Happy to have power again. We lost ours Tuesday right after I wrote my comment about square pizza 
and it didn't come back until Saturday morning. Ouch. And it wasn't even a hurricane, just a tropical storm. It was the worst damage sustained in our area since Hurricane Sandy.
How was everyone's weekend? @charlotte989875 have two become three?

Re: 'Tis Monday
Been thinking about you @charlotte989875 hope the little guy is here and all is well with you both.
Hows it going @charlotte989875 ?
Not much going on here. Good day at home Sat and then Sunday went to my parents' to go swimming. While I don't love the 40 min drive each way to visit them it does always make the day go faster so can't complain.
Have to make a video for work this week and I'm dreading it because stuff like that is awkward. It also means I have to do hair/makeup for the first time since the end of Feb. Dreading both the video and looking nice!
I had a busy Fri. and Sat. I went on a mammoth grocery shopping trip. They had whole chickens on clearance for $3-$4. I grabbed one of those and we cooked it over potatoes and onions on Sat. It was delicious! We never cook with whole chickens, but I was impressed with the results and will have to keep my eye out now for other sales. It took a long time to cook, but the prep was really fast and easy.
I also had six mystery shop/audits to complete. They start as a mystery shop, then I reveal myself as the "mystery shopper" and do an audit. Each location takes about 30 minutes and then another 30 minutes to enter the report. I did two on Fri. and four on Sat. It was a lot! But decent money for the time spent.
Sunday was total relaxation!
Edited to add: I also discovered the city pool that's a block from my house is open! I didn't think it was going to be open at all this summer because of COVID. I've been craving going to a pool. It's just been so miserably hot and humid. My H and I are planning to go this coming weekend in the morning(s).
Saturday was my lazy day. So we watched Doom Patrol (this is an amazing show and I highly recommend) and gamed and that's about it. Sunday was cleaning and laundry. It took all day, blech.
SSDD at work today. Found out some more info that continues to make me unhappy about management and how dumb they are, but I'm attempting to find my peace with that. They're not actively interfering with me, so that's something I hold onto.
I got my nails done Saturday. Was very impressed with my salon. They have plexiglass partitions hanging from the ceiling for the pedicure stations. Partitions up over every nail station. Temp checks for everyone on the way, along with filling out a form with all of your information. No walk-ins. Very socially distanced.
Pretty much SSDD here. Thankfully asshole BIL was not around this weekend. No idea where he was - just happy to not have to see him.
We are now, finally, a family of 3! Things didn’t go as planned (really at all) but TL;DR: we had a csection early Saturday morning and Maximus finally joined us!
Longer version: we were induced again Friday, they had to break my water and I was still not making any progress. We had to carefully monitor him because he wasn’t tolerating the pitocin after breaking the water. My doctor recommended the csection and it was good because he was crooked (face up but also turned) and had the cord around his neck. They said he would not have come vaginally.
I had a date Saturday evening with the person whom I talked to till 2 in the morning last week. It lasted till 3 a.m., probably would have lasted longer had the police not shown up to ask what we were doing in the parking lot (we were just talking). Felt like I was 16 again! Lol But I dunno, hard to get vibes from him. We’re still texting but no mention of anything in the future and I got ghosted after my last good date, so anything could happen.
ETA: congrats @charlotte989875! Just read this now. Maximus is a daring!
@CharmedPam, I was wondering what had happened to the guy from the date you went on a week ago or so. Don't take the ghosting personal! It's a mystery and a lot of times people do it for reasons totally unrelated to the date/person. Good luck with potential new guy. Sounds promising! He might be waiting for you to suggest a second date.
That's the impression I got when I was single. That men wanted the encouragement I was interested, by contacting/asking them out for the second date. They'd especially do things like say they wanted to go out again at the end of the first date and then suggest I contact them to set up a night. I always assumed that was their way to give me a gentler "out" so they didn't have to risk rejection in the moment. If I wasn't interested, I just wouldn't follow up.
It was a nice weekend here. Friday my friend gathering fell through (not my doing) when everyone lost their childcare and no one really wanted a play date, so H and I stayed home and got takeout. There was a massive thunderstorm, so we sat outside and watched lightning for a bit. Saturday we did chores and errands, and then watched a little Umbrella Academy. Yesterday we did the yard work, which was a ton of storm clean up and then went tubing. I think they closed the dam, because the water was going super slow. We were out on the river for 5 hours. I got a little more sun than I'd hoped, but I'm not burnt. I think I've got to stop doing big activities on Sundays, though. I'm so tired every Monday.
My weekend was nice. DS and I dipped out to a nearby hotel Friday night. It was fantastic. DS had so much fun swimming and running, he was such a good boy too, didn't cause his mama any problems. But it Wore Me Out! Saturday night I went to bed at like 9 and slept all night until DS woke up the next day.
@CharmedPam *tsk tsk* you're so naughty, lol. 3am police involvement, lol.
Eta: My sister got engaged this weekend!
@short+sassy, all good advise. Maybe if I pushed harder on the other guy he would have came up with date #2... but I also felt little chemistry. At least not as much as with this guy. I was telling my friend last night also going through dating woes, that it’s 2020. I can ask him out!
Glad you had a nice date @CharmedPam hope you can hang out again. Dating is such a mind f*ck and i'm sure even worse now with things like Tinder or similar sites.
I have a tooth that got damaged a few months ago. It's been fine up until now. But, last night, it was really hurting for about an hour. And now it is back at it. I suspect the nerve has gotten exposed or something. I tried to make an emergency dental appointment, but the soonest they could get me in is tomorrow at 3:30. I guess I'll need to hang on until then. I just hope the pain subsides like it did last night because I'm not sure I can handle over 24 hours of this.
I took two generic Naproxen Sodium, but it's not making a dent on the pain. I have Orajel at home, but not here at work. Though I've never found Orajel that helpful anyway.
I'm going to try wrapping some ice in paper towels and putting it against my cheek. That's an interwebz suggestion. Any other ideas? Other than getting some pliers and ripping the tooth out myself. Considered (not really) and rejected because it sounds even more painful, lol.
