Just got a call from the kids school. I was scared one of them was sick or exposed. Nope. They couldn’t find E’s lunch. Which was in her backpack.

I hate getting those calls, too. M’s school calls for everything and each time I’m like uh and then it’s just- bus will be late, or check your email for a message, or fill out this form. 🙄

So my new cubicle mate is starting to bring her things in. She officially moves tomorrow. She’s already filled the space up and has 8 more boxes. She asked if I need my filing cabinet. I gave her more than half the space. Tomorrow is not going to be fun.

The school generally doesn’t call. That’s why it freaked me out a bit.

The contractors left and now I’m questioning everything. The cabinet maker they usually use is suddenly backlogged until the end of February (they told me last week it would be November) but they have another cabinet maker that can do it in that time frame. Which is fine… but now I’m feeling very anxious about it all and unsure of all of my decisions.

I should be working but I’ve just been walking around with a tape measure trying to reassure myself and it’s not working.

DD is positive. I’m somewhere between it is what it is, I knew this was coming and locking myself in the basement to cry.

[jewels]

Ugh I’m sorry kim22

So since it’s in your house, will you have your H come back? Does she have symptoms?

[lahdeedah]

Damn I’m sorry. kim22 Vent all you want. This totally sucks. Hope she has a mild case.

[lahdeedah]

slenle That sounds about right from the little I’ve heard here. A neighbor decided against building because of all the delays and I remember her saying cabinets would be 6mo out. They also have select finishes unavailable in various things. Even if the other company promises to be on time, I would still expect some surprise delays. Sorry it’s making you second guess your decision.

@kim11, I'm so sorry!

No symptoms so far unless you count she ate chicken without complaining like she usually does just before we found out. DH offered to come get her but she wants to stay and she has that minor pre-existing heart condition so I’d rather keep her close to her doctors up here just in case. She was so excited to start middle school so that’s what she’s upset about. Other than that, soccer and gymnastics are both currently dealing with flood damage and closed so she’s not missing those.

Ugh kim22, I hope she stays mild.

slenle everything is backed up right now. If we had known building would take so long, we would not have done anything during this time.

I guess I didn't bomb the phone interview today...they want me to have a teams call with the owner of the company.

[guster]

Oh Kim22, I'm so sorry! I hope she stays mild and the rest of you keep it at bay!

Pandemic or not, building is a fucking nightmare. I told Alex if anything happens to our house, we throw a roof on the basement and live there. I will not ever build again. 

[slenle]

Oh no! I’m sorry kim22.

Nice work, mwhip! Hope the next interview goes well.

[lahdeedah]

Hope that’s a good sign. mwhip Congrats on getting to the next level in the process!

[lahdeedah]

M2 had a good report from his teacher and a great day at the new school. I wasn’t expecting the app they use that they give regular updates on and pics. I’m feeling so good about moving him and have no reservations that we did the right thing. Sweet relief.

[klong11]

I'm so sorry kim22. I hope it stays mild and she recovers quickly.

[chrisy01]

I’m sorry [mention]kim22 [/mention] hopefully it stays mild and she recovers quickly.

[nam2013]

kim22 oh nooooo… hope it stays mild.

[inthekitty]

lahdeedah, aw, I'm so happy. I'm glad he likes it there.

[tgrimes]

lahdeedah So happy you moved him!!!!

[trtlcrzy]

Dang it, kim22. I hope the rest stay negative
