly, talkative, FIV+, little stinker. He's been at the shelter since January, so I selfishly had some hope he would be available in a couple more weeks. Well, he got adopted. I'm glad he has a home, BUT I WANTED HIM! I literally cried about it. I think it was more because I realized how hard being in the in-between faze of not having my own place is really wearing on me.

[glitzyglow]

I work alone and put a sign as to what time I return (I work with the public and they come and go). It's amazing how many people read the sign and then try to OPEN THE DOOR. Like, what are they expecting to happen? If the sign says returning at 1:30pm, why are they jiggling the door at 1:15pm? I just watched a woman read the sign, look at her watch, and then try to open the door 20 minutes before the return time. Imagine if I didn't lock the door, they'd open it and see me sitting with the lights out snarfing down my lunch, lol.

We had a nice sunny day yesterday, and it's supposed to hit the low 60's today. I still wore boots with my dress today. When do they need to be retired for the season? Once spring is officially here? I'm not up on fashion so I have no idea when it's no longer boot season, lol.

I took DDs to the mall to get new sneakers last night. DD2 got light up Skechers. I'm actually kind of jealous because they are pretty cool- 3 different colored lights and different patterns. I want one in a woman's size 9. DD1 had a hard time finding a pair but eventually decided on a pair of bright coral/salmon Nikes. I will definitely not lose either of them at night what with one in light up sneakers and the other in glow-in-the dark sneakers, lol.

As someone that wears a size 3 1/2 - 4 in kids, I have a hard time finding shoes that aren't velcro, don't light up, or don't have animated characters on them ..although those sketchers sound pretty awesome!!

Adults want light up shoes too!  I do have a very subdued pair of Run Disney shoes by New Balance.  They are Dumbo themed and have a small picture of Dumbo on the heel.  

You need to start stalking the shoe sale page at Nordstrom.  You can find stuff in your size that isn't covered in glitter and rainbows.
