DH had his first colonoscopy yesterday and boy the anesthesia did a number on him. He says he remembers being wheeled to the exam room and then nothing until he awoke from a 3 hour nap at home. He was loopy when he first came to in recovery, but then started making more sense and then we had a conversation where he seemed himself and was making logical statements and nope, doesn't remember it at all.
I also took DS1 to get his learner's permit after track last night. I let him drive part of the way home and holy heck on the hard stops and tight turns kid!

I have to see exH this weekend. I haven't seen him since he was kicked out of the house back in October other than two times recently where I saw him driving, but I don't think he saw me. Our daughters are still friends and are part of a larger group getting Prom pictures this weekend so he'll be there. His first wife and I are planning to hang out together to make things as awkward for him as possible LOL

I ordered a birthday gift for a friend (lol) on Etsy and made sure with the seller that it would get here by today. I ordered on Tuesday of last week and she said that she would customize the item and send it out the next day, but did encourage me to upgrade to Priority mail, which I did. No shipping notification all weekend and I kept checking just in case something got updated that I missed. It was still saying "USPS waiting for shipment" as of Sunday night. On Monday I reached back out to the seller and she said that she never flagged the item as priority and that it would not be getting to me on time. In fact, it won't get to me until Friday now. She was very sorry and offered to refund me for the entire thing AND give me a credit to her store. I know she is trying to make it right which I appreciate, but now I feel bad. On one hand, I did need the item by today because I am going to friend's birthday dinner tonight and it's part of her gift. On the other hand, it's not THAT big of a deal that she get it tonight, I can always drop it off to her when I get it. On the OTHER hand, I did let the seller know I needed it by today and she confirmed that she could get it to me in time. So, I'm torn between accepting her offer or just letting it go.
Last week we were in St. Louis and my son lived his entire best life but now cannot imagine a day where he doesn't get 10 hours of fun. 🙃
We flew out of LaGuardia last week and the glow-up of the century has happened there. It's hardly recognizable and the bathrooms aren't scary anymore.
The stupid Knicks made it to the playoffs and their games have been threatening a Billy Joel concert at MSG I'm supposed to go to next week. The schedule was released and I think they're traveling that day so the concert should happen! I can't wait. The concert is on my birthday and the last time I went we got moved to front row-- I hoping for some birthday luck, lol.
There's also a gallery exhibition on the LES by my favorite artist in NYC that closes on the 27th, so I'm going to get to see that too.

I’m 38 today and my boss brought me a beautiful annual plant (we both like to garden).
She said, “I hate spending money on annuals because they die, so it felt like a great birthday splurge to do it for you!” It’s a lovely purple color - my fav. She’s so sweet. I was thinking about it on my way into work today when I passed by where I would turn to go to my old, abusive, toxic job. I really lucked out coming into this position with people who clearly care about me and my well-being.
My brother also sent me the Simpsons, “You’re the birthday boy or girl!” song, so my day is complete! 🤣
I'm seeing the Stones in two weeks and I am just now allowing myself to become excited about it. Given their ages I was like 20/80 that it would actually happen (been cancelled twice already) but it's looking like this is really happening?! I even unpacked my shirt from their 1975 tour that I save for very special occasions lol.

Another one, sorry. I'm currently on hold with my doctors office. My pharmacy has been reaching out to them since last Thursday for authorization for my refill. Monday morning I took my last pill and the doctor still hadn't responded so I called them directly and they said they would send it over. Luckily the pharmacist was willing to give me three pills thinking that would be plenty, but here I am, 2 days later, and it still hasn't been sent. This is my Depression medication and if I run out the withdraw symptoms are pretty severe. I am not happy.

Can you physically go to your doctor's office and then hand deliver the prescription to the pharmacy? How frustrating.
I'm on work travel, but the home office is a mess. People are texting me trying to find other people because the Director is on travel too (different place) and people like to just take off, but not tell their entire division that they're out or put up an out office, cool, cool.
And the people doing damage control are getting pissed, rightfully so.
DH doesn't know what to do about the whole wedding fiasco and my opinion is, I DGAF what his Trumper aunt/uncle think.

I would like to sleep through the night. Every night between 9 and 10 I am just bone tired. I go to bed with no issues. And then I wake up at 3 or 4 and can’t fall back asleep. Which is why I’m exhausted. It ruins my whole day and I’m lethargic and low energy.
lavenderblue, oh i would be so upset! I hope you can get it filled ASAP. I went through something similar with a different med last year and it was so stressful.
I'm trying to figure out what to do with the kids this summer and I just can't decide. There is a camp 3 minutes from home that my 7 year old could go to. Or there's a camp 30 minutes away (that we've done every summer previously) that the 7 year old and the 11 year old could go to. I am so tempted by the short drive. But if my oldest sits at home all summer he will be on screens all day while I work. But he will also be one of the oldest at the camp if I take him.
ssmjlm - what is his hesitation? He doesn’t want to go. He’s not close to this person. An invitation is not a summons, RAVP no and be done with it lol
He has this idea that if he does "enough" that somehow he can be the respected son? So going would be the "good son" thing to do.
The irony is MIL is already complaining about travel, cost, etc. It's 8 months away!
It's just hard, I'm trying to support him as he continues to keep his boundaries he has put in place there, like when I asked about a family birthday for E, he was like "I don't really want to deal with my family." And I said whatever he wants.
I am so over Teams meetings. Five hours each day yesterday and this morning in supervisor training, and a four hour technical review yesterday afternoon. At least yesterday I got a ton of laundry done, and cleaned out my pantry this morning while listening.
Next week I'm OOT for a class, and I cannot wait. Lodging, meals, etc. all provided, excused from all other work responsibilities for the week, and a break from solo parenting. It's starting to feel like a vacation at an all-inclusive resort, except for that whole sitting in lectures from 7:30am-5pm every day.

I don't know how old you are, but this was a big peri-menopause symptom for me. I started taking CBD capsules.
I’m in Florida with DS2 (spring break - DS1 stayed home with DH due to track) hanging at my dad’s house. Tomorrow we take the train to Orlando and are doing universal for a few days. I really wish JK Rowling didn’t turn out to be such a terrible, problematic person so feel conflicted over going.

Quoting myself.
They finally sent it over. But this is such crap. This is the second time the doctors office has done this to me. Last time I didn't think to ask the pharmacist to spot me a few pills and I suffered for days. It was horrible. I actually want to get off of this medication, but not cold turkey, so I scheduled an appointment so that I can wean off, but they couldn't get me in until the end of May.
Day 4 of our vacation and the rain has finally stopped! Last night we ran into old friends who moved away last year. Such a small world. My kids are thrilled to see their old friends.
My normally curmudgeonly DD is living her best vacation life. She’s barely left the pool. I think she’s meant to be a Florida baby, not a Boston one (sorry kid) lol.

I'm pretty severely insomniac, plus I'm constantly having to switch from day to night. So I'm often lethargic.
The hobosexual I used to date but still shares a house (not bed) had the nerve to read to me signs of insulin resistance. He really got stuck on abdominal fat, absolutely insistent. I still wear clothes from 20 years ago, I'm fine despite some redistribution from being in my 40s. I'm still technically underweight although all deserve to not be harassed like that. It was just astonishing he wouldn't let go of those 2 points, "fat" and fatigue.
I’d accept both but in reality probably wouldn’t use the credit because I’d probably not want anything else from the store since it was a gift.
But it was her mistake and your communication was clear so no reason to turn it down. It was 100% an error on her part.
I checked out the other items she offers in her store and it's limited, but she has some cute earrings that I could get with the credit. I got my friend a personalized leather bookmark from her store. She does a lot of leather journals and such. Those are more expensive and she is giving me a $25 credit. I will take the credit and the refund, but I still feel bad lol. I know Etsy's policies are bad and people are out here just trying to sell their stuff.
