Friday

[minion]

Happy Friday everyone.

Hoping to get off work early today. Someone brought in donuts today, so that's a plus. Trying to talk H into go out to dinner to celebrate selling our house.

The work saga continues. Wednesday late afternoon, my boss put up an out of office saying essentially,I am too busy dealing with this one thing. All other things send to minion, email and phone number.
1. He never asked me what was on my plate. Nor did he notify me he was going to do this. I got his out of office when I got in at 6:45am.
2. By yesterday afternoon all he had done on the project was just all the names of our budgets and budgeted amounts on his spreadsheet. All this you just simply download from our system.
3. It was a total cluster for everything else I was trying to get done.
I don't get paid enough for this.

This weekend we are going to Bremerton so H can pick up fenders for his project car. We will probably make a day trip out of it. Any suggestions on food and stuff?

My sister has prom on Saturday and wants MiMi to come and take pics with her.

Sunday we have a birthday party picnic.

tacocat - How did the salary negotiation for your H go?

[tacocat]

minion - we don't know yet. I'm dying to find out!

We had to drop my husbands car off to be repaired this morning, crossing my fingers it's nothing expensive. We have been hemorrhaging money lately and would love a break.

A friend is staying over tonight to get a baby break and have some boy time with the husband. I'm hoping they stay out of my hair so I can study!

Happy National Doughnut Day!

Today is the first day I'll be able to actually do my job. It's been insane this week and I have so much to do. UGH.

My ILs were staying at my house last night because B/SIL are moving into their new house and they're here for the roofer, the carpet cleaners, and all of that jazz. Where are B/SIL? Oh, still in Bham. They are barely lifting a finger for this whole thing and my ILs are busting their butts and it's not fair. They are being SO LAZY. But DH and I talked to MIL last night (until 1am, ugh) about how they need to stop doing everything for them because they don't appreciate it and they're just enabling the lazy. It was a sort of CTJ, but it needed to happen.

Also? The guest room where ILs sleep shares a wall with our bathroom (the little pocket room with the toilet in it), and I totally got stage fright this morning when I had to pee. It was unnerving. I'm so glad they're going back to Bham tonight.

I am on the struggle jet this morning. Its faster than the bus and bigger

I have had the worst time going to be the last 2 nights. Last night I was up until 1 am before finally being tired enough to sleep, then of course right as I start thinking about it a car cruises by and rolls in the ditch just past our fence. So with my heart beating a million miles a minute I was outside checking things out over the fence to see if they were ok and if the police had been called. Kids were screaming and a girl was crying. They all walked away and a cop showed up about 10 minutes later. It took an hour for them to get it all moved out. I'm glad no one was hurt and my fence didn't get plowed into again. But I didn't go to bed until 2am and H's alarm went off at 4am. Send help. I really wanted to take the girls to go get a doughnut but I'm too tired

I was so damn tired yesterday it was all I could do to force myself to go pick up my Rx from the drive through at Walgreens. Then I went home, sat in the massage chair for one cycle and then because I was just so exhausted, i went and laid in bed for like TWO HOURS. I didn't sleep, only sorta mind wandered about stuff, but just laid there. I made myself eat a yogurt for dinner but I was so exhausted that I wasn't hungry. Then I had to make myself eat another 230 calories of stuff just to not be at bad under-calorie levels for the day. So weird. We watched Orphan Black and then I went to bed but couldn't sleep despite being so tired. I managed to sleep decently though.

Luckily, they brought in donuts across the street for Natl Donut Day so it's much easier to resist since that requires some actual effort. Busy weekend - H took today off. He and a friend got a hotel room in Tacoma for tonight. Pinball Convention weekend and they have 3 day passes. I have tabletop tonight and then am driving down tomorrow to attend just Saturday. We're going out to dinner and drinking with friends and staying at the hotel. Then I'm coming home Sunday and H will drive back with his friend at the end of the day.

However, i realized this morning we have no feeding Ivan plans!! GAH! The people we hire who live a block down are pinballers so they'll be there all weekend, too, I imagine and we aren't friendly enough with any other neighbors that I would feel comfortable having them come into your disaster messy house to feed the kitteh. Crap.

minion , I hope you go somewhere yummy tonight to celebrate being $$$$ (for the time being any way )  and I hope you can down a couple of these   to decompress after the terrible bind your boss put you in.

tacocat , GL with the car repairs, and I hope your H hears back in the affirmative on the salary offer!

picksthemusic , the CTJ talk is definitely a positive turn in that situation, I hope it sticks!

dana86 , That car accident sounds terrible to wake up to  I'm glad your fence survived!  I hope the sleep gods are kinder to you this weekend, and I'm sending you all the donut and coffee vibes today!

Happy Donut Day (I prefer to spell it that way )

This morning I had a half of a maple bar (which was left over from H's donut run yesterday) to "celebrate."  MIL's visit is still going okay, although she did take up some valuable bathroom time (we only have one bathroom) this morning, before she went back to bed and I had to get out the door.  I swear, the day we move somewhere with more than one bathroom will be one of the happiest days of my life (probably top five).

Hi. I'm feeling a bit bummed today about my work situation. I have a whole long story about it, but I won't bore you guys.

My sis and youngest nephew (8) are in town. I'm so excited to see them this weekend. We will be going to my parent's house two weekends in a row which sounds like torture, but my step-bro comes in with all three of his kids next Friday and I haven't seen them in probably five years.

I need to do something about my weight you guys. I am the biggest I have ever been. My thighs are starting to rub together when I walk. I have very wide hips, so my thighs have to be good size for this to happen. I just can't stop eating bad for me food. I'm starting to feel really bad about myself and it doesn't help to have my bro and sis coming into town and feeling like a giant cow.

My thighs have ALWAYS touched, even when I was at a "perfect" weight and best fitness of my life in college. But I hear ya, I just started dieting this week because I can't stand being at this weight anymore.

also, I am SO SO SO SO SO BORED AT WORK. I have had NOTHING to do since i got here today! Write a new thread and tell the whole story please!

[dana86]

madDawg228, i'm jealous of your maple bar. Those are my favorite We might go out tomorrow for some.

georgeharrison, is everything ok in the job front? Are you just unhappy in your current spot?

tacocat, good vibes on the job stuff for your H!

@lauralynne, I am so proud and excited for you and how your new career adventure is just taking off! Congrats!

@aellasbeth when do you start the new new job? Is it the same type of work as the first one?

[Deleted]

Yep. It is and i will get an orientation date later today.

Well great, I may have to scratch Saturday plans because I don't know what to do about getting Ivan dinner. I texted the only nearish to us friend to ask but she sucks at replying anymore. I originally was going to head down to Tacoma around 10am to attend the pinball convention. We have dinner & going out plans with Tacoma-resident friends and had rented a hotel room as H is attending the convention the next day as well and I didn't want to have to do late night driving. I'm SUUUPER annoyed that this whole weekend plan thing has been H's to plan and he's made the reservations and got the tickets but didn't put half of anything in our calendar, tell me he had today off, and didn't think about the cat at all and now it's fallen on me to figure it out last minute. I guess I'll just skip going to the convention so I can feed him dinner and then I"ll go down for the dinner part of the evening. I'm SUUUPER annoyed and frustarted and when H was all snappy at me via text when I told him i sent him an email (with various questions) and needed answers to things.

Welp. Car is toast The repairs are about twice the worth of the car. We will go look on Sunday but will probably wait as we have to head to germany for the funeral on Wednesday after my final next week. I know it will all work out but dang that is bad timing, lol.

Wine for me tonight!

And we just bought another new car...new to us. DH found a deal on a car that we will turn around and sell again. But Jeesh Louise - right now we have 6 cars parked outside our house (first world problems, right???). Crazy cakes.

See PP. Can I have one? Lol

[dana86]
