Thanksgiving week things

What's shaking this week??

I have SOOOOO much to get done before Thursday and I somehow have to work today and tomorrow too. I’m totally going to have to phone it in on the work stuff. That’s all I got...

Oh, and yes, I do know that’s screwing around on here is not helping me. Time management failure.

Hiya!

I have a Dr appt this afternoon to talk about my continued lack of sleep. I hope he has some great ideas, because I'm freaking drained. I suspect a lot of it is work stress, and that will be going away soon, but I just want a night of uninterrupted sleep (I got 7 hours on Saturday night for the first time in months, and felt like I was about to take over the world - Christmas lights are up, my flooring grout lines were scrubbed by hand, laundry washed and folded, etc).

Owen had a good re-check appointment on his torn ligament. I'm now supposed to ride him for our 20 min daily walks, and gradually build up to time and some gentle hills. I'm so glad there's some healing happening on that ultrasound! (that's probably what allowed me to relax enough to sleep on Saturday night, to be honest).

It's basically hell week for M working in online retail. He'll make it to Thanksgiving dinner with his family, but then he'll go in to the office and pretty much work straight through until Saturday, then Monday will be crazy for him again. So this is basically a "single girl" week for me, with plenty of opportunities to starfish the bed.

I have to complete a drug screen for my new job. I can't remember the last time I had that, actually! I had to be fingerprinted for my current job, but there was no drug testing, which seems odd now that I think about it.

I am walking so much better thanks to my chiropractor and a yoga video that focuses on the SI joint! Hooray. I might actually be able to walk the thanksgiving day 5k we are signed up for and to volunteer.

We got our maternity photos back and they are lovely. Just waiting for her final edits to post them. ❤️❤️ A’s dad and stepmother are coming into town for the holiday and it’ll be nice to see them. We’ve been busy with baby room projects and getting that all set up, now I have 292746292 loads of baby clothes, diapers and blankets to wash to prepare. I can feel this little one moving around all the time now. Love it!

Today is my last day of work until December 3rd! So I have a two-day week this week and a two-day week next week. Tomorrow I'll have the whole day off to clean, do laundry, pack, etc. Wednesday I fly to NJ (well, JFK) for Thanksgiving. I come back next Monday. So I have a lot to get done tomorrow, but it will be good. I might try to go buy a new pair of corduroys because the ones I have are definitely getting to be too big. Some of my work pants are so big I can pull them off without undoing them. Hoping to just maintain through the holidays.

Still sad about the guy I was dating, but the more I reflect the more I see how much work there would have been between us on some things. Many of my friends are convinced I'll hear from him again, but I doubt it. I'll be mentally prepared if I do, though.

We are supposed to have some true winter weather this week, so I'm basically waiting for that shoe to drop. 6+ inches tomorrow night into weds, and who knows how many inches this weekend. Makes. Me. Cranky.

Bf and i had more marriage talks this weekend and are pretty set on it. So it's not a matter of yes or no, just a matter of when. I found out that he has originally planned on proposing in January, but wanted to get a proper nicer ring. I told him i don't mind waiting.

Eeek gault! How exciting!

I'm bracing for the storm as well, and am thankful I have no where to go! I'm currently working from home and plan to do this tomorrow as well. Nashville was fun, but man I'm too old to hang with the party crowd! People definitely take their drinking very seriously!

I'm on the struggle bus to actually get stuff done today, but it's a short week, so it doesn't really matter, right?

Just wanted to say hi from somewhere over Lake Michigan!

Also, got to see snow on the ground from the plane. There was LOTS of turbulence over Colorado. But no coffee was spilled!
