Two things Thursday.

[bullygirl979]

Let's do this! Liven the board up a bit

Gimme two things. Any two things.

[bullygirl979]

1) I've been meaning to get a contractor's name/number from my neighbor. Well, I decided to go for a run after work, despite the fact it was snowing pretty good. It seemed no matter which direction I ran, the snow was pelting me in the face. As I was running back to my house, I saw said contractor walking to his truck. I went to go talk to him and got his card. Got in the house, passed a mirror and realized that my mascara was smeared all over my face from the snow. Safe to say I made an impression

I'm still working on my second thing, lol. Need.More.Coffee

[tiramisu]

1) I'm still feeling the stuff I felt Tuesday evening as I stood there with my arm through the bars of a police SUV window, wiping the tears from the face of a teen who knew it was what was needed. After sitting there for over an hour with this teen hearing the symptoms and seeing some happen and promising to be there through it with this kiddo.

2) I stayed up until 1am baking cupcakes for a kiddo who is neither biologically nor legally mine, but who I could tell needs this gesture as the family didn't plan anything on their actual birthday yesterday.

Bonus: 3) I need so much coffee today. So much. I don't want to say *all* the coffee because I know there are others who need it today, too.

1. I have found the holy grail of easy, quick, tastes great and is low carb breakfast for me.
You make them in cupcake/miffin tins, so I make 12 at a time and refrigerate them for the week.

-1 slice of deli ham. Line the cupcake tin with this
-1 egg - crack the egg into the tin
bake at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes
-add cheese to the top and bake for another 5 minutes
OMG they are heaven.


2. I have been dragging ass all week. I am not a coffee drinker but I love a white hot chocolate in the AM.
Well since I am back on low carb, I kind of had to cut this out since it is loaded with carbs.
I am craving sugar so bad in the AM it is not even funny

3. This great new local fitness place recently opened up and I am dying to try it but I cannot work out because of an elbow injury that I am currently doing PT on. Personally I think the PT is a waste of time but I agreed to give it a shot.

[mags]

1. I start new job today (don't know if I am going to like it)

2. Gianna moves out Saturday and all my babies will be gone

[SwimDeep]

1) Hormones - because that brought tears to my eyes, tiramisu I would not be able to do what you do.

2) I'm coming down off my high from earlier in the week, and I'm feeling a lot of anxiety about it. I'm questioning myself and my behavior the way I did when I was drinking. Did I do anything stupid? Did I say anything wrong? Do I need to apologize to anyone?
I think the worst thing I did was poke at dickmove over on ML.
I've downloaded an app that's going to help me track my highs and lows. I'm pretty sure I'm rapid cycling, which is not good. The mania isn't awful. The depression isn't awful. But it's noticeable, you know? I can function, but I know something is really wrong.

1. I just ordered some Christmas gifts for my husbands family. I am excited about them. I can pick them up today at Target. I had a 20% off my entire order and an additional $10 off coupon. Woot woot. I have only 2 other gifts to pick up. I talked to my Dad yesterday about our Christmas shopping adventure together. I look forward to going with him every year.

2. My Mom is getting pretty grinchy as the years go by and becoming more like my very mean grandmother. I know part of it is she is upset about not getting any grandkids. I know she say's she's ok with it but I know she's not by things she says. (Her BFF has loads and they work together). Kids have never been something I've wanted. I love other peoples. I'm a good Aunt. I just don't want my own and I'm not going to change my entire life to make her happy. My brother will also probably not give her any either.

3. My team is playing MLS eastern conference final tonight. I am nervous.

[bullygirl979]

mags, more details! Where are you working? Where is G moving to?

[chalupa]

Hugs tiramisu and mags

1. I'm brushing up my resume. I'm not happy with the direction my company is heading, and I think I should be ready to bail if shit hits the fan or if I see a great opportunity elsewhere. I hate resumes/job searches, but SO MUCH SHIT is going down. I intensely dislike our new CEO as a person, so I'm thinking it's best to go before I open my mouth and say something I shouldn't.

2. M is gone for the weekend, which wouldn't be any problem except the damn corgi was in the doggie ER yet again last week (verdict: dislocated shoulder) and his highness is on complete crate rest and must be carried in and out of the house to go potty. Except his highness is more cat-like than dog-like, and detests being carried or even touched if it's not his idea first. I'm wearing puffy coats not just because it's cold out, but also to protect my arms from the asshole dog biting me while I cart him up and down the snowy front steps. Also, he has 4 painkillers/sedatives, and even given together, they only work for an hour or so. FML.

Yes, this!

[bullygirl979]

SwimDeep,if something is wrong, perhaps it would be good to reach out to your psychiatrist?

[bullygirl979]

chalupa, holy shite! I hope he gets better soon (or M comes back early)!

THREE TO FOUR WEEKS OF CRATE REST. Which means we have at least 2 more weeks to go 

Send halp. And more antlers (OK, Amazon is already bringing more antlers, bully sticks, and cheap stuffed animals he can rip to shreds from the safety of his crate). 

ETA: Oh, and M offered to send Loki to the kennel for the weekend so I don't have to deal with this, but I just can't do that to the dog - ship him off to a place he can usually run and play and then make him live in a crate surrounded by other dogs having fun. I think that'd be more stressful on him than staying home and dealing with him myself.

Forget halp. You need booze. Lots and lots of booze.

[neonpink]

chalupa, Yikes. That sounds crazy. I agree with bully you need booze for this.

mags, I hope you like your new job and that G's moving out goes smoothly. I think it's hard on the flip side to move out too. It's such a bittersweet time.

SwimDeep, Is there someone IRL you can talk too? You shouldn't have to go through this alone.

spindle92, That breakfast idea sounds awesome. I am trying to cut back on carbs. Do you think you could you add vegetables? I'm thinking onions or mushrooms cooked down so they aren't filled with water.

Absolutely you can add some veggies.

Right now, I do not break the yolk so they are basically like hard boiled eggs with ham wrapped around them and cheese on top.

If you break the yolk and mix it up a bit and then add mushrooms and/or onions it is like a mini omelet in a muffin tin.\\

I have been going pinterest crazy lately with easy, low carb recipes.  Easy being he key word because I hate to cook and things with 8 million ingredients and 10,000 steps turn me off.

1. I've been off kilter all week and almost cried during one of my staffings today when I was telling my team that I have not been doing a bang-up job lately because I'm fried. When I finally got to my desk, a few hours later, I found an email from a team member who said "You have an impossible task most days and handle it with a smile, a great sense of humor, as well as compassion and kindness! " That really helped me feel a little better.

2. BF and I are heading to a casino tomorrow to watch a comedian with a bunch of my crazy friends. I am definitely looking forward to it!
