lahdeedah so exciting about your house! I hope you get way more than asking and you are under contract soon! Glad to hear your H has found a great place to stay. The new job is good! Trying to absorb everything and learn their system, but I think its going to be great.

Thanks for the tag jewels! Work has been insane. I'm not sure where being busy ends and just being anxious about all the change picks up. I still don't trust my manager for anything and I am currently documenting how great my junior PM is because he thinks my manager has it out for him. So I veer between starring at my laptop semi-paralyzed and working at a frenzied pace. There is no in between. I'm in a running mileage challenge this month - the team that runs the most miles wins a $25K donation to their charity. I'm running for a Sandy Hook related charity and OMG I haven't run this much since before Colin. It's been nice though to get connected with a lot more local runners. But in general, between being a year into working from home and not being able to see my parents until I get vaccinated (hopefully in April), I'm definitely struggling. I'm just exhausted all the time. And I know it sounds petty, but my girl friends all forgot my birthday despite us texting daily, so I haven't felt like talking to them about it. On a positive note, Chase turned 5 yesterday and is getting excited for kindergarten in the fall. Both sets of grandparents are fully vaccinated and Colin's teacher will be soon, too. The weather is getting better and little league starts back up late next month. Both boys have friends we can invite over to play out back, so I am looking forward to that too. I'm looking for any excuse to be optimistic. Sorry for being MIA lately. I am sure I have missed a lot and haven't been as supportive as you all deserve. So thanks for thinking of me still. |

peachsmama how is everyone feeling by you tonight? Matthew is not barking but still coughing. I'm going to keep him home tomorrow and continue to dose with cold and cough and cross everything that he can go to his party Friday. Everyone else is good. How are you feeling? |

Better except my back and legs still hurt so much. The back pain is very similar to when my kidneys act up so that’s giving me anxiety too even though I know it’s not that. Just took 4 Advil and will take Tylenol again at bedtime so I can hopefully at least sleep and then see if I can make it to work tomorrow. |

Hey! I’m here! Things have just been hectic lately! So here’s my happenings:
1. Work is nuts, trying to hire summer staff and get ready for the season.
2. I sold my Jeep so now I’m car shopping.
3. Got my 1st Covid shot last week. 2 days later started not feeling good on Saturday. Thought it was just from that. But then Sunday I started having severe stomach, side, and kidney type pains. Dr Monday. Likely kidney stones, possibly a blockage because I’m still feeling terrible. So I have a acT scan in the morning.
4. Drove to STL yesterday because S had a neurologist appointment. They increased the intensity of the stimulation on her VNS. Then today I had an appointment with the hand surgeon. I will be having another hand surgery next month. For those keeping count this will make # 4 in the last 2 years. But hopefully this is it. Headed home now, just stopped for a late dinner.

TW: and then yesterday a 3rd grader in Sierra’s school was killed when his younger sibling found and unsecured gun in a vehicle at their house and was playing with it. Devastating.

Did you have any success in finding a trailer? I’m torn. I really like the the Chevy Traverse and Equinox. Still on the hunt for the trailer. Hoping to pull the trigger on one in the next month or so thought. |

I chatted with her not too long ago. I don't think she's been on the board in awhile. I'll reach out to her again. |
