Thursday

[chalupa]

AKA MY FRIDAY!!!!!!!

No, I'm not excited about that at all  

I'm stuck in meetings all morning, but my afternoon is blocked off for our new dishwasher to be installed (yeah, that dishwasher we ordered something like 5 weeks ago - took forever to come in). Cross your fingers that it fits - our floor was tiled AROUND the cabinets, so hopefully the "lip" that it creates in front of the existing dishwasher isn't so tall that it causes problems getting the appliances in and out.  Also, the window of time they might show up is 1-5. WTF. I will be pissed if they roll in here at 5pm and want to start this project then.

Oh Thursday...the busiest day of the week! I'm on coffee #2 already and am rocking adorable hair, so you know it's going to be a kick ass kind of day! DS has been great the last two weeks so I ran out and got him some heart shaped donuts yesterday. I was teasing him about having a gf and he's all "middle school relationships are a joke, mom!" DD has a fancy date this weekend and was texting me last night telling me I didn't prepare her for fancy restaurants and "real" dates lol!

[doriswe]

cuddlyevil, I was thinking about you last night...how are you doing today?

[doglove]

Yay chalupa.

The sleep medicine my doctor gave me has me feeling weird and groggy this morning. I wish I could have stayed in bed longer. It didn't even help me sleep that well and my mouth is so dry. Yuck.

doriswe, I want a text of this adorable hair, mmkay? I thought DS was in HS already? HAHAHAHA about DD. Where was her "fancy date"?

I'll send! He's in 8th grade...a few more months before high school...let's not rush it! This momma is not ready for that!

He's taking her to an amazing steakhouse that is really pricey (well for this area) and she's freaking out about having appropriate table manners and trying to avoid swearing while there lol!

[bullygirl979]

chalupa, GL with the appliance fitting!

doglove, hopefully your doc can give you a better option!

I am tired, the weather is really rainy and grey so I feel like I could nap all day. Emotionally, I am still sad--the kids didn't even do anything for me yesterday (well, DS1 did but he forgot it at school). I am really sad and starting to feel like it's no longer in the cards for me.

Oh honey, I wish I could give you a hug right now.

I've got a deadline to turn in these drawings today. I got some updated information to coordinate... they changed the f-in room numbers. YOU DON'T DO THAT 2 days before it's due. Now I'm going through all the schedules making sure that things are coordinated correctly. FML.

Other than that I got the gift of Yoga from H. He heard me talk about how much I miss going. I'm namasting my butt back to feeling and looking good.

[bullygirl979]

I found this new place here that hold classes on a variety of topics. I joined the waitlist for cake decorating and macaron making. I REALLY hope someone cancels so I can go!

Two girlfriends and I went to dinner last night at a new sushi place that is walking distance from our place. They don't have a liquor license yet so we brought our own wine. It was amazing how much cheaper the bill was without restaurant priced wine. I kinda wish they wouldn't ever get a liquor license.

I thought about maybe going into the office today. Woke up and NOPE. I'm still in my pjs but I've actually been pretty productive.

I'm here and feel kind of like hell. I started feeling sick last night and that I'm still feeling it even after taking Mucinex and Sudafed. Right before a four-day weekend. Grrr

My parents didn't send me anything for Valentine's day after all. I cried briefly after I got home because I felt pretty forgotten overall, even at work. I did get two creepy valentines from a student, but eww. I'll be okay, it just hit me how alone I feel sometimes. I reminded the cats that they were my valentines and I did get snuggles. But yeah, staying resilient while trying to date is hard sometimes.

Hugs, tiramisu!

Hugs tiramisu

[udscoobychick]

((tiramisu)) and ((cuddlyevil)) I'm sorry you guys had lousy days.

I had so much fun at Wining Wednesday yesterday...we had 6 people there, and we talked and laughed (mostly laughed) for 2.5 hrs. It was a blast. And one of my friends made chocolate-covered strawberries for everyone. She's so sweet!

So glad today is Thursday. I've realized that I need to figure out how to build workflows in SharePoint. I believe that might be the only thing to make my inbox manageable.

Working remote tomorrow because we are hoping my dad gets released from the hospital. Fingers crossed!

It's now 5pm. You know who didn't show up between 1 and 5pm? Yeah, the delivery people with my dishwasher. But the store called at 3pm to ask if I was satisfied with my install. Yeah. Won't that be fun to sort out in the morning, plus it's not like we're around next week to reschedule.

Delivery and installation of home appliances really is the most inefficient process ever. Sorry they didn't show up as promised.

[bullygirl979]

chalupa, they didn't show up at all??

They “cannot find” the dishwasher they ordered 6 weeks ago for us (took 3 weeks to come in, first available install date was 3 weeks from then). But they didn’t actually call to tell me that; I had to call at 5:30 and ask where the F the installers were. I’m betting some idiot sold it when it arrived at the store. So yeah, they’ve reordered it and we get to do this all over again.

Oh, I hope you are being compensated for that screw-up! I would be livid.

[doglove]

That sucks chalupa!

I’m not ready to invest the amount of emotions it takes to be livid into a plastic and stainless dishwasher, but I am definitely annoyed and inconvenienced, and they will be refunding me the installation fee. I also told them I should have bought a kitchen aid from Home Depot (this is a bosch from Lowe’s)
