I'm so glad I have tomorrow off.
The interview went well, I think. I was super nervous. My joke is that I've always been a 'bad test-taker'. I sent TY e-mails this morning. I got a response from my director.
I slept like shit last night. I hope I can relax tonight. DH is off with us tomorrow.
SSDD otherwise. Prudie coming up here in a minute.

Re: Thursday
Summer FINALLY hits this weekend so I'm hoping for a nice day of boating Saturday even though Chiquita can't swim. Stitches come off Monday!
H took G downtown for chemo today - this is the last appointment in his "good" phase and early July he starts another hard one with lots of steroids on top of the chemo drugs. H will be out of school for the better part of 8 weeks and in a lot of pain and tired and ragey all the time. It's so awful and i'm so glad that H will be able to be with him. There's a week in that phase where we're supposed to give daily shots and were really struggling with how to handle it. I'm fine with the actual giving of shots but he'll hate us if we have to hold him down and poke him with needles (we'll do it if we have to,but would prefer to be the "comfort" after the shot) so we're exploring home health or involving our peds office (down the street) to just administer.
Finishing up a couple things that have been hanging over my head today and will workout at lunch!
I'm researching flights for our trip out west and I'm happily surprised that flights are not as bad as I thought. Hopefully booking something this weekend.
Game night tonight! Looking forward to that. I think there’s a good amount of people signed up for it. I should probably pick up some taco dip and chips for my contribution.
speaking of PSA’s, everyone should have this towel. It’s big, fluffy, pretty and it dries you off in .03 seconds. Magic. I got one in my fabfitfun box and it was worth the subscription price alone ($45/quarter) But I also got some other great stuff in it too!

It's going to be a bummer that it's going to be in the 80s this weekend and she can't get her stitches out til Monday so I am hoping for a boating day Saturday with no swimming.
Also, nearly 3 years ago Chiquita slammed her brother's finger in her bedroom door when he was harassing her at bedtime and the pinkie got caught in the strike plate. It broke the tip and required stitches and a splint. I hope they're good being "even" now.
Have just been washing/conditioning in the shower and then using this leave in spritz. Putting it up in a microfiber towel while i'm getting ready/running after children. Taking down right before I leave and finger combing while i'm running out the door. It's mostly dry by then. *I do have thick wavy hair but usually when it's short it just gets straight and frizzy, i'm actually getting nice waves right now!
edit; also just noticed it’s redken. Love their stuff!
Postponed honeymoon obv.
SFIL lets it slip they've booked their honeymoon - which is a couple spots in Europe as we knew.
M asks how t.f they can afford that. BIL's been whining about money for so long etc etc.
WELLLLLLL SFIL let it slip they have like 60K in savings.
M didn't flip shit, but basically said to SFIL that right there is proof that BIL has been fkn playing EVERYONE
SFIL is starting to agree with M
Anyways ....
Saturday we're seeing M's nanny and others, but to be dead fkn honest that's all I care about seeing.
FIL will be there, but honestly BK is gonna look at him and avoid because she doesn't know him.
I damn well hope she freaks out so M can say "she does this with dudes she doesn't know"
M & I have currently 2 plans
1 - our anniversary weekend is long weekend in August. We haven't done anything in years for it {aside from Covid} so we wanna do a little something. 2020 was our 5yr wedding and 2021 was our 10yr dating lol
2 - clearing out crap.
We have so much and 90% of our basement is going.
Not until it's gone and we're figured out, but I wanna buy shelves so I can have totes of stuff there - labeled. Like "holiday various" etc
My mom and sister both bailed on our July 4th plans and I'm kind of miffed about it. I know I need to suck it up and let it go, but they piss me off with this stuff and it's just compounded right now.
Then H found out this morning that his step mother passed. He's sad, but we knew it was coming. His dad is being a massive jerk, but his dad is always a massive jerk. I'd like to go with him to the funeral, but we don't know when it will be yet and timing is trash.
I need a drink.
Going to a friends to watch the final hearing today with mimosas (running joke between us). I am so READY for Friday, it's ridiculous. I think I'll try and see a movie tomorrow night. If I don't start seeing them more, I need to cancel my membership, I'm wasting money. Otherwise, SSDD.
Dad's final treatment is today. Then another scan and see how the cancer is responding to treatment. Once we have that piece of info, they'll decide how they want to move forward.
@MissKittyDanger! That’s a lot of money to overlook. I feel a lot of people I know are llke that. My friend plays the poor card ALL the time and everyone feels sorry for her, so she ends up “not having to bring something” or “the contribution is $48.45 from everyone for that group gift, but you can round down to $45” and the worst is when we all go out and pay cash and three of us overtip while she gets to undertip. Fast forward to 2020 when I helped her close on her condo, and she gave me access to her bank acct for it and I found out she has 4x the amount of money in her savings account than I do! She plays “poor” but she’s not. She’s the friend I kinda sorta stopped talking to. That was one reason.
@VarunaTT, I’m feeling the same way about my amc card. But to be fair, not many movies to my liking have really come out recently.
Literally the more M & I talk about it, the more we get upset.
I mentioned it to my mum and she thinks they have expensive taste - where they live isn't cheap. None of the places they've rented were cheap.
My insulin shots are very short, thin needles. They only penetrate a little into the skin and don't go in veins or muscles. As such, they are usually painless and I barely feel them. It's a similar sensation to, if you took a sharpened pencil and gently poked your skin with it.
This is what those kind of syringes look like. You can see how little they are (though the picture is huge, lol):
I'm hoping for G, his shots are also something like that. He might still be afraid of the needle, but feel better about it when he realizes the shot doesn't hurt at all or much.
However, if they are longer/thicker needles that go into a muscle or vein, those are more painful type of shots. I don't know what to tell you other than encouraging him to be brave and a reward after the shot is over.
