    So I'm sitting here, on a Saturday night, looking for jobs and emailing recruiters.  How lame does that make me?
    Not lame at all!

    For the fist time in over a year we actually went out past 8pm on a Sat night. 

    Look at you!  I was at the point of wanting to go out, but not feeling up to it.  So I stayed on the sofa watching Storage Wars and and looking for jobs.  Haha!

    Lol, holiday work party..it was interesting. Any good jobs out there in D?

    Not too many good jobs unfortunately.  There's one with the Red Cross that I'm interested in, but I haven't seen too much else.  I'll keep looking though.  I've ready to be with my man!

    Awe, well maybe he'll let you squat in his basement for a while...lol.

    I'm not going to say I haven't considered that!  Or joked about it with him.  But my mom threatened me if I did that.  The rest of my family would probably flip out too.  A few more months of this and I might not care though!

    You're an Adult! Where does your mom live?

    I know, but I don't want to start family drama any more than I have to.  She live in AL, but my dad and brother are here, and she wants me to stay close to them.

    Ahh, makes sense.
  • Well, I've spent entirely too much of a Saturday night on this laptop.  I think I'm going to shut it down and try to get some sleep.  Hopefully I won't cough as much tonight as last night!  I didn't quite as much today, so I'm hoping that if I stack my odds with a tylenol pm, I should be good!  G'night!

  • We bought our nursery furniture today...  Went to Baby's 1st on 45.  As we were walking through one last time mom pointed out a set we had walked past 10 times.  Turns out the set was on sale for $999, and we talked them down another $100 because it was the floor model.  We got the crib, chest (that will double as the changer), and 5 drawer dresser.  http://www.kids-n-cribs.com/simmons-baby-furniture/horizon

    While on the way home from dinner, I cracked the back window in Mom's MDX...and then the window broke.  And after we left my parents their 34 yr old fridge left...I feel terribly guilty (but I love my furniture).

    Yay for baby furniture!  It's cute!!  And what a great deal you got!!

    I have to ask...how did the back window crack??

  • So I'm feeling better and worse at the same time today.  Sinuses feel a little better, and a little less congested.  Chest has lots of pressure and I'm coughing more.  Does that mean it's working it's way out??  I've taken 1/2 of my antibiotics so far.  Am I just impatient?

    Sounds like your almost there.  Are you taking the mucinex?

    I rolled it down a crack, and then rolled it back up.  All of a sudden we hear this POP! and the window just went down...I was NOT touching anything.  Now it won't go back up. 

    And I meant to say "after we left, my parents 34 year old fridge BROKE".  She's excited about a new fridge now.

    You'll be there soon.  My cough isn't even gone yet and I'm still congested, but your antibiotics are probably helping speed things along.

    Ahhhh!  I see.  I read it wrong the first time...like it cracked like a rock on the windshield crack.  I wouldn't feel too bad about that then...doesn't sound like anything you did, or could have prevented.  Still stinks though.

    The doctor didn't tell me to keep taking it, so I stopped.  I wasn't sure how it would react with the antibiotics.  I think I'm going to talk to a pharmacist at Walgreens today and see if I should start the mucinex again, or get back on my allergy meds.  I just always worry about taking too much medicine.

    The clinic just called me to check up on me!  She told me to start the mucinex again, and avoid the allergy meds.  So hopefully in a couple of days I can shake this!!

  • My G is so wonderful.  I don't know how he puts up with this funk that I'm in, but he does.  And he's sweet about it.  When I'm freaking out, he is calm as anything.  Love this man.

    He sounds like mister wonderful.

    How was everyone's weekend??

    Mine was ok.  Tried to take it easy most of the time and rest so I can kick this crud that I've had.  Feeling a little better today!  Now I'm sitting at work trying to figure out what to get G for Christmas!

    How was yours?

    I'm glad he's so amazing!  :) Was he able to help you feel a little better about the D situation?

    I spent yesterday watching everything on DVR, and sleeping. I did make ham & bean soup though!

    A little bit.  I'm still having a hard time with it, because I was so excited to be up there.  But he calmed me down a little, and told me that he isn't going anywhere, and that we'll find a way to make it work and to get me up there.

    I've started to set a timeline in my head.  I'm still not 100% rational (still all over the place emotional) but I'm thinking that one way or another, I want to be up there by my 30th.  That gives me 10 months.  I think that's doable.  Hopefully I can find a job by then, but if not, at least my car will be 1 month from being paid off if I do something stupid and just quit my job and move!

    Yuck!  Can you ask them to turn down the heat?  Unfortunately, we can't here.  We have to call the AC company and have them change it, and it takes them HOURS.
