I had a great interview this morning, but I'm afraid the candidate might be bored in this field vs her current. I don't know if she really wants to transition over to our type of work. Need to check references now.
My state has a mask mandate in public spaces so we are still wearing masks at work even though most of us are vaccinated.
I got 7.5 inches cut off my hair yesterday. I feel like a new person.
Ours does too, and our campus has a mask mandate as well. But you are allowed to take off your mask if you are alone in a private office. Which I think muddies the waters - if you are alone in a private office with 1 or 2 other coworkers, does that violate the policy or is it up to the comfort level of the participants? There is basically a 0% chance of spreading aerosols to an unvaccinated or uncomfortable person in that instance, so the risk is really only to the vaccinated people participating.
One of the people I met with yesterday was one of the key people involved in policy creation and enforcement, so I think there is little chance of being in trouble (lol). But I am curious if there is any health or personal reason why I shouldn't be comfortable with this.
I guess it feels weird but I'm not sure it should?
bcv513, definitely go to the Pediatric Dentist. It honestly never even occurred to me that folks would bring kids to the regular dentist. Ours is wonderful and really has helped allay my daughter's fears.
What does one do with Leeks? I bought some on a whim when I went to the market hungry yesterday and I don't really know what to do with them. So far, I've cut one up and used it in a leafy greens side dish that I make and it added a nice flavor. I still have two more and am not sure what to use them for.

I'm supposed to be doing CBT, but most weeks we get off track and talk through current stuff. During the call today I started thinking when are we going to do the modules, although talking through stuff also helped. The counselor said today that we really need to start doing the modules again next week. Cool, but shouldn't they take the reigns so to speak? I guess this is where I always get stuck in therapy, they ask you what's going on, rather than leading you.
I have another three day weekend coming up as I'm taking a day off next week. Thankfully it'll be nice I want to see my dad, but then raining the day DH and I could do something outdoors. We need the rain, but I want to hit the beach or do something before it gets crowded. I don't want to move my dad's visit either because I feel better sitting outside with him.

Not sure if harissa is something most people keep on hand, but it is delicious. It's pretty spicy but one of my favorite recipes. I get my harissa at Trader Joes.
Potato leek soup or sautee them and use them in eggs/omelettes.
Leeks are life changing! Put them in pretty much anythign that calls for onions or COULD call for onions. Make sure to sautee in a boatload of butter. Nom.

My cat had emergency surgery to remove a stuck hairball from his intestines. I have things I need to do around the house but it was terrifying and he seems happiest sleeping on my lap.
I felt like I got run over by a bus after my second Pfizer shot. Body aches like the flu, but no fever. I'd say it began mildly about 24 hours after and continued for about 24 hours after that.
This is how I felt and it started with chills and cold sweats at the 17 hour mark (3:30am). Then body aches the entire day.

We are building our forever home in the country; 2 acre lot with lots of trees. We cannot wait to be there this summer! We have one neighbor to the left of us who just finished their build. The first time she messaged me, her first question to me after introducing herself was if we wanted to split the cost of a fence along the property line! I said I will talk to my husband, but honestly, we have not gotten that far as we were just getting started on the foundation. Even the first time we actually MET them, that was her first question. My husband indicated that we were more than likely not going to do a fence at this time; it may be later in the year if not a year later. The woman messaged me yet AGAIN this morning to ask me the same damn question. She is not earning good neighbor points with me. And to add salt to that wound, they are using a company/man that we have dealt with before and I absolutely refuse to do business with the man. He did us wrong and argued with us when he didn't do the fence the way we asked.
Good thing I am at the office by myself today. My language is very FOUL! LOL

I had Moderna back in February and felt terrible in the middle of the next night. Felt like I had been run over by a truck too. Fever, chills, threw up, couldn't sleep. By noon the next day, I just was tired with muscle aches.
My husband had Moderna too and only was a tad tired and a tad sore. So not fair! @@our 16 year old son has had both doses of Phizer with no side effects but a sore arm.
@@@@@totally remember how hard potty training was! Now I've found something just as hard, driving with a 16 year old on the highway. OMG. Why don't they warn you more about how hard parenting is?

For sure. Maybe this is therapist specific? But that shouldn’t be on you. My therapist will first ask me if there’s anything pressing I want to talk about and then give an overall outline of how the session is going to go and ask for feedback. But she’s the one checking time and keeping me on track. I’ve had a therapist before who was very passive and it kind of drove me crazy.
My boss asked me at 1pm yesterday to do a ten hour day to make up for some of the time I had been off, which like fine, but if I had known beforehand I would have gotten in earlier so I wouldn’t have to be there until 8pm. So yesterday she asked me if I could do a long day today and I said yes, got up early and in at 6:45am, only to find out I have a normal 8 hour day and will be off by 3pm. The communication is severely lacking but I feel like if I’m not flexible then she’s less likely to approve my vacation going forward/won’t consider me to be a “team player.” Shes kind of chaotic and disorganized herself and it doesn’t translate well to being a manager.
I’ll go with the theme here - DH and I are heading out to get our second Moderna shots! I’m really worried we will both have bad side effects. Tomorrow is DS1’s birthday, both kids are off this week for April vacation week, DS2 starts tennis lessons tomorrow (he’s my kid with anxiety so I need to be there with him etc). It’s just bad timing. But I won’t complain, I’m thrilled to be getting vaccinated! I think back to DS1’s birthday last year and how sad it was/in total lockdown. His friends did a car parade for him and it seemed like the best thing lol. I would never have imagined being vaccinated in only a year.
I'm in bed watching TV after my 2nd Moderna shot yesterday. Holy head and body aches, batman! DH keep coming in here and has woken me up like 3 times already. For nothing! I am so fucking annoyed i am just going to get up and start working.

Leek and potato soup or Smitten Kitchens spinach quiche with leeks instead of green onions (that only uses up half of one though).

Thank you kittenponypony. Part of me is like I can't tell you how to do your job, so if this isn't primarily talk based, then take charge and say we're going to go over slides, then allow x amount of time for talking...This has gone on for several weeks, so it's not a one off anymore.
I also really need some creamy soup with leek and a meat lol.
DS started preschool on Tuesday. The first day at drop off we were told he had a lot of big emotions after I left and so they asked if he wanted to write a letter to me which he could give it to me a pick up, which he agreed to. They said he dictated the letter and they wrote exactly what he said. The letter said:
“Dear mom, I want to go home. I want to get out of here. I will see you when it’s time to play outside”

I've been thinking a lot about something that is kind of (?) random, so I guess this is a good place to put it. One of the best attorneys I have ever worked with/for left our agency at the beginning of March. We worked together for just over 2 years but in addition to building a sold work relationship, definitely a friendship too. I was for sure caught off guard when she gave us all notice, but also I know she needed more growth for her career. To say I was bummed is an understatement. This is one of the hardest things for me in the professional setting, building a friendship with someone and after they (or you) leave the job its never the same. We have only exchanged a quick text in the last month and I just miss her so much. That is tough on me after we talked almost daily during the last year and talked each other through covid too. Ugh.
I felt like I got run over by a bus after my second Pfizer shot. Body aches like the flu, but no fever. I'd say it began mildly about 24 hours after and continued for about 24 hours after that.
Oh, really? I'm sorry.
We got our second Pfizer shot yesterday morning and I was so incredibly tired all day afterward but I had the most amazing night of sleep last night. It felt like I was drugged or something. When i woke up today, I felt really groggy and like how I used to feel a long time ago when I used to take sleep aids, like a hangover with no headache. It's really weird but I guess I'll take that over fever and chills. And I'm just so glad to be fully vaccinated, well in two weeks technically.
eta: H is doing totally fine. He's working from home today and doing physical/handy shit around the house. He's totally unaffected.

Wow, she has a lot of nerve! Time for a firm no. Sucky way to start off a neighbor relationship though.
Is it inappropriate to watch an HBO show like Girls or GOT that has a fair amount of sex and nudity in it on an airplane? Note: I already did this, I just got to thinking about it after the 3rd sex scene.
It has been a long ass week. We've submitted two of six proposals due this week. The other four are due tomorrow. I am so looking forward to the weekend.
I have next Friday off as a comp day and I get my second Pfizer dose on Wednesday. If I feel like shit on my day off I'm going to be so pissed.
