Hump Day Confessions
I have fifteen things on my to-do list that HAVE to be done before 5pm tomorrow and I have not made plans to do any of them.
I'm a little bit of a zombie today - I realized last night that I taught three yoga classes in 24 hours (super unusual) and I didn't shower until after the third one. Gross.
I am eating cookies for breakfast.
Add yours...

Re: Hump Day Confessions
I skipped my work out this morning because I forgot it was a weights day and it was too cold to run. So now I have to do it after work and the fact that it's Wednesday and not Thrusday started me off on a bad leg.
My grandfather died last night and it was so long in coming that I feel like I should be a lot more upset. I cried when my mom told me, but I don't need to leave work or anything. I feel like a really bad grand daughter right now.
My fi was away for the past 2 days and he is on his way home right now despite me trying to convince him to stay another day. I really just dont want him to come home because i have enjoyed being a lone for the last 2 days. He NEVER goes out of town so it has been heavenly.
I made banana cream pudding for dessert on Sunday, there is about 1 serving left because I have been sticking my spoon in and taking a bite or two so it is almost all gone. No wonder i am the size of a house.
Aw, Fein, I'm sorry. Don't guilt yourself over not being upset enough.
I also skipped working out this morning because my ass is so f?cking sore from working out on Monday. Apparently I was pumping so much iron that I damaged my rear.
Sorry about your grandfather Fein. PPD - I totally get where you are coming from - FI is headed to NY to visit his family next month for 5 days. I can't even wait to have the place to myself for that long.
I am going to dinner w/ that friend I had a big fight with about month ago tomorrow night. I'm not really looking forward to it because it seems like nothing has changed. I fear that I will have to say the same things, probably upset her again and probably end the friendship for good. I don't know why I just didn't let it go when I had the chance. I'd like to hear what she has to say, but I'm afraid that she hasn't reflected at all on what was said based on the things she has said to me so far.
The thing that is a huge bummer is that I was initially friends with her DH, who I went to school with and I really do enjoy his company. I hate to lose him as a friend (we have been friends for almost 10 years), but I don't want to continue to subject myself to relationship I have w/ his wife.
I am so sorry for the loss of your Grandfather. You are not a bad granddaughter. (((hugs))) Grief is different for everyone and you loved him.
I'm sorry fein ::hug:: Please don't feel guilty, how you feel is natural given the circumstances.
I have been feeling very unattractive lately. I'm in some kind of "no self esteem" funk. It's making me very... paranoid? Jealous? I'm hoping the hair cut this week will help.
I haven't left the house since Monday, and thus I have not felt the need to wear a bra for the past couple of days. Or wash my hair.
I ate a Cadbury cream egg and an orange for breakfast. I figure they cancel each other out.
Now that I'm not working in an office 3 days out of the week, I'm always feeling panicky like I'm missing something or like I'm the weak leak now. This isn't my first foray into the telecommuting world, but I'm not adjusting very well this time. I hate feeling like other people look at me like I'm a slacker.
My cervix is still healing. By the time it's done, my period will be here. I miss sex.
Do it in the shower.
My confession is that I bite my nails and, sometimes, I chew on the nail for a few minutes after I've bitten it off. Gross!
Thanks guys. He was on oxygen for close to a decade, had rapidly worsening dementia and COPD and CHF. So the fact that he fell asleep is almost a relief. It was hard for him for a number of years.
Smock, one time I pulled a muscle in my butt/thigh doing shoulder presses. I have no idea how it happened, but you're not alone.
Bowies, I envy your work schedule, but not your cervix. I second doing it in the shower.
I cried about having to go to work this morning. (What else is new?)
Mr. Bang and I are planning to go camping on my birthday weekend. This will be my first time having sex in a tent!
Sorry about your grandfather fein. I felt the same way though so don't feel like you are being a bad granddaughter.
I'm trying to find a place to buy my car because we owe money on it and don't want to buy a new one. I found a place doing a special that they will give you kbb trade in value. There are 2 in the state. I ruled out one because my ex works and I'm not going there unless I look completely hot, which I totally don't right now. Yes, I am shallow.
My boobs have gotten embarassingly large. I couldn't button my trench coat this morning. H could not be happier, he calls them super boobs, but this is causing a wardrobe challenge earlier than I expected.
I have been slacking at work all week. Half the office is on vacation and it's super quiet here. I plan on keeping this up the next few days, stretching out my tasks as long as possible.
I have a couple of papers to write for school, and I havent started them. I have a test thats coming up on Monday, and I havent even opened the textbook. I have a 4.0 and this semester, I've been a lazy baastid. I should be more ashamed, and Im not. Not sure why.
I also have randomly been taking bites of things out of the fridge, grazing like an animal. A pepadew, a piece of cheese, a black and white cookie, a pickle, a handful of raisin bran! OMG, somebody stop me.
I'm sorry fein.
My random is that I hurt my shoulder moving boxes in the garage and everyone in the house is sprinting into high gear to do everything I do. I had a huge grin on my face this morning when dh said, "It takes 4 of us all day and evening to do what mom does by herself. We suck."
I'm not going to give 2 shiits if plates are put in the wrong cabinet and shoes lose their partner for the next week. This is me ---------> not caring.
Fein - You are not a bad grand-daughter. I did not cry much when my grandma died last year and hers was completely unexpected. It just means you are at peace with it.
I barely post on my BMB on TB because I feel I have so little in common with them anymore aside from a baby born in Aug. Single Parents is only slightly better (I have a decent relationship witth XH and we co-parent well). So TN is my new hangout.
I know I haven't pulled anything. There's more to this story.
So I was about to do a bunch of sets of Romanian deadlifts (I'm on stage 7 of New Rules of Lifting for Women), but I didn't feel like swapping out the plates that were already on the barbell because I'm lazy. As a result I lifted heavier weights because of laziness. Stupid, I know. And now my butt muscles hate me.
I am sorry you hurt your shoulder, but this has to be making you feel all kinds of awesome!
Fein, don't make yourself feel guilty over sadness you don't have. However you're feeling now is exactly how you're supposed to be feeling - just do what's right for you and don't worry about how you think you "should" feel. (((hugs)))
blah!
I know I did, I was just starting to get over the guilty feelings of making that decision, especially because he is doing well in the environment he is in right now.
I don't get the judgment when she was unable to offer us any useful help/advice for our situation anyways. Blah.
Must have been some large "iron" that you were pumping.
Fein- I feel the same way about my grandmother and she hasn't even died yet. The life she lives is no life.
DL- Why are you FB friends with this person? You don't need that in your life.
I don't take care of myself very well and I'm having a difficult time changing that.
eta- I forgot to share my special breakfast this morning- 3 spoonfuls of pb sprinkled with chocolate chips.
Sorry, DL
Try not to internalize what she's saying. You know you did the right thing, and that she was no help to you.
I skip showering some days based on how my bedhead looks. Hair looks fine today, so no shower this morning.
The boss will be gone Thurs, Fri and Mon, and I plan on slacking off as much as possible.
Thanks guys. Muddled, I am not friends w/ her any longer. I had forgotten that we became friends while she was trying to help me about a year ago.
Today I'm thisclose to putting an ad on Craigslist to sell our puppy. FI and I keep threatening him that we are going to put him up for sale.
We love him and would never do that, but saying it once in a while makes us feel better.
I will never, ever start out with the puppy stage again. I've lived with puppies and helped train them, but this is the first one that's actually mine. I don't recall ever having a puppy that barked, cried, bit and crapped this much.
A confession that is a spin-off of my first one: I am eating cookies for lunch. I have consumed nothing today but two cups of coffee, three gingersnaps, five graham cracker squares, and two chocolate covered butter cookies.
ETA: make that six graham crackers.
I have four loads of laundry to do before 5 and haven't started any of it yet.
I am eating Babybel gouda cheese like it's my job. I am suppose to limit my intake of cow dairy because of a mild lactose intolerance. I am already feeling not so good because of the 3 I have eaten in the past 24 hours but am still considering eating #4.
I forgot what day of the week it is, again.
My campaign to reduce swearing and profanity before the baby arrives isn't going well. Despite initial early improvements, I have found myself making the "jerk off" gesture at people in situations where I would have formerly called them "@sshat" or "f*cking moron." I don't think my kid learning to make that gesture is much of an improvement over my kid using the word "sh*t." There was a time when I almost never used profanity and considered it crass and vulgar...what the hell happened to make it so hard to get back to that?!?
Maybe you should have a conversation with him about it. He might be thinking the same thing.
Good point, Mamasaurus. I'm planning on broaching that conversation this weekend. I'm not 100% sure it's what I want either, but it doesn't hurt to put it out there and discuss it.
