Oof, I'm glad it's the end of this week. I have a quite a bit of work, so the day should go by fast.

Tomorrow is my party and then visiting Mom on Sunday, nothing much else going on. The press reported that the tariffs are going to be pushed through next week, so I went ahead and bought the furniture I wanted for my move.

Lewis Hamilton is on the cover of Time with an interview, so I'll be buying that this weekend. Otherwise, no really big news. I'm sleepy this morning.

How's everyone else's weekend shaping up?

Hope you have a fun, celebratory weekend @VarunaTT !
Happy early birthday @levioosa hope your weekend has moments of relaxation and fun (and that your family doesn't stress you out!)

Have some grading to do today, and I might try to get some cleaning done too. PT early tomorrow and the kids have a swim meet late afternoon. Sunday will be the usual mix of mass, cooking and trying to get some relaxation in.

Boys start gymnastics tomorrow and i have to return a few dresses to Nordstrom that I bought for the gala we didn't go to. Haircuts and lunch for the boys on Sunday. Tonight I'm hoping they'll be occupied with a movie night bc i'm TIRED and don't want to do much.

I am starting to have some weird pain in my abdomen. I thought it was just from coughing so much but this morning getting dressed i tucked in my shirt and almost threw up because there was such a painful spot. Dont' think it's hernia, i can feel anything popping out. But probably need to get that checked out.

Still SO tired, so hoping to fly through things today at the office and go home for a nap before I pick up the kiddos.

Hope you have a nice time at your party @VarunaTT!

Happy birthday @levioosa! I hope it all goes smoothly for you and no one needs any medical care or advice!

Happy birthday @levioosa and have a great party @VarunaTT!

The 2nd to last fencing meet is this weekend and Chiquita wants to attend so she needs to be dropped off at 6 AM. I fully intend to come back and crash once she's dropped off!

Otherwise I'm looking forward to a weekend with more down time.

Happy birthday @levioosa!

I'm looking forward to the weekend. We're going to Charlotte (4 hr drive) tomorrow for a game and will spend the night. I've never been before, but it seems like an ok city to spend 24 hours in. The we have to get up early Sunday to get home for a planning meeting for the big hike that I'm 0% prepared for.

Hopefully get some sleep in there somewhere, but I doubt it.

Hi!!

Still unemployed, LOL. But I have two interviews next week and another one with a MAJOR company in mid-March (on that one, I've been in direct contact with the hiring manger and have an inside lady who's my eyes, ears, and champion networker). I'm feeling more hopeful that I have all month about finding a job. I feel like if I have a job, then I can feel like I can manage the dumpster fire that is this country and be a better activist/resistor than I currently am at the moment. I was telling my therapist that it's definitely a weird time to have an anxiety disorder, be unemployed, and a woman.

Baby is 7mos old now. He's sitting up and much more vocal. We gave the kids DefConn's old crib and got them a mattress, sheets, protector, etc. because he grew out of his bassinet. We see them 2-3 times a week. I hung out with him Tuesday and yesterday. We watched the Fox Hollow doc on Hulu, because never too early for true crime. Hehe

Seriously, if you haven't seen the doc and like true crime, I recommend watching it. I went to school in the area and used to drive by the house on my way to work in HS.

DH has a work trip next week. It will be weird since I'm not working, but I have the interviews and I'm setting up lunches with friends just to have something to do. I should do some house projects too, ha.

We just did DefConn's HS scheduling. We all had BIG feelings about it, even DefConn, which caught me off-guard since he's been big talk about how he's going to HS and all that. Once it became 'real', he freaked for a second (a totally me reaction).

I need to catch up. I do miss you guys. I've just begun to hate the computer because my job rn is to find a job and it feels like it's all I'm doing besides doomscrolling (a hobby I need to quit badly, LMAO). ((hugs)) everyone.

Happy birthday @levioosa!

levioosa · February 28

Thanks everyone! My family tried to schedule a family meeting on my birthday tomorrow to discuss grandparent care. I was like lol no, I tried last weekend when you were all in town and available and I got shot down. So I'm not going to inconvenience myself on my goddamn birthday when two of us would be facetiming in anyways. But the plans for the weekend are reasonably low key. Nails, gym and paint party tomorrow. Trying to decide if I want to make dinner or buy it. I kind of feel like we have been eating out a lot lately and also we're going on on Saturday so I'm not mad about making a nice meal (literally would be me cooking because no one else really knows how to cook. BIL tries and does okay but it's really me. SIL is moral support in the kitchen. H asked me how to slice a mushroom two days ago, lol). My biggest issue right now is I don't have a hankering for anything in particular.

Sunday we are going to a museum and a concert then a mini pub crawl for drinks and apps in our nearby college town. It might rain but I hope not. The town is so pretty that it's perfect for bumbling around on campus and the neighborhoods as well as the little downtown area and that would be really nice to do. Then it's probably an early-ish night and Monday is recovery before the week.

I came to work and the staff had decorated my office, given me flowers and gifts, and even made me fresh cupcakes/cake. So sweet. It feels nice to be appreciated and celebrated, even though the attention makes me a little uncomfortable. It was really nice and sweet of them.

@VarunaTT have a great time this weekend!

@mrsconn23 hearing that DefConn is entering high school even has me in the feels. Wow time flies!

CharmedPam · February 28

Happiest of birthday’s @levioosa! I hope you get a stress free day out of it!
@mrsconn23 I can only imagine what you’re going through right now. Ugh! Hopefully baby is slightly distracting you from this all.

I finally got a cleaning service in. She was a bit late, but nothing drastic. From what i’ve seen, she’s doing a great detailed job! I got a $20 discount for my 2nd service from the first one canceling on me, and I think I can request this person for the 2nd cleaning. My house smells delicious! Like a citrus fruit bowl!

DefConn is starting high school?

Happy Birthday @levioosa!!

@mrsconn23- high school?!?! M is starting kindergarten in the fall and I cannot believe it.

Work has been a nightmare this week. Working until 10:30-11 each night and back at it as soon as the boys are squared away. I *need* a break!

VarunaTT · February 28

So, I was just thinking about DefConn starting HS and, though she's not here anymore, I think 6fsn's kids have a high school and a driver. And I realized, I've been posting on The Knut since....2005/6ish? Almost 20 years? That's wild AF.

I squeezed in between you two. 2013!

ILoveBeachMusic · March 11

It looks like I'm the real newbie @ 2015.

levioosa · March 11

2014 but I was for sure lurking way before that. I was too scared to come to WW for a long time and hung out in Chit Chat.

Casadena · March 11

Chit Chat was so fun circa 2013-14! took me a while to migrate over here too
