We're taking off for the IL's house tonight after work. I'm going to try to leave early-ish and hope no one notices.
One of my cats has been barfing up hairballs a lot more lately so I've put the task of brushing them daily on to the kids. Hopefully that helps. I'm tired of cleaning the damn carpet. WHY do they always go for the carpet instead of the tile?!
My theory is they're smart enough to know that vomiting on a hard surface will lead to splashback.

We have tentative plans for tomorrow with my bff and her family, so I have been cleaning and prepping food today. But my bff still isn't feeling great and told me it will be a last minute decision if she's up for stuff tomorrow. While I totally get that, and I also know that cleaning like company is coming is something that is good to do anyway, I'll be annoyed if I cleaned for nothing. Don't mind as much for the food since we'll eat that no matter what lol.
macmars45 - I've been on BP meds for years now. Good news is they are pretty benign, and any risks far outweigh the benefit. I take volsartan now, which is a combo med.
ETA: re depression meds, lexapro literally changed my life. I'm not saying I'm perfect, but I feel like *me* on it. It's been 24ish years.
My lexapro is my bff; it has been life changing! I was just lamenting about the arsenal of meds I take and I'm not even 40. That's all. Between epilepsy, anxiety, insomnia and now high BP I take multiple meds 3x/day.
PDQ
My H has only been on allergy meds seasonally so he's struggling more about meds.
I'm leaving for Chicago tomorrow! I haven't packed or planned anything yet really, which feels very weird to me. We're visiting family so it should be a relatively easy trip. H can get weird around his brother so I'm *really* hoping he holds it together this time. We haven't seen him in 5 years, which is nuts.
Why is work always insane the days right before a trip???! This was supposed to be a quiet week! I was hoping to log off at noon but I'm late and I'm annoyed. Almost done and then I need to start packing!
I'm doing nothing tonight other than taking a nap after work. I also have to water all the bushes/flowers by moving the sprinkler around a few times, which isn't hard. My plans for tomorrow went up in smoke like a firework, so I'll see what I can come up with.
I work in a clinic setting. We are closed Th and Fri this week for the holiday. Suddenly people are realizing that today is like a Friday and a bunch of 'OMG this needs to get done today' tasks.... only 3 more hours. only 3 more hours.... only 3 more hours.....
I took today off and, of course, woke up to a bunch of emergency issues so I ended up working for about 3 hours.
It is so hot. 110 is the high for today. This isn’t normal.
My bank had a ransomware attack and I haven’t had access to my money since Saturday. No direct deposit so I can’t pay rent or bills. This is so frustrating.
There are two Amazon warehouses within 2 hours of our beach town. My Amazon orders that were supposed to be delivered today started in Florida and Michigan respectively. If I pick my home address, they would come from the two warehouses.
Why hasn't anyone created a garanimals-esque mix and match clothing line for adults? There could be a workwear line and a casual line, all with tags telling the fashion-impaired what pieces will look good together.
jinkies how is your son feeling today? I hope he can go to camp. Doesn't he also have a shoulder issue too? Poor kiddo!
Thanks, he's still not 100%. He tried to go to work but only lasted half a day. He's in denial about potentially not going, so I told him that we wouldn't make the final decision until tomorrow night. And yes, he also needs shoulder surgery this fall. He is a mess! He took a power nap and some Tylenol and was better all afternoon so I'm hoping he's turned the corner. Fingers crossed for us!

I’ve always thought they think of it as indoor grass.
I set my portable a/c up in my bedroom this morning, closed the door, and didn't think about it until just now. Sometime in the day, the hose popped off the back, so all the hot air that should have been blowing out the window was just recycling around the room. It was 103° in there! My bureau and wood floors were warm to the touch ... it's going to take more than a bit to cool down enough to be livable.
