Not that we need prudie letters, T***p's picks are a disastrous prudie letter and he's the diabolic LW over and over.  Ugh.

How's everyone otherwise?

    Pretty ssdd again.  I was dealing with some dizziness yesterday but it's pretty much gone and has been replaced with a headache.  I'm due to get my period next week and my PMS stuff has been all over the place lately, so I'm chalking it up to that, for now.  
    No complaints at work right now.  ExH seems to have crawled back into his hole these last couple days.  And the kids all have things later, but very local, so it's a good enough Thursday here.

    @ei34, I laughed when I read your post yesterday asking if other people were in the 30s.  I realize I was not one of the WW'ers that would have been directed at.  But checked my temp for fun, it was 79.

    Creative "tailoring" today!  I put on one of my go-to work skirts this morning.  With my continued weight loss, it's been getting too big.  Still not in danger...yet...of a wardrobe malfunction thanks to my hips.  But it's getting close.  I also don't like the waistband sitting low on my hips instead of my waist.  Once I got to work, I used a binder clip on the waistband to make it smaller, lol.  I'm wearing a long bulky shirt that hides it.

    Hey good on you for having such loose clothes now @short+sassy.  
    Penguin still pops up when I open that streaming service. After I watch “From” I’ll start that.  Love that book nook @VarunaTT.
    Last night I saw a musical production of “little mermaid” and it was excellent. The sets were phenomenal.  I’m so glad I have season tickets for the good shows! (Some were duds this season).
    Can someone please catch my eyeglass stealing fairy? I had four pairs this time last year and now I’m down to 2 and one is scratched so bad I can’t see out of them! (My fault, I was putting them in my purse unprotected).  I bought 2 new pairs yesterday but usually they take 10 days to get to me, so the one pair really has to last.

    You can search "dress back cinch  clips" on Amazon and loads of those elastic clips to cinch in dresses and the like come up.  Some of them are really pretty.  Help you out until you settle down in your sizing and still look tailored and nice.

    I was perusing the Angle Tree we do at work and just burst into tears reading about kids with no presents. So hormones are obviously still rampant. We'll buy gifts for a couple of them. 2 work presentations this morning went fine-good. Didn't knock anything out of the park, but the big one was only my 2nd meeting of it's kind so i'm sure it will get more comfortable/i'll be able to anticipate questions better as we go forward. 

    Book club tonight with the "more club than book" crew and looking forward to it. 

    I am floored but probably should stop being surprised by the cabinet picks, etc. It's ridiculous and I feel helpless. 


    Kind of a vent, feel free to skip:
    We tried to go out to dinner with some friends and their kids (so, 4 boys under 5) last night and it was a disaster. All the kids just couldn't settle enough, loud, climbing, jumping, pushing, etc. We left early and didn't get ice cream like we said we would. H was a jerk last night about it and is still in a mood this morning because of how "unacceptable" their behavior was. Like sir, we put four 3-4 year old boys in a booth together, predictably, they couldn't handle it, we left calmly and they didn't get a treat - they don't need you to be mean to everyone about it for days. He thinks I under-react to things like this because I don't get flustered and yell and hold a grudge - just because I'm calm doesn't mean I condone inappropriate behavior. We dealt with it, move on.

    I'm having an awful day. One of the admins outright gaslit and lied to me today about something. I was ready to just leave for the day I was so mad. I wrote a message to my manager, then held off sending it because I needed to calm down. I'm trying to transfer and don't want to trigger any passive aggressive shenanigans that would definitely happen, but then said admin went to my manager and I had to have a call anyways. Ugh. I wish it was Friday so I could have a big ol glass of wine. And I wish the potential transfer had more movement quickly. I'm stressing out about it. The election is also fueling a new kind of desperation and stress for me. 

    Also my poor kitty is getting a tooth pulled today. And not only is is crazy expensive, but I just feel bad for her.

    @levioosa, I'm sorry to hear you are having such a bad day!  I hope the manager saw things your way and your transfer comes soon.  Good luck to your kitty.  I hope the procedure goes smoothly and she isn't in any pain.

    Of all the times I wish I could talk to my pets, it's things like this.  So I could explain what will happen, it will be painful/uncomfortable for awhile, but then they will feel a lot better.

    I felt so mean. She had to fast last night, so I slept in a separate room with her so she couldn't eat. And I was extra cuddly this morning and played with her. The guilt is all my own but I felt like I was buttering her up to send her out to pain. I called H on his way to the vet and she was (predictably) screaming the whole way. She might be tiny but she's got a pair of lungs on her. lol. But I know this had to happen before a bad infection or other complication.

    And @Casadena I meant to reply to your vent when I read it.  Thumbs down at your H.  Nothing wrong with trying to expose the boys to a restaurant and I agree that skipping ice cream is an age-appropriate and fair response to their behavior.  Your H carrying it to the next day *eye roll* is worse than the boys acting their age.

    I also agree w/ you @Casadena.  Even now our restaurant picks with multiple families are tricky.  Over the summer it was a place that was outside w/ picnic tables because I wasn't about to suggest a place that was fancier than I thought everyone could handle and I had a teenager.   

    The other issue is that dinner time w/ young kids is a hard time of day when many are in that still need a nap phase and that's the time my friend nicely refers to as 'demonic possession hour'.   There's also a reason that you don't ground a kid at that age and instead give them a time out or a short term punishment.  Their brains aren't getting long term repercussions.

    Sounds like your H needs a tub of his own ice cream.
