Wedding Woes

Tuesday!

i dropped 6let at camp this morning and now I kill time before picking up the littles. We’re meeting at McDonald’s but I can’t eat there. I’m eating at bibibop now to avoid it. They’ll probably accuse me of having an eating disorder. 

6let did not make the national team. He’s disappointed but his first reaction was “did they say what I need to work in?”

Re: Tuesday!

  • @6fsn Is it just McD's disagrees with you? My mum works at McD's and can eat a small amount of things because mostly disagrees with her :(
    What's bibibop?
    Kudos to 6let's question. Did he get an answer? Hope he doesn't give up hope!


    So I've been run down and recently my boobs hurt. Yes I know what that sounds like and I took a test this morning to clarify - negative. I didn't expect it to be positive but I legit was anxious because I really didn't want it to be positive.
    Personally I think I may have a deficiency in something - I know iron can cause it.
    It's probably 2 separate issues

    I've gotta book an appt for BabyKitten at the end of August for 15 month appt so i may book myself also.
    I think part of that will be increase birth control because idk ... this isn't the first time I've had issues.

    Anyways .... can I just take a nap now? *sigh*

    Awww poor 6let but seriously great attitude!  He’ll get ‘em next time.  What’s bibibop?

    I have a biometric test with my weight loss surgeon at 1:15 today so I had to stop eating/drinking (I can “sip water”) at 9:15.  Also can’t drink caffeine before it either. These four hours before testing suck.  Honestly, I could never do intermittent fasting. 

    Edit to add; just googled bibibop and it looks good.  There’s one 20 minutes away from me but never heard of it before!



  • it is to be noted, on giphy.com "food" gets real weird real quick.
  • Pretty much @MissKittyDanger!

    I just feel like we’ve been eating a bunch of junk with all of our travels this month and I couldn’t do it again. Plus I’m not a fan in general. My ils tend to have a weird relationship with food so I’ll take the looks and comments for something yummy and healthy. They will happily eat every fast food restaurant on the weight watchers plan. Taco Bell, McDonald’s etc are all healthy because they stay within their points.

  • I’m just so angry with the country right now; the racist tweets about Congresswomen of color, the Title X funding, immigration raids. Just when I think I can’t be more horrified this administration just seems to top it. 
    I'm right there with you. I'm feeling very angry, and frustrated and upset. I keep having dreams about yelling at my father (a Trump supporter).

    Oh looks yummy!
    It looks like a cross between a bowl and stir fry.
    Wish we had one here :( I would totally order from there lots lol

    There's a difference between watching what you eat and thinking fast food is healthy.
    My coworker quite often buys her lunch and one close fast food place is Wendy's. She doesn't say it's healthy, but she gets the salad because it's the best option.

    My MIL cooks really well, but also has a hard time with her relationship with food because she's big on carbs but knows how unhealthy they are as a whole. She tries to swap things - rice for quinoa, etc - so she still get the "carbs" without the weight.

    It's rough when politics are in the family, and dreams :(

    I'm honestly sick of the continuing coverage of his Twitter tirades. He literally does it to distract from everything else. The criticism of his rants is a feature, not a bug for him. It's attention either way. Guess what I've barely heard about since the day after the debates? Any Dem candidate and their policies. Coverage of yesterday's asylum move is also sparser because everyone's very much taking the bait on the Twitter nonsense. Also not hearing much anymore about any connections to Epstein.

    I feel like we'd get much more accomplished if we treated him like a toddler having a tantrum and ignored the bids for attention.

    Yes. I broke my phone this weekend and honestly two days without news was so nice. Now I'm back to being rage filled all the time. Not that it ever really went away, but not being constantly barraged with horrific news was a good break.

    @CharmedPam good luck on the test @charlotte989875 right there with you on this dang country @6fsn what a great mindset he has!
    Just got in from a morning at the pool.  Enjoying being outside now, temperature is supposed to really climb this weekend.  H and I grabbed Lion King tickets for all of us this Friday morning...kids like the animated version and love the soundtrack so hoping they'll enjoy the live action version.

    I agree 100%, but since we don't have a working press office at any level of government and he only give press briefings sporadically...the news can only rely on twitter to get policy information.  It would be nice if those were the only tweets they focused on and ignored the batshit crazy ones.  But Trump has been great for ratings and advertising dollars, so they have zero incentive to stop giving him a platform.  It's seriously like watching the human centipede in real time (no I've never seen it, but it feels like a accurate analogy).  
  • My H and I are eagerly awaiting 2:00PM today to see what happens.  We have had a huge response to our rental ad.  Primarily on Facebook Messenger (from the Marketplace).  Which may/may not lead to anyone showing up or any applications, lmao.  But it is at least a good sign.

    We completely took the "shotgun approach" and, unless people had specific questions, just sent all the inquiries a copy/paste message that we are doing showings today at 2PM.  Please swing by and call H at XXX-XXXX, if you have any questions or can't find it.

    One of the FB messages was "Do you have any properties on the Westbank?"  That is where our new duplexes are located.  Me:  Funny you should ask that...  At any rate, I told her we were currently doing a renovation at a duplex in Algiers (part of the Westbank) and it should be ready in about 3 weeks.  She said she'd be interested and I told her I'd keep her contact in the FB messenger handy and as we were completing it, I'd let her know.

    And now for the other unit at the duplex we have the showing at (not one of the new ones).  She's the tenant who didn't bother going out to sell her praline treats at Essence Fest.  I was originally promised I'd have $600 by today and be paid in full, by this Fri.  I have $0.  I sent her a text this morning that was basically, "I need to know what is going on with the rent.  We're halfway through the month and you haven't paid anything."  Her response was she has an event tonight (I assume for her pralines) and will make a payment tomorrow.  She'll let me know how much tomorrow.  And then she actually had to the gall to use some excuse that they'd "had to run" for nothing...I assume she meant evacuated because of the storm...and had just gotten back in last night.  My only reply was, "Okay."  But I was thinking, "Girl, seriously?  Do you forget I live in NOLA also? And I know there were no evacuation orders.  Of any kind.  At any time."  So much bs!  I'm not saying she didn't leave.  I'm just saying it would have been more for s**ts and giggles and probably an excuse to visit family/friends out of town.  Not because she had to.

    For example, they'll often recommend anyone with special needs/elderly/etc. or the families/friends of people with special needs to evacuate on X day.  This is usually done if there is a possibility an area-wide evacuation might be called in the coming days.  But even that type of evacuation was not done for the NOLA area this time around.  Just to show how completely ridiculous it was that she left.

    I meant to post a 5-Day Pay or Quit on her door last week.  But we were so busy and then we were nervous to leave the house from Fri.-Sun., because of the supposed storms that didn't happen.  It's getting posted today, since my H will be at that property anyway for the showings.  I just wish I'd made the time last week because she is PO'ing me off.  Yet again.  And I'm also PO'ed at myself for not being more pro-active. Hopefully she can pull it out of the fire, but it's really not looking good.  At this point, I'd be happy if we both just cut our losses, I keep her security deposit for this month, and she voluntarily leaves.

    Aaaand my mil let my child have 3 propels in one day. I really don’t give a crap about the drink. They’re at grandmas. Do whatever. Buuut mil told him it was ok because they are healthy. Maybe after a prolonged workout, but I doubt my 6 yo did that much work. 
  • @short+sassy  fx!!

    @6fsn what's propel? You make it sound kinda like gatorade
  • Also I’m also annoyed with people today. I was standing in line at a coffee shop, talking with two coworkers, and a woman comes up and says the button on the back of my shirt was unbuttoned (a small, single button on th neck of my shirt that has very little functional purpose). Then she moves my hair out of the way and starts fastening it! Without asking me if I wanted her to, you know, touch me! I then said “oh it’s hard for me to do buttons now” because clearly my hand is all wrapped in a soft cast and she’s says “oh well your shirt is too pretty to be open in the back”.

    WTF don’t touch strangers. 
  • @charlotte989875 I have a pet peeve of people touching me, I would have turned away.
    But that lady in general could have done it better - "your button is undone, did you want me to do it as I see you have a cast?"

    It's after 2pm CST - how many people showed up S+S?
  • Just a quick post and run.  Been a busy day and I have to leave early for a dentist appointment!

    Right, just ask! I’d say no thank you, but don’t just touch strangers. 
  • @short+sassy  definitely a good sign of a good tenant at least!

    Thanks.  I gained weight which I knew - tonight I’ll compare and see if any of that is muscle.  

    Is anyone else not getting updates on new posts?

    @charlotte989875 I’m with you. A soccer dad I know by sight (and voice because he yells constantly) tried to hug me this morning. This man doesn’t know my name. He came in for a hug as I was pulling back.
