Wednesday whines and wins

[bullygirl979]

Gimme your wins and whines (and wines, if you so choose)!

[mags]

I only have whines today

1. Going to funeral this morning of a 43 year old with 2 young boys.
That's all I have

[doglove]

mags that’s awful.

My only win is that finally after a week of a non-stop migraine, it’s gone! I started steroids on Monday. I think the rain yesterday to wash away the pollen also helped.

[tiramisu]

mags I'm so sorry, that's awful.

doglove the pollen this year can go fuck itself. I'm glad you're finally feeling better!


My whines:
I have this spot in my neck/shoulder area that seems to get worse from sleeping, no matter how I try to change my sleep position. Is this what getting older does?

I have cramps.

My wins:
I got to sleep an hour later because I'm going to the lie detector test this morning before going to work and I don't have to be there until am hour later than I need to be at work.

I saw Captain Marvel last night and really enjoyed it!

The training I co-presented yesterday went really well! On our feedback forms, one person called us experts. And the guy I used to date wasn't there after all!

Oh mags, that is so sad. I am sorry.

Win:
I just got back from the DR and he thinks I can start PT next week. Hip Hip Hoorey, one step closer to ditching this boot.

Whine:
My SIL has an extra ticket to the final four (it is here in Mpls) and I can't go because of this damn boot. I cannot walk that far and trying to use the damn scooter downtown would be a logistical nightmare. grrrrr

mags, I am so sorry.

That divorce support group thing is now saying the cost is $120, not $75 as was quoted in their newsletter and in an email from one of the supervisors. So, i am annoyed about that, but I am still going to go because i need the help and would like to get to know other people in the same boat.

there is a small part of me that really wonders if H has met someone else or at least has a crush, but wehn i asked him he said no and I believed him, but i have doubts. But I also don't want to push it because learning that would make me really, really mad at him and i don't want to make things go in a bad direction when right now we are dealing very well with each other. Maybe it is just a fear that is blooming in the wake of him wanting out. like there must be someone else and not just that he does not feel the same way anymore.

[bullygirl979]

mags, I'm sorry

tiramisu, have you tried getting a new pillow? I find that when mine collapses I get neck and shoulder pain

spindle92, can't your friend drop you off at the venue and then park?

[mags]

cleo did the group respond as to why their ad is misleading? That's BS

[tiramisu]

HUGE win: I passed the lie detector test!! Now it's just waiting for the fingerprinting results to come back and they can tell the company that I can move forward.

bullygirl979 I had to switch to my down/down alternative pillow and to sleeping on my back. All of a sudden, sleeping on my side is hurting my shoulder and that pillow is too tall if I'm on my back. Plus one of my cats is sleeping all up in my arm and shoulder space on that side. Oh, pets.

[bullygirl979]

Win: OMG, it is also time for vacation!! I was also researching things to do and found an outlet mall 20 minutes from where we are staying. There is a North Face, White House Black Market and Lululemon outlet. My wallet is already crying, hahaha.

Another win, I was lamenting to P about wanting to get a skin care consult. He stopped dead in his tracks and asked if I was serious. He said my skin looks markedly improved since I adopted a skin care routine and stopped wearing makeup. He said my skin glows, looks fantastic, and I was crazy for thinking it didn't look good.

Whine: other than being a little tired, I'm good today.

[jigsy]

mags, That is just really sad. I'm sorry.

[mags]

Thanks everyone
Cancer sucks!

The service was beautiful. My heart breaks so hard for those kids.

There were over 500 people there, that says it all.

Life is short ladies.

bullygirl979, you must not follow college hoops.  

This is the superbowl of Men's college basketball.  You can't just drive up to the front door.  All the city blocks all around US bank Stadium are blocked off for all the activities outside and then there are 50,000+ people inside the stadium for the game.

mags I am so sorry.

A half win: I finally found a candidate today to backfill someone that left my team in December. DECEMBER. We badly need someone to take this work that we've been muddling through (on top of our own full workloads, of course), but man, I feel so bad for him. I want to tell him that I don't know what's going wrong with his current job, but it can't be as bad as it is here. LOL. I'm sure my boss and the recruiter would be absolutely thrilled if I said that to anyone. Plus, he underpriced his salary requirements by a good 20K. He's going to kick himself later.

A full win: OWEN WALKED SOUNDLY TODAY. Not one limp. Of course, this is because I went through the pain of getting both the vet and the farrier out to the barn at the same time for a joint consult. It is nearly impossible to get either one to commit to a specific time, let alone not be late to an appointment. Miracle of miracles, they showed up at the same time. Vet rolled out his ultrasound machine, farrier stood by ready to watch the horse walk and recommend if he needed different shoes/padding to make him comfortable...and the horse strolled out of his stall with no hint of the swollen knee I've been dealing with for 6 weeks, not one bit of a gimp, and then trotted around the arena happy as a clam. I should have coordinated this now-unnecessary appointment at least 2 weeks ago! He won't be back to riding yet, because I don't want to aggravate whatever finally managed to heal, but he'll start by getting to stretch his legs a bit for a week or so instead of being stuck in his stall all day, and then we'll try to gradually build up some riding time after that. I am so relieved - I hope the issue is gone for good now.

Whines: this pollen season is killing me with all the sinus pressure.

Wins: I saw a long time friend for lunch this week. Hung out with my Mom and she bought me this gorgeous mirror for my entry/dining room.

I got my nose pierced with a tiny little sparkly stud. I've wanted to do it forever so I did.

[gault]

Whines: just busy. Nothing crazy

Wins: i ordered some spring/ summer dresses and a few tops. Embracing the 45 degree weather, dammit. Also i started using a meal delivery service to eat better and am loving it. The food is great, it's good with portion control, etc

Wednesday was my birthday! And it was a total win I took the day off and just relaxed. Watched movies, went shopping for new glasses and ate Chipotle (lunch) and sushi (dinner).

Whines involve work, of course. I still feel like I'm in way over my head. But I muddle through, one day at a time...
