FRIDAY CONFESSIONS
I wasn't sure if people would "get" the first picture, and I'm totally cracking up over it, so I included a second pic too.
75 Books in 2015?

I "needed" an audiobook for work today. On 5 minutes notice, the only book that I recognized and was available, was 50SoG. I downloaded it.

My confession- We have intake appts with our new dr today. I wish mh wasn't coming for his at the same time. If the dr suggests something stupid for A (like starting solids now @ 4 mo or supplementing with formula, etc) it will be harder to explain why I don't want to....I should say if the dr has good reasons for suppementing formula I will I would rather not if I can avoid it is all.

I have a coworker with more severe OCD than mine. I feel like a horrible person for judging her, but I want to throat punch her for some of the things she does.
She rearranges the dishwasher if someone puts a dish in a spot she doesn't like. I get it. But, ewwww, you are touching dirty dishes from other people. I've never once seen her wash her hands after she rearranged the dishes. My desk is 10 feet from the kitchen.

I'm also convinced that everyone has some level of OCD, even if it's small enough that you don't think of it as an OCD thing. Just hang-ups. I think everyone has certain hang-ups or rituals that they do subconsciously and experience a level of discomfort f they don't.

I do this too with certain items. He's helped me fill the dishwasher before, he's emptied and seen where things go-how hard is it to remember where the bowls go? They have the slots on the top rack for a reason.

Also, I'm the one who apparently can't load the dishwasher right. J had a special session with me just the other day about the proper way to load the dishwasher. I only half listened. Whatevs, my misaligned dishes still come out clean.

It's not even the alignment, My OCD just prefers things to be Just So. I did have a lesson with DH about how I like the silverware basket sorted. I explained my justification and reasoning for sorting it the way I do in hopes that he would agree and just do it. The silverware sorting is not going to work if we each have a different method of sorting it!

My H gives me dishwasher loading lessons, too! I refuse to listen. I like my way of doing things and hey, if he wants to move them its on him.
One of my other coworkers and I totally mess with the OCD lady and put dishes in places we know will annoy her. She will go as far as to flip the silverware over that she doesn't think is the proper direction. Also, circular plates have to go with circular plates and square plates with square plate. It makes me sad. But, so grossed out.
Love him and it's sweet, but I don't really think I'm going to drink it because I had such a negative reaction the past few times I've had alcohol. Granted, it was likely from the gluten, but now I have a negative association with it.

Another confession, completely unrelated: I'm looking forward to my gyn appointment this afternoon, because it means I get to leave work early and not come back. Yup, a gyn appointment is better than being at work.

My father's stepfather passed away yesterday and I literally could care less. My dad is the only one of six from a different father. When my dad tried to introduce me to him once when I was seven (at that point my grandmother and him were estranged) he literally pushed me away and said "She's not my Granddaughter and you're not my son." He was also just all around a terrible person to my immediate family.
Everyone on FB that I'm related to is talking about how sad they are and how he was so great to them. I've hid every one of those posts and unfriended some. I know it's not their fault for his actions but it's hard disassociating it all.
