My parents, sister, BIL, and niece have all been struck by a stomach bug. Dd started throwing up last night- she spent Saturday night with my parents and niece. So I’m basically just waiting for it to hit me. 😭
I was supposed to start physical therapy today for my neck/arm, which is still really hurting, but h has to work late so I have to reschedule. Ugh.
Kids are on spring break and we leave Wednesday afternoon for an extended weekend. OF COURSE DH is out of town until noon Wednesday and I'm working today and tomorrow, plus calling into one meeting Wed morning. We also need to pack, get the dog to boarding, etc. I just want to be on vacation!
I woke up at 5:45 today for no reason. Since I've been working from home, I do not need to be up that early! I guess it's been kind of nice having more time before starting work?
I finally painted my living room yesterday. Well, half of it. I also had a piece of my kitchen to do, so I painted 2 walls in the living room and still have the other 2 to do later. I realized I don't actually mind the act of painting, it's the ridiculous amount of time it takes that is frustrating. Anyway, the parts I did look great and I'm anxious to do the rest. The color really brightens up the room and it just looks so much cleaner. I won't have time to do the rest next weekend, but maybe the weekend after. I am planning to figure out refinishing our floors soon, so I really want to get the painting done first.
I am definitely sore today. Painting uses muscles that are woefully underused normally.

Let me preface this by saying he's an adult and I'm not complaining (exactly) but I hate that my son is working the graveyard shift (he's in aviation maintenance). I can't blame him, really, bc while he doesn't receive a per-hour differential for the overnight shift he gets paid for a full 8-hour shift, but the official shift is actually only 5.5 hours, so it's sort of a differential, i guess. But I'm never sure when it's okay to call/text.
Raked the detritus from the yard yesterday and today I'm setting up some containers. I'll have a few kinds of carrots (I plant the seeds every 3 weeks for a couple of months to extend the harvest, some Asian green beans, jalapenos and cukes. And the regular salad greens and herbs. I still haven't quite figured out the planting season here tho. Everything is in the car and the worst part is going to be getting the soil from there to my yard.
I have an "interview" today and I'm so nervous. I haven't interviewed for a job in almost 10 years. This is a similar line of work that I'm currently in and a friend/former coworker works there. He reached out to me about making a move. I'm meeting with the owner and he said it will be super casual and not even to worry about a resume. (I did update my resume over the weekend so I have something, if asked... but it's not great.) Anyway- I slept terrible last night with stupid dreams about being late, not having anything to wear. Like the first day of school.
I thought that I had scheduled an appointment tonight for me and DD to get our Tragus piercing but apparently I scheduled it for next Monday when my kids are with their Dad so now I need to ask him to switch nights which I absolutely hate doing. He will make me pay for it. I don't want to cancel the piercing appointment though because I've already rescheduled once when my Dad ended up in the hospital. Ugh.
This is the last week before spring break and I am hoping it won’t be too bad at work. I’m probably fooling myself 😂 My washer/dryer are broken, my house is a mess, we have no groceries, we haven’t finished unpacking from our week away, and I need to begin preparing for Passover; I have that anxious feeling when I just want to feel organized and like my life is in order. But I am working from 8am-10pm today and am not sure today will be the day that happens.
The only reason I log in to FB every day is to delete all the things in FB memories because I can not handle the thought that I could die and leave behind that level of cringe on the internet. 2014 me really thought I was hilarious.
It's DS' spring break this week. He has a dentist appt this morning and then I need to fill the rest of the day so he doesn't bug his WFH dad all day. Monday is H's meeting day so he's extra unavailable for the kid whims of look at this cool pictures I drew/lego creation I made. Sadly it's suppose to be winds up to 60mph (but most between 25-40) all day so play outside/go to the park won't be a viable option for most of the day.

I should do this too. I am seeing some stuff that I posted 10 years ago and I am wondering who this person was lol.

I am impatiently awaiting the Brooks Glycerin 20 release - I don't want to pay full price for the 19 but my current sneakers are shot and I've been in such a good mode getting back into running. I cannot push these sneaks much longer bc old, and I'm coming off a very destructive injury. Wahhhhh. I just emailed my local running store like a stalker. I hope it's soon!
My son turns 14 in two weeks, and already has a job lined for as soon as he can get his working papers. He is super excited. I'm proud of him, but also trying to keep him from offering to work TOO much. He has his whole life to work, he doesn't have to offer to work full time all summer as a 14 year old...
Also, I have been super worried about him for the past two years, but he has been really been coming into his own the past couple months.
Only to have my daughter, who has been doing fine, suddenly have trouble with friendships and not having interest in activities and damn it why can't both kids just be doing fine at the same time for once.
I took a covid test again, because today would be five days of quarantine and it came back positive immediately. So, I will e home from school this week. This screws things up with my psych exam and Bio exam. we shall see what i can work out with my professors.
Oh and I maybe got three hours of sleep and have developed this spot in my throat that when I try to clear causes me to gag. Good times!

I feel like such a medical catastrophe. Nothing huge, just like a death by paper cut situation-
- Hardware needs to come out of my right ankle bc I’m allergic -Rolled said ankle at school bc it was raining and slippery and fractured my left patella. Literally hours after scheduling surgery - Need a new primary to clear me for surgery, but my BP is 158/92 so I have to go back. Oh and he’s in south Philly, land of no parking, a half hour at least from home.
I just started taking the meds I took after my BP was high after Joey. I need to get this stuff out of my ankle, my scar is broken and itchy/painful AF. Damn it!
I would like to applaud whoever it was in the Bridgerton thread who properly used "alluded." The mistake of using "eluded" for alluded makes me homicidal.

I've never seen this error, but it would make me insane.
Certainly better than hearing the mating call. The other night I thought a child or woman was being attacked, but it was just a fox. Scares me every time.

He is out of bed and at his desk. Says he had some chills overnight and feels so-so now. I am :::knock on wood::: still feeling fine. He took a rapid covid test yesterday and one this morning and both were negative.
Many of the people who work on my company’s team have not traveled for work before and we’ve got an event we all have to go to. The amount of emails I am getting asking what they can expense is crazy. Can I buy a soda? Can I buy chips? Can I have a dinner? Just be reasonable and don’t buy $300 dinners and you’ll be fine! I wish our company had a per diem or something so I could just say you can spend up to x.

We’re going to Spain in 3 weeks and our dog sitter just cancelled on us. 😩😩 I am scrambling trying to find someone new and can’t for those dates. I have one person who can for most of the time except they won’t be home when we need to drop off. So I’m trying to find someone who can drop him off for us. 🙃
I was up at 5am having a panic attack about work and could not calm myself down. Then I get to work and my coworkers spent the first hour of the day complaining about being here and listing all the people who put in their notice. I need to get out of this place for my mental health.
