Good morning!
The safari was so fun yesterday! But I’m going back again- I feel like mine was the only car whose roof wasn’t licked by the giraffes. What don’t they like about my car?! It’s not very clean, it won’t taste like soap, guys, I promise!

DS discovered best friend jewelry. He was so upset when they only had “girl stuff” at 5 Below. He and I sat down and looked online for a boy girl set for his best friend. We found the cutest little Dino set. He gave our neighbor hers yesterday. The mom sent me pictures of them wearing them together. It is the cutest thing ever. But I am biased. His is green and hers is pink. Now O is wanting to get them matching shirts. 🥰
SD18 is off to bootcamp today. We had dinner last night and dropped her off at the hotel. She's been texting this morning, waiting around for her physical and paperwork and stuff. They will shuttle everyone to the airport at some point and then by tonight she will be on base.
I took tomorrow off because initially I made the appointment for a home euthanasia for my dog. I started his eye drops again on Saturday cause I noticed his eye was wonky and he has been HOPPING around the yard. I cancelled the appointment and he's been frolicking all week so I guess he has some more time left in him, I feel bad his eye probably hurt and thats probably why he had been whining 😔
Anyway, my boss told me to still take the day off (without using vacation time) so I have a free day tomorrow!
FI and I are moving in 2.5 weeks. I am in the midst of the busiest 2 weeks of of work for the year (our fiscal year end is next Saturday)...I'm working like 11 hours a day and trying to pack at the same time. FI is a huge help with making the calls to get our new utilities and stuff set up and the new house, but I am STRESSED right now and I'm not sleeping well.
I also had to just get two trees removed from my yard because OF COURSE they couldn't wait for 2.5 more weeks to die and become the new owners' problem, so I just dropped $500 on tree removal and have to have new things planted in their place. Not that I wanted someone else to pay for it, I just wish I didn't have to be the one to deal with it, lol. I wish the trees just didn't die, they were nice trees!
Get me out of this house.
I am legit on the verge of losing my mind right now. Send help.
lol my half-brother (with whom I am not close, I couldn't tell you the last time we spoke) wished me a happy 27th birthday on Facebook today. Neither of those digits is correct lol. I don't know if he's joking or what.
ETA: It appears he's referencing something I don't remember at all lol

I move/leave Friday. I am SO busy between now and then. Work stuff, final packing, meeting a friend for lunch. And I packed like 95% of my stuff a couple weeks ago, so this should not be this hard at this point. I really should have taken tomorrow off, but since I didn't, a bunch of meetings got scheduled that I HAVE to be at. Yikes! I just keep reminding myself that the end is in sight!

David is talking to all of his little enrichment class buddies when they’re on break. It’s basically an impromptu show and tell. But I looked up and noticed he’d bumped the chromebook and my lazy ass is visible in the background. Haha oops
I have to give a training this afternoon. It is the first one I've done in-person since before COVID, and of course I super procrastinated on putting it together. Like, I'm still finalizing it and it's at 1:20 this afternoon. I don't know why I do this, but since I've been doing it for 25+ years now, I guess I am just going to accept this is who I am lol. It will be fine, I just sometimes wonder how awesome I'd be if I actually prepared things ahead of time. Like if stuff I throw together last minute is decent, what would I be capable of if I did NOT do that?
I have a phone call with a recruiter this afternoon. I'm 99% sure I am not interested in the job (it's with a construction company, which would be a huge industry change!) but I figured I may as well see what they have to say. I think I'd need at least a 25% pay increase (as well as solid benefits) to seriously consider changing out of higher ed, but honestly that might not be an unreasonable number so who knows.
I’m having models taken to possibly have some work done on my front teeth. I hate having impressions taken, it always makes me gag. I’m taking DS1 with me and we’re going to stop and grab my parents donuts (my dad is a dentist and my step mom works with him). Yesterday when I left work my schedule was only full in the morning and I’m hoping it stays that way. I wouldn’t mind a free afternoon! I’m taking the boys to a local water park tomorrow night because their orthodontist rented it out after closing time. I’m going to sit in a lawn chair and eat pizza and be lazy.

Is today at least your birthday? LOL
haha yes he did get that part right. I'm sure only because Facebook told him.
I've been having computer problems the last two days mainly with our Webex and Microsoft Teams. For in house meetings it's fine, whatever, I just work around it, but yesterday it caused me to be late to a meeting with state regulators, so that sucked.
I'm going to the beach on Friday and can't wait. Of course, I'm taking 4 teenaged girls, so that might cut in to my enjoyment a little bit LOL
DH and I are debating if we want to drive down to the beach this weekend for what amounts to 1.5 days there. It's only a 2-2.5 hour drive, but at the same time, I still kind of need to catch up on some stuff around the house. Then DH goes "well there aren't that many weekends in summer left," so I don't know.

My DD got braces last year and I remember dreading them doing impressions on her. Technology changed big time since I had braces and it was more like an xtray/scan and no impressions at all. Hopefully it is the same for you!

I'd send DH and kid, and stay home alone, lol.
This was going to be my suggestion lol
I love nice weather and time off, but at the same time I often hate the pressure to enjoy it or make the most of it lol.

This may happen in August since he's still WFH and I'm hybrid and we have some friends the next block over coming down before school starts.

I’m logging out early and going to to take a nap. Covid fog is killing me today. I can’t think or even work. I’m so ready to be back to my old self. It’s been 7 months. I’m over this shit
After a really long leaseback we finally get the keys to our new house today!!!! And I found out that the old owners are getting it professionally cleaned today and are getting the locks changed for us ❤️ DH is still OOT (3 more days) but I have planned a sleepover at the new house in the new playroom for tonight so that should be fun!
H was gone for work last night, which means I didn't sleep at all. I don't know why sleeping alone makes me convinced someone is going to break in and kill me or something, but that's all I can think about! Same thing happens to me in hotels if I'm alone. I'm so glad he's coming home tonight because I'm so tired.
