Got the big coffee cup out for today.
Yesterday I spent around 10 hours cleaning, cooking and doing laundry. I put so many things away. I had over 16k steps and 48 flights of stairs. Plus I don’t put my fit bit on until after 9.
More training on SharePoint today (I’m updated the site for our system admins), going through the kids outdoor clothing, finishing up laundry, signing up for fabfitfun box, and starting to clean and organize the basement.
I have a ton of returns as well. I’ll see if I have motivation tonight.

I had my decaf Paris tea. It’s precipitating. It’s not snow and not fog, but something in between rain and those things. I need to make some lists.

I've got a cup of coffee with cream and sugar and I'm watching C play in the basement. It's -30C (-22F) this morning, our first real deep freeze of the year. I'm glad MH likes doing the walk to school with L 🥶

I’m on day 5 of my conference and losing steam. I need more water and alone time. I’m peopled out.

Guys. Guys. I finally, after weeks of trying, got ahold of the Chobani peppermint mocha creamer. It did not disappoint. Glad I picked up 2!
I took an education day today so I’m doing CEs in my sweatpants. Also just realized the house cleaner is coming tomorrow, so I have some picking up to do. I took tomorrow and Wednesday off bc I have a couple of appointments and M is going to the dentist, so yay for a two day work week.
Also, Eliza had her first private training session Saturday, and she is doing so great not pulling my arm off on walks. M was with me and we did some work with her as well. Looking forward to some training sessions with the whole family coming up, bc J really needs to get involved as well.

I have several appointments over the next couple of weeks that are 1. Anxiety-inducing and 2. Will put me behind at work. Also MH will be gone this week. Bleh.
However, I’m happy that my Christmas shopping is officially done!

I had coffee on the go this morning for bus stop and preschool drop off. Ran a couple errands, walked the dogs and now am supervising their rumpus time. Signed up kids for swimming lessons- really looking forward to M turning 5 soon so they can be in the same class for future sessions. Going twice a week is annoying AF and logistically challenging. I'm kind of hoping they bump her up for me once they see how well she can swim. First I have to make sure she will get in the damn pool 🙄
This week is really busy and full of appointments and things. I have hello fresh meals so I won't forget to make dinners. Some great weather days so hoping to be outside a lot!!

Had a lavazza latte topped with pumpkin whipped cream this morning, not exactly Christmas festive but still delicious.
Working (blahh) and taking the dog to the vet today. Really need to get groceries and figure out the last of the Christmas presents.

I'm back to black coffee after a weekend with Runamok's cinnamon vanilla maple syrup (soooo good).
We're still behind here at work, but we're moving forward slowly. It's a two steps forward one step back situation. And orders just keep rolling in. It's crazy pants.

We got drive through coffee on the way to the chiropractor this morning but I’m going to make another one in a while.
It’s super wet and drizzly outside today. All of the snow we got over the weekend is melting and it’s gross and yucky- we didn’t last long outside. We’re staying home and cleaning, snuggling and filling the gaps with books and crafts.

First cup was Starbucks Pike Place roast with French Vanilla creamer and second cup was with cream and sugar.
We do light homeschooling in December so we're already done for the day, and L has her 2nd covid shot this afternoon. It's cold and foggy outside so I'm happily planted on the couch while the kids are happily playing together. Let's see how long this all lasts!

I got myself some of my favorite toffee caramel vanilla creamer, so I had that in my coffee today. And boy was it needed. I had my appointment with the denturist today, which was blessedly short, because before I left W was just losing her marbles and only wanted me, not dad at all. I went to the store after and came home and she was still wanting me, and on top of that F was whining non stop. We really need to figure out what his deal is because it's almost constant these days and just sets my nerves on edge. Managed to get some work done in between meltdowns so I'm going to call it a win-ish

Registered for my trial weeks of yoga. I have a class tomorrow at noon. I should probably call and ask if I need to bring a mat..

Woke up with a mega tension headache again. I blame the pillow or maybe lingering inflammation + the pillow. I dunno. One cup of coffee with maple syrup, some water and toast, with a side of Ibuprofen.
Started with a new client today, and signed up another site next week. I really hope this momentum continues because I like how everything is coming together, schedule-wise and income-wise.
A' has oral surgery tomorrow, so praying that goes smoothly. S will be taking her, so I have a little less stress about it knowing he'll be there with her (he handles these things really well and I'm a worry wart). Gotta wake her up in the middle of the night to shove some food (applesauce and water) in her since she can't eat or drink anything after 2am for her 8am surgery.

I'm not exactly sure what put me in a foul mood tonight. However, my instant mocha cappuccino with eggnog is just what I needed. A hug in a mug ❤

rugger hugs for A today! Let us know how she does. And I k ow what you mean about yh being a calmer and more rational parent for things like that. But as a control freak, I still have to be there, knowing I’m going to be a wreck lol. It’s bad for everyone involved. I have issues. I hope you are feeling better today. I’m sorry you had such a rough time with the Booster.

rugger, glad A did well. Are you still feeling your booster? Edit: This is random, but my kids do an on-line music program. The teacher is in VA so every now and then I wonder if you or rhymeswithdisco know her IRL. Know anyone back there who probably lives life as in a musical LOL?

She lived right down the way from rugger and rhymeswithdisco. She has taught in many different schools in the area. She might know her.

Booster and flu shot done.
Both arms were sore last night and I woke up with a minor headache. I have a bad feeling it was due to sinus issues and I should stick with my allergy meds.
Kids are getting there second tonight at 5:15. I may have promised a laser tag get-together for the 8 year old.

Had to sleep on my back because both arms were sore last night and woke up super thirsty and had a dull headache. Tylenol took care of that, thank goodness! Hope you're feeling a little better! I need to come up with a good bribe for mine for shot 2 bc I do not want to repeat the shitshow that was shot 1. G seems to remember that it was NBD but L is already worrying about it.

Okay, I was thinking this morning and last night that water was super delicious. Thought I just didn’t drink enough during the day. I did show the 8 year old my bandaids last night and he was pretty impressed.
