Happy Monday!

STARMOON44

I am back from honestly the nicest break. So much birthday festivity and then a lovely week on the beach and the weekend at home to just chill and unpack. It’s a cool rainy morning here which is just perfect and it’s making me have September thoughts. I hate the heat and I’m always kinda lazy in July and August and then looking forward to doing more in September. My dance teacher got fired and it’s been a whole drama although I’m still dancing with him so hoping I’ll use that to fuel some dance exploration in the new school year.

Glad you had a good break @STARMOON44.  Beach days sound lovely.  We have dreary weather here too.
 

Weekend was so low key.  I did end up seeing Haunted Mansion again, in laser vision… which turned out to be nothing special.  On my way back, stopped off at Marshalls and scored some really good clearance items in the beauty section.  

We have key cards to enter our office now.  After 12 years of just a normal key, and leaving it open all day long to go in and out of - we now need a card to get in.  Guess who keeps forgetting her card?
this girl!

Glad you had a nice getaway! 

I had such a fun weekend and I'm sad it's Monday already. Had a family party on Saturday and got to hang with my nephew. Perfect day yesterday of mowing the lawn and floating in the pool.

Weekend was a mixed bag.  I saw Theater Camp (it's just alright, I wouldn't spend $ to see it on big screen) and Spirited Away (still as amazing as ever).  I was highly annoyed by my mother and told her she was going to have to get a grip on things.  I'm trying to give her grace as we keep getting close to the anniversary of dad's death and just all of the changes and her age; also no, I am not dropping everything to run to the house because you can't access the newspaper from your computer, and no, you don't get to act like a petulant child because of it.  We snipped at each other pretty badly, but I stood my ground.  She seems to be okay now, but I am very tired of some things.  Otherwise, it was good.  I've been trying to make myself read instead of watching the same TV comfort shows over and over and I've enjoyed that.

I have my first appointment to start the ADHD testing process today.  And they sent me a 34 TASK CHECK IN document, which had multiple questions and signatures to fill out.  I was so annoyed.

Otherwise, SSDD.  Just trying to keep up at work.

@STARMOON44, I'm glad you had a great vacation!  I also like having at least one extra day at home to decompress after being out of town.

Got some stuff done around the house over the weekend.  Nothing much more than that, but that was okay.  I enjoyed the relaxation.

I had a 10-day stall on my weight loss that I finally pushed past Saturday morning.  That perked my spirits!

Your vacation sounds great @STARMOON44.

Trying to deal with boring work assignments and casting a play. Everyone in the theater company pretty much ignored the notice for roles when the date of the performance was first announced and now, one week before the performance, they all want only the biggest parts. I was able to cast those parts in the meantime but some people who I hadn't heard from earlier are copping entitled attitudes about parts. Some of them (who do have diva personalities) actually went so far as to say they were not interested in any other parts. So much for teamwork and backing each other up. I decided that I will not volunteer to be the playmaster for this theater company any time again soon. Sigh.

Hopefully only a couple more days before G can go back to school. We all need it for sure - those steroids mess with his sleep like crazy and i'm very excited to sleep in my bed and not on G's bedroom floor soon.

H was in the ER last Thursday night for stuff related to his ulcerative colitis. He had a follow up with his GI yesterday and is scheduled for both upper scope and colonoscopy next month but seems to feel better with meds. I did go to my hair appointment on Friday and it was really nice to see my friend. Coincidentally another good friend that i haven't seen in forever had the appointment after me so i got to catch up with her for a bit too!

My parents were visiting and H was feeling good so we ended up getting to go the Cubs game Saturday that we were on the fence about. It was nice to get out of the house and we were home in time to help with meds and bedtime. 

Im tired.
