It's only Tuesday. Blah.

Where is everybody?  Is everyone else as tired as I am?

  • I am! I am! I couldn't get comfortable for the life of me last night so I'm exhausted!

  • I've been exhausted for as long as I can remember.  Which is ridiculous because I work one day a week.  I'm just sick of doing yard work and house work.  My allergies have been killing me lately too so that's not helping with making me feel tired and out of it.

    I am waiting for the plumber to come because I found a water mark on the ceiling and I think our upstairs bathtub drain has a leak.  It hasn't been used in 2 months since my parents were here but I just noticed the mark recently because I don't often stare at the ceiling.  They told me they would be here between 9 and 1, so now it's just a waiting game.

    I made the mistake of letting Wilson sleep in my bed last night.  He smooshes himself between me and the body pillow and cuddles so closely I end up on the edge of the bed.  If my biggest complaint is that my dog loves me, I shouldn't be such a crabass, but gosh, I learned my lesson.  He's back to the floor tonight.

    Oh nooooo Sad  Fingers crossed it's nothing super costly.

  • Good morning! I'm groggy this morning but good overall. Working today but I get to wear jeans which is cool and we are basically playing catch up and clean today because we have no doctor and no patients. YAY!

    Going to my friend N's tonight to take over some baby stuff I have been working on and okay some fabric choices with her for a few other things I'm making. Then I'm coming home to work on a tie blanket and hopefully cut out the material for a car seat cover and for a nursing cover. I better get busy C will be here in 7 weeks!

  • I'm here.  I'm also dragging.  It was really stuffy in the house last night and I was tossing and turning a lot and work is so tedious that I keep flipping back to realtor.com and looking at houses in SC.

    The weather is gorgeous today so after I pick Sophia up from the sitter's we're going to go back to the park and I'm going to start C25K.  I'm scurd but I need to start some type of routine to maintain my weight as I start to wean her.

    Thanks!  We have a warranty that the seller bought for us in closing, so we only have to pay $60 for the service call and the rest of the work is covered.  But it says right on the warranty site that second hand damage isn't covered, so I'm hoping there isn't a ton of water damage that we need to do anything in the floor.  It would be fantastic if we could just paint of the spot on the ceiling and call it a day.

  • I'm dragging this morning. 

    I forget if I told y'all, but I was voted FRG vice-president! This morning I went to my first board meeting (aka going to breakfast and chatting about nothing FRG related for like 1.5 hours).

    Now I have to get ready for work and I reaaaaaaaaally don't want to go :(

  • Morning! I just finished my lunch break and I'm about to go finish my shift. This job is not proving to help my coffee habit. Must. Drink. Water.

  • Maurice the handyman will be here shortly to work on some things on the house. This is why I love rentals. I don't pay a dime to have someone else come fix things! :)

    I'm currently getting cereal that's been dropped on the floor shoved in my mouth. Yum.

    I have a bunch of things I need to return to TJ Maxx and Target so I'll be doing that today. Gone are the days of easily trying stuff on in a fitting room while out shopping. Le sigh.

  • That's wonderful, Mary!

  • Yep, dragging too. This is my last week of classes for this semester (and then I get two weeks off before the summer semester starts!) which means a ton of work for my final projects. I need to be doing that, and cleaning right now, but instead I'm on here, and Facebook, and Pinterest.

    I need to get motivated.

    Wow! I don't intend this in a mean way, but you've come a long way in FRG land in a short period of time. I recently started as treasurer of mine and at first I wasn't that jazzed about it but I think that it's actually going to be fun.

    Also, that's how our board meetings are as well. Two hours long with only 15 minutes of content.

  • Surprisingly I am good. I had a great breakfast and coffee, now drinking tea waiting for class to start. I don't know how long this peace will last, this has proven to be a crazy week.

    I got my presentation poster done, though, thank God. Then I have a ton of reading. I just got off the phone with my Great Aunt and we are going into PA on Sunday to see her. I am really excited. She is a rock star. I live so close, I should really go see her more. 

    Other than that, just the normal end of semester stress that I hate.

  • Yep!  I stayed up way too late last night reading Redeeming Love.  Someone recommended it to me and I was skeptical, but  its amazing.

  • The closer HC gets, the slower time passes for me. After tomorrow morning's start of legit and official 0630 workouts twice weekly , I think I'm going to be so tired that time will start passing super quickly.

     

    ETA: Go Mary! I thought you were hating the FRG! Here's your chance to revolutionize from the inside out!  

    I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.

    I have had that book sitting on my shelf for almost 3 years now. Yet I always get like 3 pages in and fall asleep.  I really should make an effort to read it.

  • I woke up absolutely exhauseted this morning.  I have no idea why. 

    I had to take our foster dog to be fixed this morning.  My 4yr old son freaked out when he found out what was happening.  He dove on top of the dog and would not let go of him.  "No, Mommy!  Please!  Don't let them cut his balls off!"

    I really did try not to giggle, but couldn't help myself.

  • I had a customer try and sell me on couple retreats the base offers. I know all about them from here and my old counselor. I let him go on about it because I was having a hard time interrupting him. Finally he stops and like an *** that I am I blurt out "my divorce will be finalized next month". And without missing a beat he goes "well if you get married again, you should totally go!" Omg. I wanted to bang my head on the counter until I was numb.

  • Tx- I can so see a small child doing that. I would have laughed too. Our day started off ok as always me trying to sneak a few extra minutes of sleep. I slept too long and missed our window of time to get P's hair cut so I did it myself and he looked like he was attacked by a weed wacker so I decided to shave off that part. He now looks like Larry of the Three Stooges. Yeppers I am sure he will get made fun on now :D. ETA I can't think and spell at the same time

    The prologue is pretty dull.  Once you get into it yanks you in though.  I have never cried so much reading a book.

  • I skipped going to the Y yesterday and today and am very angry at myself.  I am also obsessing over what I'm going to wear Saturday to the Jon Jones fight.  

    Mary, nice new sn.  But I still have no idea who anyone else is anymore.  So I feel like ML is more my homeboard now.  :/ 

    Shot first, questions later.

    DH tries to get me to cut his hair all the time, but I refuse.  I cut my dog's hair all the time and sometimes she has bald spots (oops!), so I know I'd definitely mess his hair up.  I think he wants to go bald and that is why he keeps asking me...but I think he'd look horrible bald, so I just keep saying no.  Haha.

  • I signed up for a new gym this morning. I'm really excited because it's really nice compared to the other gyms in town and it's cheaper. I had an interview for another respiratory job today. The MN job dust must be on some performance enhancing drugs or something. I really hope I get this one too since they're both as needed positions and together they may add up to full time hours.
