I'm at the office but will be leaving at 10 to get H and take him to the VPI clinic. Afterwards we have to do another blood draw. I...am not looking forward to that.

I took my Jeep to the dealership this morning. As I was waiting for the rental desk, my service advisor came in and asked where I had bought it at. Told him, which he used to work for one of their locations, same location mine came from, and he said they used to occasionally see electrical issues due to a GPS tracking device that put in all their vehicles. He got up in there, yanked it out, so I told him I would drive it and let him know.
If this was the issue, I'm sending the guy we have bought our last 4 vehicles from the shittiest test message.

Hi from rocking chair during my first pumping session of the day. I'm irritated bc AF returned last night. Why can't i be one of those people that goes without the whole time they're nursing? Or at least 6 months? Anyway, feeling overwhelmed with things to do and also frustrated bc it looks like the primary schools.wont be allowed to have classroom parties for Halloween. L will be so bummed. It’s not fair right?!? I got mine 8-10 weeks pp. I’m still nursing 8 times a day. I’m sorry about the parties… it still all sucks.

I also got confirmation yesterday that I did sign a non-compete. I emailed the lady I talked to last week to confirm and asked her if she wanted me to pursue it. I feel like I could easily get out of it...I could say I was going back to my previous employer, but I don't want to tell a potential new employer that I'm willing to lie. So I'm waiting to hear back from her, but my guess is it's dead.

[mention]mwhip [/mention] I will say my company has a non-compete for executives that seems enforceable but there is only a 6 month timeline. I only know this because one executive who “retired” due to force waited 6 months to the day to sign with the theme park down the street.

mamabear, boo to early return of AF! tgrimes hope the appointment goes as smooth as possible. chrisy01 welcome back to the Sunshine State. Glad you had a good trip! I'm curious, for the wedding, once the actual ceremony was complete did everyone just hang out and mingle around Pandora? Was there dancing, or a reception/food pavilion?

So my boss said telework is cancelled for everyone this week and we all have to come into the office (so goodbye to any chance at some sleep for me)...guess who's not here. Apparently it's just for this week though because he needs to chastise one weirdo doc who spends more time farming than writing reports...but I don't think any amount of his dedication or quality of work changed due to TW. He's always been weird and found plenty of ways to do anything but work at the office too.

I'm curious, for the wedding, once the actual ceremony was complete did everyone just hang out and mingle around Pandora? Was there dancing, or a reception/food pavilion? There was a reception with food (really good food) cake, drinks, and dancing. When it was time to go everyone gathered together and was escorted to the buses. Only way to/from was transportation Disney provided. Once in you had to stay until then. We could only go to where the wedding and reception areas. One guy tried to hide and smoke a cigar and had a lovely but stern conversation with security.

Hi.
When I walked into work this morning the CEO of the hospital was throwing donuts and coffee at us to show his appreciation for us. I gladly took mine and now I’m caffeinated and sugared up.
Not a bad day so far. I’m feeling better than yesterday and I hope I stay that way. M2 has karate later but that’s it. I started doing this Spanish app with the kids just to see if they would be interested and they fight over it. Lol. It’s really nothing amazing but a few games and what not, but I’ll have them do it once a day until they lose interest. There isn’t any second languages in most schools here.

That's a bummer about Halloween. Will they at least get a parade?

Me: did anyone say anything about them? C: C said he liked him (C is one of the 3 crushes and she's had a crush on him since kinder) Me: did you say, "thank you, I like your face" C: OMG MOTHER! That is NOT funny! Me:

mwhip um what is that gps thing?? I'd be pissed if it was an after market thing that caused issues. chrisy01 so glad you had a great trip! I'm getting a covid test before my trip this weekend at CVS. My sister got a puppy goldendoodle last night and omg it's so cute. So I'm enjoying the puppy content and can't wait to meet him. N still has a bad cough and I tore the house apart looking for our nebulizer, but no luck yet. Also super random but does anyone still follow young house love? Their dog burger died and I'm so sad for them.

So does this mean I could easily get out of mine? Kansas - Accountants have a limited exemption. H said you can easily go around a non-compete. I almost want to ask for a copy of what I signed. I seriously doubt they would attempt to take me to court...someone who has only been here for 7 months. It would cost more than worth and I don't have customer information that I would attempt to take customers with me.

If they truly do install them, they should take them off at time of sale. The dealerships are in competition with each other, but the advisor came from the place I bought from, so I tend to believe him. He had no reason to tell me that. I'm extremely interested in how the next week of driving it is going to go.

I just had to share one of my amazing mom skills moments. M is expanding her palate more. She wanted to try a variation of a BLT sandwich. She wanted just the B with mayo and asked for a BM sandwich and I need to explain to her why that name is not appetizing. So gross, and no veggies, but at least she's eating more protein than usual. I made one for her yesterday after school. She put the mayo on one half and wanted me to put it on the other half. In fancy cursive I wrote "Jay" in mayo with a heart around it (her crush of the moment). She was super impressed but sad to ruin her fancy mayo. She wants to keep this a secret from everyone in the family so I told her once she closes the sandwich it's her own little secret and no one will know.

I had to from home work today and we had a city wide power outage, luckily my laptop has one of those non WiFi connector things, so luckily I could to some work until my battery was empty.
I’m a giant ball of nerves for tomorrow. I can’t wait to see my sister. But flying with three kids in these times. I kind of don’t know what I was thinking. You need a vaccine passport to enter the airport and you can’t enter Norway without being vaccinated (unless you have strong family reasons and then you have to be tested before flying). So there’s that. Numbers are great there, basically back to somewhat normal live. But I’m worried about the airport… the crowds etc.
