It's FRIDAY...where is everyone?

[glitzyglow]

*edited bc the background on the Britney gif made me dizzy, lol.

[cuddlyevil]

I be working...it's dead here though.

[glitzyglow]

I'm working, too, although really that should read "working."

It is pouring rain here and I want to nap so badly.

[arielroux]

I'm working, unfortunately. It's absolutely gorgeous out today while I'm stuck in my office, and of course tomorrow is going to be like 60 degrees and pouring rain. We have had the worst luck with weather lately.

[TR]

I'm at work, but I'm not working because there's not much to do.

I ordered some stuff from Old Navy, lol.

I'm writing an email to my mom addressing our conversation Tuesday night, we haven't talked/texted/emailed at all since then which is very unusual for us. I dislike always being the one who has to reach out, but I don't think she will and the longer it goes on the weirder it will be when we do speak again.

[Deleted]

Yeah... work, work, work work.
I'm over my roommate and have been for awhile. I am looking for care for my pets over a holiday weekend due to someone taking a last minute R&R. I'm on Rover right now. My roommate doesn't want anyone in the apartment or to watch my dogs (I'd pay her). So it's like three times as much money.
And then I get a call from my apartment complex due to my dog getting out of the apartment (thanks roommate) and attacking the neighbor dog. They want to do a pet interview Saturday because my neighbor is saying my dog is vicious and attacked them AND their dog. Which is completely untrue per my roommate. Plus my dog is the sweetest dog to people... just not other dogs.

I can't handle my life right now.

[sweetchix]

Working. But I'm outta here in 15 minutes. Picking the girls up from school and heading out to the amusement park to register our season passes and get our free souvenir cups for the season. I'm debating on whether or not we'll stay for a ride or 2. I'm still not feeling well and I've got another headache coming on. Plus, my brother and sister came in last night and since I only briefly saw them after picking them up from the airport, I'd like to spend time with them tonight.

Working.

I need a new pair of jeans, so I might go shopping after work. Considering sitting on the beach tomorrow morning with a breakfast beer and reading, but we'll see. I also need to work and do about 3 weeks of laundry.

Basically, my life is quiet and boring and I like it.

[bg]

This morning I had to drive almost two hours total just to drop off some forms. Now working, then yoga, then more work, then running, then more work.

[1confused1]

I spent yesterday at the court house because xh filed paperwork for a modification in custody/visitation. He didn't serve me in a timely manner (it needs to be 21 days before our hearing date, it is not), but, of course, rules don't apply to him and the court doesn't seem to care. It took all my willpower not to cry.

I ended up filing my response and a request for a continuance, I should know today or Monday if it is granted.

Then I went to a restaurant, drank wine and wrote out all of my reasons why his request for the modification should not be granted. It was very therapeutic.

The gloves are off, I will fight tooth and nail to keep the current schedule in place and his lifestyle choices are going to be revealed, sorry XH, you are a shitty person and an even shitty "father".

[alleinesein]

At the movies. I'm dog sitting on the coast and today is the housecleaning day so I wanted to get out of the way

[glitzyglow]

1confused1, ugh I hate your ex!

My boss brought me food for lunch, which was kind. And then he told me my raise wasn't as big as he'd hoped due to cuts.

Thanks, me too.

Sorry about your raise.

Count me in the "working'" camp. I have had a totally crazy two weeks where I was basically working around the clock. A lot of that was in the evenings waiting for responses, but it's still stressful knowing you get just log off for the night. I'm typing up some emails from bed, then I'm gonna finally get dressed and get an iced tea. Then clean up my house.

Later tonight I might have a date. The guy I've been seeing just got a new virtual reality system and we're going play around with that. I'm SUPER excited about the VR stuff, specifically the roller coasters. I mean I'm excited to see him too... hahaha. But we both end up exhausted a lot on Fridays and move dates to Saturday. So we'll see.

keep me posted ... God forbid I'm put in your spot. Hugs

pinkdutchtulips, I will. His "declaration" is ridiculous and very clearly written by his father. They are all vile people.

I'm sorry he is being difficult? what is he asking? 

I hope you get the continuance. I see a lot of crappy people getting continuances just because and when I requested one, I was denied and of course I couldn't even go to the hearing.

Are you sure this VR isnt code for something else? haha.

Thanks.  He wants more time with the kids, wants more overnights, wants the supervised visitation removed, blah blah blah.  This person is not a father, he is a playmate for the kids and it would be detrimental to them to have these changes made.

He is a giant loser, hasn't worked in 4 years (by choice), is on welfare, does not and has never paid child support (but somehow can by $100 shoes for my son), he is the definition of narcissistic and has made some very questionable life choices that will have an impact on his health for the rest of his life.

If I had a choice, they would never see him.

I am working as well. A big storm struck our AC units at work yesterday, so today was super hot. I left and got popsicles for my team and now the AC is back on and it's getting slightly tolerable.

I leave tomorrow for 8 days back in my hometown to see my bestie and I can't wait, but I haven't done laundry or started packing.

Hahahah. I'm sure there will be some "VR" code as well.

Also, I miss my BF. I haven't seen him since last Thursday. He's in DC with his step-father right now, and doesn't get home until Sunday. I won't see him until Tuesday. I know I only have to wait a few more days, but man I really do miss him a lot right now.

[glitzyglow]

@pdx18 , that sounds like a fun night!

Does anyone else watch Girls? I looked up the guy who plays Elijah. He was in Book of Mormon and nominated for a Tony, which I wasn't aware of, but more shockingly to me was that he is 37! I always thought he was in his 20s!

I love Andrew Rannells.

[pinkdutchtulips]

I'm at work until 3 ... don't be jealous, it's my follow up appt to last Friday's tooth extraction :/

BF's working in Germany through early June. Part of me is amazed that we've been able to touch base daily in spite of a 9 hr time difference

[doglove]

I'm sorry 1confused1, how extremely frustrating for you.

I am so exhausted by dating, I thought I found a good guy on eharmony - I think he's still fine, but I don't know. We had two dates last weekend, one being an all day date on Sunday (which was my birthday) where we took a mini-trip to the middle of the state. Communication has been weird/strained ever since. He has a busy job and a long commute, so I know he's tired at the end of the day, like me, but he has always made an effort to send good night/good morning texts and check in a few times throughout the day. This week he has been doing really none of that and I don't understand why or what's changed. I'm supposed to see him tomorrow (I suggested cooking dinner and watching a movie at my place), but he's been a little weird about the suggested plan.

[glitzyglow]

doglove, sorry he's being so odd. It is frustrating. I think most people just don't know how to communicate or have a such a fear of hurting someone's feelings that they just act oddly or ghost. It's not fair or mature, and so exhausting when you feel like you have to decipher it since they aren't upfront. Dating is hard.

[doglove]

It is hard glitzyglow, I guess it is just so weird and confusing because he seems/seemed very communicative up front and through the first few weeks of our dating time. Just not sure if he has had a weird week or if things are weird - I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Hey there.  I'm so glad it's friday.  I'm feeling tired and the gray, gloomy rain isn't helping.  I'm going to get my hair done tomorrow--it's always a bit nerve wracking to try a new place/stylist.  Other than that, I have no plans for the weekend.
