Tuesdays Never End

Dear board:  Yesterday for the first time in a long time, I realized that I wasn't stressed TF out, that I'm happy in all spheres of my life (personal, professional, and relationship wise) and that things are going well for me.  Thanks for hanging on during my wicked ride these last few years.  I appreciate you all.  I'm never going to be free of OCD and ADHD, but it's recognized and mostly managed and doesn't cause daily disruptions anymore.

Going to get my hair buzzed off tonight!  I've started having some sensory issues with my hair always touching my face, I've always wanted to do it, and I'm no longer client facing, so let's go!!!!!  I won't be bald, but it's going to be around an inch long.  I'm going to my hairdress for at least the first time, just so it will have some style to it.  I feel ike the buzz will be cathartic, but just one length all around will be boring to me.  

Otherwise, SSDD.  I'm going to wait a few months and then reach out to the new management company and see how willing they are to work with me on future information and possibility of just moving into a different apartment in the complex.

    @VarunaTT - I'm glad you are feeling more grounded.  It's exhausting being stressed all.the.time.

    We had a good first half of the weekend.  I went to the local county fair with my mom on Friday night.  The weather was hot but with a nice breeze.  It's good to spend some 1:1 time with her.  She's 82.  Saturday DH & I drove to the Twin Cities to go to IKEA.  His scooter worked really well there as the aisles are wide and clear.  We had a late breakfast in their restaurant.  Then we drove over to see his sister in her long-term care facility.  

    Overnight Saturday, DH started to feel nauseated.  By Sunday morning he couldn't keep anything down and it continued all day.  By Sunday night he wasn't vomiting but was now running to the bathroom.  I've never seen him so sick.  By yesterday morning it was over but wow.  I really think it was something he ate Saturday night.

    He finally slept well last night but is really sleepy today.  We have a primary care appointment today so will make sure all is ok.  

    Work is busy.  Almost everything has been delivered for my office redo.  My brother is coming 8/22 to assemble and install.  I've got lots of work to do before that.  But I can't wait to see how it turns out.

    I am on day one of the four day struggle bus. I am definitely feeling a little disheartened. Worked out (less intensely, too) on Saturday and then did dinner with my parents for dad's birthday. Started feeling absolutely awful by 8:30. Just so drained and tired I could have cried. Went home and stayed in bed until 6 pm the next day. I had a therapy appointment yesterday and then after that I went home and was also unable to really move much for most of the day. I did go through a few drawers and organized some stuff, but otherwise I had no energy or ability to do more. I was short of breath all day. It's just really frustrating and I'm tired of being tired and it honestly only feels like it's getting worse because I'm back at work full time. Covid is the worse and man is it frustrating that people treat it like it's no big deal. 

    Otherwise, SSDD. We've been trying to keep up with the Olympics but the sheer volume of stuff to watch is overwhelming! I'm just in awe of everyone's athleticism. Also, we are wayyyyy late to the game, but since we signed up for Peacock for the Olympics, we started to give Love Island a go and we are hooked, lol.

    I hope you had a good birthday weekend! @charlotte989875

    Glad to hear you're feeling better! @VarunaTT. The haircut sounds fun! 

    I hope DH feels better @MNNEBride

    Things are fine here. Baby J sleeping slightly better but still not as great as before. M started coughing over night. 

    I was supposed to go to NYC this weekend but with a M sickness (and J likely getting it for him) and the poor sleep it’s just not the right time. I’m bummed but know it’s the right thing. 

    I have an interview this afternoon for one of the open roles. I’m less excited about it after talking to the hiring manager but going to at least take the call with the recruiter today. I met with the hiring manager of another role yesterday and am pretty interested and she asked me to apply so I’ll see how that goes. Either would be a pay increase but trying to figure out what direction is right (or if neither are).

    N has not been sleeping well at all. He had a fever last Saturday night, seemed fine and then had a fever again this Saturday night, but again seemed fine the next day. Other than waking up for an hour or two in the middle of the night just beside himself he has no symptoms of anything. Maybe teeth? I really don't know, but I am EXHAUSTED. And doing most of the middle of the night things and evenings bc H has had a lot of projects for class. That finishes tonight thankfully and doesn't start again for 4 weeks. 

    If the boys are up for it, we're going to a "Block party" at the cancer wellness place that we've been working with. If they dont' love it, i'll take them to dinner and the park before bed so H can give his presentation without tiny (but loud AF) voices and stomping above him the whole time. Want to get to yoga and/or pilates this week now that I'm finally feeling mostly better.

    @VarunaTT - Very happy you're feeling like you're in a good place now! 

    SSDD for me. I've been in a bit of a workout rut and have been thinking about what to do next. Watching all these olympians on social media has me thinking I just want to be a beast one way or the other. 

    Nothing much else going on. My mom is starting shit with my sister again, so I'll probably try to mediate that later but ugh. I really wish my mom would just grow up.

    @VarunaTT, I'm glad to hear you are doing so well!  Good luck with the new haircut.  I hope you like it and that it feels freeing.

    @MNNEBride, I'm sorry to hear your DH was so sick.  I hope he continues to feel better.

    But you talking about Ikea inspired me to check if there is one in Cincy.  There is in a neighboring town!  I've only been to Ikea once because we don't have them here.  People always rave about the cafe and specifically the Swedish meatballs, so I'm curious to try it.  Plus I will probably need furniture/storage solutions when we buy our next house.

    One silver lining to us not moving in Spring like we had wanted to is that we will get to enjoy one more Coolinary in New Orleans!  It's a 6-week restaurant event that starts Aug. 1st.  100+ restaurants participate.  It's prix fixe menus with a set price that is usually a good deal.

    We can get our last hurrah in for some favorites and go to a few we have been wanting to try.

    @VarunaTT I bet that’s a great feeling.  Having all your ducks in a row!
    @levioosa so sorry it’s taking a toll on you. 
    @ILoveBeachMusic that’s some sad news if that’s the case (or maybe she closed up shop/retired?)

    SSDD for me.  It wasn’t a super long night last night.  The coworker who is leaving and my boss hung out till about 10:30 and I was home by 11.  Tonight after work, I’m seeing twisters with a friend and looking forward to that.

    My dad is about to go on another vacation-a cruise this time. As he himself put it when he called me today to tell me, "I'm about to do something stupid." So I am getting ready to be by myself in terms of family for a while. 

    Other than that, work is a drag. Tax Season Part 2 is about to kick off. My boss is trying to set up a conference between me and a client who is dissatisfied with their tax return, but they provided no documents other than W-2s. So I emailed back that I do not have the answers to their questions and do not see a conference between me and them as being productive in the hopes of heading one off. 

    I'm glad things are going well for @VarunaTT (at least they are for someone).
