Why am I awake right now!? I heard DS2 get up and thought it was closer to 8. Nope. 6:56 when I looked at my phone. Kill me.
I think I’m going to go bundle up and drink some tea on the patio.
I’ve got a bunch of random adult-y things to do today, including trying to replace the lock on our sliding glass door, fix some banking information for our 529 accounts, and see if we’re allowed to stop escrowing payments to our lender and just pay our insurance and taxes ourselves. Super exciting.
DS1 is spending his birthday weekend with MIL, so we just have DS2. Looking forward to spending some one on one time with him. He’s been pretty enjoyable lately.
My Tapatalk app has randomly started bookmarking threads I participate in and telling me when someone has posted in a thread. I have no idea what happened, but all the extra notifications are so irritating. Has this happened to anyone else?
I am so annoyed. I told H I’d “make a nice breakfast” today. He told me he defrosted the bacon. When I went cook this AM I saw he took out the leftover frozen bacon from last weekend (3 slices) that I usually set aside for use for dinners. It’s in a ziplock next to the full pound which is in the package, so this is not an “oops grabbed the wrong package” situation.
Did he think I was only making HIM breakfast? That the rest of us would sit and watch him eat bacon? WTF dude.

My weird kid is always into vintage things. Lately it's the original Scooby Doo and Looney Tunes, and Calvin and Hobbes and Peanuts comics. (Before this, it was Voltron and Sonic, but both before their reboots so I couldn't find any gift he wanted.) He discovers all these things on youtube? It is very wholesome but I'm also probably raising a tiny hipster.
I don’t really know how I did this, but I planned a weekend trip with a friend in May for us to get away from our families. I just realized that the day we check out is DS2’s birthday. I don’t think they’ll change the reservation at this point. How bad would you feel about not seeing your kid on their birthday until about 1pm?
Also woke up at 7 for no good reason, after staying up later than usual reading last night. Between that and the background noise from DS's Minecraft phone call with a friend, my head is killing me.
It's cool and drizzly out, and I'm really wishing the screened porch we're replacing our deck with was already done. It would be the perfect place to procrastinate on laundry, weeding, and meal planning today, lol.
isabel, I would be ok with it. But I also do just about anything for a weekend away! I don’t have much to do today! I’m going for a walk with a friend, I need to go to Target and that’s about it. DH is riding to some ponds to go fishing so maybe we’ll meet up for a beer outside at a brewery. I have had the most annoying pain on my lower left side for the last 25 hours. It feels like ovulation pain but I’m on the pill and I’m supposed to start my period next week, so I’m on the last week of pills. I took ibuprofen last evening and it didn’t really do anything for the pain. It’s an annoying dull ache/pain and it goes down the front of my left thigh too. Any ideas?
isabel, I wouldn't feel bad about this (but I also did the same thing to my H on our first anniversary lol). Maybe your H can get the kids something special for breakfast, and you can face time with DS in the morning and say you can't wait to see him, and make the rest of the day special when you get home.

DH and I have both missed part or all of kid birthdays here and there, and it's fine. A little sad more for us than them, but we just make sure that we have a solid plan for celebrating and making birthday traditions (like streamers on their doors when they wake up in our case) happen.

We do streamers on their door too. 😊 DH is good about taking care of stuff like that. It’ll work out.
Why are washing machines so expensive?! And I’m still mad my 4 year old Whirlpool crapped out.
They really don't make things to last anymore. As I shake my cane. I had an oven for like 3 years that crapped out. I have an HVAC system that is from the 70s and is still going strong.
I’m getting my hair cut today! I’ve had 1 other haircut since the pandemic started, but this feels even bigger. I randomly had my hair cut very short in February 2020 and it just worked out that I didn’t need a cut until numbers decreased a bit in the fall. This time, though, I feel like I’m just lost under all of this hair. I cannot wait!! The weather is going to be nice, I’m excited to get out of the house and spend the day doing whatever I want to do.
It's restaurant weeks here in my city. It's running for two weeks due to COVID; usually it's just one. Anyways, we've found several new to us good restaurants and look forward to trying more.

I bought a new set for my TH in May 2019 and then sold said TH to move back to my hometown in June 2020. We bought a new construction house in my hometown in Sept 2020. New construction don't come with washers or dryers... so I bought two sets in less than 2 years. *cries*
We are going out to lunch today, so of course the beautiful sunny weather we had most of the week is gone and it is grey out. It's not actively raining but looks like it could. I am not quite sure we want to eat indoors yet (even though we are both fully vaccinated) so I hope it waits to rain until afterward.
I have a massage at 4pm, which I am SO excited about. I have missed massages so much. I think after that I'm going to stop at Homegoods. So today feels like a pre-pandemic Saturday! Thank goodness for science and vaccines!
We got back from Colorado on Tuesday and I have been worn out ever since. My period is all weird and I'm reading that women are reporting unusual menstrual cycles as a side effect of the vaccine, which I just received so I'm hoping that's all it is. So, we're forgoing our usual long hike for outdoor brunch instead! And then heading to Central Market to pick up food for the week. It is such a beautiful day, I'm glad to be out in it.

He should go to the store and pick up some bacon. :-)
It’s going to be beautiful today. I woke up and read for a bit, DH’s allergies are acting up from mowing the grass, so at 7 I took the dog downstairs and let him sleep in.
I started CBD capsules a couple weeks ago and while I’m not necessarily sleeping more, I’m sleeping better.
I finished building a tray for our rec room’s ottoman and just need to stain it. After lunch we’re going to for a family bike ride.
Tomorrow I’m going over to my parents to sew bookmarks for E’s class for her birthday. I’m not a good sewer and my mom says she has interfacing so I didn’t need to buy any.
My master plan to leave my full time job and go into private practice is humming right along!
I bought the dip powder nail stuff that was recommended on here and I did it last night. They look soooo good! I’m thrilled! Was that spindle92 who rec’d it? Whoever it was, thank you!
Yes it was me and I'm so glad you like it. It really is super easy and they last.

I'm exhausted. I went to bed too late, and woke up a bunch last night because I was having weird dreams, and then I got kept awake by a neighbor's dog who gets let outside in the morning and barks for HOURS. If I'm not awake I can sleep through it, but if something else wakes me up it, then it's too much and keeps me from falling back asleep.
We back up to a greenspace so sound travels oddly, and I don't even know which neighbor. Ugh... So tired... Zzzzzz
