Tuesday Randoms

[jigsy]

Tomorrow I am potentially going to be putting on my brave pants. LOL. There is an event in the city that I am going to and a friend might go with me, but maybe not so I might be there alone. It is a screening of a new show based on a comic book, so I figure, if all else fails, maybe I can meet a fellow nerd there. I imagine The men vs women ratio will be in my favor. 

There is an intermittent hissing sound by my desk. It is slowly driving me crazy...maybe I am slowly being poisoned. 

I'm tired because I stayed up late finishing Season one for Unreal. I just wanted to know how it ended! But now I want to sleep!

And finally, the worst part about living alone is cooking stuff. I thought I would be ok with making a crockpot of chicken and dumplings...but I have eaten it 4 times this weekend, and I have at least 3 more servings...and I am tired of it. However, I think if I break down the cost, even if I throw the rest away, I have done ok.

Could you freeze the rest of it? I portion out some for lunches and then freeze the rest (in smaller portions)

I struggle with cooking for myself too jigsy,

I'm going back to the doctor to have my throat looked at again, I don't think my strep throat is gone.

I go to court on Thursday for the modification in visitation that the XH filed. This should be interesting.

I'm coming back from a long weekend visiting a friend. We had such a good time and I just got assigned a first class seat on my flight back. Yay! Hoping this positivity continues when I get back home.

Ohhh what event? That sounds fun. DO IT.

Cinespia screening of Outcast. I didn't invite you because it is the middle of the week, in the city, and comic books aren't exactly your thing. LOL. I only decided to go since I get off work early due to the holiday...so it seems like fate, or something.

I haaaaaaaaate the cooking too jigsy. Hate it.

Part of me is starting to consider a move again, just so burnt out of my job and location. I took a mini-staycation this past weekend that helped a little bit, but overall in life I'm just feeling kind of down and discouraged.

We are about 6 1/2 hours into our 10-11 drive home. Right now we're somewhere in WV. I couldn't sleep much last night and when I finally did fall asleep a bad dream woke me up and kept me up for a while. And then my sister's alarm woke me up at 5:15. We should be home around 7:30 and I'll probably be in bed by 9.

jigsy, have you heard of Freshly, www.freshly.com/ ? I used them for a while, the food is good and perfect for one person.

I am considering quitting my job. And I applied for a 6mo job working in some random state working on the Hillary campaign. I hear you.

Yeah, definitely feeling like just saying fu@k this $hit and starting fresh. Between issues with work, dog rescue, friends and dating - gah.

This is what I've been doing - I've been trying to convince her. lol.

Oh!  LOL!

GL with the job mp. I don't think I could even remotely afford to live in LA. COL keeps me in NC.

I hate cooking for one, too. It's so tough balancing getting a variety of food v. not wasting food.

One of my exH's friend's has been FB messaging me. It's kinda flirty. I don't get it. Isn't there guy code against flirting with your friend's ex-wife? Probably flameful, but I haven't ignored him because he's hot and nothing will ever happen.

I agree that cooking for 1 really does suck...I used to eat out way too much because I didn't want to cook for just 1 person. That in and of itself was not healthy or financially beneficial!

I'm glad it's Tuesday and we kinda skipped Monday. I am still doing some research to find a new counselor. I wish more people were open about seeing someone so that I could have people to talk to, get reviews about. Going in blind isn't fun. I know we all do it, though.

The weekend was pretty good. A nice mix of family time, down time, and outdoor time. I loved the weather, though being at a pool or beach would've been even better! We're working on planning a trip to a beach in the next couple months. I'm really hoping that all gets put together smoothly.

I found the source of the hissing thing. It was a toy at my co-workers desk. Was.




But not really. She just turned it off.

Move here! COL isn't high, and we have all kinds of fun stuff in my town!

The nerds in LA are so damn fine.

I'm still filled with regret.

On a startup jobs website Tinder and I "matched" and the irony that Tinder and I matched cracks me up (we both had to say yes). I doubt anything will come of it, but hey - kinda fun and would be a weird place to work.

They need you. Tinder has gone to shit.
