MY LIBRARY BRANCH IS REOPENING FOR CURBSIDE PICKUP!
I got the heads up from my our favorite librarian a few days ago so I knew they had reactivated the holds and requests. We have a county system so you can request any item from any branch. We have a stack of new stuff waiting for us. My son is so excited! I'm going to a neighborhood chocolate shop to get some individually wrapped goodies for the staff. SO EXCITED!
Mine too dochas but only on Tuesdays from 4-7. Lol
Ugh. Ours is 10-4. The drop box for returns is open today and I'm equally excited about that. When they announced schools were closing I went straight to the library and took out a stack of stuff. I am not comfortable having it this long, even though they've made Aug 1 the due date for everything. I don't want to lose something!
I’m anxiously awaiting Covid test results before I drive up to Missouri to visit my grandma. Last time I got results in under 24 hours but there were way more people in line when I went to get tested last week.

Our drop box is still closed. I’m not worried about losing them but I feel strangely guilty about keeping them for so long.
I guess the hot item of the summer is deck boxes. We have had a hard time finding one that is affordable and available for purchase. We ended up buying one from a website we hadn't heard of, and it was shipping from China. Our shipment was delivered yesterday - 5 face masks. No deck box. I googled the name of the company and apparently this is a scam and that's what everyone is receiving.
I'm pissed because we wanted the box, but I'm also laughing that China is trolling us in this way. Of all things to send - face masks. That seems like a big f-you.
I obviously paid with a CC so I am fairly certain we'll get our money back. I put in a dispute.

I was wondering where they all went! We have wanted one too and it has been very hard to find.

I'm ready for this day to be over. My H was up and down all night (and therefore, so was I) due to his sore mouth from having a tooth pulled yesterday. Then, I got shampoo in my eye while in the shower. Yes, for real, shampoo in my eye. Ugh. THEN, my 9am phone call that was supposed to be a quick, 5 minute call turned into a 45 minute call and a new project that I don't have time for. And I have a headache. Thank god this is a short week and that I'm off next week.
wildrice they've been a hot commodity around my way for a while. We were trying to buy one used on FB marketplace because none of the stores around us even had them new and they were selling like hotcakes.
I keep forgetting that I only have to work 3 days this week so every time I remember it makes me happy. We're not actually doing anything, but it will be nice to just not be working. We're actually not doing a vacation at all this year because of Covid so I'm trying to hoard my vacation days so that I can roll over a few for next year.
My daughter is mad at me because I won't let her and my step-daughter go walk around the shopping center with their friend and go out to lunch. But I'm just not ready to let my kids out in to the world like that just yet.

Well, if you find one make sure it's a legit website, lol. I never would have thought deck boxes were an item ripe for scamming. I've actually never had something like this happen before so unfortunately it wasn't my first thought when we found the site.
At this point I think I'm resigning myself to keeping all our outdoor stuff in a tub in our basement, and trying again next year. Hopefully by then we'll all have lives again and people won't all be buying stuff for their decks/yards at the same time anymore.
I just had my Covid test and I think I hyped it up so much in my head that it really didn’t seem that bad. We leave for vacation on Saturday with two other families and all the adults are having COVID tests done this week and then isolating until we leave. I’m really, really thankful that testing is so available where I live that we have this option. I’ll get my results back in 2-3 days.
Seriously, how is today only Tuesday? But very glad to be off Friday. I have a full day of meetings and Intern learning events with only a 30 min break for lunch. I'll have to do one AirPod at a time, switching them out so the batteries don't die, haha.
We bought a house in March and have been carrying two mortgages ever since. We finally have an offer on our old house and now it is listed as pending on Zillow and I'm so so stinking excited.

Mine opened for curbside 2 weeks ago and it took a full week for them to call me with my items. I do not mind at all, I was so happy to get them, but I think they were slammed with requests and I entered mine a few days after they announced, so I was likely lower on the list. They did one pick up every 10 minutes as well.

Thanks for sharing, that is good to hear. I am so nervous if I ever need a test :-( I have broken my nose twice and I am SUPER weird about anything touching my nose.
My school has announced its preliminary reopening plan, and it's not great. They expect everyone to attend in-person from Day 1, and will only be providing masks to teachers and staff. Students are supposedly required to wear masks, but if we're not providing them how can that requirement possibly be enforced? Oh, and the district is proceeding with a complicated change to grading practices/approaches that very few people seem to understand right now.
The suckage continues because I'm taking this stupid class--the last one I need for my degree--and the professor is just blithely going about pushing really intense deadlines for 100% group work without even an acknowledgement that we are all under a tremendous amount of stress from all of the 2020 fuckwittery. The semester ends in 11 days, and I'm debating whether or not to contact her about our pending deadlines and the quantity of time-intensive work she's got lined up for us because it's just too much for me to handle emotionally right now.

LOl. I'm sorry you got scammed, and I hope you get your money back.
But I also think it's pretty funny that China is trolling Americans by sending masks instead of their order. Like "Look, morons, here is what you REALLY need."
I have lost 14 pounds since May and I feel really good. I still have about 20 pounds more to go till I reach my goal. (And more like 30 to reach what would be my ideal). But I'm proud of myself for finally sticking with it. The last two years have pretty much been one personal calamity after another-- I totally ate my feelings and the number on the scale reflected that.

Like everything it's so interesting people's reactions to testing. When I swabbed myself I didn't think it was so bad. Most people I test handle it just fine, but last week a man was literally sobbing and yanking my hand away I had to wait like 5 minutes between doing the other nostril because he was so worked up!
meganew, how did you get tested? Did you have to go through your doctor or somewhere else? I'm in PA too, although I doubt testing is as available out where I am in Central PA.

I did Just Dance 2020 last afternoon with DD. I'm sore AF today. Looks like I found my new workout! It was really fun and engaging, though, so I think I might be able to stick with it!

Aw, that poor guy. My H just got back and said to him it hurt like hell- his eyes were watering like crazy- and the same person swabbed both of us.

I just called an urgent care place and told them I may have been exposed to someone with Covid- I was at the protests before I started pre-vacation quarantine, so that’s what they said to say.

Exactly! It made me laugh so hard. Well played, Chinese company.

I've had a couple hours away from my kids at least twice in the past week (once because they went to the neighbor's and today they are at my mom's) and it's...not enough. Usually I can refresh and refocus and feel more motivated after a couple hours of alone time but when they get back home I'm miserable. Granted, they're gone while I'm working so I'm just catching up on what I haven't done, not really relaxing.
I feel like an ass but I need, like, a full 40-hour work week without them I think. This is all weighing on me lately. DD2 goes back to daycare next month so I think I can keep going for a few more weeks, and DD1 will be back in school in the fall (hopefully). I'm just totally burnt out and not sure what else to do.
You are at the beach with your husband, child, and father. You are handling the kid in the waves while husband boogie boards. You step on a shell, which cuts the bottom of your foot, you are bleeding.
You hobble up to the chairs and your dad proceeds to give you water to wash the cut and you realize something is in your foot. Call your mom who is back at house to get you.
Husband and child never leave the water, despite knowing your foot was cut.
And thankfully I was able to get the shell out and currently have ointment on it and a bandaid.

Meh. Not very honestly. I'm an adult and can handle things like this on my own, no reason that my kid and H should stop having fun. Now, had you like broken a leg or been bitten by a shark and they didn't check on you, I might be pretty peeved about that.
