Here comes the sun.

mrsconn23 · February 2014

It's so nice and sunny out today. It was wonderful to see it getting light out as I dropped off DefConn at the sitter. It's usually dark until I start work...Spring is around the corner.

DH has his 'big' meeting with his regional. He couldn't get any salary numbers from the guy, but May is the line in the sand to stay or go. ::sigh:: We had a heated discussion about it last night. I'm more afraid of going and he's more afraid of staying. Neither of us are wrong, we just need to find a compromise that will make us both happy. And then he got some news about an opportunity here. So, time go take another spin on this effing roller coaster we're on. And DH is meeting with a headhunter friend tonight.

DefConn has had a cough for a few days. It's only bad at night. Last night, he was having a spell and I went to check on him, like I have for the past few nights, and he said, "I'm OK mommy. Don't worry." Gah.

Between DefConn coughing and the relocation/job situation stress, I am not sleeping well. I also have been staying up too late watching Olympics. Bah. I may need to make an extra pot of coffee this morning.

No sun yet. I'm annoyed at my sister and mom for stupid stuff I need to get over.

I'm taking 6let to preschool, signing the granite contract, and renewing the Costco membership. I have a long list of Costco stuff to buy.

This weekend we managed to pick lighting, backsplash, paint, and decide to go ahead and do a new microwave. Yay.

6--I cannot wait to see pics of your kitchen when it's done!!

Sorry your mom and sister have annoyed you. I hate it when I'm irritated with my mom and/or my sisters.

It's sunny here! 28* feels like 18*. I'll take it.

VarunaTT · February 2014

I'm very stressed. I have some idea on how to deal with it and the like, but it's starting to take it's toll. Nightmares are back and I haven't had those since graduate school, it's like a big slap in my face from my brain and body when that starts happening.

I'm ready for some sunshine. I'm thinking about joining an out-of-town trivia night with a bunch of friends on Tuesday night, drinking, sleeping in and coming back on Wednesday, my birthday. I could use the break, but I'm reluctant to use my vacation for some reason.

It was supposedly in the high 60s here yesterday, but I was inside all day, and by the time I got out, it was kinda chilly. This morning, it was cold and my car was completely coated in ice, so... yeah. Weather.

I'm debating quitting my job because of some shady shit, but I've agreed to hang around at least another three months to see if some changes are enacted out of respect for my charge nurse. Another nurse and our clinic manager have both quit and their last days are 2/28, so we're kinda SOL on the staffing thing, as if it wasn't already bad enough. Sigh. I really don't want to work like 60 hour weeks again .

dharmabunny · February 2014

It's supposed to be relatively warm and sunny today. May go take a walk outside. I think too much inside has been screwing around with my brain.

Ewww @juche, the 60 hr workweek! And that's all I have to say about that...in a public forum

**O-Face** · February 2014

Man, sounds like there is a lot of fckery afoot around these here parts.

The sun is indeed out today, and in fact I think it's supposed to be nice. I'll be suiting up after work for a run, hoping to get back before the sun sets, and the water freezes again. I do not need any broken bones.

H's gma got the results of her bone marrow biopsy and it's some sort of myelodisplastic syndrome. She'll get chemo 1 week a month and also transfusions, so I hope that helps her feel better and less bruising. It's just strange because it came out of nowhere.

V, I was feeling the stress from work for about two months. My blood pressure was high and I didn't have energy to do much of anything. Thankfully, I've worked on lowering my stress level and feeling like my old self again.

I hope you start feeling better soon.

mrsconn23 · February 2014

Boo Juche!! That sucks.

VarunaTT · February 2014

NOLA, the part that sucks is that it's my social group. Basically, I'm being harassed by a crazy member. Latest complaint involved calling me Hitler (this is after Queen of Everything, refusing to have anything to do with anything I do). I think that sort of name-calling is just so inappropriate that it's grounds for revoking her membership. (There are 4 other board members in addition to me...3/4 stand with me that I've done nothing to deserve this, 1 is crazy member's mouthpiece).

This is supposed to be fun for me I knew running for president I'd have criticism sent my way, and I promised myself that as long as I still had more fun than stress, I'd tough it out; but this is above and beyond what any should have to take. She is, for all intents and purposes, harassing and bullying me and has been since about June.

She's mad right now b/c I laid down rules for speaking at the open board meeting. They're based off of City Council rules and they're not onerous or inappropriate.

**O-Face** · February 2014

That same person is bothering you STILL, Varuna?! *blinks*

Girl needs a real hobby.

VarunaTT · February 2014

Yeah, she is. I had a long talk with a good friend with some experience and training in similar situations last night and he really helped me face some things about this. He said, you're being harassed and you're acting like the victim of harassment (trying to understand why b/c then I can figure out what I can do to change it...well, I can't change it, she's going to do this no matter what I do. It's illogical and doesn't make sense. That's why it's harassment). And he's right.

The question now is what to do.

**O-Face** · February 2014

Yes. Your friend is correct. Do not rationalize the irrational. She be crazy. You just happen to be the one in her sites. Doesn't make it right, but now....I suppose you could document etc if it gets REALLY serious.

VarunaTT · February 2014

She's had this same behavior with past presidents (complaint e-mails stretch back to 2011), but she's escalated with me for some reason. My friend is awesome, b/c while giving good advice, he also lifted my spirits. He said, 'Varuna, you're just a little too smart, a little too good at arguing, a little too likeable and a little too pretty for her to handle". It made me laugh.

6fsn · February 2014

That sucks V. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this.

The granite contract is signed and the cabinets are on the delivery truck!! I went to Costco and picked up paper plates/bowls, plastic silverware, paper towels, convenience foods and a bunch of disposable crap. I think the planet cried a little.

jojobrn · February 2014

Awesome 6! I think the kitchen at my sister's place is next up around me, I love picking finishes and such out. Can't wait to see pics of your new kitchen.

We had a busy but relaxing weekend. Went to a first birthday party for baby girl's bohyfrend. Commiserated with his momma about in laws who are normal losing their composure in light of a busy day. Especially bad because her mom got snowed in and couldn't make it. But a great party for the littles.

Sunday was church, breakfast and wine club pick up and tastings. Steak on the grill for dinner.

Yesterday was a lazy day at home, pushing laundry through, picking up, etc. Then we grilled hit did for dinner and played new games, King of Tokyo and Rampage. I didn't get in on King as I was getting the baby to bed, but Rampage was hilarity!

Here comes the sun.
