DD and the other kid that we're sharing a nanny with for the summer have gotten paint on both my DR wall (which needs to be painted anyway), and now on a relatively new futon cover (attempts to get the paint out have been only marginally successful). They're cut off from paint now, and I'm reminded of how twitchy the year we had a nanny for DD and DS made me. I'm too uptight to have other people in my space without me there. Even when it's nothing actually wrong, I still really prefer to come home to everything how I left it.
I've been using Walgreens forever, but they started to suck so bad. They would never answer their phone, and I ended up being without one of my meds for a week. It's a long story.
My doctor is PISSED and I'm struggling because this one has bad withdrawal symptoms and side effects. I finally gave up and told my boss because it was very obvious I wasn't okay. I kept snapping at my coworkers and that's so embarrassing and inappropriate.
He was so wonderful. He made sure to tell me taking time for this was just as important as taking time for the flu.
I'm going to try to go back to work tomorrow, and my doctor is going to call me in an extra half dose of my med to help me ride through this.
When I left work around noon yesterday, I immediately went to CVS to have everything transferred. They were incredible and everything was moved over by 5 PM.

Last week, my boss tapped me to replace him as he made a lateral move to another leadership position within our school.
Yesterday, he brought around a new guy and introduced him to everyone BUT me. After I left, he emailed me to tell me that this guy will likely be hired to take that leadership position my boss was supposed to take. So, my boss stays where he is, they bring the new guy on, and I'm stuck where I am, which is with the responsibilities of an administrator and without the title. He then asked me to interview the new guy. I declined "respectfully" and am being a verified ice princess today.
This morning has been so awkward, but I'm beyond done with the straight white bros that run my school in the least emotionally intelligent way possible. I applied for two other positions last night and am waiting to hear back about a final interview with a third.

This is the exact issue I had this summer when we hired a nanny for after DS's summer school. It literally stressed me out all day long every day. He's back in camp now and I'm so much more relaxed coming home.
candreco try some blue dawn with some peroxide. Let is sit overnight, then wash. I just got out a ton of mystery blue spots that ended up on jacket I just got at consignment. Blue dawn by itself only faded it, but a friend said to add peroxide and that worked.
It's my FRIDAY! We're headed to the beach tonight for the weekend. I hope the weather isn't too bad, they're calling for some rain. I hope it's not a total washout.
Today is my Friday as well! Headed up north this weekend, supposed to rain and be chilly but oh well. I'll be bummed if it's too cold to swim because Morgan loves swimming and has talked about nothing else.
I need to do something to boost my motivation at work, it's getting a little bad. I need to figure out a fun project to work on or something!

We are going to TPAC to see Little Mermaid on Broadway! Allie is super excited to have night with just us. My brother is keeping Myles for the night.
Allie is finally feeling better after her nasty infection. The doctor confirmed my fears that lake swimming is not always safe. We will continue to use a pool after this.

I'm WFH today, so I just went downstairs to start it soaking in dish soap/peroxide. It looks promising, thanks! I got most of the paint itself off last night with nail polish remover, so I'm hoping this lifts the stains enough that they're not too noticeable. It's a futon in the craft room that we only use as a guest room occasionally, so I don't need it to be perfect.

I feel like this will never happen until my kid moves out LOL

I got home from archery last night and my dog had shredded a sofa pillow. Stuffing everywhere! I seriously had just been bragging about how great she's doing, she's 20 months and really growing up. She got put in her kennel while I opened a bottle of wine and cleaned up. She's back to being kenneled while I'm gone, apparently she's not ready for as much freedom as I'd thought.
The day after my birthday I always feel my new age . I think I had something to do with the celebration drinks on my birthday.
My living room is a disaster, it has been for two weeks. The rest of the house is spotless. I don't know why I can't tackle that room and get in order.

My sister is in town. I am not looking forward to it at all. We don't like each other and absolutely don't get along. Not even for one day. This also means I have to spend time with my dad and I want to do that even less. I'm tired of his idiot drunk ass ruining everything.
I'm in a bad mood just thinking about my family. Argh.

This is celebrity related, but every time I read about Brandy Glanville going off about her ex to the press, I just feel embarrassed for her and sorry for her boys. And she says she over him cheating on her, but her actions say otherwise. This just plays into my feelings on people putting down their ex, especially when children are involved, in public rather than a private bitch sessions with friends.
My Mom went for an echocardiogram and nuclear stress test last Friday because for the last FIVE (don't even get me started) weeks she'd been having some tingling and pain in her arms and chest. They called her with the results on Monday, and they think she has an area of ischemia on the upper right side of her heart. She goes for a cardiac catheterization on Friday, and if they are correct, they will have to place a stent. I know both procedures are fairly common, but I'm a nervous wreck anyway because she is not in great health to begin with (I could strangle her and my Dad for how blasé they are about their health, I swear to Jesus), AND she's nervous, which she usually isn't about health-related things because she's a nurse and her clinical side always wins. Gah. The worst part is that, just like with my Dad and the crap he's going through as a result of failing to care for himself, this will not change anything. She won't change a single damn thing to improve her health after this, it'll just be another band aid over a bullet hole. Infuriating.

ginger, good luck with CVS. I have long preferred them over Walgreen's. I hope you're feeling better soon.
W.T.Faulkner, wtf? FX for you for finding something better.
cleo29, so agree with the bolded. It makes the complainer look like a whiny self-sbsorbed dumb ass.
CW is back today so I need to catch up on my own work. I just finished a tour of our company with a Brownie troop. They were so cute!
((BaliHai )) I am sorry, that is stressful. ((ginger ))
In the case of I only talk about one thing, lining appointment for FET went well this morning, waiting to hear back about blood work but everything seems to be progressing well.
We dropped off the SUV at the dealership as one of the tires keeps going flat. Turns out there is a nail that has gone sideways into the tire, all the way through, and it needs to be replaced. Thankfully, we got the warranty on them so we only have to pay $19 for the nuts and bolts but the labour and tire itself are covered. We are bleeding money right now so this was helpful.
The apartment I was moving out of was broken into over the weekend. Garbage strewn all over, mattress and couch flipped, beer bottles everywhere. I'm in between fuck it all, burn the place down or dropping money I don't have to get a company to clean it up. I have until Aug 15th to be out fully and most of my stuff is going in the trash.
This is the one week my boyfriend is working both jobs, double shifts for 6 of 7 days out of the week. I'm 6 weeks out of surgery and probably shouldn't be doing all this on my own.
I texted my H at the halfway point of my run last night "I would do ANYTHING for an Omission beer tonight." I got home and they were in the fridge. Because I married an actual saint.
This is such a FWP, but I am so spoiled by Netflix just continuing to play episodes. I've been watching Seinfeld lately and having to get up to change the DVD is just too much lol.

This might be super creepy but if you lived in LA I would give you a job in a second. So...wanna move? 😜 In all seriousness, that sucks. I hope you find what you're looking for.
If the weather keeps behaving, DH and I might go to the Ohio State Fair tonight! We've gone together almost every year since we met. And then this weekend...Dublin Irish Festival! If you're in the Columbus, OH area and planning to go to the festival, I'll be dancing with Columbus Celtic Dancers on Saturday and Sunday! I'm interested to find out just how much of a train wreck our finale will be in performance... *sigh*

Is this your own apartment you were living in or the one you shared with your boyfriend and his roommate? Did you guys get your own place?
It was my own apartment I was moving out of. Him and I ended up getting our own place that we move into Aug 15th. I've been there going back and forth packing stuff up and throwing stuff away. Being that I needed to purge a lot and haven't been feeling well enough to do heavy lifting.

My hometown started back to school today. My FB is full of children all ages going back to school. I was fine with that until I hit a child of a classmate. She has a freshman in HS! I'm in my early 30's. my heart skipped a few beats. We cannot be getting this old.
We are officially under contract on our house in CO! It took 6 days and in that time we had three offers, two full-price.
This is the first time we've sold a house, and man, it's a weird roller coaster to deal with from the other side (while we are simultaneously buying in VA and close to closing on the new house). We have been super lucky, though, both with when we bought our first house and when we're selling and it has made things go quickly and well for us. Hopefully everything goes smoothly through both closings.
Next week at this time my DH will be driving our dogs cross-country and I will be doing a final cleaning of our empty CO house. Crazy!
