Wedding Woes

Thursday

Lordt, at this point my office is such a shitshow, I'm just sitting back with popcorn.  We've had one of our most senior paralegals lose her husband (he passed from heart failure) and almost no one knew.  This part actually makes me mad, b/c she's the backbone of our office and the staff here that cares about each other, cares a lot about each other.  Then the Bully co-worker just had a temper tantrum, walking up and down the hallways cursing, opened the door into the lobby cursing, where there was actually a professional thing going in a conference room with an open door and then she left.  I'm just like, Welp...welcome to the nightmare.

The hearings resume at noon central time, so I'll be watching those, but otherwise, I'm just back to the grind.

Re: Thursday

  • Happy Thursday! @short+sassy thinking of you and your fun travels today. @varunatt, all you can do is sit back and watch and know you’re not part of the problem!

    Apparently my internet stops working in high heat? The last two days I’ve been without internet, and it’s been around 100.  Today, temps were broken and guess who was able to stream The Circle this morning?

    Ugh. Busy day ahead for me. I have work, laser hair treatment and then a movie after that. Yesterday one of my friends messaged me out of the blue asking me what was up. I felt like she was fishing for my divorce. I changed my fb profile to “single” when it happened, but not everyone noticed. I don’t post pictures of my ex and I on our adventures anymore, which I’m sure people do notice. Anyway, she knew about my divorce because my ex was messaging her months after it. She told me she knew already - and it was because of his transitioning to a woman.  I wrote back “interesting. Did he mention anything about his cheating?” Guess what? He failed to tell her THAT part (no, they never will say anything bad about themselves, will they? Then again, I’d probably omit that out in my story if I were the cheater). But I told her my side.  He also told her about my sleeve surgery and the mommy makeover I got.  I dunno. I feel like that’s something *I* get to tell my friends. Most people don’t know about his transitioning because I always felt like that is his story to tell. They know about his infedelity because that’s our story. Anyway, we caught up and I don’t really care if she knows about my surgeries. I probably would have told her in person if we ever met up again. The last time I saw her was at my wedding and then she moved to another state.

  • I feel such a crunch of things to do coming up.  Chiquita has a scout thing Saturday morning and we need to get the kids to the ILs because we have a concert that night.  Sunday we have church and Father's Day and Monday morning I need to drop off Chiquita in the parking lot of a grocery store to go with her troop to backpack on the AT in the northern end of the state.  I still don't know what she's eating and that's making me anxious!

    I'll feel better when it's Tuesday and my goal is to get Chiquito to day camp. 
  • Another chaotic weather risk today :\ 

    Hopefully it's not like a month ago and it goes ok but there's tornado risks. I brought in our mini generator and right now I'm charging my phone in case.

    Last 2 days of BK in prek - they're sending stuff home in a portfolio.
    I'm just gonna cry the next few days lmao!

    I also moved stuff around. I have to rechange a few things in our room because sizing just doesn't work.
    So in 2020 I got new nightstands because M's nightstand has been broken for years, and mine was going to go into BK's room eventually.
    Well Angel kept sleeping in M's nightstand and then he went blind so the vet said not to change anything he's use to.
    Fine. These stands have been sitting on the floor for 2 years now.

    Last night I got frustrated and moved stuff around.

    BK got my nightstand.
    The thing behind her bed was part of a kitchen set, so that went to our spare room.
    Spare nightstand that eventually is going to curb, is now in our room. I have it on my side, but I may swap with M because I cannot see the monitor at all.

    M was worried because we have an outlet right near BK's bed, and although when her frame gets in it'll be a non-issue, right now it's very close to her.
    She doesn't bother with outlets but he still adjusted the nightstand so it's less in her face.
    Her room looks very "kid bedroom" and I have feelings.



    Also, if you have glowsticks - do a glowstick bath!
    We had extra and M tossed them in her bath. So much fun :) We also had to do oatmeal bath cuz she's been itchy, but that almost made it better because there was stuff the light could bounce off of :) 
  • I should add - the reason the not knowing what she's eating is making me anxious is because I need to shop for it.  She needs to have hear own meals for this and it's totally new for me.  She's gonna love it - but in the meantime we need to prepare.

    I also agreed to cantor at church on the 26th so I can't get covid at the concert on Saturday.  It should be a cool night so even with seats in the amphitheater I won't be too sweaty wearing a mask. 
  • @MissKittyDanger I had always used the oatmeal lotions/baths for itch relief.  My PCP told me to switch to Eucerin or Cetaphil.  I had used Cetaphil before without relief, but Eucerin has been life changing.  It's expensive, but I use the body wash and the lotion.  My skin has never looked so nice, not full of scratches (granted, I'm also getting the allergy shots now, but the Eucerin made the change in the 3 months I had to wait for my appointment to get those started).  Highly recommend and they have a specialty bodywash for young children.
  • @VarunaTT BK has eczema. It's been fairly decent this year tbh. We use the aquaphor oinment/moisturizer on the spots and our dr suggested Aveeno because she has dry/sensitive skin anyways.
    We also have a steroid in case - huge jumps or huge drops in temp make her skin rough :(
  • I’ve learned (thanks Therapy) that I don’t do well in environments that lack transparency and feel chaotic and that’s exactly what is happening with work these days. Our leader is spiraling and things are a mess. That behavior stresses me out and it’s super frustrating. 

    But otherwise it’s absurdly hot and I hate. Please give me the snow back.
