  I am on my way to work.
  
  DH something planned for Saturday. It's a I'm sorry grand gesture surprise for <pause for dramatic affect> shaving the baby's head. I can't even describe how pissed I was. I don't even want whatever he has planned, it seems like a waste of money, not to mention time I should be spending prepping for Thanksgiving, and the sincere apology was enough for me. But I get the feeling that this is important to him, and I don't want to tell him to skip it. 
  
  We finally got our passport and visa issue sorted. Now we just have to renew our lease. It's never ending fun in the desert *eye roll*

  @missJeanLouise why did he shave the baby's head???
  
  Today is my Friday! 
  
  Going food shopping for Tday bright and early tomorrow. Then will spend the rest of the day cleaning the house from top to bottom. Will be doing the same on Saturday. Saturday night we have a friend's 50th birthday party.

  @missJeanLouise Also wondering why he shaved the baby's head? I'd be so pissed.
  
  Wishing today was my Friday. We're having a pest control company come out to the house tonight - we have rodents (most likely squirrels) living in our walls and they have now started chewing holes in the drywall. Time to figure out where they're coming from and put an end to it. H is hoping we still have paint to match the walls in the basement after the pests are gone and the drywall is fixed or he's going to be repainting the entire kitchen.  
  
  My birthday is this weekend and I'm very much looking forward to relaxing and some pampering. H is treating me to a prenatal massage on Saturday afternoon. That evening, I think we might go and check out the Christmas tree lighting and parade in town. 
  
  Sunday is my actual birthday. We're going to get our Christmas tree and decorate the house for Christmas. Dinner that night at my favorite restaurant. Should be lovely.

  Happy early birthday @cupcait927.  I JUST got rid of a raccoon in my walls problem.  Not fun.  I can relate.
  yeah why @missJeanLouise. lol.  Yay for your visa security.  Was it a permanent move or do you plan on moving back to the states? Edit; I mean nothing is ever permanent but did you move with “I’m only taking this job for ____ years”
  
  Got to work early.  The president of the company and some vp’s are in town.  I actually made it in at 7:45!  Usually I stroll in at 8:10... 8:15... whenever.  But they aren’t even here yet.  And neither is breakfast. Booo. oh, and I’m wearing a size 16 pant.  First time, in, like ever?

  Morning.   
  
  Almost Friday.  Prudie day.  Yay! 
  
  We watched Iliza Schlesinger's new comedy special on Netflix and it's hysterical.  She's coming in March and we talked about getting tickets.   
  
  SSDD for the most part otherwise.

  @missJeanLouise WHAT THE EVER LOVING FUCK DUDE!!! Why did he shave it!? I mean, points for trying to fix what he know he did but still *headdesk*
  
  Happy birthday @cupcait927 enjoy your massage!
  
  
  I'm debating on taking a personal day tomorrow because I've just been dragging this week. I've felt off and on nauseated for a few days and picked up gravol. M made casserole last night that just gave me pregnancy vibes because he made a great casserole for Valentines when I was pregnant and made it so I wouldn't feel sick.
  BabyKitten loved last night's dinner also, which is always a bonus. Some days she wants to use the fork, others she just ... meh about it? She did stab her cheek last night and I don't think it hurt, but she got irked and gave up on the fork for rest of dinner lmao

  Omg @missJeanLouise. I would have been livid. I’m glad you got your visa/passports figured out. 

  
  

  @cupcait927 Happy early birthday! 

  
  

  SSDD here for me. Trying to work up motivation to go to the gym.

  Do it! We saw her a couple weeks ago and it was fantastic. I'm going to watch the new special this weekend.

  It's been a crazy week, but I'm back to WFH today and getting myself caught up. It took me 3 hours to get through my email box. Nothing much else exciting. The puppy graduates from her 6 week training school tonight, assuming she is able to pass the final exam. (Sit, stay, heel and down.) I need to practice with her on lunch. 
  
  I just got caught up on the Wednesday post, and now I want to talk about vacation. That may have been why I was slow to catch up at work, oops. My 40th is in February and I want to go somewhere, but I have no idea where. If we do driving distance my sister and fam will go with us, but I kind of want to fly somewhere warm. Decisions, decisions.

  Happy birthday! @cupcait927
  @CharmedPam we always knew it would be temporary. We have been here 3 years (how does time go so fast?) and I would like to stay for another 3 but DH would like to go home yesterday. We accomplished our goal of getting his student loans paid off but I would like to save some more so we could have a sizeable down payment in a HCOL city or buy a house out right in a lower COL city.
  
  Why did he shave the baby's head? That seems to be the five million dollar question. Because he is an idiot? Idk. He seemed to genuinely think it was a good idea. It is tradition here that all babies get their heads shaved but usually when they are like 3 weeks old. However, we are not from here so it is not our tradition. I honestly don't know what he was thinking. He knows he fucked up though. Everyone has chewed him out; me, his mom, all the ladies he works with. He was shocked (and embarrassed).

  I'm so irritated.  My firm is horrible at anything HR related.  We just got our new health insurance info today, with decisions due by the end of the week (so, tomorrow).  My premium has almost doubled and added $2K to my deductible for $5K total.  I can get a $3K deductible, but my premium would triple.  Basically, I'd spend an extra $1400 yearly to get a deductible lowered $2K, so it's not really worth it.  EXCEPT...our new HI kicks in Dec 1 for some ungodly reason.  I NEED GALLBLADDER SURGERY.  I don't lose any of the money spent for the year towards my deductible, but I'm going from a $3K to a $5K deductible.  I am going to throw myself on the mercy of this doctor and his clinic and plead for surgery next week or to get me to someone who can do it next week and fucking yay, Thanksgiving.  Otherwise, I'm just going to be shit out of luck and I'm so pissed at this firm for doing this same bullshit year, after year, after year.
  
  Other than that, SSDD.  I'm really tired today; I think K being out of town and dealing with the kind of "I don't feel 100%" is starting to wear me out.  I'm ready for Friday.
