    Sorry you're feeling down. ((hugs))

    I'm at work too and I really don't want to be here.  For some reason, I just don't have the desire to do much of anything today even though I have a huge to-do list.  At least H and I were productive this weekend and installed a new front door, did some early spring cleaning and still had enough time to do some other fun things this weekend.

    How was your weekend?

  • My weekend was ok. Yesterday we went to my SIL's for the games. It was good to DRINK! lol. But I don't have much at work to do today because banks are closed and I'm pretty caught up.

    Your weekend was much more productive than mine was!

  • @islandmonkey8 - sorry today sucks for you ((hugs))

    I'm stuck at work and also sad because my parents were up for the weekend and since DH and my mom were both off today (dad is retired), I had to leave while everyone was sitting at the kitchen table in their PJs drinking coffee.  We had a great weekend, but I wish I had taken today off too; it's dead here!

  • I'm at work, too, although I chose to work today (I get to bank the holiday time for later).

    Nothing too exciting, other than the DC area's complete obsession with snow tomorrow.  One of the headlines I saw was "Most Snow In 3 Years!"  And yet, most people can't drive in the snow and expect to be able to go 60 mph on the highway and not slip and slide.  Which is why I may end up WFH tomorrow, just to avoid the crazies.  And...I love snow.  :)

    Sorry @Islandmonkey8 it's a rough mile marker.

    I'm working today too, DH is in and out of the office so he is half working half not.

    I am still recovering from an extremely bad night of drinking this weekend. Tonight I am hoping to get home, make a small dinner and watch a movie. I need some R & R...

    Oh I did finish a good book this weekend. If you are into Love stories and loved The Notebook, read Butterfly Weeds by Laura Miller.

  • I am working today.  Well I am at work.

    I really like some of the Julep colors this month, but decided to skip because I have Zoyas on the way and just don't need more polish.  I really liked the purples and the brownish color.

  • @islandmonkey8 I'm sorry for hitting the year mark, lots of hugs.

    I am home sick today. I woke up at 4 am and felt like I had beaten the back of my head against the wall and the pain was traveling from the back of my head to the front. I was also sweating like crazy! I drank some cold water in hopes to cool off and go back to sleep and ended up getting sick twice. Text DH (he works 3rd shift) and told him what happened and that I must have the flu going around. He came home with ginger ale and migraine meds. Made me take them and go back to sleep. Woke up around 11:30 and my head still hurts, but not as bad. I'm glad I took the day off because I can't deal with phones.

  • I'm at work, but I don't have a holiday so that is expected.  I'm trying to wrap up everything over the next three days so I can go on holidays without anything waiting for me when I come back.

    I'm off in about a half hour to do my (hopefully!) final round of bloodwork to confirm my betas are still at zero. Tonight I plan to fold a ton of laundry, maybe sew myself a quick dress, and watch the Bachelor.

    Hope your day picks up ladies, seems to be a rough Monday all around.

  • @islandmonkey8 - I'm sorry today is sucky. :(  *hugs*

    And all of you speaking of the flu, it's going around my work and now my realtor has it as well so house-hunting is on hold, just as we've found one we're both pretty in love with (in pictures at least...you never know what it will be like in person).

    In terms of my Monday, I WFH so I could take H to have 5 teeth pulled.  He actually did really well and has been sleeping pretty heavily most of the day.  I've managed to get two milkshakes in him (one with some protein powder to help his empty stomach), applesauce, jello mousse, a banana, and some soft french fries.  Overall, I think we're doing pretty well for the first time that he's been on the patient side of anything medical.  It's normally me.  Not looking forward to tomorrow though because there is a lady I want to kill at work, I have to give a written warning to someone about their lack of progress, and it's supposed to ice/snow tonight so my commute will suck.  Boo for a Tuesday being like a Monday.
  • Sorry about the year mark. :(
