Morning. I am working ... and watching The Stranger. Now if my phone would just quit ringing. It is interrupting my show.

Working, trying not to be a huge bitch because my job sucks. Same thing as every day. I feel like life is like Ground Hog Day, except ridiculously busy.
Anyway, we are doing family pics tonight. Which boots are more fashionable? Ankle boots or calf height? I'm so unfashionable. And waiting until the last minute to decide what to wear.

Morning!
Back at work.
B's eczema has been flaring up and it's been itching. He woke up b/c of it in the middle of the night last night and came in our room, asking me to go to the bathroom with him. I was half asleep and thought he just had to go. So when I finally understood what he wanted, I went to grab the lotion that was on the counter and apparently grabbed the toothpaste. I squeezed it onto my finger and was about to rub it on his side when I wondered why the cream was blue. Thankfully I caught it just in time.

You can't go wrong with either options, but I'd choose ankle. |

Both kids are at school. No more overnights for awhile for C so tomorrow we go back to normal schedule, sort of. So for the rest of November L doesn’t have school on Fridays. I swear they meet the bare minimum of school time at this school.

My post got eaten.
Going to be a very busy day. Work and I need to fit in taking the girls to get Rona shots and helping with the TKD after school care pick-up van. The woman who runs the daycare is a hardcore German who never calls in sick and was hospitalized yesterday so they called me in desperation to drive the van. I hope she's okay.
MH is taking the kids to horseback riding and robotics club. I was going to make fat noodles for dinner tonight but I don't know if I'll have the energy because after all that we still have late TKD class tonight.

SSDD here. I just came back from a walk with my neighbor and it's gorgeous out. Great fall colors and mid 60's.

If you are wearing a dress, I would do calf. If jeans, your pick won’t be wrong. Sorry about work. |

Morning. Not much on the agenda today. I’m trying to figure out what to do about M’s present. I ordered a skateboard from Target, but it’s saying it won’t arrive until two days after his actual birthday. 🙄 It hasn’t shipped yet, so I can try to find another one either in the stores or one on Amazon that will be here on time.
Other than that, laundry and the gym on deck.

Hello! I saw the house I mentioned. I LOVE it. Love love love. Unfortunately everyone else loves it too and there are multiple offers. All offers due by 11pm so maybe I'll get lucky but doubt it

I left another message for the mammogram place this morning. Someone finally called me back only to say that the radiologist still hasn't read the results yet. Seriously? WTF. Don't tell me 5-7 days if it's going to be longer than that. She said she hopes they'll call me by the end of the week.
THE END OF THE WEEK!

Jesus tgrimes, that's just rude. These people have no common sense, why would you leave someone hanging so long! Just take 2 minutes to read the damn results!!! |

tgrimes I'm so annoyed with you on having to wait so long to get results. Tests like that should be read immediately. wineallthetime Can your agent get information on the highest offer currently? I've heard that writing a letter to the current homeowners for them to look at, while reviewing offers, sometimes helps. Although when we are ready to sell, I'm going with the highest offer/least amount of things we have to do leading up to close.

Not the highest over, but a nice letter saying how much they like it and how much they’d like their (future) kids to grow up in it  . |

This morning starting eventful with ds almost fainting. He does that from time to time, usually when he has a sharp unexpected pain. I felt like the worst mom sending him to school all pale and groggy, but I knew he’d perk up within half an hour and didn’t want to keep him home from school all day. Dd has a fever from her shots yesterday, so she’s not herself
I’m tired and a little overwhelmed. This week is crazy busy and I have social commitments too, which are a bit to much for me at the moment. I’m seriously considering calling in Thursday, and/or taking a few days of next week. Tomorrow is my biggest event/project of the year and I’ll be glad to have it over with. Normally I feel proud to see it all come together, this year i just feel nervous.

I'm putting away mountains of laundry and doing mountains of invoices. MJ needs a nap but my cousin is dropping by so I'm trying to keep her awake until she leaves.

Hey. V developed a fever last night and since she’s had a cough/congestion for a few weeks I took her to the pedi this morning. They did a covid test and chest X-ray and everything came back negative. Her ears were fine too. His thought is that she just caught back to back illnesses. We have all been passing things back and forth so I don’t doubt it. I also got a message this morning that S’s teacher and her husband have covid. S is one of the few kids that wear a mask at school so I’m not really worried about her catching it. I just really need everyone to be mostly healthy by Friday for the wedding this weekend. The contractor is back working on the basement again. Today he is wrapping the fireplace in wood. Slowly but surely we’re getting somewhere.

If not, maybe they can stay with your ILs while you and YH enjoy the wedding? Hope they all get better soon! |

tgrimes They have the biopsy results but not the mammogram you did after? Can’t believe it’s taking this long for a radiologist to glance at it. If they have this many mammograms they should have a team of radiologists so clearly one of them can look at it.

I had a teams interview over lunch for a position I'm really excited about. It's a big well known company, significant pay increase, flexible WFH schedule, and there is nothing about the position I haven't done. But I've had so many rejects recently, it's hard to get my hopes up.

Sweet baby Jesus. I needed everything to flow smoothly today to get everything done. Not sure what's going on at Walgreens. Their appointment was a half hour ago and we're still sitting here. 🤯
