Thursday Full of Woe
in Wedding Woes
Okay maybe that’s an overly dramatic title. But A- omg count faster what are you doing?!?!?!! And B- a week or so ago I posted about not wanting to go to a friend’s indoor 15 person windowless maskless birthday, and all y’all supported that. But she’s furious and has been giving me the silent treatment since Saturday and it’s just all really sad.
Re: Thursday Full of Woe
That really sucks about your friend being unreasonable. She knew you wouldn't be comfortable with it, planned it anyway, and is now mad that you didn't change your mind. I hope she's just acting out of frustration and disappointment and will get over it quickly.
@charlotte989875 I’m keeping my fx for your hubby
last night my 8 year old neice called me in tears. She got her ears pierced about a month ago and lost an earring while cleaning them. I calmly talked to her (basically told her it wasn’t the end of the world even though that’s the end of the world to an 8 year old) and said we could replace it or find a new pair of favorite earrings and towards the end of the convo she seemed fine. She is VERY sensitive, and my sister texted me after that the phone call helped her and she felt much better. ❤️
She also admitted I was third choice since Grandma and Grandpa (my parents) were busy with my SIL and bro since baby #3 can come any day now and they’re with them!
Heck, of the 5 states that are left, Biden only needs ONE to win (not counting Alaska).
But speaking of razor thin, so is Georgia! I know Trump is still ahead. But they stopped counting at 10:30 last night and will resume again today. It would be extra amazing for Biden to get that state in the 11th hour.
I'm disappointed with PA, though. They're not even a Republican stronghold and Biden is their hometown boy! Come on! If more of them had voted for their guy, PA might have already been decided and this would have been over.
That's all right. We'll just keep trudging on to the photo finish.
264 GUYS!!
Trudeau has made it very clear that regardless of the outcome, he will defend Canada's boarders {ie; giant f-u to Trump who wants to open the boarders}
M is home with BK today. Daycare has dr appt mid-day and just easier than pick-up.
Did I mention we do the desensitization for BK next week? Monday i'll be level 12 anxiety before 9am because her appt is at 8:30am
Short version, we are training her body to handle small amounts of sesame. Basically rebuilding her immune system. She'll never be able to have a burger with sesame or a bagel with sesame, but she could go to McD and have nuggets safely without risk of anaphylaxis because of cross-contamination.
I am on pins and needles waiting for Nevada's update.
@charlotte989875, good luck to your H! Sending all the good vibes.
As for me, not too much going on at work. I wish I had more distractions, lol. But I'm going to use the time wisely and start working on my refi applications. I keep checking election results, even though I know it is too soon today for anything to have changed, lol.
When I get off work, I have a gift to pick up at Harrahs and then I have three mystery shops to complete, but they are all fairly close to each other. Two of them are even on the same block. But, overall, an unusually busy night and it's going to be another long one. I also have a fairly busy day when I get off work tomorrow, but at least that is my half day.
My friend that lives in Detroit was one of the volunteers. She said the republican observers were so obnoxious. But damn, Michigan came through!
It's going to be so nice this weekend and I'm so excited. Going to unpack, get my nails done and go for a bunch of hikes.
Our anniversary was yesterday. We didn't do much of anything. We've got dinner reservations for Saturday night. DH did send me gorgeous flowers.
SSDD otherwise. Prudie coming up.
WHERE IS THE STALL!? Is it still Nevada?
GA is still processing votes and apparently there was an 'upload' issue with one county.
PA is also still processing and had to set aside ~30k votes because of some clerical issue. The election commission needs to convene and discuss.
NV, AZ, and NC are still counting.
USPS swept and found thousands of votes. If they have a 11/03 postmark, they will be counted.
Remember, several states were slowed by legislatures and were unable to start counting until Tuesday.
It's working the way it's supposed to. It's an arduous, manual process.
It's also fucking maddening and I'm about to jump out of my skin.
Good luck to your H @charlotte989875
#1 Aunt award @CharmedPam
Happy anniversary @mrsconn23
I’m trying not to let election stress get to me. But like everyone else, struggling. I did have a major breakthrough with a difficult student earlier, so I’m marking today as a win.
So USPS lost votes? *face palm*
I mean at least it's going the way it's "suppose to" but still .... Canada doesn't do mailers unless you don't live in the country {and if Parliament hadn't agreed on stuff, we would have done an election this year}
The Postal commissioner ignored a judge's order to sweep ON election day. The judge called him into court yesterday. I think he was threatened with being found in contempt, but it's honestly a news story I haven't tracked.
The US normally has a really high turnout in person on election day. This is why we have counts in a lot faster normally. There was a massive push for mail/absentee voting. Many legislatures are Republican and they tried very hard to make it difficult to vote via mail and also put measures in place to limit counting. This is what has led to such a long lag in results.
Also, our media has a history of calling projections quite early. They, thankfully, have showed a ton uncharacteristic restraint on this front. They should keep doing that.
I took Tuesday and Wednesday off and I'm glad I did. I can't even say my anxiety is high; I'm just kind of numb to the entire thing. I also would like to give back my white woman card, I am uninterested in associating with the 55% of bitches out there. IDK who's in charge of that, but she needs to come collect it.
I'm also surrounded by covid, officially. 2 cases (bad cases, one person almost died and had 40+ days in the hospital, another one was 18 days long) in my apartment building, 3 cases at work, an ordered quarantine by a 4th co-worker, the county and state numbers continue to rise and this fucking state voted our lying ass governor back in. I'm so done with MO. If I thought I could convince my parents to move with me, I'd be searching for a blue state to move. They're going to get a lot of us damn sick or killed.
I come into work and find out that shit is hitting the fan. Once again, it's b/c of 2 attorneys who think I'm too stupid to realize, or find out, that they're stabbing me in the back. I just snapped at one of them, who tried to play the, "I'm not trying to criticize you" game. Same one also complained that I took Tuesday/Wednesday off and wanted to know why, b/c "we need our legal trainer." Bitch, I WORK for my PTO and if I want to spend it taking a shit, drinking martinis, and painting my nails all at the same time, that's 10000000% my prerogative and I don't have to check in with YOU. The damn managing paralegal is also being a hosebeast and my patience is at an all time low for a whole lot of people. These 2 attorneys have always liked me and I've always liked and been professional with them, but I am NOT going to be bullied at work ever again (old timers will remember Diva). I apologize for my blackface gif, but this is truly my attitude right now:
So yeah...I think I'm overwhelmed right now and just don't have a lot of patience for stupid power plays at work from incompetent, inefficient, and stupid people. Who I know voted for Trump.
@mrsconn23 good grief ....
Do you guys have early vote days? Like when we have any type of election, there's like a few days a week before you can vote. {non-pandemic times I mean}
