Guys, my assistant just told me they (her & her family) haven't bathed since before NYE because their hot water has been frozen & so they...just haven't bathed in a minimum of 4 days now. IDK exactly how long because she just said "since before NYE" I am like over here like 😨😨😨 Um. Did you tell them in the olden days people boiled water for bathing? Neat trick. Yea, she said oh yea they were going to do that with their DD tonight since school starts back tomorrow. No comment on doing it for herself, tho. They aren't super clean people anyways. She has terrible BO thats an issue I am trying to figure out how to address as nicely as possible. She just threw it out there so casually, like it was NBD

I don't think I could live in a murder house. I'd drive myself crazy. "was it here? Do you think it was here that it happened?" "did the murdered lady take a bath in this bathtub before she was murdered?" "Did she do the dishes here before she was murdered? She probably did the dishes and didn't even know it was the last time she would ever do dishes".

We are forecasted to have a "bomb cyclone" (winter hurricane) tomorrow. I am hoping for a snow day. I drove past the supermarket and it was sheer panic. Every gas station is 12+ cars deep. I feel like I'm watching that Jake Gylenhall movie about the end of the world.

I wrote yesterday about my small one who is SUPER ANGRY about teething. I think we finally turned some kind of corner because despite projectile vomiting a large percentage of his night time bottle, he slept through the night. I will clean up projectile vomit every day for a full night's sleep. I feel like a million bucks. Any new teeth yet? Mine *only* woke up 3 times last night instead of 6 so that’s something!

It's unexplainable. To be perfectly honest though I don't even care since he slept well and seems generally less mad.

I am struggling today. It’s my own fault. I’ve been staying up too late. I just want to sleep. On a completely random note, I need to buy leave-in conditioner. I am sure there is a thread somewhere but, because I am lazy and tired, anyone care to give me a rec?

My friend 40th bday trip which started out as a 2 weeker in either Iceland and somewhere else (b/c you can't do 2 weeks in Iceland) OR a trip to hike manchu piccu has now devolved into some lame 3 day bahamas trip b/c some of my friends are stupid cheap and terribly unadventurous. I tried to get the adventurous people to split off and do the big trip we talked about but there seems to be more appetite for going as a group of 8, even if it's lame-o.

No one should ever ask if someone is expecting, ever in life, in any circumstance. The end. Please tell this to my aunt, who asked me on Christmas Day.

I'm utterly worthless at work. I've done the bare minimum the past two days. To be fair, there's not much I can do. Everything that needs done to the system is all Sys Admin work that I cannot do.

I haven’t taken two weeks off since my honeymoon. No way I would do that for a friend trip, money or time off-wise. Maybe this is why I have so few IRL friends. I won’t go to their multiweek international birthday parties.

After a week of traveling, I get grumpy and want to sleep in my own bed. No thank you to a 2 week trip (plus an additional day or two of jetlag).

We are seeing a house tonight that looks like it could be a really perfect house/location/neighborhood/price... except we found out a husband murdered his wife in it 2 years ago. It caught me off guard at first when I was informed. I'd buy a house like this if the price was right. Burn some sage, you'll be fine.

I would also LOL DH out of existence if he came to me like, “hey, I’m spending $10K of our money and using up half of my vacation time AND leaving you with the kids for 2 weeks because Todd’s turning 40!”

We had DD’s 9 month well visit this morning. According to her stats, she is long and skinny. I’m having a hard time believing it, based on her cheeks, belly, and thigh rolls.
I haven’t been on much because she’s been sleeping like crap and I’ve been struggling to function. I think she has GERD and the pedi agrees that it sounds likely, so we are trying some Zantac. Fx that it does the trick!

I asked for Hamilton tickets for my 30th next summer and I can still hear H laughing. A two week international trip is now, and always will be, out of my reach.

I love traveling for longer periods of time, but if I’m taking a bucket list trip, it will be with DH. I start really missing him after 3-4 days. I’m really looking forward to the days when we have the money and freedom to start traveling internationally again.

Um. Did you tell them in the olden days people boiled water for bathing? Neat trick. Yea, she said oh yea they were going to do that with their DD tonight since school starts back tomorrow. No comment on doing it for herself, tho. They aren't super clean people anyways. She has terrible BO thats an issue I am trying to figure out how to address as nicely as possible. She just threw it out there so casually, like it was NBD She has bad BO BEFORE this?

I think that makes you too old to pout about your friends making really rational decisions about their own time and finances.

ripper are SO's going? Like one big group or just like a girls' trip? Either way, a two week trip with friends sounds too long. I could do like 8-10 days MAX if I had a couple days where it would just be me and H.

I don’t think I’d want to live in a murder house. That’s all I’d be able to think about. I guess it depends? I don’t know. I’ll be thinking about this all day to determine my feelings on the matter.
