I'm part of a group that has been working on a local issue for months. Our local officials are discussing and possibly voting. I'm so nervous! It would be a huge victory if they passed it.
I'm still in a pre-vacation tizzy. Still struggling to focus on making the lists I need, though I managed to start my packing list last night.
The coffee pot this morning overflowed, sending grounds and crap everywhere. I filtered it out and salvaged what coffee I could and OMG. HELLA STRONG. And I love strong coffee but this is, like, 4-cup jitters level.

I'm going back and forth about dying my hair purple. I did purple highlights 2 years ago and loved it, and it went over fine at work. I don't want to do it forever because I have to bleach it first and don't want to do that too often, so I was thinking about it just for the spring/ early summer.
I have an appointment next week. My usual person is on maternity leave for a few months and she recommended someone in the meantime who happens to specialize in crazy colors...
DH decided to start laundry before leaving for work this morning. While I was at the gym, in fact. So I arrived home to a washer full of wet clothes, including all of my jeans.
Yay for spare (clean) workout pants, and for working from home...
Also, I'm doing more voice-over work today. And I have to place my chair at it's lowest height for me to be at the correct height for the microphone. And this morning was leg day, so getting in and out of the chair is not so fun.

I really want purple highlights, so you should do it so that I can live vicariously through you!
@bernadine, I hope the measure passes! I bet it would be a good contribution to point to for your DCC campaign!
I am muddling among. My dad went for an MRI an hour ago to assess stroke damage and Iβm expecting a call soon about it. I cant focus on work and Iβm both nervous and hopeful that my trip will get canceled tomorrow so I can go out there to see him sooner. I dont have the energy to cancel and reschedule everything but our flight is on a weather advisory and maybe it will just get nixed and it wonβt have to be my fault.
My poor sister and BIL spent all of yesterday freaking out because the ambulance brought my dad to an out-of-network hospital. When they admitted him they asked about transferring him to an in-network hospital but he wasnβt stable enough. They genuinely thought that weβd be responsible for paying for everything out of pocket. I wish theyβd called me and let me look into it since thatβs almost never true when someone is admitted emergently. They stressed my dad out a ton and delayed his tests by a day. Hello!? This is what I do? Why did no one call me?

The IT person just told me that I had to use the icon in Adobe Acrobat to get the print panel. βGoing through the menu or control P doesnβt work!β Whaaaaa? Iβm not the most technological smart person but um...that shouldnβt matter?

seeyalater52, I loved the purple highlights. My hair is really dark so they were subtle, but still, you know, purple. I had a groupon and did it as kind of a lark.
pixy0stix, you are always my crazy hair inspiration/ bad influence. (Except I'm not shaving it anytime soon.)
I have to do a bunch of math and budgety shit at work today so of course Iβm searching the internets for a chair to replace my beloved squishy old arm chair that H hates and has seen better days.
I found a couple of decent and super fun contenders on the lexmod website!
I've been checking the board from my phone instead of my laptop since before we went on vacation last month, but can't remember my sign in so I cant comment, like or post from there, and by the time I do get on my laptop I forget what I comments I had wanted to make. I feel like a creepy lurker.lol
I got prescription eye drops for dry eye that have been working really well, but yesterday I noticed a weird metallic taste, that apparently is a side effect for a relatively small number of people. Lucky me. It is definitely something that I can't live with...heightened taste is one of my superpowers and I enjoy cooking/food too much to have everything taste like metal. Boo.

DH started WW about 2 months ago and he's down 20 lbs. I'm really proud of him, but I also miss rice and potatoes. It's not helping that I've been tracking and eating great (like 90% of the time) over the same time period, but I'm not losing weight. It's also exhausting to have to keep track of ingredients and amounts when I cook.

I have actually kept my New Years resolution to work out three times a week (with a couple of exceptions due to work travel). And two-and-a-half months in, I have to say that I am looking much more toned, both upper and lower body. I have nice little muscle-curves on my thighs! Haven't lost any weight for more than a few days, unfortunately, and I'm not dropping sizes/inches either, but I feel strong and that feels good. Still working on my fluffy middle, but now I can feel that I do have abs under there somewhere. So yay!

My dad just finally had his MRI and things are looking ok. The biggest post-stroke issue is that he has lost substantial vision, which was already impaired due to his last stroke. Over the course of a year he recovered enough that he regained much of it and was cleared to drive again, but I honestly don't know what we will do if he doesn't recover this time. The doctors are already warning that recovery after a recurrence is more challenging. He still works (he's 64) and needs to be able to drive to keep his job and housing. He doesn't have a partner to rely on, and I don't think my sister or I are able to financially support him, although in theory he could live with us if he needed to. I am so scared and overwhelmed.
I'm not even writing this for any reason really except to get it out. Ugh. I kinda feel better?
