I got up at like 5:30 this morning to go to the bathroom and couldn’t get back to sleep. My husband gets up around 7 and normally takes care of the dogs and brings the puppy back up around 7:15 and I sleep until to around 8. I was still awake then but thought I’d try to sleep more and finally dozed off.
I work up after NOON when my husband texted me asking what I was going to have for lunch 😳 I had one assignment I had to do today but luckily it wasn’t time sensitive. I guess I really needed it? I had the most vivid dreams about inheriting a farm and apartments in a large cargo ship. They also involved cake. I do feel refreshed!
My FIL passed from a highly agressive lung cancer 19 years ago and it was kind of like that, diagnosis followed by even worse news immediately after. My MIL is currently being treated and she's on year 3 of treatment I think. It's such a mind-fuck.
I'm also really sorry about your cat. That's heartbreaking.
One of my classmates texted me today to tell me how much she liked my outfit last night That was so sweet of her to remember and make a point of sending a text about it!
I got both my vaccines. It took almost an hour, but now that's out of the way and I should be super healthy! I got one shot in each arm so now I'm waiting to have pain in both. I figured it was better to spread it out than to have a super sore arm from both shots, but IDK?
My chat with the new director went well! He was easy to talk to and is open to the idea of a hybrid role in the immediate future, maybe not long term (which is fine with me because because I'd be using it as a stepping stone anyway). it will take some talks between him and some other folks. "Worst case" scenario, if the hybrid thing doesn't work out, he's open to me shadowing some POs on his team until May when I'd have been there a year and would be eligible to apply for a new position on his team.
I'm tired of being hungry all the time. What do y'all eat for snacks? I feel like none of the healthy snack recs really do it for me. I don't like cheese so that's out. Nuts don't seem to satisfy me unless I eat a lot which defeats the healty purpose. I do buy precut veggies and dip, but eventually get bored of that or it gives me too much gas lol.
My favorite filling and mostly healthy snack is to mix a tbsp of pb with a tbsp of nutella and then dip a banana in it.

We have a ton of lizards in my backyard. My dog is absolutely obsessed with them, he will stand in front of the wall where they sun themselves and stare at it for hours on end. He is such a weirdo.

Stella LOVES lizards haha. And she knows the word. If we say "Is that a lizard?!" she races over to the brick wall near the outdoor shower where she's seen them before lol
So I wrote yesterday that my old boss was taken out which is awesome. But he fucked up so badly that they dissolved the entire organization at the local level and now all of my old coworkers will probably lose their jobs Bright side for me is my NDA is null and void b/c the "employer" no longer exists. Not that I'm going to call the media about it, but it's nice to not ever have to worry about it again.

Ugh, so annoyed. We were supposed to go camping this weekend, I just bought all the food for it this AM. We were going with SIL, BIL, adult niece and her daughter our great niece who is just a little younger than my kids. Now adult nephew who lives at home has Covid, like symptomatic and is miserable. They are all still going camping. The adults are all vaccinated, but DH and I are not comfortable hanging out with people who live with someone so ill. I'm annoyed they didn't opt out and let us go. I know they don't have to quarantine (niece and Great niece do not live with them, not sure how much time they have spent with nephew lately). I personally would offer the campsite up to the all healthy family if roles were reversed.
oregonpachey I'm sorry. We lost my FIL earlier this year shortly after he was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. It's horrible and unfair and I'm sorry your family is going through this. Take care of yourself.

mommin That sounds stressful and fun! Fwiw we just installed ceiling fans in 3 bedrooms and the living room and it was a very affordable project to hire out.

This is good to know! We have a lamp sitting on a box on top of the dog crate to make enough light in my son’s room. Classy! 😂 We seriously need a fan/light installed in there. I went/need so many things done and I’m afraid I’ll have to sell a child or an internal organ to pay for it (I promise I wouldn’t actually do those things).
