I almost didn't want to start the Wednesday post because my life is boring right now and I don't have much to say, lol.

The sewer line (finally) got replaced yesterday.  Supposedly, the SW&B is coming back today to fill dirt back into the enormous hole that used to be the front yard.  But I don't trust them to do anything they say they will, so we shall see.

For another update on my flight debacle.  When I got home, my H pointed out that if they are no longer flying non-stop between NOLA and NYC, then that might have screwed up our flight back to NOLA also.  Sure enough, in the 2-3 hours since I had last checked my e-mail, there was now a notice that our return flight had been "rescheduled" also.  Also with really stupid times.

But, other than adding on 2-3 hours to each flight, I changed both of those flights last night to much better times than what they had automatically put us in.  To give a little bit of props to Southwest, they did make it surprisingly easy to do.  There was a special link in each e-mail.  When I clicked on it, I went to a page where all I needed to enter was my original confirmation number and my name.  When I clicked to the next page, it had all the flights I could chose from on that date...it looked like there was even an option to pick a different date...I chose the one I wanted.  Confirmed it.  And done.  It was changed.  Since I had originally booked my H's flight with mine, it automatically changed his flights also.

Re: Wednesday

  • FX no more changes @short+sassy, sw is super easy to book ‘n rebook too. I like their easy to use app.
    @ILoveBeachMusic, where is H going? Sounds like a nice send off

    SSDD for me too. Nothing going on. I used semi-new shoes today on my treadmill, and the bottom of my feet are all blistered.  I have a fairly good padded sandal on but will probably head to walmart over lunch for some foot wraps.  I can’t even walk they’re blistered up so bad! Any recommendations? And I don’t run on the treadmill.  It’s a 3.5 speed walk!

  • Good luck with the hole @short+sassy. Glad you were able to get your flights sorted.

    I was able to go to lunch with a couple girlfriends today and I still full. Everything was delicious and it was so nice to catch up with them.

    Then DH and I had a meeting with an investment firm and it went okay. It is just kind of deflating because we have been saving for so long and it barely meets their minimum. But it feels like something we should/ have to do. I know we could do it ourselves but... reasons. 
  • A few things!

    BK pooped on the floor again, but that's a progress. Yesterday M got her on potty to at least have 1 small poop in it. So she got a sticker and flush. Official poops she'll get a prize and sticker {poops are often more difficult}
    But we had a pee! On the potty!

    And BK is going to preschool!!
    I heard back this morning and I'm so stoked!
    I'm now purchasing her labels for her stuff lol

    It's just a good month :)

    H is on the Board of Trustees for his undergraduate college. They have their first in person meeting since pre-pandemic this weekend. Then he is going to visit with his 97 year old father. When he returns home, I will be in Chicago with DD and her family.
  • @CharmedPam - I have these and really like them:

    Thanks @MNNEBride! I have realized the shoes I have been walking in - are not walking shoes. Those come in lots of pretty colors too.  Navy blazer is what I like but they don’t come in 12’s 😢 curses my big feet! Curses!
    edit: found these on shoes .com (its not navy blazer) for 25% off, plus another 4% for raketen and another 3% for cc categories.  Excited to try these.  They’ll take longer than amazon would have, but money.

    now to fix the matter at hand… should I go buy some maxipads and put them in my socks for cushion? Seems like foot wraps wont have enough relief 

  • Well, my day started off annoying. I'm really over flakey friends right now. I have a friend group that has been trying to plan a get together all summer. My friend T had originally offered to host something in June, but she cancelled last minute and rescheduled to this coming weekend. Today, she just cancelled again. (This isn't new for her, but it's more frequent than normal.) The whole thing irritates me because T complains that she always has to drive and no one comes to her house, but this stuff is why we don't like making plans that involve her hosting. 

    Anyway, so I'm debating whether it would be bitchy to offer to host anyone who is still available, or if I should just invite myself to my mom's pool. 

    Nothing much else going on today. Women's soccer started their Olympics tournament this morning, and it did not go well for the US. Next game is Saturday.

    @MyNameIsNot how annoying! I would say invite friends over to your place if you're up for hosting

    Hope the blisters begin to improve @CharmedPam!  Ugh sorry about the flakiness @MyNameIsNot . Yay for the potty progress @MissKittyDanger  and congrats on preschool too. I know you’ve been eager to buy those sticky labels lol so enjoy that!  I actually just got an alert from Stickerkid.com that they’re running 25% off today with the code EARLY

    Had an early morning gyno appointment.  I love her so much and wish I saw her her more than once a year. Brought the kids to a nearby-ish park
    that has a more unique playground, a nice nature walk and a Farmer’s Market on Wednesday’s.  We made it back to the car before the sky opened up. Now just enjoying the sound of rain.
  • I wish I had waited until after lunch to read the potty updates..haha. 

    Ha. Same. 

    Oops! Sorry lmao

    Flooring - is something like this way too thin/cheap? I see a lot of different thicknesses but not sure what really matters

    I remember ours is pretty thin but 3 mm is really thin. I'm not familiar with this brand. Ours is Shaw. I just went and checked ours - it is 4mm so not a lot thicker than that. It really surprised me how thin it was when we got it but once it is down you really can't tell.

    I like the look of that floor!  And $1.29/sq ft seems like a great price for waterproof.  Though the last time I was shopping for LVP was two years ago.

    I don't remember the thickness we put in our rentals.  I'll try to remember to ask my H tonight or find the order page.  I found my receipt for that flooring, but not the order page it was attached to, which (probably) would have those details.

    Here’s what I have in my kitchen.
    a tiny corner chipped on it already and it’s 6.5 mm.  I have extra boards but I think filling in the chip makes more sense, they don’t seem like boards that come out very easily since they interlock.

  • I'm just exhausted today. 

    This book is really making me re-examine my drinking habits and my opinions on alcohol.  I'm only 4 chapters in and I feel like I've underlined half of the danged book!

    Nothing new or exciting to report.
