Aka: Allison is a fucking moron.
I meant to tip my Uber driver $20 and tipped him $40. 🤦🏻‍♀️ there was a lag in the app and it kept telling me I didn’t tip. UBER IS A LIAR.
I need ham like water Like breath, like rain I need ham like mercy From Heaven's gate Sometimes ham salad or casserole or ham that’s free range, all natural I need ham

Most expensive trip ever. Oh well.
$20 is a generous tip! I have never tipped that much for Uber. Actually, I tried once but the max the app would let me tip was $R15 (reais in Brazil).

OMG! I would assume Uber would be willing to fix it, but I would be afraid they would take the $ back from the driver vs just eating the price.
It’s my birthday. I have a full day of stuff I don’t want to do planned.
Dh gave me my gift this morning. It’s a really ugly necklace; one of his employees is into metal working but it’s NMS at all (very rough/chunky, silver, ugly stone pendant plus I rarely wear necklaces so all of it is a giant WTF). I never wear any of the “jewelry” he buys from this guy. He’s just the worst gift giver and I’m tired of it.

You probably made someone's day extra happy.
I’m notorious for over tipping. Lol. But not by THAT much. Good grief.

Uber couldn’t refund anything bc the tip is automatically given to the driver. They did give me a $20 trip credit through. I thought that was nice bc it was totally my fault.

I always complain about my kids so I'm going to change that up today. I am so proud of DS1. He KILLED IT last night at swim lessons and SWAM!! BY HIMSELF!! They "graduated" him to the next class and the teacher asked if I'd keep him with her in the next level because she LOVES him!! And he got 2 ribbons and the first thing he said when he got out of class was I am going to keep this one and give this one to DS2.
Dude. My kid can be a huge stubborn asshole, but he's also a GOOD human and it felt really good. I was that mom sitting in the chairs clapping and gushing over my kid and I am not usually that mom. <3
I got some news at the doctor yesterday that is causing me a fair amount of anxiety. Essentially, I've had a lump in my labia for almost a year. I saw my OB six months ago and she said that was a pretty unusual thing but it was probably a cyst and not to worry and come back this month. So yesterday I did and it has grown so she's conferring with an oncologist and running some bloodwork. She has a thing she thinks it is (cyst adjacent) but that thing is exceedingly rare - like medical textbook territory. She says we'll know more after she talks to the other doctor and my test results come back but either way, I'm having surgery in my no-no area "ASAP." I'm totally panicked and also like, who the fuck has this happen to them?
circa1978, sending lots of good thoughts that it's nothing bad.
redheadk, Happy Birthday! I always have these grand plans that my birthday will be a me day and I'll be one of those ladies who spends the day at the spa and shopping and it never happens. See also - mother's day 99% of the time.
It’s my birthday. I have a full day of stuff I don’t want to do planned.

Happy birthday, redheadk! I hope the day improves!! Your story makes me think of an old Dick Van Dyke episode. I couldn't find just the snippet, but if you want to commiserate with an old, fictional character, click here and go to the ~8 minute mark.
Oh man circa1978, I’m sorry, how annoying and stressful! I hope it’s resolved quickly and easily. I had a cyst (not bartholin, but similar, just different location) and man oh man, that thing was painful AND it got huge and so uncomfortable.

Happy Birthday!! I'm sorry it's off to a bad start. 9/10 times my husband is awful at gifts/special ocassions, and makes no plans for anything else either. If I feel like something special for those times I buy it myself or do it myself so that it doesn't become a bigger deal for me. But you know what? 1/10 times he manages to put in effoert and do it right - which means he can and just doesn't. And it's bullshit. People constantly say we should let stuff like this go because "things" don't matter. But it's definitely okay to be annoyed or hurt by this, even if he's great in ever. other way.

I’m going cicada hunting today. I saw my first one (ever in my life) a few days ago and have found a few of their holes in my back yard but they haven’t emerged yet. I’m trying to find a shortcut to my local Dunkin’ Donuts in my very unwalkable neighborhood and it’s through a wooded area. I expect to see a few. They are very cool
My youngest daughters school nurse just called. I was like OH SHIT SHE'S GETTING QUARANTINED AGAIN, NOOOOOO.
She twisted her ankle a bit while running and needed some ice, but she has to call when the wind blows the wrong direction so this definitely deserved a call.
Every Wednesday, DS1 starts an hour late for school. Every day other than Wednesday, it is like pulling teeth to get him out of bed by 7am so he can be at school on time. Every Wednesday, without fail, he is up and peppy before 7am. I just... wtf kid. It is one of my greatest annoyances right now.
Our team started going back to the office 2 days a week starting a couple weeks ago. This is for three offices in different states. Our office here only has five people total in our group. We learned last week that the rented building we’re in requires people to wear a mask even when they’re in their cubes and appropriately spaced. I don’t have an issue with this, but it now means they’ve decided the people on our team who sit in cubes won’t be in person until that mandate is lifted. So today I am going to go sit in my office with a door and there will be literally no one else from my group there. It’s so dumb and I am kind of annoyed about going in.
TR, did you have surgery? I have to say that my doctor did not talk up that experience. Also, while she examining me yesterday she was all, "can I take pictures" and I was like, here I am, at the age of 43, having someone take the first-ever crotchshot. Sure? Why not? Then she wanted to show them to me and I was like, you know what? I'm going to pass. Specifically what I said was "This is not Our Bodies Ourselves."
circa1978, that reminds me when I had a tumor on my ovary and at my follow-up the doctor asked if I wanted to see the pictures and I'm like "nope, good, thanks." Like no, I don't want to see the tumor and ovary you took from my body.

I'm getting my second CSA box today. I'm getting kohlrabi, which will be a first for me. I'm also getting some lemon thyme which I think I'll make shortbread out of.

Lol! This sounds very awkward. I hope whatever it is, it is easily treatable and the surgery is no big deal!
circa1978, no. She said if it didn’t burst on its own that she would drain it if I got too uncomfortable. I was sitting in a warm sitz bath every day and the day it felt like my crotch was going to explode and I was going to make an appointment for the next day, it drained on its own that evening. The relief was immediate.
circa1978, ugh, I'm sorry! The waiting for more info must be so hard. Fingers crossed it is something that can be dealt with quickly and easily.
redheadk, Happy Birthday! I think you need to buy yourself your own bday present. I basically tell H exactly what I want and it is usually a massage. My bday was 5/11 and I'm going next week! I can't wait!!!
Today is DD1s 6th birthday. I wish it was a weekend. It's gorgeous out and I don't feel like working. I should have pulled her from school and taken her to the beach. She would have loved that!
ssmjlm , yeah, she seemed surprised. I want to be woke and body positive and my labia is beautiful I'm sure - although perhaps not at its best at the moment - but I get queasy at having my blood taken. I was not in the mood. As a fun fact, I've actually already been in a medical journal so what are the odds that would happen twice? Which is part of the reason that I'm like, no this has to be more dire. What are the odds I would get something that has only been documented in medical literature a handful of times?
I am in the office today. I am volunteering at commencement this afternoon, which I think will be fun but is kind of throwing me off for getting stuff done today. I am not 100% sure if the time I am scheduled is the time that I'm supposed to check in or if it's the time I should be at the gate where I am a greeter. I am probably going to show up early just in case, since I have to take a shuttle between the two locations.
Next Tuesday is my final interview for that other job I applied to. I'm pretty sure I am going to take it if offered, but I'm having a lot of feelings about that so I'd like to just get it over with and not have to think about it anymore. Higher ed hiring cracks me up. It's already been 5 weeks since I was told I was going to be interviewing. To be honest I'd rather not start for a while anyway (I feel like there is a ton of stuff in my current job I wouldn't mind wrapping up first) so I'm not in a rush, but it will be nice to clear out that mental space at some point.

I wanted to like your post to say Happy Birthday, but sorry about all the other stuff. Hopefully it turns around - treat yourself to a yummy lunch!

I have Lemon Thyme in my herb garden and I love it, it goes so well with Chicken.
I waited too long to make my DL renewal/real ID appt, and now I've got an appointment at the DMV ON my birthday (they expire on your birthday in my state). The first few locations I tried the earliest was a week after so I'll take it, but ew.
wildrice, bless you for volunteering at commencement. I usually have to attend every commencement and while there are certain things I love - I always cry - it's always such a panic. This year more than most.
