    I didn't get to stop and get coffee this morning. I thought I left myself enough time but I ran out and couldn't stop for a fun coffee. Now I am stuck making a boring cup at work.

  • @islandmonkey8‌ - My job depends a lot on the courts too and I totally forgot they were closed today. So now I have an office full of people with limited stuff to do. I'm annoyed.

    AFM - I actually was in a decent mood this morning and then one of my employees went over my head to my boss for no reason. Over something stupid. And she's supposed to discuss these things with me if she does them, but instead I get to overhear her telling her cubicle neighbor. She's been going over my head a lot lately and it's really starting to irk me.

    Oh, and (TMI) my nipples have been sore/tender for almost a week. I have hopes that this just means my body actually worked like it was supposed to and ovulated (it's hard to tell with Mirena since I haven't had a period because of it since December 2013)...but will be testing tonight just to make sure.

    DH is annoyed because I keep telling him not to touch. I'm annoyed that he's annoyed.

    Popping by with a definite FWP moan. :) As H left for work this morning, he told me that he was thinking of WFH today, but his plant manager called out, so he had to go in.

    So now I'm all bummed that he's not here, while I wouldn't have ever expected him to be home if he hadn't said anything!

  • I'm so late... :( Mondays this month suck. To make matter's worse, I only got about 4 hours of sleep last night. Then, had to get up at 4AM, hit the road for 2 hours for work, and only ended up seeing 2 (TWO) kids today (had 4 scheduled, but usually see at least 6). Ordinarily, I would love heading out of work early, but considering that I was just going to a hotel instead of home, I was not amused. Oh well... At least I'm past the half-way mark. Less than 2 weeks to go!
