Hopefully today is a calm day. Seems like this week has been crazy and I'm over it.

I finally got good news about my Jeep this morning. The service advisor sent me a text at 630 that there was still no update on the radio for it so they were going to reach out to the local rep. I asked about a new radio vs refurb to potentially speed things up...I mean, they aren't building new vehicles due to chip shortages, so there are likely new radios sitting around waiting. He said he would ask, but they don't usually do that. I thanked him and commented that I was wondering how long Jeep expected me to wait and that I've been considering turning it back in, which is disappointing since it's my 4th Jeep in a row. Made sure he knew it wasn't because of him or the dealership, but Jeep itself. He said he understood and would see what he could do.
The area rep approved a new radio due to the current availability which is supposed to deliver today or tomorrow.
Fingers crossed I can get it back by end of day tomorrow!

Good news on the Jeep mwhip! Hope you have it back soon! I’m playing catch up at work because I took last Friday off with Sierra who had a tummy bug, then Sat/Sun were my days off. Then Mon/Tues I took off to take S to STL because of her issues. So I have a lot of catch up to do. Luckily my boss is out for a knee replacement so he isn’t sending me “to do’s”.

I’m trying to pack and pick up the house before hitting the road. I told my sister I was coming but my parents don’t know yet.

morning! Working from home today b/c S has a half day. Then we have virtual back to school night tonight.
tomorrow is that wedding I asked you guys about a few weeks ago. I don't know if I ever told you the compromise we came up with. I'm going down for the outside ceremony, staying for a portion of cocktail hour where apparently there is an outdoor area, then leaving before the reception starts. This also helps as I can get home to grab the kids from their friend's house.
MH leaves today for the rehearsal dinner/wedding, then he's off on a work trip till next weekend. The kids and I have a ton of plans while he's gone so it should go quickly.

Picture day today. Cadence chose low ponies, which fine, but I have a feeling they will not look so neat and pretty by picture time. I also told her to not play in the dirt at recess and she got pissed. She also ended up wearing her tennis shoes because the dress shoes I bought her kept slipping off and she said it would cause a blister on her heels. I meant to buy heel pads for them, but like everything else, time slipped away quickly and I forgot.
I've been alone at the office for the last half hour. Smokey didn't come in yesterday and probably won't today and other coworker emailed this morning saying she wouldn't be here today. Good thing I get off at 2.

I'm working from my kitchen counter again. I'd like my kitchen back but I get so much more done out here. Mallory plays quietly in the living room and I can participate with her while still working.
Yesterday my MIL watched the kids while I did carnival count. Mallory absolutely adores her and opened the door and checked for her 30 times. But Mallory was asleep when she got here. And when she left.. So all morning she's been whining "grandma come over. Grandma play with me" and it's so sad. I told MIL so she's going to try and stop by.

Morning.
I was scheduled to work today, but got called off because it’s so slow. Bummer because I was planning to get my booster today while I was there. I’m supposed to be there all next week, so I can do it then. MH gets his today at work.
Then I tried to go get my birthday coffee from a local place and donuts and my wallet was at home. I’m glad I looked for it before I got in the place. Not much today. Just getting some things checked off my to do list.

Nothing exciting here, but I'm also over this week. My work computer has barely functioned this past two weeks so I've hardly gotten anything done. This morning it took 1.5 hours to start up properly. So annoying and such a waste of my time.

Just finished my first workout on our new peloton tread. Such a difference from our old second hand treadmill. But I haven’t done a real workout in too long, so I’m beat.
L is protesting his nap. I have a feeling he pooped which is why he won’t fall asleep. But I don’t want to go in there since he’s just laying/playing quietly.
He turns 2 tomorrow and we’re having a family party Sunday, so I’ve been getting stuff organized for that. I found a fire truck piñata to fit the theme so I need to stuff it with candy.
Going to my nephews football game after school, then I have volleyball tonight.

Hey. We are at the casino hotel for the night. Massage scheduled in a little over an hour. I’m so excited to sleep all night without anyone waking me up. I’m glad you finally got a good update mwhip. I hope this fixes everything.

Just waiting for soccer to finish. Tomorrow I’m going to a concert in the city. Silver linings of covid, I would not have done this a month ago but I see no reason not to now. I’m sooo excited.

Enjoy! trtlcrzy Fun! kim22I have been a bump on a log all day. I did mark some things off my to do list, but it was all stuff I could do from my phone. Oh well. Tomorrow I will make up for it.

Fun! kim22I am so torn about concerts and things like that. On the one hand, the idea terrifies me, and I can't even comprehend going to a concert or live event of any kind. But on the other hand, that's literally how my family makes a living so it benefits me for people to do that. I feel so conflicted about it all.

Never would have gone if we didn’t have covid last month. Also, NYC is pretty strict so I actually feel better being there. The $38 margarita I got at my last concert before covid is probably like a $78 one now but tickets were free so I’ll have a few.

kim22 NY is very strict and I can confirm that it’s even stricter behind the scenes. A co-worker of mine had to go to 2 different job sites the other day. Each one made him COVID test before setting foot on the property. The 2nd one would not take the negative from the other site. 4 hours earlier. Crazy. And he’s fully vaccinated.

tgrimes I’m sorry. That’s so hard to see. I’m glad you were able to get out there to see him though. I’m sure, if nothing else, it’s good for your sister to have companionship

He fought us going to the bathroom and getting into bed. He kept asking why we were so unruly. I don’t blame my mother for being done. It’s a lot.
We need to discuss nursing home options, probably.

tgrimes it sure sounds like it’s time to discuss nursing homes or full time care of some sort. That’s too much.
