I was supposed to go mow tonight but evidently I found poison ivy last night and my eye is swollen so instead I'm waiting in my truck to be seen at urgent care. Oh no! I hope they give you the good steroids and antihistamines that can help quickly.

My son loves to pressure wash. He throws on his cowboy boots (usually with shorts lol) and gets after it. Pressure washing is the best.

MH is doing training right now for work and he is always on camera and it’s really annoying. The scene shows an angle into our kitchen so his coworkers see exactly how many times a day I get up and open the fridge and decide I don’t want anything we have.

Definitely drinking starting NOW. Dropping my ring at the jeweler tomorrow to get sized! Lest I tempt the wrath of whatever from high atop the thing. I couldn't keep up with the FFFC thread but saw you got your ring back. Where did he find it?? In the truck I lost it in. After basically taking the interior apart. He was persistent!

@gentleapricot i'm so genuinely sorry. i hate those situations. maybe use the kid as leverage for a reason not to? i will say that usually if i'm feeling very "no thank you" to seeing a friend at a certain time, it doesn't end up so bad if i do say yes. I literally do not like people in my space. Ever. And the thought of a sleepover makes me want to die. I’m sure it would be fine and S would love it but... but... I don’t wannnnnaaaaa You could tell her about a message board full of friends *jokes*

Drinking here. Def feels like fall, which is fine but why can't it ever stay in the 70s? Why is that such a hard temp range for Chicago area? Boy do I have just the place for you to move... Girl, I KNOW

We spend the evening pulling nails and spackling in the new house. The former owner was an older lady with family photo galleries and Knick knacks all over the house. There are SO MANY holes. But we made good progress and will hopefully be able to do some painting by tomorrow afternoon.

Wow you’re really all eating pizza tonight. I was going to make some but my sisters coming over tomorrow so I figured better to save it for then.

Oh no, Pistol, I hope you're okay. Its not near as bad as the time I put my face in a pine tree so that's something. I just need to get a steroid pack to get it under control. R has a race on Sunday and I would hate for it to get worse and I have to either miss it or go and not be able to see it. 🤣

I don’t wannnnnaaaaa I an not a slumber party bitch either. Everyone go home to their own beds. I would use the tactics I use on my inlaws. Take or leave this 2nd hand therapy as you wish! 1- empathize: “you really don’t want to be alone right now! This is hard.” 2 - set the boundary: “ I can’t do a sleepover, I have to be lights out by 11 here.” 3 - say what you will do: “we could do a movie night if you want a distraction?” I’m going with #3. I told her I’m sorry. I’m here for her. We should go to the park early am but I can call her this evening too.

We did the last few bits of moving our shit today. Which included the trampoline. I mean I don’t know how difficult that was to undo because SO did it, but I’m looking at the pieces in our backyard like 😑😩☹️😐🥱
I’m looking at them with a beer in hand, of course.

The weather is supposed to stick around and I have chili planned for our lunch at the races Sunday. I can't wait for my first soup of the season!

I made a vodka-based aviation cocktail, which is vodka, Luxardo liqueur, and fresh lemon juice. Divine!
I wish it would start cooling the eff down. Over 100 again today. Friggin' inland California.

I just ordered a ton of Chinese food. I have the worst cramps and there was less than zero chance I was cooking. Very much looking forward to that and hard seltzers. Can’t wait to sleep in tomorrow instead of hearing the alarm.

I’m Done. The air is actually nice, so I may bribe my children to go on a walk with me after dinner.
I’ve been so stressed and such a lump.
And I just got a notification that I scheduled a homework lab for tonight. Waaahhh. I’m going to start it and if I’m not okay, reschedule it for tomorrow.

Oh is this the pizza thread? I had a nice dinner planned but both kids were being hellbeasts, so pizza here too. And a spiked spritzer.
H and I are going to a pub patio tomorrow for beers and I am very nervous but also excited to get away from this house and these kids. My god.

I had to call the Help Desk bc a row of keys on my laptop stopped working. Our frontlines are trying to trouble shoot. I have no hope they'll fix it but I don't know that there's a spare laptop floating around in storage. Can you at least plug a keyboard into it for now? Its not ideal but might get you through. Yeah I had to use my USB keyboard half the day and on Monday until they can replace it. Our asset manager left at 4:30 like a normal person so wasn't there to replace it.

DD spent time at her grandparents today, and was able to hide in the bedroom to FaceTime me (she has to be sneaky because her step mom won’t allow it so she hides from her sister). It was so great seeing her adorable face, but it made me all emotional when DD started crying because she misses me so much. Ugh!

An adult sleepover situation is a huge DNW for me as well.

I had 4-6 elementary kids (plus my toddler twins) here for the first full week of virtual school. I am so, so tired but very pleased with how well it went. Fingers crossed next week is as smooth!
