I'm so glad it's Friday. I swear, every week, by Thursday evening, I'm just completely wiped out. I want to take time off but then realize I don't have that much to take, so I just keep trudging in here.
Evie has movie night at school, it's just for the kids that sold so many items in the PTO fundraiser, but she's looking forward to it. And H and I can wrap her birthday present while she's out. I need to get prepared for her birthday party tomorrow, which is another reason I considered taking half day today, but again...lack of PTO.
So I will grab groceries on my lunch and Chipotle on the way home from work.

Morning!
I'm working from home today, and B has an appt with a Gastro right in the middle of the day. It's pouring rain here so that'll be fun.
Tomorrow the boys get their Covid shots. Woo hoo!!!!
Otherwise, just trying to get organized for S birthday. I have done less than nothing. Oh well.

Tgif. K has been home ALL week with a lingering cold. She's been to the doctor twice and said ears and lungs were clear, but she has a deep cough and she has a consistent 99.5 temp. Hopefully she will be better by next week, but I hope this isn't the norm for her and cold viruses...
We don't have sports this weekend for the first time in months, so I think we may try to go on a hike tomorrow. I also have a target date with my bff from high school. I have to go pick up J's new bike near her, so going to meet there.. I haven't seen her in like 2 years somehow🤯.

Morning. It's kinda a weird day because it would have been my 10th anniversary and is my sister's 5th anniversary. My mom and I are looking at a couple houses today.

wineallthetime I’m hoping you find the perfect house today, so that this date can get a new significance.

It took me awhile to stop remembering it would have been my anniversary after my divorce. It will happen eventually. Good luck house hunting today! |

I still think about my 1st wedding anniversary every year when it rolls by. This year would have been 20 years. And I think back about how much happier I am now than if I had stayed. I also do the same with his birthday. I think this is normal. |

Even with a holiday yesterday this week feels like 3 weeks long. I'm at the office today but once I'm done with a cranky patient this afternoon I think I'm going to leave and finish up at home.
It has been so depressingly dark and rainy here. We can safely say our drought has ended and now we are at flood risk. Getting dark at 4 is fucking depressing.

Then I have another pair that are at home and for traveling. |

Oh I would, but in my case it's not actually ear buds. I only use $2700 custom fit molds...aka hearing aids.  I have a Bluetooth device that allows me to sync my phone directly to my hearing aids. It's nice in that they are completely noise cancelling and not noticeable to others so I can completely ignore people while listening to music, but if I forget the device I'm SOL. |

T stayed home today because he was really washed out from his shot. Work is crazy, I had extra kids this morning and now this afternoon I have to take another class and give mine to someone else. They offered to pay me to skip lunch and I was like nope. I will also not be turning in my lesson plans today because no time. I also got a call that C bit a kid at school.

We celebrated A's birthday last night. I made BLT's, home made vanilla bean ice cream and black berry cobbler. I got him a nice bottle of bourbon and have my guy hunting down some good stuff for Christmas.
I scheduled the kids flu shots for tomorrow and got M's 8 year check up scheduled. Also made Zorro a grooming appointment. Just need to schedule my follow up for my doctor.

A few weeks ago we were talking about period panties. Someone was going to try the one they had and report back. Then they showed up in a magazine I was reading last night which made me look them up on Amazon. So...what are people using? The ones that are 'backup' or the more absorbent ones? And do you still use regular products with the more absorbent, which is what I'm leaning towards, for nighttime.

I have 3 and am going to order enough to last my whole cycle. I don't use anything else. On my heavy days I can wear one through the night and into the morning and then another all day. Once they are full I rinse with cold water in my utility sink until water runs clear and leave them there to dry until I'm off my cycle. Then I wash them on a delicate cycle by themselves and hang to dry. They don't stink. They're comfortable. I would size up though. I normally buy medium in underwear and I got large and they fit great. I literally just put them on because I just started. |

You know what really makes a person feel like shit...when the person you were hired to replace comes in to the office and everyone asks her when she's coming back.
Like, I know thats just something people say, but I was already having a bad afternoon talking to the lady who is a shitty trainer pointing out everything I've done incorrectly because she doesn't have time to properly train me.
Then I get home and Evie dropped my chipotle dinner on the kitchen floor, meaning no dinner for me. Which is actually fine because I'm not hungry.

I got a call from the surgeon’s office and they made me an appt for Tuesday afternoon. I have to bring a cd of my images with me. I had already emailed the request to the facility I had everything done. They said it takes 3-7 business days. Wtf?
Also when I called them yesterday, she left a message for someone at that location to call me back and no one ever did. The lady I talked to today said she doesn’t even see my request yet because it goes to admin first. She told me to cal back Monday. More than likely I’ll have to reschedule my appt though.
I’m pissed.

And they're all the way in the back of the drawer and I never tried them. Probably a waste of $30. |

I volunteer to try flex disc. Has anyone tried that? |

I talked to C about the biting. The other kid threw his crayons and that’s why he bit. After my talk, I asked what he can do next time and he replied “no bite, just fight”
