Congrats on the promising interviews @mrsconn23

Sort-of long meeting after work, and the kids are all in the district Choral Night this evening, will make today feel longer than usual.  But everyone is well so no complaints.

Bedtime was smoother last night so fingers crossed it was just weekend craziness. 

I'm reading Cher's memoir for book club next week and I'm really enjoying it - would recommend if anyone is a big Cher fan or generally enjoys that genre. I knew she had a very interesting life but definitely not all the details. 

Still just so tired and i'm not sure why. I think i'm getting my period even though I had it 2 weeks ago and i'm supposed to have my annual gyn appointment tomorrow but probably need to call and move it. I absolutely hate being on BC but the unpredictability is also frustrating. 

Hoping for a chill work day to catch up on some lingering projects.

I woke up at 1:30 and haven’t gone back to bed yet. No, I’m not even tired. I was sick all weekend and self medicated myself. I felt loopy then. I didn’t take anything with Dextromethorphan until early this morning and found out I’m suuuuuuper sensitive to it. ONE dose and I’m loopy again. It works because it has stopped my sore throat, but I feel high and hate that feeling.
i also got facial threads last night to help my perioal mounds and I don’t think it helped. It hurts and I can’t eat. It’s supposed to be instant and they’re still there. I think I’ve done all non surgical options. 

Edit; words, ‘cus I’m all doped up

I was feeling off last night and super tired...and then for some reason I was restless until DH came to bed.  I'm not sure if any of you old married ladies are like this but there's something about my body that I'm unsettled until he's there.  I don't like to think of it as codependent but I think there must be something in my overall biorhythm.  I also have a looming issue for work with a customer that bothered me at the end of the day so I think I slept particularly poorly and now I'm working to figure out if I owe a credit or a long-winded explanation - neither of which are fun.

To add to it, Chiquita has a tendency to not know her venue.  By that I mean she can escalate a conversation and not know when what she's saying is inappropriate or she can do things like decide that right at bedtime it's when she should do the Irish jib (these are real life situations).  Today I got a call from the HS principal that she has a lunch detention as she needs to work on a situation in her science class.  I'm sad because this is such a story for her and she works on finding her 'fit' in groups.  I nearly burst into tears because I don't think she has malicious intent and I have to assume that at 14 her body itself is in 'do first think second' mode.

Oh and my company announced that there is a big change that just happened so I'm hoping that all is good.

I think the state of the world is making me feel unsettled. Finally feeling a bit better after my Covid + Flu vaccine on Sunday. Although my arm still hurts. 

All the good vibes for the interviews @mrsconn23! It’s such a hard time to be searching. H is looking (he’s seeing some writing on the wall at his job and wants to get ahead of it) and it’s so tough.

Sending you good interview vibes! @mrsconn23

Ugh, @charmedpam nothing is worse than a painful procedure that doesn't even give results. I hope once the swelling and discomfort go down you notice a difference. And I hope you feel better! 

Weekend was mostly good. I was in kind of a funk the whole time. I had a really funky dream Saturday morning which just kind of set the tone for my whole weekend. It was pretty obvious why I had the dream, and it doesn't take a psychologist to figure out the meaning. I knew my Grandparents weren't doing well and I tried my best to just take a break but it was kind of just in the back of my mind. I had this overwhelming dread feeling that maybe my grandfather passed away and no one wanted to tell me, but then I couldn't decide if contacting them was worse or just letting it be. Yesterday I called and no answer, then I talked to my mom who didn't ask me about my birthday, she did update that Grandpa is still with us, and then she started crying and I spent the better part of an hour comforting her, which, I get, but it was a huge emotionally draining end to the weekend as well. 

But on Sunday we were able to go to the concert, and then to my favorite restaurant in the college town. I got some fish tacos which were superb and I can't wait to go get those again. The concert was nice, I think it was an appropriate length for the people I went with (an hour) and it was a beautiful day until about 4 pm when it got super cold and windy and then it poured, but tbh I didn't mind that either. We didn't quite make it to the museum but that's okay. We were all feeling really tired from the week and I think the weekend overall was nice. I spent most of yesterday catching up on sleep, and then it's back to the grind today. I also started a shitty book but it's the good kind of mindless shitty book. lol.

Today's interview went well.  We'll see.  I have two more this week.  

My sleep has been so inconsistent lately.  I mean...we are living in the dumpster fire of times. I've lost over 20lbs due to straight up stress since I was laid off.  Tomorrow will be the 6mos mark and I have feelings about it.  

SSDD otherwise.  It is really nice today, so we opened our windows.
