Coffee with pumpkin spice oat milk creamer.
Work.
I need to catch up on house work. Laundry and sheets need to be cleaned and I need to vacuum/ dust the kids room.
Our architect got sick 2 weeks ago so we finally rescheduled for Tuesday. I’m excited and terrified.

I caught the girls' cold 🤧 so I'm feeling junky and annoyed. Hot coffee this morning, and then probably hot tea with honey all day.
R needs a new backpack, so I guess I'll go looking for some options today after clients.

I'm having coffee with cream and sugar. There's no proper school today but the kids all have appointments for individual assessments. L's is at 10am so we're having a leisurely morning.
Our bathroom vanity is getting installed this morning as well! I'm so excited to finally have a functional bathroom again. Our contractor will have to come back one more time to put up the mirror, finish tiling, and install shelving. The end is in sight.
N will be going to preschool this week and we have friends coming over to play on Wednesday morning. It's going to be hot this week, which is crazy for this time of year.

I’ve got Peet’s coffee with vanilla creamer. I broke my crown, so dentist appointment Thursday. I scheduled my vaccine booster shot for Friday, right before we leave for a night of camping. Hopefully if I end up feeling bad, it’s not until the next day once we’re home. I’m excited to see how the puppy does camping. I’m enjoying the milder weather.

I'm still on cold brew, but I should make the switch soon. My office is a cold place.
Some fun early morning excitement with a propane leak at the cannery. The propane guy said that either someone cranked up the pressure on the tank or the relief valve failed. The latter seems more likely to me, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to point a camera at the propane tanks anyway. The pressure relief valve was shooting propane vapor out the back and the fire department came and turned off the tanks and the lines to the building. Our janitor saw it and smelled it when he came in and I'm grateful that he caught it before anyone else came in.

After I wrote my above post I thought to myself, I should double check that his appointment really is at 10... And nope, I had made it for 830am 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ If their appointment system would have sent an email confirmation I wouldn't have mixed that up, but alas...
The school is on our street so I threw the baby in the stroller and made the kids run there. Thankfully his teacher agreed to take him in. I'm such an idiot.
I just ordered a planner.

Four more days of quarantine as long as nothing crazy happens. Friday we can resume life. Talk about TGIF.
Had my usual macchiato this morning. May need a round 2.

Kcup with pumpkin spice nut pod. But for some reason it isn’t mixing in so it looks all gross. Aaaaand E got sent home again. She had a cold last week (week before? time means nothing anymore), already got a negative covid test during that illness, but still has a lingering cough. For those keeping track at home, this is our 4th covid quarantine in 5 weeks of school.
Did I mention my huge audit is Thursday? Did I mention that? And that my only coworker is out that fucking day? Did I? Bc it’s kind of a huge deal. And this is. It convenient timing for yet ANOTHER quarantine. Yeah yeah I know greater good, protecting others, of course. But where was that mentality when our governor made masks illegal and started all this bs with all the kids getting sick? Mmkay?

I'm so sorry for all the stress tj 😔 I hope the audit goes well and that you can find a way to decompress afterward. It's so unfair that you have to deal with yet another quarantine, it's just unbelievable the way some governments are mishandling this whole thing.

This morning, I made myself a hot coffee mixed with leftover hot chocolate for my kids. Not a great mocha, but not bad tasting.
Then to school drop off, followed by my MRI. Remember the MRI that was such a bitch to schedule with insurance?
Anyway, I went there, signed in, removed my piercings, etc. began the MRI which was meant to be 45 minutes (I was told less on the phone, but whatevs).
Midway through, a few minutes after I had come out for a constraint injection, I was brought out because the fire alarm was going off.
It wasn’t a fire, but it wasn’t a drill either. It was from something else that was being done in the basement by electricians.
So I got to spend 25 minutes in the parking lot in socks and pants (thank god) and a cotton gown on top.
Honestly, I couldn’t even hear it because I had earplugs in and also headphones.
Sigh. That’s enough excitement for the week.
Hope to get MRI results by midweek.

Well a hearty wtf for both of you tj and ovenrack. I’m feeling crummy but hoping it’s just because of the flu shot. DS1 is still quarantined but feeling fine. Blaaaah. We are having Kraft Mac & cheese for dinner and I’m going to go to bed early.

Columbia blend with milk and sugar.
We had a quick trip to my parents for my nieces first birthday. Got back late last night. Picked the dog up from the boarder this morning, dropped the girls at school, worked a few hours and got caught up on laundry. Picked the girls up early for dentist appts, now I’ll sitting at gymnastics until 515. 😅 Mondays are always so crazy for us.

Hot coffee with maple latte creamer, because why not? lol I worked today. Got my log in finally, so I should be working from home by Wednesday, which coincidentally is my birthday lol. Thursday hubby is off so we're going to get take out curry and roti because I've been craving but don't really feel like standing over the stove for hours making it lol. Friday I'm going for a manicure with my girlfriend and then we're going shopping to get stuff for s'mores because Saturday we're having a bonfire (my request for my birthday party). Hopefully I can get some more sleep once I start working from home because this mama is tired!

Um, you must be mistaken. You are def not an asshole. I'd be stressed and frustrated with all that, too. I hope E is ok and that your audit goes smoothly!

Well, my dreams of a functional bathroom were dashed. The sink was chipped when they took it out of the box. They have to order another one and it could be many weeks before it arrives 😵💫

And this sucks. Shipping is a shit show and I feel like I’ve received so many damaged boxes from FedEx in the last year. I had to ask King Arthur to replace a broken container even when the box was full of packing material. The box was caved in on one side.

Everything else worked out for us, just not this damn sink. I'm not sure how it works when you order everything before starting the reno. Our contractor is currently booking 6 to 7 months out, so that really prolongs things. I guess it's the safest way to go, though. I've seen damaged packages lately, too. Our shower curtain rod from Wayfair came with the box opened and crushed and the rod was bent.
