too lazy to pick a title 
Re: THURSDAY
Today's my anniversary! I swear if it weren't for my friend, who has the same anniversary as us, reminding me I wouldn't notice.
Tomorrow we are going to take DS for a walk on the boardwalk through the mangroves. It's nice, definitely little over hyped, but something to do.
I was able to get some sewing done today. I am almost caught up with my Sew Along. I will be happy when this one is finished. Then I will take a little break, sort of, not really, lol. I have a bunch of works in progress to do, a baby quilt to make, my Block of the Month club, and I want to make a tote bag. Honestly, I love this hobby though
Actually, my splurge was buying a new phone. My old phone is cracked in every single corner and across the screen now. I've known I needed a new one and the Galaxy 10 went on sale for $250 off, so i just took the plunge and got a new one. I can never talk myself into purchasing a brand new latest model phone b/c they're just so expensive. I know I use it every day, blah, blah, but it's still always a shock. Also, I used to work at Circuit City back in the day and I know how much it actually costs to make them; the mark up is truly so ridiculous, I think it should be criminal.
Anyway, SSDD. I'm supposed to be getting my new office at work in a couple of weeks and I'm stoked about it. I can't wait to have my own private space again. I'm losing the skylight that is above my office now, which I loved just b/c it gave me some natural light, but it's an okay trade off.
It's supposed to rain most of the day. Then 2-3" of snow again this weekend. Ick. I could use some sunshine!
It's 8AM and I am already thinking about lunch, lol. A coworker and I are supposed to go out. I just finished sending her an e-mail with some nearby choices. Darn it! Now my appetite is revved up.
Overall, it feels like a good day. I'm already looking forward to the weekend and it's not far off. I'm pretty caught up at work. Dare I say, even ahead. I have a mystery shop to do when I get off work. Busy day tomorrow, but it will be getting a lot of important things checked off my list (personal, not work) and I'm looking forward to that. I always feel better when I'm making progress!
Edit: My coworker has postponed lunch to Monday. But now I'm in a mood for food after looking at the menus for restaurants I suggested. I think I'm still going to do take-out, lol.
How much longer until the weekend?
M & I are in a debate. Our living room layout doesn't really have a spot for a tree really, so I suggested getting a felt tree so BK can do it herself. We could use it as where our gifts go for Xmas Eve.
I suggested just buying this and getting rid of our worn out tree, then waiting for when we move because we'll have a better layout and BK will understand better about the ornaments also {but keep her tree if she's still into it obv}
M doesn't really wanna get rid of the tree but we gets concept. I kinda just wanna toss it. We were going to toss it before we moved anyways .... idk what it is, but the branches suck. We're considering spending the money for Costco fake trees when we move because the quality is actually there.
Idk ...
It'd have to be on the edge of the desk - which BK would likely grab and mess around with, which is a concern so it'd depend on the table top kind
@Casadena I finally found a felt one on Amazon this year! I've been hunting for one for a bit
My parents are visiting again and i'm super excited! We're celebrating my dad's birthday and watching the first Big10 football games. I'm trying to figure out a decent balance of whole 30 approved "fun food" for H and me, but also stuff they will eat (they're not overly adventurous eaters). I'm thinking meatballs and chicken wings will be easy. Maybe veggies and cashew dip for us, chips or veggies with a store bought dip for them. I'll make a dessert too and just freeze whatever they don't eat for post-Whole 30 excitement.
My face has been breaking out like crazy the last week and I can't figure out what's up. In the last 2 weeks i've cut out sugar, gluten, dairy, grains, and some oils. I'll experiment a little with some products i use less often.
happy anniversary @missJeanLouise!
@short+sassy I hope your lunch adventure is awesome!
@VarunaTT hoping your work crazy settles down soon and your new office will help!
The "extras" I sometimes include in my inspections are the video cameras down the pipes. I hate it because it's $350 vs. the whole rest of the inspection is only $125 (major systems only). But when it's a 30+ year old house on slab construction, fixing the piping under it can run in the five figures. I always get termite inspections also because that's OUR local area common issue. Termites and rats. The joys of being a port city, lol. In fact, some lenders require it. However, we don't have issues with radon here.
According to my H, properties out here aren't built to be "sealed", like they are in most of the country because of the high humidity levels we have. There is some natural air flow (nothing that's noticed), to keep moisture from building up. But added benefits are that neither radon nor carbon monoxide levels can usually build up indoors either.
There was a scary situation in a house I bought about 5 years ago. During my inspection, it was discovered that the heating wasn't vented to the outside! Anytime the heat was turned on, carbon monoxide was building up in the attic. But because of the "unsealed" construction we do out here, it could escape before it overwhelmed the family living there with carbon monoxide poisoning. JFC. Still dangerous though and, although unusual for an inspector to speak to tenants, he felt obligated to warn them about it (fine with me).
I bought it in springtime when no one would be turning on the heat, but that was the first issue I fixed. Oh. Along with taking the hot water heater out of a bedroom closet and moving it outside, where it was much safer. That's one of those things that is against code. Period. Doesn't matter when the house was built, it's not grandfathered in. I'm all about saving money too, but don't hire people so cheap they don't know wth they're doing and cause dangerous situations. I get the seller may not have known about the unvented heating, but you can't miss a water heater in a bedroom closet, smh.
Just trying to make it to the end of the week. The sun is out today. YAY!
Prudie is coming.
I also think it depends on the person, something like that wouldn't bother me as much with my mom - she's resourceful and can figure things out and she wouldn't get flustered (and neither would be bc we know that about her). My MIL would freak out if that happened and make a big deal about it and it would be a horribly weird and stressful situation. Bottom line, you feel how you feel and it's totally fine!
So thanks for @kvruns and everyone here I think I got to the root of my problem. I think I have an allergic reaction to Methacrylates found in the gels. I will be taking this polish off tonight. And I emailed the company and asked if I could return the unopened bottles I got last week. 😞 This whole ordeal really makes me sad.
So I’m almost done the last season of Shitt’s Creek. 2 days ago I saw the step arobec episode and I was like “oh, they look like they got a good workout in”. Guess what’s arriving at my doorstep tomorrow? What is WRONG with me?!? I can’t wait for my damn bike so bought this while that comes. Lol.
Edit: words. Because it still hurts to type
Not overreacting.
I got mine for about $25 at Walmart a couple years ago and B still loves it and is already asking about it again
Also you're welcome
