My grandmother lives in a 55+ apartment complex. She has a crush on her neighbor, but she’s worried about the age difference- she’s 89, but he’s only in his 70s. Lol.
I think the crush might be mutual. She went away for like 4 days a few weeks ago and he baked her a cake as a welcome home gift.
My bff and I have quarterly "Hot Mom" days (Megan Thee Stallion inspired) where we take off work, drop the kids at daycare and lay around watching TikTok and forgetting we have to be moms and adults for a few hours.
After we drink coffees on the couch, we're going to grab lunch at Chipotle, get permanent bracelets and manicures together.
It's also her birthday this weekend, so I'm surprising her with a 3 layer pistachio & honey cake.
I am still on East Coast time so I woke up at 3:30 PT. But I got to FaceTime E while H drove them to school and checked in with my mom. And since I’m alone if I need to crash and lie around later I can without disappointing anyone! I’m going to make myself semi presentable and go downstairs for coffee. I also have a THC infused energy drink I bought at the dispensary/lounge last night.

@sameoldstory, I'm so sorry. That's awful. After you take some time to process things, don't hesitate to reach out to us for resume and networking help.

How fun!!! What is permanent bracelet? A tattoo?
They're gold bracelets that are fused closed, rather than closed with a clasp. They've been popping up a lot of places here!
We have caught two mice in our pantry trap in the past week. They start trying to come inside this time of year, but normally our traps in the basement get them before they make it to the pantry. One of them was still alive when DH found it, and I felt terrible for it.
I've been cleaning out the pantry, though, and keep finding the evidence of the huge food party they were having before their demise. Sunflower seeds, corn meal, caramel corn, crackers, and boy did they have a good time with the Hershey kisses. Life is short and then you die, especially if you're a mouse. They went out having had the best meal(s) of their lives, at least.
I have to counsel an employee today. I specifically waited for an in-person day because I don't trust her home environment with eavesdropping. She also recorded our old boss w/o his knowledge or consent, so yay for the shitshow.
She is supposed to be in late, I'm just waiting for her to text me she doesn't feel well after her appointment and to bail completely.
Thank you everyone. I’m solidly in the sit-in-the-corner-crying headspace right now. I hate that my intuition was right. I’ve only been at this job 9 months so I doubt I’ll even get severance. It sucks because they courted me away from a solid job that I really liked, but dangled more money than I could refuse, and then eliminated my position. This just sucks.
My DS6 has a ping ponging fever, a cough, has eaten very little and he had a sore throat. It all started Sunday. I was looking up RSV and he has every symptom but wheezing per the cdc website. I'll be calling his dr this morning.
At this rate he's going to be out of school all week. *sigh*
My poor girl had a meltdown last night about how she doesn't want to spend the weekend with her dad and just wants to be with me. She misses our house and all of us living together. I feel like I have failed her and I don't know how to help her.

I'm sorry @sameoldstory, that sucks so much. I'm sure this feels like a low point, but hopefully it's just the turning point where things start improving for you from here on out.
I'm so tired. I have a cold again, and I'm all stuffed up and coughing but negative for all the nasty crap going around so I feel like a baby for not being able to function normally. But dd is also really struggling with anxiety at night again (she had had a period of improvement, but lately it has gotten bad again and this week in particular has been really bad). I was up with her till 11 last night and she kept saying how bad she felt because she knew I didn't feel well and had wanted to go to bed early and she just wanted to sleep but she couldn't. Luckily she has a therapy appointment today so I hope it helps, but I also hope dh is home in time to take her so I don't have to leave the house tonight.
I love my WFH days - especially when it's cold out. I'm in my comfy chair with my cozy blanket and pretty soon I'm going to get some soup going for dinner.
We're filling a position on campus (not my dept) and I'm really excited about the 2 candidates - it's one of those rare instances when either choice would be a win, I know them both and would love to have them as a colleague! Fingers crossed everything falls in to place for it!
