Problems that I am having today
All minor, thank goodness.
1. I can't get warm. I am shivering and there seems to be nothing I can do about it. I think my thermostat is lying to me.
2. I have to go to the post office, which is something that I always dread. Please let it be one of those rare rare days where there are only 5 people ahead of me in line.
3. My lips are so chapped that they burn.
4. Does anyone know where I hid my husband's Valentine's Day card? Oops.
What's bugging you today?
I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns
Re: Problems that I am having today
1) my assholo cat
2)the nest being slow
3) i have to go to class this afternoon and last week i spent 30 minutes looking for a parking spot in 5 different lots semi close to my building so i am hoping this week doesnt repeat
4)it is cold in my apt but i cant get the temp right, one room will be freezing while the other is a hot sauna.
5)my freakish parents.
eta:
6)these stupid nest censors
Is it *** cat week or something? I swear to god I'm going to Fedex mine back to XH if he doesn't stop shiiting on the floor.
Also, I think I burned a hole in my tongue eating too many conversation hearts.
1) The people I work with can't follow instructions.
2) It's freezing cold in my office and smells bad because of whatever someone in one of the other offices microwaved for lunch (I can smell it over my feta, it's strong.).
3) My sore throat is back. I think it's because I'm not sleeping well from the work stress.
4) I have Physical Therapy tonight and then 3 more times. I really just want it to be over so I can run again and not feel like I'm going against doctor's orders or something.
5) I had a great weekend and it's over.
1. The people who commandeer the conference table for lunchtime social hour. We work in an open floorplan, so no walls. They are loud and they block access to the fridge and microwave.
2. The conference I'll be at over the next few days - not only do I have to be up at the ass-crack of dawn, but I get to stay late and take minutes each day too. Our client poo-pooed having a professional facilitator, so it's going to be an unmitigated disaster. Also: No Nest on those days.
3. I'm catching all kinds of errors that my co-worker made. He's out sick so I can't yell at him.
4. It's Monday.
My skin hurts.
And the hypochondriac in me is wondering if there's something seriously wrong. It feels like I have a full body sunburn, but don't have a mark on me. It's very irritating.
1. Im with you on the cold, Muddled. Today I have the thermostat on 73, and Im still chilly. I dont get it.
2. I have a HUUUGE Chem exam today and I was supposed to be studying for it, I never did. And I will totally fail and not care because he tosses your lowest test grade. And so, Im allowing myself to be lazy, which is not like me because Im TOTALLY Type A - I get all A's in my classes and generally obsess about my grades. I think it just hints to the fact that I might be feeling burned out right now.
3. I have to start cooking dinner in a little bit, and I really dont feel like it.
4. I just want to do nothing all day.
Cooking dinner? you know it's only like 1:30, right?
LMAO! Yes, I do realize that... But in my own defense:
*When I cook, its never a fast meal. Takes a couple of hours.
*DH comes home at 4:00pm from work, tends to like to eat at like 5:30.
*I leave for class at 4:45, so I have to get it done early.
1. I got my hair cut on Friday afternoon - I wanted to cut it a little shorter and was all excited. But I got soccer mom hair instead, and there's not a lot I can do to change it. So I'm agonizing if it's even worth it to go back down there and see if they can remedy the cut at all. I'm really bummed.
2. It's Monday. ONLY MONDAY.
3. I gained .2 pounds last week. It's barely anything, but I should be losing at least 2 pounds each week, so I know I really didn't do well. It really bothers me.
I am feeling very stuffy and sneezy the last week. Which is odd because my allergies tend to be seasonal and winter is the one season I'm usually not affected. I don't feel like it's a cold.
I've been having weird/scary dreams lately. One was wedding related and the other had to do with spiders. I usually don't remember my dreams, so it seems strange to vividly remember 2 dreams in the past week.
2.) DD is going through the four month wakeful. Its cute that she wants to cuddle and babble at 4 in the morning, but I got so spoiled with her STTN since 6 weeks old. Its hard to go back to getting up in the middle of the night
3.) My H is going on business next week and its the first time he will be gone since DD was born. I'm a little anxious about that.
I finally got up the nerve to call the counselor I saw about a year or so ago for something that's been bugging me recently. (I've been thinking about calling for a couple weeks. Last time, it took months. I guess I'm getting better. Ha!) I asked if she still practiced there (she does) and then said I wanted to make an appointment. The receptionist said something about her maybe not being able to see me again, something about scheduling...I didn't quite get it. Isn't that the point of making an appointment?
I liked her and felt really comfortable with her. I don't really want to see someone else; I'd like to see her. Dammit.
Oh, and being friends with your project manager is sometimes a pain in the azz.
I've got more.
Getting locked in my building at the end of the day. I was sitting there on the phone with the head civilian when the lights went out. At 4:45. Yep, the government workers cleared out early while I'm on the phone with their boss's boss. He had to go find security to let me out. Someone is getting in trouble tomorrow. I'm disappointed I won't be there to see it.
After all that, I got to my car and found a parking ticket on the windshield. FML.
