DDOT: My DH loves me in short hair, camo, and jeans so I can be "one of the boys". I choose to keep my hair long and only own 2 pairs of fancy jeans. The camo stays in the closet and only gets pulled out when I actually need good rain gear. I do this to annoy him but also I hated being mistaken as a boy growing up because my mom insisted I have short hair.
DDOT: I was an idiot and volunteered for the all day slot at school for the jog-a-thon tomorrow. Now it is says 100% chance of rain so I have a feeling I'm going to be wet and cold as the high temp is 55. Today it is 67 and it is sunny.
So on days like this I feel like I am doing something important. Just finished up a video complete with home video footage and pictures of a mom, who is actually a childhood acquaintance, who's child died due to a driver on meth. That is why I had to work so late last week to tape her talking to teens. We plan on showing it to schools, community events, recovery centers. My job may not be the best, but days like this I feel like we are doing something.
k3am, boot is annoying but so much better than a cast. I can't recommend a scooter enough too.
2chatter, that is totally it and the counselor mentioned it a lot. She can cause his relapse if she stays "sick" or a family divide if DH and I get "better". I think it's also that she doesn't want to live in the house alone with FIL. She never went through the empty nest stage.
FWP - I can never book cut and color together so I put it off. Then I have a grey stripe. And need a hair cut. So now I’m trying a cut one place and my usual color. Because trying to keep it together is making me BSC. Cut Sunday color Wednesday (and if DD isn’t feeling well DS and middle will come with me to color and that is bad news as it’s dinner time, and they are chaos together).
So far 4 days with my new coworker and its been great. I haven't had to do much training, we like the same music and he's not annoying. And I had a win at work, figuring out a solution to a problem we've had for a while.
Today and tomorrow are my days off. I had a great day shopping and getting a pedicure at a fancy smancy spa place and was the only customer. I was trying to chose between 2 colors for my polish and looking at the names made my decision for me. The one I chose was the last name of my 91 year old uncle that passed away on Tuesday after a long term illness. I'll be taking time off on Saturday to go to his funeral.

k3am, sorry about your foot. At least you got a boot though! Casts are the wooooorst.
TWERK: My office building still hasn't sold. Our listing contract is up with the current broker and I couldn't be happier. It's NOWHERE to be found on the internet except for their website. I am less than impressed with her and can't wait to move it. New boss knows a realtor in the next county over that really hustles so I'm probably going to give him a call tomorrow. The agency that my brother and I owned has a profit share bonus coming in about a month that I'd like to pocket my half of but refuse to do so until the building is gone. Brother wants to split some of it now then the rest later. I will be livid if I put that money into one of my bank accounts then have to take it back out to pay for the building in any way.
DDOT: I think car shopping is in my future. The driver's seat does not always move up when I need it too. The dealership had it for an entire day and "it worked fine the entire time" but I drove almost a mile yesterday before it would move. This was after I sat in my driveway for a few minutes trying to get it to move. DH wants to trade it while it still mostly works so we can get more out of it haha. I also cannot roll the front passenger window down from my side. That also "worked fine" during the 9 hour visit at the dealership. I was hoping to get more than 4 years out of this car but I've put over 70,000 miles on it.
I have an Acadia right now, but am looking at a new GMC Terrain or a Ford Edge that is 2-3 years old. I love the newer Toyota Highlanders but have not found one with the right fit of price/mileage.
I’m having problems with a micro manager on our team. I think previous coworkers used to put her in her place but they’ve retired. I have coached their replacement to politely check her with statements like we have this covered, stop looking over our shoulder, you are making everyone nervous etc. she isn’t mean just a perfectionist.
She was promoted being told not to micromanage and manages processes not people and has been told 3 other times since. I hate to make it formal and fireable and keep writing up and let her go because she is awesome otherwise and only has 1.5 years until retirement. She gets better for a month and then it starts again. She is driving everyone crazy.
It’s been ongoing issue but gets better and then gets worse.

Maybe this should have been my FFFC but I’ve started booking appointments during my work day. I still work when the color is processing but there is probably an hour or more when I’m not working. I chalk it up to my lunch and figure it evens out when I work overtime. I still feel guilty but with so many week night events and DH working late, DDs XC meets on Saturday, it’s hard to get in.
2chatter , I know my roots are bad when DSs friends point it out at school pick up There is on girl in particular who has pointed it out twice. Mind your business kid!
ETA my own update. Our kitchen is so close to being done. No one has been here the last couple of days (except the flooring guys who had to fix a section where they installed the floor over one of the vents). I think it will all come together quickly but I’m really anxious and want it to be done! The next stressor is trying to figure out where to put everything. I have new cabinets as well as an actual pantry area now so I’m trying to visualize where everything will go. I also need to paint our living room and my office area which I’m so not looking forward to but it would be so much easier without furniture so I may try to do that on Sunday.
