Happy hump day!  

I was able to get away for a mani/pedi last night.  I love my nail person, and we are comfortable enough to chat away or not talk at all.  DH did fine at home.  His diuretics wear off in the early afternoon, so he doesn't have to make as many trips to the restroom afterward.

My supervisor is now on PTO for 2 weeks, so nothing regarding my request to wfh more regularly will be discussed until after she returns.

I ordered new glasses from Zenni this morning after returning the other pair.  The frames were just too dark.  I love the price, but miss trying it on in person.  I know Warby Parker will send some to you to try, and I might try them another time.

The weather is gorgeous right now, so I hope to spend some time outside tonight spreading fresh mulch.  That new layer really freshens things up.  I also need to bunny-proof my back garden.  Despite a fence, they are enjoying my hosta as a salad bar!

Happy belted birthday @ei34, hope you had a great day! Did the kids celebrate you? 

I'm glad you had a great birthday! @ei34

I hope your coffee puts in work for you today @charlotte989875. Healing vibes for J. 

Not too much to report today. I got influenced and bought this stupid hair gimmick called The Sleepy Tie. It actually kind of worked which is impressive considering I hate curling my hair. I do call BS on it being "so comfortable" to sleep in though. Maybe it's just because I sleep like a rotisserie chicken but I definitely felt it at night and it took me until this morning to find a comfortable position so I'm a little tired. H told me to try it again tonight but I think I'll opt for a good night's sleep instead and try it another time. 

One of my good friends invited me out for drinks on Saturday. I hope it works out. I haven't seen her in like almost 2 years so that would be fantastic. The only bummer is H will be dog sitting for my parents the rest of this week so I won't see him until Sunday. Oh well. Good thing we're not co-dependent lol. 

Wowza. Just wow @levioosa. I’m sorry you had to deal with this.

Ugh, it's hard functioning all day on so little sleep, good luck @charlotte989875.  What is the next step in baby J's diagnosis?

Yesterday was really nice.  The kids made me sweet cards.  The DDs also "snuck" a baggie of strawberries into my work lunch bag, with a bday post it note telling me to enjoy my favorite snack.  They're not quite old enough to do anything bigger, but my parents came over and took us out to dinner.  We have a ton of terrific restaurants locally, and I have a long list of places my mom friends have raved about that I've never tried, bc eating out isn't something I factor into my monthly budget, so it was a lot of fun trying a Mexican place.  I chose it bc I've heard the decor and music gives it a celebratory air (and I'd peeked at the menu and knew all three kids would be able to find something tasty), and it definitely delivered.  They sang a loud round of happy birthday with maracas and drums (and me in a huge sparkling sombrero) and the kids were thrilled.  I thanked my parents profusely for their generosity, it was definitely a ball, and the perfect kickoff to 42. 

Two Monday posts! 

Weekend was mostly good. Had to recertify my student loans. They increased by $800 wow so amazing. And when I finally get kicked off my plan it looks like my payments could be up to $4600 a month. Love that for me. Also loving that my degree isn't even "professional." A giant F U to this this administration. 

Otherwise we watched most of The Boroughs and did errands. Not too exciting. It was nice not to really go anywhere though. 

Happy Birthday @ei34!

Happy Birthday @ei34!  Nothing much new here.
