Tuesday Thoughts

[tiramisu]

Good morning! How's everyone doing today?

[tiramisu]

Last night I heard one of my cats doing something that sounded like playing with prey, even more than with a toy. He went running into the bathroom so I look to see what he has, even though I was already pretty sure, and yup, it was a cockroach. Cue me standing on the bed freaking out (bathroom is only accessible from my bedroom). Finally fell asleep hiding under the covers like people do with ghosts. Not before I put my slippers on the bed and got the can of Raid and a box, though.

Since I had no idea where it was, I tried to will myself to sleep so I wouldn't hear the cats maybe playing with it and hopefully killing it if they did. I didn't get to sleep until around 1am and my alarm went off at 5:30, so today might be a rough day. I think I did see remains, so that's good. But ugh to these damn things. One every so often and I lose my shit. On the up side, I'm much less freaked out by spiders now.

Another positive, since you guys read through that grossness: I picked up a bottle of Valpolicella Ripasso when I went wine shopping with my parents and I had a glass last night. It's delicious! So freaking good.

Oh man tiramisu - those are so nasty!

I am having a hard time focusing on work waiting to hear about Buddy's biopsy results. I'm trying to not let it consume me, but it's hard. It's so messed up that it's either nothing and done and removed or that I'm faced with 3-12 weeks left with him. The vet said it could be 5-10 days before we hear anything because of the holiday last week. I just really hope those growths were benign. He's basically back to himself and feeling good and his incision looks great. He'll get his staples out on Friday and hopefully be able to resume normal walks again. He is definitely restless now that he's feeling better to exercise.

tiramisu, ewwww! I'd be grossed out, too!

doglove, hugs lady. I'm still sending Buddy good thoughts!!

I started working from home some days that I have meetings with other clients. Today I'm actually in the office and I'm a little cranky that I actually had to dress nice, lol. Although, I can't complain much as I figured out that I will not be in the office or working a full week the entire month of December. YASSSS!

I have meetings in Florida tomorrow and was going to just make a day trip out of it but my bff texted asking if I was in Florida at all this week. Turns out she's there too and has a free evening tonight. So, I'm flying up this afternoon so we can have dinner together tonight. Yipee!

Other than that I kinda have nothing much going on. I was thinking I might get out my Christmas decorations last night but it got dark so early that I scrapped the idea. I'll do it this weekend at the latest.

Starting the actual recruiting process at work, which means lots of phone screens. On one hand, it is a pleasure to converse with people who like what they do and are intelligent. It's the snob in me, I know. On the other hand, phones! Noooooo. My phone phobia is being stomped down in a corner as much as possible so I can be clear with candidates.

December is going to be so fun. Lots of family and friend activities and also a big Christmas break- I think I have 6 days off.

Always thinking about you and buddy, doglove. I'm sorry that this is such a shitty waiting game.

tiramisu, tell me about that wine! And Ew bugs.

Thinking good thoughts for Buddy, doglove!

Not much new here...I'm expecting a late night tonight finishing up some stuff, since a deadline got pushed up at work (booo). Oh well. At least DH and I carpool on Wednesdays, so if I'm exhausted and sleep-deprived tomorrow, I won't have to drive.

[udscoobychick]

tiramisu, if you want a special occasion treat, try a glass of Valpolicella Amarone sometime...I like it even better than Ripasso! My parents made a batch from one of those kit things, and I'm hoping to get a bottle or two.

I sent an email to XH, this morning, because the trip we're taking over Christmas will prevent him from having DS on his usual Thursday night. I was anticipating a lot of sass and some bad mouthing nonsense but got a "that's cool, I'd love to have him an extra night the week before to make up. Oh, and do you want him earlier on Christmas Eve?" Holy shit...what is that?!?! Is it bad that I automatically assume there's a girlfriend?

How in the flock is it almost December? This year has flown by! Just ordered Christmas cards and have hardly any things to buy since we're forgoing all of that this year.

[cuddlyevil]

My friend's put out his annual Christmas mixer and I am soooooo excited for it. They're usually super long and all sorts of awesome.

I hope buddy's okay doglove

Ew bugs tiramisu

[chalupa]

I'd freak out tiramisu. Ugh

Hugs doglove. I hope you hear back soon.

I have exactly 30 minutes free in my work calendar for the rest of the week - it's that crazy. On the plus side, I only have 10 more working days until I'm off for 2+ weeks, so yay for that. I started running through my open projects with the colleague who will be my backup while I'm out, and I detected more than a trace of fear in his eyes at my workload. Bwahahaha. It's nice to have someone to share my pain, even if it's just short term.

I hope Buddy is ok Doglove.

I returned home from a fun trip. London and Paris were amazing. I walked up 700 steps to view the second platform of the Eiffel Tower. I bought a few things, touristed around like mad, but brought home a cold and I’m struggling. Im about to go to sleep at 830 two nights in a row.

[bullygirl979]

neonpink, so jealous! I loved Paris. Glad you had fun!
