Tuesday...it’s after Monday

[chrisy01]

What’s going on ladies?

[chrisy01]

It’s very ashy again today due to the fires. A few friends have been evacuated but everyone I know is safe. I’m hoping the wind dies down so the firefighters don’t have that to deal with.

More last minute work today. But it’s having a positive impact, so at least that’s good.

[mwhip]

chrisy01 Glad to hear something positive is happening at your workplace! Hope it continues!

Evie is back at school today. Her congestion was quite a bit better by yesterday afternoon. She wanted to stay home again, but I wouldn't let her. I think it was just a laziness/wanting to be with me thing.

Her rheumatologist never responded to me yesterday, which is annoying. Because a note was required for her to return to school, I contacted her pediatrician late in the afternoon and asked if she would write one up, stating she is taking methotrexate for a medical condition and it causes nausea. Dumb, but I get it. Her pediatrician said that she would, but said if any other symptoms besides the congestion came up, she needed to get a Covid test, but since it was just the one symptom, she was okay with her returning. By the time I responded, it was after 5, so the note may not get sent until this morning, but I'm assuming the school was okay with her returning since I haven't heard anything. Besides the obvious, this is just one more super annoying part of life with Covid.

Morning. I'm in a shitty mood so I need to turn that around. C is doing everything he can to annoy his siblings (And me) and just has so much pent up energy. L is so sensitive today, crying at everything.

[chrisy01]

[mention]mwhip [/mention] I’m glad E is feeling better

[chrisy01]

[mention]wineallthetime [/mention] I’m sorry it’s one of those days. I’m hoping it turns around soon for you.

Morning. Kid free day for me. I was suddenly very annoyed by the state of our freezer, so I de-iced the stupid thing. COVID numbers should be going down, given all the new ‘rules’ but they’re not. I’m in a funk about it. Worried that schools will shut down again, worried about what this will mean if I do need to go to the hospital... ugh I’m spiralling. I’m going to focus on Ds’ birthday and trying to make that as fun as possible.

Eta shut down... not the other thing... laughing trough my tears today. Thank goodness we still have humor.

Enjoy the kid free day! Sorry about the rest of the stuff though 😭

GM- just finished up some work that I had been avoiding so taking a little break.

Dreary day here, I’m planning on going for a run around lunchtime. Not much else.

[yummeecookee]

I’m glad to hear E was well enough for school today mwhip!

wineallthetime, have you had any caffeine this morning? Sometimes a fancy coffee can pull me out of those funks.

[flamingo]

Good morning!

wineallthetime hope your day turns around!

Glad E felt better this a.m. and could go back to school mwhip.

[flamingo]

Not much on our agenda here. C has ballet in a bit and gets to wear a Halloween costume (I think she's going to use last year's b/c it will be a bit easier to dance in).

DH is supposedly leaving Sunday but this is not set in stone for reasons I won't bore you with, so who knows. Frankly I'm ready for this deployment to get started, we've been talking about it for months.

[peachsmama]

I have the extra kids today. And boy is it so much easier with M at school. J and the boy play great, and M gets jealous and causes a fuss.

I'm also washing all the 18 month clothes for MJ. So many clothes.. but all her shirts are to short, sleeves are to short and onesies barely fasten. Pants and pjs still fit though. But I'm washing them anyways and will put them in a clean pillow case until she needs them so I don't have to dig them out later.

[lahdeedah]

Morning.

mwhip Glad she feels better today.

wineallthetime Hope you turn it around soon. M has been doing things to aggravate M2 for no reason lately and it annoys the heck out of me. He is not bothering anyone so just leave little brother alone!

nam2013 Enjoy your day!

Sorry you’re spiraling. Just remember it takes time for you to see impacts of change with this virus. The numbers should start going back down soon.

I haven't! I don't drink caffeine due to anxiety, but I could have some decaf! It does sound good!

Hi.

MH took the boys to school and let me sleep in this morning. I woke up with sore shoulders and a sore neck though. Today I need to get the guest room ready for my mom’s visit this weekend and to clean out my last drawer in my bathroom. I did all but my makeup drawer Sunday.

I know. But it’s been 4 weeks since the first ‘new’ rules & two since the the other enforcements went in to place, we should see some effect by now. The only thing that seems to happening now is a slight dip in the growth rate. We’ll hear more from our government on Friday.

[trtlcrzy]

Morning. I overslept which made us late for preschool so I just decided to have S skip today. She’s not too mad about it. We are just hanging out and at some point I need to take the girls to Walmart to pick our S’s costume. Probably after lunch.

Sorry for the rough start wineallthetime

I’m packing my hospital bag (just in case) what shouldn’t I forget? I’m feeling like a newb!

Nipple cream, clothes to change into, pads,socks/slippers, camera, newborn outfit, chargers, nursing pillow

I got my workout in this morning and now I'm at the office stuffing my face with a veggie spud. It's bigger than my face.

[tgrimes]

My dad had his chest xray done yesterday and Friday he'll have the MRI. He has an appt Nov 6 with both surgeons to discuss the procedure and then they'll schedule surgery after that. I'm annoyed it is taking so long.

[tgrimes]

wineallthetime Any news on your dad's results yet? How is he doing?

I always brought my own pillow too.  I felt more comfy with mine and my pillow case.

vino have you watched the new HS video for Golden? Its wonderful.

Morning ladies. Sorry it's been a rough start for some of you.

Hope the ash clears out soon chrisy01.

I took the day off and I'm glad I did. After 6 x 10s last week I was wiped. The weekend was loooooong. I leave for my other job tomorrow for a couple days and come back early on Halloween. I'll probably put off packing until tomorrow morning.

We're going to pick out pumpkins today and carve after going out for lunch.

Yesterday I took the kids to the trampoline place. They were begging for 2 hours and I told them 1 is plenty. It was. Oof I was sore. There was hardly anyone there on a weekday afternoon. I don't think I'd trust their covid management on a weekend though.
