Tuesday Randoms

[Deleted]

Ugggg. I am so sick. It really sucks. Thankfully three hours of conference calls got cancelled today! So I'm staying in bed and taking a pretty legit sick day. It's kind of nice in someways, you know while the nausea subsides for about five minutes. Ha! What's everyone else up to?

[glitzyglow]

I just posted randoms, too, but I'll move mine here!

I am obsessed with the Hamilton soundtrack. I'm sad because I caught wind of it early last year and emailed my friend in Feb. 2015 about this cool musical I wanted to try to go see when I was in NYC next visiting him. HAHA! Not a real option now!

It is so gorgeous outside. I'm so jealous of anyone who gets to hangout outdoors today. It's beautifully sunny in the low 80s!

@pdx18 feel better!

My vacation with the bf starts next Wed, so I am just in countdown mode. The set times were just released, and we aren't real thrilled with how things are going to be laid out, but we are trying to make a real loose tentative game plan for our non-negotiable must see bands.

I also bought a sunscreen bottle flask to get us 10oz of liquor in each day and then we will just supplement with whatever they sell.

Today is storm weather day in the OK! Possible hail and tornados. Welcome to Oklahoma spring! Where if the allergens and earthquakes don't kill you, the flooding and tornados just might! I swear OK is on a hellmouth.

I had my DR. appointment to go over my MRI. I have stretched out some ligament I have never heard of (the one on the inside of my knee) and it has a few small tears, but is not torn. So I don't HAVE TO have surgery to repair it. However, he told me since I have dislocated it twice, the chances of it happening again without surgery are VERY high. BUT, I am going with rehab and bracing it for now. If I can avoid surgery, I will. I have to go back in a month to see how it is progressing.

I had a really great interview yesterday. I am crossing my fingers! Even though it's technically a lateral move title wise, I'd be going from a small company, to a HUGE one with way better benefits, pay, working atmosphere, opportunity for advancement...all that jazz.

The retirement benefits alone are amazing, they match 100% up to 6% of salary, plus contribute an additional 3% automatically. And with the bump in pay, I can contribute the whole 6% and still have a higher take home check than I currently have now. Since getting divorced, I haven't done a ton to plan for my future, but I feel like with this move, I could start back up, which would be a nice relief. I'm trying to not get too excited, but that is really hard, lol - I am a pretty unique perfect fit for this position, and I would have a hard time believing that someone else could match as well as I do, and personality wise, I think I would be a great fit as well.

Sorry, I am gushing about a job that I may not even get, but putting positive vibes into the universe never hurts, right?

[glitzyglow]

Good luck jigsy!!

Today's going to be an all-day job search day with a few appointments thrown in. Then hanging out at the beach tonight.

At some point I have to check in with my dissertation committee to see where they are with it. I hope lack of feedback isn't a bad thing.

[jojoandleo]

Sending you positive vibes, jigsy!

[housewife]

jigsy, good luck! That sounds amazing.

I am having an allergic reaction to some lotion and feel like I need to crawl out of my skin. I scratched my legs so bad I ended up bursting some blood vessals :/ After DD's cheer practice I am taking benadryl and passing out.

Good luck jigsy!

I posted on ML, but I got dumped last night and a few hours later found out that I'm the other woman. It's been a shitty fucking weekend/Monday/Tuesday. Tomorrow we're having lunch on the firm and I plan to have a couple mimosas for sure.

[glitzyglow]

@bigtowlittletoe, damn, I am so sorry.

[Deleted]

Nope, because we had odd conflicting schedules. But he met my mom and spent family time with me/my kid. I mean, in hindsight I should have been more curious I guess about things but I really just believed and trusted a very good liar.

[jojoandleo]

@bigtowlittletoe-I dated a guy "getting a divorce" (supposedly already moved out). I hung out with his work friends, too (All car finance guys who were all cheating, so, I should have known). Then one day, I got a call from his WIFE because she found my number on his phone frequently called. I ALSO found out, I wasn't even the only other woman. AND I knew the other girl he was fucking. AND the other girl knew about both the wife, and me... The suck.

[Deleted]

Jojo, I am sorry you were in a similar position. Some people really are terrible.

[jojoandleo]

Oh, and BEC girl who cried over my husband moving commented on my FB pic of MH and I. She said something like, "Good to see a picture of you kids." And it really annoyed me. If my friend posted it, I would be like "THANKS!" but because it is HER, I'm all, "What is THAT supposed to mean!?!" Like, good to see a pic of us, like there are never pics of us? Like you are saying something about the status of my marriage!?! I think I have the crazy.

I'm sorry it happened to you, too. It really does suck. BUT, the suck is on HIM, not YOU. You deserve better, and are now free to find better. *hugs*

[bl]

@bigtowlittletoe ugh, I am so sorry you had to go through that. I dated a married guy for a few months last year and even though I did nothing wrong it just felt so icky. I just don't understand how people can be so good at this kind of stuff.

[Deleted]

@bigtowlittletoe, I dated a guy for 6+ months who ended up ghosting me. He had a girlfriend of 10+ years. I found out about a year after he ghosted me. He did say he wasn't married. So that was truthful... he just wasn't single. People can be so cruel with other's emotions.

[boing]

I am so sorry! What an ass.

Good luck jigsy.

Omg @bigtowlittletoe, that's awful - I'm so sorry.

[1confused1]

Losing weight when your older sucks!

I did WW 7 years ago and lost 30 pounds in 14 weeks. This time around I've lost 18 pounds in 14 weeks, which I am happy about but it is coming off so much slower than before! I also have more to lose this time, which also sucks!

**brought to you by my disappointing WW weigh in today** :-(

[redredwine]

Oh bummer @pdx18! Feel better!!

It's the last 4 days of my job (starting new position on Monday) and I CANNOT FOCUS!! I feel like I Have so much to wrap up, but OMG. So distracted.

[Deleted]

Thank you all for the support and commiseration. <3 <3 <3

[thedutchgirl]

@bigtowlittletoe, I'm so sorry. He's a total asshole.

I'm not dating yet, and this doesn't make me want to start!

All of this!

In what is the final update, I got a message from her and they're going to "work it out." LOL. Mkay, lady. Good luck with that. I am slowly finding my peace within myself to be able to move on from this, sleeping a little more, eating ever so slightly more, etc. I'll be fine in due time, and that's very reassuring.

[jenstar]

Hope you're going ok @bigtowlittletoe.. At least his gf knows what he's like now, she can't stay in denial forever..
