Really just overall not ok today. I need to find a new job but I don't even know where to look. It sounds like you need time off from work. Can you take some sick or vacation days? You seem pretty miserable and some time away can help you regroup and focus on making yourself happier? Like I know a week off isn't going to fix that but maybe it can give you some time and space. I took last Thursday and Friday to spend some time with DS. It's just not enough. Unfortunately we are losing people left and right so the workload keeps increasing.

Also in word vomit news, my intermittent fasting is going well and I feel very great blood sugar wise and have lost a couple lbs. I know that's probably water weight but I'm super excited to add in some gym time soon. Waiting for finances to align to sign up for the gym. The DDD (Delay, Don't Deny) IF group on Facebook is really informative and helpful.
Thank you!! I will check it out

Unfortunately we are losing people left and right so the workload keeps increasing. True, but maybe a day when he's at school so you can literally not have to do work or parent him. Also, remember, you come first. Loyalty and dedication to a job is nice, but they will replace you and not think twice if it comes to that. You don't owe them. Your mental health and stress and anxiety over this job is not worth it. I knowwwwwwwwwww easier said than done. and the idea that a day off means even more when when you get back sucks. But maybe you need to tell your boss that it's just too much. If you're losing people then they knows its not just your normal workload and there's a limit in which people can do shit. I'm sorry.

I don't know your Industry but I'd just start with indeed or something like that to see what's out there.

Elementary school here starts at 8:45. When DS goes in person I wake him around 7:30 and we leave the house around 8:15 (he could sleep later if he didn't take one hundred million thousand years to eat breakfast). Left to his own devices he sleeps til 8 or 8:30. I get up around 7. I hate it. Hate. It. But when he starts middle school we'll have to get up even earlier and I really don't wanna. Mine does everything but eat breakfast and then is SHOCKED when I say we have to go, no time for breakfast now. Maybe don't play dress up with your dog for 20 min then, DS. And he will eat dinner in 5 minutes flat and then asked to be excused. Amazing.

I have a certification test for my mowing business tomorrow so my mom is keeping the kids tonight. I'm excited. I'm going to take them to her house while H mows the one yard we have to do today and then we are going to take the bikes and grab take out mex and sit and watch the cars go by while we eat. This sounds amazing! By the way I took your advice and we called a family friend we know who does landscaping and we got a quote for $200 cheaper. Good thing since they guy who we originally were going to use went AWOL for a week and a half. Awesome! I thought the original quote seemed a little steep.

Every morning my kid has to reenact the birth of his stuffed cats over and over. He is also the world’s slowest eater and then when he’s informed he only has two minutes left to finish his breakfast, the most dramatic “BUT I’M STILL HUNGRYYYYY” ensues. Never mind that he gets breakfast as soon as he gets to preschool.

Shit. I just realized I need H to put the license plate back on my bike. It came off when I crashed on Saturday at the track. I hope I didn't break the mounting thing.

We don't have to leave until 7:30 but he's awake by 6:15. WHAT are you doing??

Rusty Red, hugs. I’ve been feeling that way a bit lately. I’m just so burnt out. I hope that you can get a break and find something that’s a better fit.

When DD1 starts kinder in August they have a soft start from 7:20-7:40 then announcements start at 7:40. That is currently when we wake up so a big shift is coming for us all.

I’m changing my dentist and primary care doctor and it feels like breaking up.

I tried to break up with my PCP once and the other doc left town shortly after my first appointment, so I went back to the one I broke up with (she was the only one at the practice I could get in to see without a ridiculous wait). It was awkward.

DHs place of employment has been vandalized a few times recently and left an Instagram handle in graffiti.
There's one follower on the Instagram of an account for a 13 yo "bad ass" so I hope the police figure it out.
Some days I wish I was a detective 😆

Mh and I finally tried the Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich this weekend and it is so good. Way better than CFA in my opinion.

Due to some dumb insurance issues I'm two days without my anxiety meds. Luckily I finally got it sorted out this morning and my refill is already processed.
I need to work on a PowerPoint for a class and I am so close to the end of this semester I can feel it. I'm desperately looking forward to my 3 week break before the summer semester starts.

we're getting our first Hello Fresh delivery today. I've suggested trying them a few times but MH was never that interested, he finally reached breaking point last week with thinking about food and agreed to try Hello Fresh, he was very exited to click through all the weeks and pre order the meals.

Sometimes we get some duds but overall 5/5 I really wanted to love Hello Fresh, but they kept messing up my orders. Besides one time, every box i ordered was missing at least one of the main proteins. So I decided to start ordering just the vegetarian options and adding in my own proteins. Then I would get it and it would still be missing something or the main part would be open and destroyed in the bag. i still think I might try it again...maybe during the shut down they were too busy. Wow, yeah I've never had that issue and I've been ordering (sporadically) since I had DD in 2018

Second question of the day: My pilea peperomioides’ leaves curl under like this and the internet tells me it’s either underwatered or overwatered... how can I tell which? I water when the soil is dry, probably every 5 days or so? Sometimes the leaves uncurl after being watered but not always. I also mist every few days. Or is it some other problem? STP @wasabi Betweenthelines Also I have zero idea how to say peperomioides out loud. Dammit Tapatalk won’t let me post a picture.
