Wednesday/Hump Day
in Wedding Woes
Good morning, WW! What's shakin'?
DS and I were running errands while Wooz was at art, and I shut his finger in the car door.
To be fair, it wasn't carelessness--he reached in for something at the last second, after I had already let go. Tried to grab it, but I didn't catch it in time. Broke the skin at the cuticle, so I think he was more upset about the blood than anything. We've been keeping an eye on it, and I think it's okay. He doesn't seem to be favoring it, and it's not swollen.
Wooz has spring picture day today, and almost missed the bus because she was futzing with her hair. Then DH and I had DS's parent-teacher conference, which reaffirmed that he's more of a scholar than an athlete. I'm okay with that. Apparently he and one of the little girls in his class are sweet on each other, which is hilarious.
We're halfway through the week. One of my colleagues is retiring Friday, so we're making plans to take him out to lunch. He gets to pick, so I hope he chooses someplace good.

Re: Wednesday/Hump Day
I'm shirking my responsibilities today and showing a documentary in my morning class. I'm sure they will be heartbroken. For the record it's related to the course and they will use it in a simulation next week. Other than that just working on project and giving a presentation this weekend on the federal court system for a community engagement workshop.
I worked a little backshift last night, and DH waited up for me so he could at least give me a goodnight kiss. He's so sweet. We're both tired today, and I am highly unmotivated. I think I'm just burned out more than anything. After Friday, things should slow down a little, but they won't be back to normal til the week after next.
Almost there...
I met the baby last night, and he was the most precious thing I've ever seen. He's teeny tiny and so snuggly and sweet. Any day I get to snuggle someone else's baby is a good day.
Not much going on here today. Jackie has let me sleep for the last 2 nights and doesn't seem to be having any more tummy troubles. She must have just eaten something outside or had a little virus over the weekend.
I need to do a little cleaning tonight. My best friend is coming in from Connecticut on Friday and I don't want her to leave my house covered in dog hair
H's damn dog ate Mouse's snack off the table while Mouse was checking in on Norah. I smacked the dog and hit my hand wrong busting a blood vessel in my finger. It's black and blue today and hurts to bend it.
Other than that, SSDD.
@charlotte989875, that's funny about your dog! Ours will whine at the bed during some BCBC time too. lol
We tried to get our taxes done during my lunch hour yesterday, but it was just to complex, and I have apt #2 on Friday with them. Last night DH picked me up from work, and since it was 1/2 off movie night I agreed to Power Rangers (I'll pay $6.00 for it. Not $12.00). It was as cheesy as the TV show. I slept through some of it. Nacho's were good.
Tonight I'm going to Cirque d'or with a friend. I bought tickets awhile ago for DH and I, but he's working so I'm taking a friend of mine. Should be fun.
edit: at first I read "turned it on himself" as "he turned himself in" - which would have been a better outcome. Sometimes I read to fast.
Horrible situation.
Today H and I are working from home because we have baby appointments with the OB and specialists at the hospital this afternoon. I'm nervous because I just want everything to be okay with our baby girl. Whenever I WFH it's usually super quiet - but this morning has been pretty hectic which is good because it's helping me keep my mind off of things.
Side note - do any of you watch Trial and Error - the new show with Jonathan Lithgow? I started watching it because it was on right after This Is Us, and now I am hooked. It's hysterical.
My boss is in Vegas on vacation with his family. He and I have been working via email since 6. I can't wait for his wife to wake up so I can go clean.
scary about your son's neighbor @DrillSergeantCat
I'm liking these 2 days off in a row stuff. Today we have an exciting day of laundry, depositing rent and making a Costco run (which is over an hour away).
WooHoo! Exciting I tell you. At least it's cloudy and rainy so I don't feel bad for not being outside.
Tonight we are taking the F&B staff from the club bowling for an end of the season party. They closed on Sunday and will not open again until Mid-May. Except for Easter. They are making him open up for Easter (so stupid). DH has a life of leisure the next 6 weeks. He has to pop-in and get his staff lined up for the summer. Create new menus, etc. But for the most part the most he will only work a few half days a week until we go away at the end of April.
FL job update - DH talked to the HH. Apparently, one of DH's best friends and a chef he worked under a few times called the head hunter interested in the FL job. The job isn't even posted yet. DH was talking to him about the job (they talk all the time about opportunities) and he contacted the HH.
J really wants out of where he is. His wife's family is from FL. He is reminding DH how he has a great gig here in CO, blah, blah. Basically wanting DH to back down so he might have a chance. DH isn't backing down though. If anything he is more motivated. I think J is jealous of DH's success a little. DH was his #2 for many years. J didn't think DH was ready to be an exec chef. When J left the islands he thought DH would come with him, again. But instead he stayed and got the exec chef job J left. While J hates his current job, he is successfully (been written up in magazines and stuff), he did have about 3 years of some hard times. He isn't the easiest chef to work with. When DH was let go of the NOLA job, J interviewed to take DH's position. He didn't get the job, but it was odd he even tried after DH was let go. Anyway, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
All pride, all the time right now. I've got a big push and then things will quiet down a wee bit again, to pick back up in May. I've got a big problem on my committee and I'm having to pull in a lot of people on the correct way to deal with it. My style is "cut out the cancer" and push the problem out; that might not be the best thing for the community and committee though, so I'm trying to get input before acting.
Work is getting a wee bit complicated, but I'm trying to grab control of that too.
Whew...is it June 25 yet?
@thefanciestbeckler I think the dog hair might be inevitable
@DrillSergeantCat That's scary and sad
@sparklepants41 I'm sure everything is fine
@VarunaTT It's not even April yet :P
Urg ... so Monday afternoon I felt sick. Ended up getting M to pick me up because I wasn't sure I'd make it on the bus {stop-and-go gives me motion sickness}
Thankfully he did, because I was sick at work. {yes made it to bathroom....} but it was pasta sauce. So the all-mighty burn of acid commences! I basically had nothing to eat and went to bed early. Felt queezy all friggen night so didn't go to work yesterday. Slept most of the morning.
I hate being home when M is! It's so bloody irritating. I feel like he should be doing more.
Of course, he did nothing yesterday and now he's sick {not stomach bug - might be flu}
I got my spray, so I've used it a couple times. I already feel the reduction on pressure. It's not gone, but significantly reduced
Also I need to get things set up for this weekend. Saturday I'm doing a DIY video about flowers in a jar, like this:
Well most stores sell that for like $15 and I can make it for far less and more personalized
So if anyone wants a link to my youtube channel when the video is done, let me know! I don't want people to think I'm just pimping out my channel
The new Boston foster dog keeps nipping and lunging at me when I try to pet her and then she curls up in my lap or snuggles under the covers with me. WHAT DO YOU WANT, FOSTER DOG?!
My drivers license expires this week and I am so excited to finally get rid of the God awful pic I have had for the past 6 years.
@6fsn I'll have to catch up on it.
However, we can't even hug each other anymore without Twiggy wanting to be part of the mix. We have to do such things in places like the closet or the pantry, or quick ninja-hugs because he's a total suckbucket and jumps on us for a hug, too.
Other night, I went to go get a drink and Angel was waiting just around the corner of the couch. I was like "Uhm ... thanks for waiting over there?"
With an ex, we were in his bed and his cat hopped up on the bed. I laughed but he just shoved the cat away {the cat was coming over to see what was happening} and the cat walked away. LMFAO
