Morning MN

How is everyone this fine Tuesday morning?

Re: Morning MN

  • We were rudely awoken by a smoke detector screaming at 0630. It's hard wired so we can't swap the batteries. DH got it to shut up somehow but I put a call into maintenance anyway to have them check to make sure it won't happen again.  So I've put in a job application and got dinner in the crock pot. I'm trying to make DH's cousin's wife's(aka my friend N) famous chowder. She uses crawfish but I only had shrimp so I swapped it. I hope mine is half as good. Now I'm prepping stuff to make home made Chick-Fil-A bites for tomorrow.

    Tired. Is it bedtime yet?

    This. I just woke up and I want to go back to bed. I've been just downright exhausted lately. 

    I go in and meet with an academic advisor this morning. I still have no idea what I want to do.

  • Chowder sounds so good.

    Our sitter's son is still sick with vomiting and a fever so Sophia is staying home with me today while I work.  T stayed home with her yesterday.  I have an offer to go to the Phillies/Pirates exhibition game tonight but I think I'm going to pass.

    The phones at work haven't worked since Saturday so yesterday was an incredibly productive day and I'm hoping I can power through my work by noon.

  • I didn't sleep well last night so I'm exhausted but have to get up. That sucks about the smoke detector. I set off the ones here a few weeks ago and they're hard wired but fortunately there's a way to manhandle them off the wiring so they STFU. I'm pretty excited because tomorrow I'm job shadowing respiratory at the local hospital. It's obviously no where close to a job but after 2 years out of the game thanks to 29 Palms it will be something to, hopefully, encourage an RT dept to think I haven't lost it all. Oh, and I'm going to deliver my letter to my congressman this morning to see if he can help me with my state's incompetent medical board.

  • After five weeks in hotels, we get the keys to our house tomorrow!!! We need OUT of this place. We are all getting a bit stir crazy. I have a miserable headache. LO is crabby and moody. Ugh. It will be hard to leave the bubble of post, but it is time.

  • Good morning! I'm cleaning a bit and then I'm taking a practice AFOQT, hopefully I do well enough to go on to the real thing. Super nervous about the mechanical stuff, let's go ahead and say that my political science degree didn't really cover much of that... 
  • Feeling good today, got all of my to- dos done, so now I can finish DD's Easter basket and hopefully get some pics of her before Easter to send out.

    Sorry about the smoke detector :(

    Yay!

    I am exhausted today and feel like I have been for weeks now.  I feel very old today too.  I joined a coed softball team at my church here and we had a practice on Sunday, and now my body hurts horribly.  I work out somewhat and am in ok shape, but doing a sport always hits muscles I'm not used to and it kills.

  • Good Morning.  I will probably clean today.  I need to go return some blockbuster videos.

    Wait, you're going AF?

  • Good morning! I've been up since 5:45. Slept wonderfully and have been on my walk and therapy session with my good friend A. Right now I'm watching the news and cuddling with Simon.

    I've got to get my stuff caught up at work this morning. D is taking the next 3 days off so she said she would help me get as much together as we can so that I am not trying to do everything while the other A can't help me.

  • Add me to the exhausted train! I haven't slept good in weeks and don't really anticipate that changing until this new baby sleeps through the night. But I'm glad it's starting now so I can get used to it again.

    My cubicle buddy/bridesmaid comes back part time today and I've never been more happy to have a co-worker come back in my life as I am today. Also, my boss who's husband was just diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer last month is going to try to come in today too and that makes me really happy too! I love my boss and I've missed her so I'll be happy to have her back! This also means my work load will go back to normal and this makes me extremely happy.....so much so that if I could, I would drink tonight! :)

    Wedding planning is getting the best of me right now. I'm pretty much over it.

    And my sister had her baby on Thursday so I'm an auntie again!

    Have I mentioned that I'm exhausted?

    Also, this week is Spring Break for B and my xmil's friend was supposed to come into town so she didn't want B at all this week and my mom was going to be a wait and see thing since my sister was actually due today, so she was just going to hang out with A all week depending on what happened with my sister. My xmil informed me on Saturday that her friend isn't coming after all so she can take B on Wednesday. I told her no, we had it covered because I'm tired of having to rearrange the schedule to accommodate her when the custody agreement isn't even with her. So B spent yesterday and today with A and will go to my mom's tomorrow and Thursday and then we are going to go to the cabin on Thursday night and spend the weekend up there.

    Also, I'm exhausted! :)

  • S when I was in college and living in the dorms my first year the fire alarm in our building went off once and the ones in the surrounding buildings went off a few times. It was like 1 am when ours went off and we all come pouring out of the building. Of course the utility closet that housed all the compartments for the alarm where right outside our suite and all these people are *itching us out because it woke them up. Fun times let me tell you.

    Im going to give it a go and see what happens. It's always been something I wanted to do and so I'm just starting the process and seeing if it's even a possibility. C is getting out so it's "my turn" so to speak.

  • Thanks, BLT! GL to you in your job hunt, as well. It's tough out there!
  • Ugh, we are all sick. I think J & myself just have head colds but O has a nasty cough so I'm trying to get him an appt.

  • Doing well enough, on this fine tuesday...  Supper is planned out, I only have one errand to run after work, and things are work shouldn't be too stressful...

    I might even have time to knit tonight!  :)

  • The world is against me. 

    Planned on going to Ben & Jerry's to get free ice cream with a friend. Went to my car- flat tire. I have no clue how to change a flat. Call friend and cancel (her H has their car).

    Pulled my cheapy Target work pants that are like a month old out of the dryer and discover that the seam in the crotch region has come out. Pull out sewing machine that is threaded with white thread and fix it. Super noticeable. Pull out the bobbin winder since I don't have a black bobbin. The cord is missing. Call my mom for tutorial on how to wind a bobbin with the machine. Mess it up several times and have to unwind. Finally got the bobbin wound, but now I can't get it to thread correctly. Call my mom for a tutorial- no help. Watch a thousand youtube videos on how to do this- no help. 

    My "last resort" work pants are super short and I look really dumb in them. Also, I'm going to have to walk to work since H won't be home in time. 

    I'd love it if something would go right today.
