How are y'all today? 

[bullygirl979]

I have zero complaints today. I posted this on FB, but I officially was discharged from seeing my radiation oncologist today. 6 months to go then I'm officially in remission!

[kaneen]

Yay bullygirl979!

I really cannot complain. I have a ton of balls in the air work-wise but I'll figure it out.

It's really beautiful outside today so I'm determined to get outside for at least a little while.

yay bullygirl979! That's great news.

I'm feeling SO much better today. One of my girlfriends insisted on coming over, making me dinner, and helping me clean the house. It was awesome. It feel so good to have clean house, fresh sheets on my bed, and all my clothes laundered. After talking with you ladies and friends and family yesterday, I really do think C was kinda abusive. I didn't realize that a lot of what he was doing, asking me to change my behavior, getting mad, then letting me feel shitty and apologize and then him "taking me back" wasn't that normal. I really was walking on eggshells most of the time and I also thought that wasn't that bad either. My friends have literally said if I go back to him that they will not speak to me. Sooooo that was all kind of a wake up call. Today I'm still really sad and mourning the relationship but I've realized it's for the best and that moving will be good for me.

Also, this is kind of hilarious and awesome, but my dad gets all of these awesome promos for free rooms and stuff at a pretty nice hotel in Reno and I went with him once and he signed me up. So I had two nights of free rooms, and my dad is paying for another night then flights for me and one of my girlfriends to go for a long weekend. It's so random but it's so fun and will be something to look forward to. We leave in November. The food there is actually spectacular and the spa is pretty nice. So we'll go eat, drink, spa, and rejuvenate.

Yay, bullygirl979!
That will be a nice getaway, @pdx18! I'm glad you're starting to feel better.

I'm still sick...just went to the doctor and got "eh, you look healthy enough, so wait a couple days, and if it's still bad, drop off a stool sample. In the meantime, Immodium and fluids." I'm mildly annoyed to have to wait another couple days to get any answers, but, on the other hand, I guess it's good that they're not super worried.

Yay bullygirl979 !!!! That is the best news!

DD has been sick with the stomach flu, but is finally doing better! I'm happy to be back in civilization and not watching crappy cartoons all day.

[cuddlyevil]

Yay bullygirl979!!!

@pdx18, I am glad you're doing a bit better.

I am good today. It's beautiful here today.

I just answered in yesterday's thread, but I'm really glad to read this.

[bullygirl979]

udscoobychick, bummer you still don't feel well, but I'm also glad the doctor isn't super concerned.

@pdx18, I'm glad you are feeling a bit better, and I hope that you have a wonderful weekend away.

[tiramisu]

I'm okay. All kinds of feelings for a variety of reasons.

Annoyed because I feel like one of my friends was arguing that fear of boredom isn't enough to not pursue something with a guy, annoyance that even when I met someone nice he also has commitment issues, sadness about what happened in Las Vegas and the impact it's had on people close to me as well as a profound sadness about the larger impact. Overall I guess melancholy would be a good word.

[doglove]

((((((( tiramisu )))))))) when you know something isn't right, trust how you feel.

Great news bullygirl979!

Hope you feel better soon udscoobychick.

tiramisu hugs I feel you! It just seems like everything is the suck lately. Personally and in the world. I just found out one of my friends was unjustly fired and I'm like shit! It seems like it's total shit for everyone lately.

That really sucks for your friend. And yes, things are sucky lately. I'm glad you're getting some space from your relationship and realizing the flags that can be easy to miss until you have that distance.

Thanks tiramisu I just wish everyone wasn't in such a bad spot these days. I need something good to start happening here!

[bullygirl979]

tiramisu, hugs lady. And you don't have to defend or explain your choices to anyone.

[bullygirl979]

I have to say, I love my boss. I just received my revised offer letter and I was a little uncomfortable with a word in it. I asked HR to take it out and she pushed back. My boss was also on the email and she didn't even wait for me to respond and told HR that I was right and it needed to be fixed. She really is an awesome woman to work for.

((tiramisu))

[idahome]

I’m struggling with finding my way right now both at work and personally. I feel like I’m missing the mark on so many things and I just don’t know how to fix it. This brought to you by the editing process of a new work policy. It doesn’t sound a thing like me and I’m really struggling with that...especially since my boss loves it and believes the sentiments expressed within it are the direction we are going.

I may take the night off and just read. That sounds like a good plan.

[gault]

A friend from California, and her bf, were among those killed at the concert in Vegas. They identified the bodies late last night to confirm. Still trying to process how I feel, but shock and anger come to mind. I can't believe it.

I got the final interview invite for the dream job!

[bullygirl979]

idahome, hugs. I night off to read sounds like a great way to decompress.

[bullygirl979]

gault, I can't imagine how her family must feel. So sad.

Also, yay for an interview! Spill! What makes it your "dream job"?

[Deleted]

gault how terrible! Big hugs.

bullygirl979 so glad to hear that this job sounds like the right fit!

It's in a great field, good pay and benefits, with a company who has been around for literally hundreds of years (originated in japan). They are expanding their US reach so I'd get to be a part of something pretty cool. And it's within manufacturing and research/bioscience, which is where I started in my career.

The only downside is the commute, it's a bit long.

[udscoobychick]

Oh no, gault. I'm so sorry for your loss. But yay for the interview!

[udscoobychick]

Not that anyone needs details lol, but I think I'm just going to drop the sample off for my doc today...as the day has progressed, I've felt worse than yesterday, so I'd rather not wait any longer. I'm not the type to go running to the doctor over every little thing, so I think it's at a point that needs to be dealt with.

Talk away! Doesn't bother me a bit. Stomach stuff is a pain.
