Friday Randoms

[Bernadine]

I had to turn the heat on- it was 65 degrees inside this morning. This weather is making me crazy.

[wambam]

I am bursting with excitement for Julien Baker tomorrow night. I realize I talk about her non-fucking-stop (BOTAJB), but I love her with the fire of a thousand suns. And my H is not matching my excitement. He's all "yeah, it'll be fun." And I'm like NO. IT WILL BE AMAZING.

[pandora89]

We close on our new house on Monday and we are not packed. Heading to the lawyers this evening to sign the final paperwork. Have to pick up my parents from the airport at 5 am tomorrow, argh.

I guess this weekend will consist of packing. I have literally done nothing at home the past 3 weeks. I get home from work and am just so exhausted, I sit on the couch for a bit then shortly pass out.

She is SO CUTE

I am so in love. Like, my H should be worried lol.

I started the week with only two meetings planned for today. I have six now. Done with the first one, though.

There should be a rule about scheduling meetings after noon on a Friday. Just stop, people. When, exactly would you like me to do any of the shit you assign to me during these meetings?

BUT...I'm off ALL NEXT WEEK. We're not going anywhere bc we couldn't get our shit together to plan something, but H is taking off and we're sending the kids to daycare so we can build some storage shelves in the basement and start cleaning/purging. We'll do some day-dates during the week, too. But, yay no work!!

[TR]

I'm so glad it's Friday!! Mostly because we always go to our local burger place on Fridays and I'm really excited for a burger and fries, lol.

We're also going to go to the jeweler this weekend to pick out wedding bands so that's fun, too. And maybe watch the original Star Wars trilogy that I DVRd last week bc I've never seen them.

[Leeham Rimes]

I keep going too fast in my new car. It’s not even fancy but it’s not a rattling death trap like my van and I’m having some adjustment issues. Ha.

[W.T.Faulkner]

We're going to a wedding tomorrow for one of my best friends! (He's also my ex-boyfriend and HS prom date, but no goat farms for me, y'all. lol) I'm excited! I already know our table is awesome -- it's my sister and soon-to-be BIL, and then a few more of my really close friends. We never get to see each other and this is gonna be so much fun.

It's also the first wedding I haven't attended alone in almost a year...H can almost never come to weddings because of work, but he requested off for this one, so I'm excited to hang with him as well. I also love my dress. SO MUCH EXCITEMENT. lol

[BaliHai]

TGIF! H is going out with FIL tonight, so I think L and I are going to make a Target run, after M goes to sleep, so she can pick out her Halloween costume.

My Dad is doing well; he was moved into a skilled nursing facility and said PT is tough, but he was still in good spirits and I think we're going to take the girls over to visit him soon.

I have had three different people this week ask me "has your hair always been this long?" Literally, same exact question. I think it's because I dyed it, so it looks different, but it's weird and funny.

I had therapy last night, and it was tough. I am having a really hard month, mentally, and sort of feel like I'm drowning. I seem to be struggling with depression at the moment, which is throwing me for a loop because it's not really what I'm used to; my baseline state of being is anxious, so I know how to cope with that. I'm just a mess, is what I'm getting at. lol.

[jreeds]

I have a work event tonight that I was the coordinator for as part of my new job/promotion I got last winter. I am so freaking nervous. This needs to go smoothly!

[jreeds]

(( BaliHai))

[BaliHai]

Good luck jreeds! I hope everything goes off without a hitch.

Going to see Foo Fighters tomorrow! Yay!

MRI on Monday. BOO! (Do I need to remove my wedding rings?)

Yes, you can't wear anything with metal - includes any necklace/earrings etc.

DH and I are refinancing to get out of our FHA loan - our appraisal came back higher than we were expecting!!

First tri exhaustion is rough. Good luck with the packing!

I'm struggling HARD with my youngest SIL's pregnancy.

We've battled infertility for 6 years, and I feel like I'm nearing the end of my chance to do something about it at 32. I've done the workup and even meds and an IUI, but too much at one time sends my anxiety into overdrive. I hate not being able to control it.

Anyway... I thought I was going to be ok with SIL's new bundle, until we got an invite to a gender reveal party in the mail. I DO.NOT.WANT.TO.GO. There's no way I'm going to be able to fake excitement over whether the baby is a boy or girl. I broke down into an ugly cry about it last night. H is (understandably) excited and happy for his sister. The party is a couple weekends away, and we'll have to travel 4hrs one way to get to it. There's still time to decide about going.

I’m annoyed with my hairdresser. She rushed through the color last night and kept complaining that it was taking so long. My appointments always take a good 2 hours since my hair is so thick. She said she didn’t have time to cut it even though I scheduled a color and cut. It’s not like she had an appointment after me.

I’ve been seeing her for years, but that rubbed me the wrong way.

[justemily]

SO is kid-free tomorrow night (doesn't happen often on the weekends!), so I'm excited for that - too bad the damn bronchitis/sinus shit I've been dealing with for 3 weeks decided to sneak back up on me after I finished my antibiotics last week. So I'm back to coughing and back on the Augmentin. Sigh.

jamie.1022, - jealous! Have fun!

BaliHai, - I'm sorry... I hope things start looking up soon!

wambam, - I'd never heard of her til now *ducks* - but I really like what I'm listening to! So, thanks! And have fun!

[bluelikejazz]

Gross Story That I need to get out:

Last night DH asked if I could pop a zit on his back. Ok, NBD. OMG so much puss. It just kept coming. I spent probably 5 minutes squeezing and puss just kept coming out. I should have video taped it, it would have gone viral.

[specialk]

Sorry, BaliHai. Hope you are feeling better soon.

Good luck, jreeds!

I'm fighting with my boss because he decided today he wants one of my employees to cancel his trip next week in case a last minute work request comes through. I know it's a work related trip, but it was approved months ago, would be very expensive to cancel, and would definitely be morale crushing. He has a plan set up to handle any last minute requests while he's gone, and I don't see why he should have to cancel it because of someone else's poor planning. I'm going to keep pushing back on this one until I win, but it's an annoying way to spend a Friday.

[specialk]

picaflora, Don't go. There's no reason to put yourself through that and plenty of reasonable excuses you can come up with as to why you can't attend a party 4 hours away. There will be plenty of time to celebrate the baby when he or she is here.

You are SO welcome haha. If you need to talk after you've laid on the floor and cried through "Appointments" or "Funeral Pyre" let me know

[pandora89]

((picaflora)) - Sending lots of hugs. I would not go, especially for a gender reveal that required an 8 hour round trip drive.

H and I are working on getting this product we (well mainly he) created out to Amazon. Both of us are working frantically (me before and after my Job That Pays The Bills) and I can't stop dreaming about this damn thing. GOOD GOD I AM THINKING ABOUT IT DURING ALL MY WAKING HOURS, GIVE ME A BREAK SUBCONSCIOUS.

I've been doing so well eating fairly healthy the past few days but it's my birthday today so that is out the window as my MIL just gave me my gift. . . what we've called the better than sex chocolate cake.

And underwire bras! I was nursing when I had one so I wanted to keep my bra on...NOPE! jamie.1022,

I am doing better today. Still a little sad overall but I have plans for tonight and tomorrow so it's going to be fun. I just need to survive work.

[pandorica]

I'm so happy it's Friday, but today kind of sucks. Our furnace went out, so we have to get serious about replacing it before the real cold weather arrives. And the freaking furnace people refuse to come give us estimates!

Also, I think my puppy is sick. She's been extra tired and not eating much and so I just want to go home and cuddle her. Any time this happens I have to talk myself off the ledge by reminding myself that dogs can get little colds and sicknesses and it doesn't mean she's dying. I have serious anxiety about it though!

[pegasuskat]

Today is my DD 25th birthday, I'm all in my feelings about it. I can't believe this is my baby, and she lives in Atlanta now, so for the first time I won't see her on her bday): She will be home next weekend and we will celebrate both of our bdays together, but its not the same and I feel so old with all 3 kids grown up.

Friend and I are having a huge yard sale tomorrow for the Children's Dept. at church, we made almost $2000 last year,hoping to repeat this year, but its been so much work all week getting ready. My stupid arthritis makes it hard to do things I've always done, and I'm not ready to accept I can't do whatever I want to.
