Thursday
in Wedding Woes
Today is going sooo... slowly. Tomorrow will be even worse.
I'm tired AF and trying hard to focus on work. Vacationitis is in full effect.
Prudie coming up.

Re: Thursday
H's friend didn't show until 11:30 last night! I was asleep already, they managed to be quiet throughout the night and when I woke up for my workout at 5:50 they were JUST going to bed. I was very happy I didn't have to interact with him. I think he wants to stay tonight too but H either has to work tomorrow or do his annual exams to determine if he's still employed for another year. As his mother figure, I will ban him from doing another all nighter because I'm sure he won't realize how important sleep is for that.
It's raining here and gloomy and matching my mood.
Aurora has her annual vet check up today. Then gym, homework, and we have to film a “creative video” for our other stupid class. It’s a good thing the weekend is coming up because I need some drinks.
It’s almost vacation time mrsconn!
DH is helping to pack his parents' moving truck today. I'm envisioning a somewhat hectic weekend:
-Tonight: plan is to drive filled moving truck and leave things up here. Not sure how dinner will work.
-Tomorrow MIL and FIL close & most likely sleep in a hotel but we're not sure.
-Saturday DH helps FIL at the new place with carpet shampooing and possibly unloading stuff.
-Sunday, DH and my dad along with other people help unload the truck.
In the meantime I'll be entertaining the kiddos, possibly bring my MIL food because she's having oral surgery the same day as the closing (not her choice - only availability Dr. had) and I'm *hoping* to plant.
Work is ramping up to keep me busy. All good things but it's a balancing act.
I need to make time for a boardwalk walk and soft serve.
That's a pretty good metaphor for how my week is going. LOL
This week is just dragging on! Come on Friday 5 PM already!
Leviosa - I hope you did better than you expect!

Oh I see. . . they monkeyed around with Slate again, ugh!
"Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends time and space."
I applied online for a job yesterday. The company immediately scheduled an automated assessment phone call with scripted questions, like "How can you help us/our clients," "Tell me about a time you dealt with a problem," "Tell me about an achievement at your last position," etc.
Last night around 10pm, I get a Google invitation to interview with the company at 9am or 9:30am this morning. I confirm the 9:30am time and drive there this morning (30 minute commute). I get there only to have the interviewer ask me "Did you confirm the time? It was supposed to be 2:30pm. I have a meeting right now so I can't meet with you until then." He asks me to come back at 2:30pm.
I haven't heard anything from the other company as yet.
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.
Slept in. Had coffee. Went for a run. Took the dog for a walk. Now more shopping. This whole not working thing is exhausting.
DH was supposed to go out with friends tonight but I guess it got cancelled. I am kindof bummed because I just wanted to lounge around by myself tonight but I like him so it’s not a total disaster.
We bought a slow feeder bowl for our fat, little dog and it totally works! Normally he inhales his food in about 2 minutes and tonight it took him almost 5. I call that a win.
Yes, I'll go back later. But if they refuse to accept responsibility I'm going to tell them I'm not interested in working for them.
Daylight Savings means you "spring forward," so out here in PA we are an hour ahead and twilight doesn't even start until 8pm or later in the summer. If we didn't do DST that would add even more daylight to our days, because then it wouldn't start getting dark until 9pm or later.
And remember, from here on out we lose about a minute of daylight per day I think, lol.
"Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends time and space."
I want ALL the daylight, lol.
I had a former coworker who had been in the military and was stationed in (I think) Greenland for a year or two. He said it was the craziest thing. The sun would set one day sometime in the winter. And then didn't rise again for a couple months. And the days leading up to/right after that would only be a few hours long.
I have a feeling attempting to plan this family trip will be a headache. My mom doesn't understand my needs for baby B to have more space, my bro has certain wants for a place for his daughter (which makes sense), and my H doesn't seem to understand you have to compromise when planning with others. This will be fun.
Now that I think about it, I don't think twilight starts until closer to 8:30pm, like you recall from your childhood. . . I'll have to pay more attention. And like I said, we will lose a minute of daylight from 6/22 until 9/22 if that makes you feel any better :-P
I HATE standard time because that means my fall/winter is spent pretty much in perpetual darkness- so at least you don't have to deal with that! It sucks to be leaving work and it's getting dark at 4pm >< And I work in a basement so it could be weeks or months, if the weather is bad, before I ever see any sun in the fall/winter.
I honestly wish we could put the whole country in DST all year round, lol.
"Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends time and space."
Whenever the time changes for DST, it totally confuses my dog, lol. According to my H, she'll typically start hanging out by the front door about 30 minutes before I get home from work. But then, depending on which time change it is, she'll either be too early or too late for a couple weeks until she gets used to (we assume) the right "lighting" for her to know that momma is about to walk through the door, lol.
I am starting to notice that most of my posts are about food.
Food makes me happy
LMAO, as I read the first sentence of your post I was thinking, "Wow! @NBSquared2017 has a lot of cool kitchen toys."
Which I assume is from some great, recent wedding presents
.
Do you have an air fryer? If not, I really recommend them. You use little to no oil to fry the foods, but they come out just as crispy.
We've only had ours for about 6 months. And my H was remarking the other day that he "doesn't understand how he had ever lived without one", lol.
The down side is that, even most of the larger ones, don't have enough room to cook something for an entire family. But it's perfect for just me and my H.
Is that accurate?
I love the long days but will be happy when it stops getting light at 5am. My baby seems very in-tune with the sun and when that early light shines through her door... she's up. Yawn!
Also I reported someone who left their dog in a car. It was nearly 80 degrees and sunny today. Open the effing windows! Or better yet give me the dog because you clearly can’t take care of him.
