Tuesday

[doglove]

How are y'all today? 

I can't believe Christmas is so close, I have zero enthusiasm for it. I was going to make everyone cookies since I can't afford presents, but I don't even want to do that. Blah! I have a bunch of stuff for A in my amazon shopping cart that I'll submit on Friday when I get paid, but otherwise most of my paycheck and longevity check is going to pay him back for everything that happened with Buddy. He's even said doesn't care how long it takes me, but I hated that I was only 3-4 weeks away from being able to afford all those vet expenses. 

I'm so emotionally spent and our Christmas journey will be a long one - PA to MA to NJ to PA and back home, but at least we'll get to see mags! And we're going to get our pictures professionally made with my same friend of a friend while we're in MA. I'm sad that Buddy didn't make it to be in them.

Love you, doglove. <3

I'm glad you'll get to see mags!

[kaneen]

I'm here. You know I'm thinking about you all the time doglove. And sending

Today isn't too bad. I had originally planned to spend the day working from home and with Luke but my boss decided to make a trip to Atlanta to take us all out to dinner as a holiday celebration. So I'm in the office. Which honestly isn't all that bad. Somehow getting up and dressed and out the door actually makes me feel a little better.

I have a second date with first class seat guy tomorrow night. We are meeting for a drink at this cute little downtown area. I'm looking forward to it.

Coming to work has been helping me this week too I notice.

So many hugs doglove and kaneen. I'm glad work has been helpful for both of you.


I was in a meeting this morning where three people were coughing and otherwise clearly miserable and sick. I'm hoping I can continue to resist the germs even though I'm surrounded by sick people.

There's so much to do tonight. I need to buy snacks for tomorrow's parent support group, buy the white elephant present for my work party tomorrow, make baked ziti also for tomorrow, and somewhere in there remember to feed and take care of myself. I also want to buy the last thing for my dad's Christmas presents and get everything wrapped so that I can ship it tomorrow or Thursday, if possible.

[doglove]

Keep up on your vitamin C tiramisu!

[cuddlyevil]

Add zinc to the mux tiramisu!!!

I haven't done any shopping for Christmas yet, that's on the bill for this weekend. Right now, I am just looking forward to Friday and the rare beer release party I'm going to.

[udscoobychick]

Yes, zinc and vitamin C (and lots of water), tiramisu!
I'm glad you'll get to see mags, doglove!
kaneen, glad work is helping as a distraction.

I am done with Christmas shopping, but I still need to do some baking...I'm making cutout cookies for a party at my studio on Friday night. DH and I have TWO date nights this week, though, so I'm excited--we're going out to dinner on Thursday night, and we're seeing Star Wars on Saturday night.

I made a potato, roasted red pepper, salami, and manchego fritatta for a potluck brunch that we had at work, and I was hoping to take leftovers for breakfast the rest of this week, but I don't think there is enough left! I'm glad people liked it, though.

[tiramisu]

Phew, I take a Cal-Mag-Zinc supplement every morning! My co-workers who religiously use sanitizer and take tons of vitamin C are doing worse than I am. I just wash my hands frequently and try not to touch my face. Even that sucks in this weather, I'm so dry.

[doglove]

My old neighbor who confessed his love for me a few weeks back apparently came by my work today (??) and left a note on my car that I found at lunch saying, please I need to talk to you - can you meet me at the apartment parking lot at X time or Y time tonight.

WTF? No. OMG how do people not understand these kinds of actions are not okay.

Noooooo!  Wtf?!  How does he know where you work.  Obviously you're not going, so hopefully he'll take the hint and knock off the crazy and this will be the last you hear from him!

Well we were neighbors for almost 2 years, everyone in my building knew I worked for the town, which is literally right down the street from the apartment complex. The whole thing is very bizarre. I am hoping he doesn't show up at our taco tuesday night - A will be there with me though. I hate having to feel worried that I run from work most nights now because this creep came to leave a note on my car windshield.

WTF.  Can you let someone (A or a trusted CW) know when you leave and when you get home for the next few days?  That's so creepy.

[spindle92]

ummmm doglove, that is creepy as fuck.

and hugs to both you and kaneen. When I lost my Buddy earlier this year, at first I wondered how I was going to make it thru the day at work without bawling my eyes out but it turned out to be a great distraction for those 8 hours. Hang in there ladies, it will get better, I promise.

[spindle92]

and doglove, please give mags a big hug from me.
I miss her!

[cuddlyevil]

doglove, do you have security at work? Can you mention it to them? This guy is really creepy.

[doglove]

We don't have security for work because it's basically local government, but I do work next to the police station so there's that. He does not know where I live and based on his note and the times he "arrives home" and how I used to arrive home right before him, it appears that I should be able to get out of the parking lot right when work ends to avoid him.

He didn't come by the taco tuesday restaurant last night and I saw no trace of him after work so hopefully he'll just leave me alone. The whole thing is very unnerving!

[doglove]

Thanks spindle92, I will definitely give her a hug from you. And big hugs to kaneen. ((((((((((((( kaneen )))))))))))

[udscoobychick]

I'm glad he didn't show up last night, doglove.
