SwimDeep , sure it's not just a mosquito bite? I got a couple over the weekend despite the cooler temps.
My kid wants a pricey squishmallow jewelry kit from costco, but if I combine a prime day deal and some charms, it's a good bit cheaper. I am unsure if she will truly care on Christmas morning though.
Didn't read all the replies, so sorry if this is a repeat. Did you see its on sale at costco right now for $30?
We had a long-range plan of turning our basement into a rental apartment. I have someone who would like to move in next spring. On the one hand, it was “this will be great in 10 years when I retire” On the other, we could do it now without much effort. The biggest drawback is H’s workshop and tool storage would move to the garage, and I’d lose my parking spot. But, I think we could take the rent check and fancy up the garage with cabinets and stuff, and eventually move my car back in. The two big things it needs (water heater moved and window turned to egress) are on our near term list anyway. So I actually called to set up estimates for that today.
I’m not sure if this is a good idea but yet, I love the idea.

Yeah, I saw, but I can get a smaller squishmallow kit off amazon and a generic kit and come out with more beads, but still some squish stuff. I just know she won't use a lot of the weird accessories in the costco one.
I had a nice 3-day weekend. I encouraged my family to visit & they did and it was great. Yesterday, after they left, we did painting and the rooms look great. Why did we wait so long? Haha
Back at works sucks. Not the job, just a report I have to do. I came to the office today and could not login to the network. This is very odd because this company functions really well. But it’s technology, so stuff happens, too. I still have PTSD from the shitty place I used to work and had to talk myself out of a (very) mild panic that I couldn’t login because I was fired and they forgot to tell me.
My mom has been nagging me that she wants to bring her friend down to my house for months. I love her friend, she's like an aunt really, but I also HATE having people at my house. Furthermore, the last time my mom came here she overstayed her welcome and it ended very badly, so I am not ready to have her back. I told her as much when she first brought it up, but she keeps nagging. I've stopped responding anytime she brings it up.
So last night her friend texts me that my mom is worried because I'm not responding. We talk a little and friend suggests that my mom probably doesn't realize she's nagging and I should be direct about it. Which I do and my mom doesn't believe her friend would ever give that advice and is pissed. This morning friend texts me that she and my mom talked, but friend didn't have the heart to tell her what she advised me to do. So here I am looking like an asshole all by myself when I at least thought I had some backup.
My coworker got a puppy and we have a situation where she can bring her to work, and I die at her absolute sweetness. Our older dog is 18 months old and my husband is absolutely going to divorce me if I try to advocate for a third but I really am like those women who always have baby fever. I love dogs of all ages but I think I may need to try to start a side gig as a puppy doula. I'll take them overnight while you sleep!
Not that it’s surprising but Amazon is being shady. Looking at my wishlist to see if anything is on sale. Almost everything says it’s a “Prime Big Deal” with a high markdown but everything is either the same price it was or minimally marked down when I added it months ago.
What's with putting on body lotion after you shower then what do you stand like this for 20 minutes to dry. Ain't nobody got time for that.
What type of lotion are you using that it takes 20 minutes to dry??
I'm exaggerating for effect but I don’t even want to stand there for 5. This will shock you all I'm sure but I have very little tolerance for most things.

I’m on a call that is talking about supporting women with our company. It’s rather amusing that one of the worst offenders of lack of equality is on the panel

I'm slightly panicked. There were 4 attemped break ins by armed men in my neighborhood last night. Thankfully none were successful, but I'm alone with DS most nights.
My neighborhood backs up to a nature trail so its easy access if someone wants to try to run. The police were quick to respond but then they hit the neighborhood by DS's school. I hate the world we live in.
@@@@@ TW I'm sorry, blondemoment123 . Since school started there's been three teenagers shot and killed within a few miles of my neighborhood and a double homocide in the street right behind us. It is really scary right now. Our neighborhood is typically really safe, we've been here for over 15 years. I don't know what's going on or what to do. David wakes up at 6am to run and it concerns me so much.

Try an in shower moisturizer. I like the Nivea one. I get it at Target.
Caution that it can make your shower/tub floor slick, so rinse it well afterwards. I don't want to held responsible for any shower slip and fall injuries.
A couple months ago, I set up a blood donation app't for tomorrow. It was timed to hit right after my half marathon (Sunday) and before I start ramping back up for my next race (a 15k in Nov). It was cancelled due to staff shortages. I am very bummed about this. I try really hard to balance my running and donating consistently, even though they're not highly compatible.
Now I need to try and find something for this week last minute, so I don't miss this window of opportunity.
I cut DD's hair on a whim last night after she showered. It looked even at the time and I am usually pretty good at this...
At pickup after school she said it was totally uneven. I straightened it out and it was definitely shorter on one side, tried to fix it and now it is just all around shorter than I wanted. Ugh! I put the scissors down before it got too bad but she might need to change her part or wear it half up for a while. Oops.

I had the same issue with the last Prime day. I ordered myself a new Kindle for "great deal". Ordered DH one a month later...and it was the same price as the Prime Day deal. Overall I paid about what I originally paid for 1 Kindle probably 10 years ago, but feel like I got duped.
Meanwhile they're trying to push me toward a video game as I'm shopping for DH's birthday.
I'm trying to line up my COVID booster, and having a lot of issues. My PCP's office says they don't carry them at all, and to call the pharmacy. Call CVS and try the website, and nothing will book me an apt. A nurse from my PCP's office called me back and gave me a tip on a branch a couple of towns over, but I have to call and speak to a real person, because the auto system just won't book me. I'd wait, but I want it in my system before vacation.
I'm going to quietly drop in here that I finally have the shop (mostly) updated. I still have some listings that I'm procrastinating on, and I need to take pictures of the new things to add. But, I did add shampoo & conditioner bars. So there's that. Website for a limited time: scuttlebuttsoap (dot) com
Also I was at a pride event this past Satuday and got a shout out from the drag queens at closing ceremonies, and it made my day, even if they were joking about ScuttleBUTT and a few of my soap names.

I took a mental health day today, I am physically and emotionally exhausted. I slept til 10 and still feel tired. I’m currently watching a movie with my dog in my lap. Hoping I feel recharged tomorrow.

Good for you for knowing you needed this and took the time.

I love the jokes about how old and crusty HRH Queen Dick I is because I remember seeing a pic she posted once of herself and she is fucking gorgeous, which makes the jokes extra funny.
