I had a hard day at work, so I had some wine and now I’m all of a sudden worried about my friend in remissions from breast cancer. She said all is good in public, but privately she said there was some concern. I guess I’ll text her tomorrow to see how everything is going.

Yeah, our talk went well. He made dinner Tuesday night and tonight, took the dogs out mid-day today, and did the nighttime dog walk AND bedtime with DS last night.
So, we'll see how long this lasts. Thankfully, soccer only lasts another three weeks or so.
Still no test results for DD1. She's totally fine, and if we don't get them today she will have missed 4 days this week. I just want her to go to school!
I had my first mammogram 2 weeks ago. They called me back for a follow up, which I was told is very normal for your first mammogram and especially because I have dense breast tissue. I wasn't worried until I actually read the report, which says there is a suspicious mass in my right breast. My mom had breast cancer last year (luckily caught and treated early). Anxiety is ramping up a little...
I'm exhausted in generally and unmotivated at work. I like my company but even with some awesome and affordable benefits, I'm at least 10-15k underpaid and despite big growth for our company, there is really nowhere for me to move up anymore. I don't have huge career aspirations but I really would like to be higher up than I am and be more of a voice in the room. A friend called me yesterday because her old company, a non-profit, is looking for a key position and she talked me up to the ED. It would be at least a 10k increase but don't know how the benefits would compare, especially because my current company gives me 4 months of paid maternity leave that I'll be using in 3 months. I'm going to throw my hat in the ring because it doesn't hurt to talk but it's just weird and complicated timing. I guess we'll see how it turns out but thankfully is pretty supportive and even told me last night that I need to stop thinking of my current job of "stable and secure" but "dead-end and stable and secure" so it might be worth a risk to the unknown.
I love my kid but all of the sudden she NEVER STOPS TALKING. I think it's because her brain is coming alive again now that she's back in preschool and speech but OMG PLEASE JUST STOP TALKING SOMETIMES!
and COVID ruined her ability to play by herself. She won't even go play in her big sister's room while she has the chance when sister is at school! She just wants to talk and yell at me and watch shows. I will not be able to handle when she stops napping.

My kids are on fall break. We did not make plans for them. I'm at a conference online and losing my mind.
I hate my regular job. I've been applying for other things and have an application currently in at a place that sounds awesome. I've been refreshing email constantly waiting to hear back. I feel so stuck.
