Almost Friday!

I don't know where the week has gone, but at least it's almost Friday! H is heading out of town to go fishing all weekend so I'm planning to catch-up on sleep and get some work done.
The house we were going to see last night has a pending offer, so nothing on that front. Hoping more start coming to the market now that the weather is (allegedly) going to get nicer.

Re: Almost Friday!
Chiquita's gut struck this morning and kiddo was feeling off and nauseated before school. I'm HOPING she can make it through.
I hear we may get spring for 48 hours this week!
This weekend is crazy. I have a wedding on Saturday at the venue I manage (and hate). We shall see how it goes. Then Sunday is our State Democratic Convention where we nominate Supreme Court Justices, Attorney General and Secretary of State. H has to be a candidate and give speeches to as many caucuses as possible. He has staff now who will man him for the day so I get to nerd out and just be a voter:). He's a bit jealous!
The AG race has become heated and no one really knows who is going to come out on top. We personally know (and love) one of the two top contenders and I really hope she comes out with the nomination but the mudslinging against her personally this week has been outrageous.
@kimmiinthemitten, GL to your contender!
Last night i went home and tried a copy cat version of The Cheesecake Factory's chicken maderia. results: get your chicken maderia from The Cheesecake Factory.
This weeekend is going to be weird for me. I had a falling out with someone over 5 years ago, over something stupid - but words were said and it ended a friendship. Last year she reached out and gave me the apology I was looking for and wanted me back in her life and she realized how much she missed me. We've been facebook friends for about a year now but she hasn't come back to Chicago yet. Well...she's coming this weekend. So I agreed to a lunch or dinner with her on Saturday. Thing is, I dislike her hubby and I'm sure he's coming with. I really wanted our "first lunch" together to be us but there's nothing I can do about that. She was supposed to come into town last summer with a girlfriend but it got canceled.
She also invited me out downtown after it. I was thinking I should just ease myself back into friendship with a lunch and a whole day's outing may be uncomfortable, especially after 5+ years, so I may decline. Maybe next time she's in town I'd be up for a whole day thing. Amirite? I think her H knows I'm not a fan.
Charmed - I would stick to just lunch as well. Ease back in slowly.
Charlotte - Glad you had your talk and H recognized his error.
Work will be busy the next two days, so hopefully that will help the day pass until 5 PM tomorrow! Prudie day will help today!
I'm giving blood tonight, but that's about it. I will offer H to come with me and he and DD can go to the kiddie section of the library where the blood drive is.
It's sunny and going to be above 70 today. And I went to the store and bought some food that I want to eat because I just couldn't face another day. And I wanted a fruity beer to go with the weather.
Prudie soon.
@TrixieJess Oh no, you're in the ice storm area!
This weekend is suppose to be absolutely crap weather, so M and I are taking advantage of it and getting stuff around the house done.
At least real spring weather is coming soon
I saw neighbours across from us tossing things similar to what we have, so if the garbage people take that today then in 2 weeks we're gonna start tossing some of our stuff out. {speakers previous owners left, boombox previous owners left, ikea desk that broke in the move .... }
Prenatal classes start tonight
Questionary at the mexican restaurant tonight, can't wait for steak fajitas.
@charlotte989875, hopefully more good houses soon! At least things got a little more worked out with your H as to how important communications need to be handled
. I also had a property I was interested in go under contract (I think) yesterday. It was just listed a few days ago, but was a great price for the rental potential, so I'm not surprised it's already "pending". I wish I could have been the one to jump right away, lol. But we have a lot going on and I would have barely/maybe been able to come up with the down payment. Really need to stop procrastinating on my cash-out refi loan so the next one doesn't slip through my fingers, lol.
@kimmiinthemitten, that does sound like an exciting weekend. Enjoy the State Democratic Convention. I remember you sent me a link to a funny commercial the AG candidate you all like aired. Good luck to her! And, of course, continued good luck to Mr. Mitten.
@CharmedPam, mmm...Cheesecake Factory. We finally got our first one here a few years ago. Though a local restaurant chain opened a similar concept a long time ago. They're good too. I agree with you and the other PPs that, for this first visit since the long ago "bad blood", you should keep it to just lunch. Especially since her H will be there and you don't care for him. Because then you'd be spending all day with him also.
I flaked last night and didn't go over to the next-door unit and do my share of the work. But tonight! For sure probably, lol. It actually depends a little on how I am feeling. I woke up with a horrible headache and felt a bit nauseous. But I had too much to do today at work, so I came in anyway. I took my "heavy duty" prescription medicine for headaches and am actually feeling much better now.
This is actually my "Friday". I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and took the day off, since Fridays are only half-days for me anyway. It's one of my "usual" 3x/year appointments with my endocrinologist. I'm also going to be one of "those" patients and tell him about the two medical conditions I think I have from Googling my symptoms. I'm sure doctors just love that, lol.
There are some paid ones, but my OB said there were a lot of free ones. When I was getting a new phone a few months ago, the lady was pregnant and idk how we got on the topic, but she said she did hers through the library.
Those are so popular omg!
Certain times of the year, they'll have leaf and tree trimming pick up and if you need to set something up {ie; diaper pick up} you have to call.
For us it's garbage and blue box {plastic + metal} one week, black box {paper} the next.
And mmmm fajitas
That sounds like our market; good properties at good prices go within a few days. We really have to be ready to jump, which is SO unnerving.
I did that about a year ago, with a super specific weird and random symptom, and I found the answer! I was elated, lol.
My symptom was it sometimes felt like there was a piece of string tied around the toe next to my big toe on my left foot.
I thought there was no way I'd find anything for something so specific and weird. I literally Googled something like "feels like string tied around toe", because there just wasn't another way to describe it.
But, ta-da! Apparently there is a ligament that runs between the 2nd and 3rd toe. And when it is aggravated, it feels like a string is tied around one of those toes. With further info that people who drive manual transmissions cars...me!...can experience this on their left foot from using the clutch.
No real suggestions for fixing it that weren't substantially more aggravating than the occasional bothersome sensation. But at least I knew what it was and that it was nothing concerning!
I looked it back up and it seemed like capsulitis was what I was finding. Neuroma is a possibility also, but that is usually more related to symptoms of "burning pain, tingling, and numbness". When it happens to me, it isn't painful or any of those other things, it's just a weird/odd sensation. Like there is a string or hair lightly wrapped around that toe, except nothing is there.
I was reading your post waiting for this answer to my question, lol.
There is a FANTASTIC restaurant in NOLA called Café Reconcile. It's a non-profit where at-risk youths receive job training in the restaurant trade. And in a foodie town like NOLA, there are tons of those kind of jobs available for people with experience.
And, while it's great they do such good work, the food is also delicious and reasonably priced! Primarily down-home Southern comfort foods. As such, the restaurant is super popular, primarily at lunch. If you show up at noon, expect a 30-60 minute wait, lol.
It's a GORGEOUS day. Max has his first soccer game tonight. I'm going to miss it to take 6let to practice, but that just means I get to run at the pretty little pond.
A few weeks ago I made an offhand comment to my small group that the only crosses in my house are in my kids' rooms. Today they gave me a thank you card with a gift card to the religious book store and another for Costco. It made my day. Maybe even the month. I was petrified to start this group, but almost two years later I can't imagine giving it up.
I wish I had warm weather. Not like 100 degrees, but warmer. I can't close my jacket lol
Wouldn't know though.
