How's everyone? Wishing you all a smooth day!

It's my work Friday but tomorrow is not a real 'day off'.

I made phone calls to the local Men's Warehouse yesterday and DH now owns two new pairs of dress pants that should coordinate with his suit jackets.

I also have to laugh because 3 years ago was Chiquito's First Communion and in prepping his pants for dress rehearsal I overheated the iron and put holes in his pants to the point that he nearly looked like a swashbuckling pirate for his photos. Let's see what we can do to ruin wardrobe when Chiquito is Confirmed in 4 years!

Work is in a state of flux for me but I'm rolling with it.

I finally slept a bit later this morning. I need to be up by 5, but all week I haven't been able to sleep past 4, so this morning felt good. Nothing out of the ordinary today, and we've been enjoying really beautiful (not warm not cool, breezy) weather lately, which is always a plus.

Rainy and chilly here today. N is still sick - horrible cough - and the stomach bug is going around his classroom. G is at school but i'm picking him up early to go to to my parents tonight. Hoping to be out of here around 1:30 but will see how month-end stuff goes. I'll be out as soon as I'm finished.

Meetings at my alma mater all day tomorrow then going out to dinner to celebrate my dad's retirement! Should be a nice weekend. Will miss H and N, but they'll have a fun time at home

I made myself get out of bed at 7 am. Still working to get my sleep schedule back to what I want it to be.

Yesterday, a friend posted about their sober-versary. I commented, congratulating them and stating that mine was in a few days. I went to my tracker b/c I'd been avoiding looking at it recently. I thought it'd be nice to see a number that had 360 in it. My anniversary is TOMORROW. I'm a little in shock that I could forget the date. If you had asked past-me if I thought I could do a year w/no alcohol, I would've laughed and pooh-pooh'd the entire idea. I struggled for 2 years, trying to moderate before I finally said enough, the goal now is to never drink alcohol again. And I'm 364, almost 365 days into that promise to myself. I don't really have a splashy rock-bottom story. I would've, I'm sure, if I had kept going. I'm just really proud to be here right now and celebrating this goal and making new ones. It was probably one of the best decisions of my life and uniquely, totally, my own decision and journey for myself.

I think we're finally out of the thunderstorms for this week. We might have more tonight, but they're isolated and not scary looking. I have to pay my rent for the last time, put in my move-out notice, and call the utility company to let them know. Life is about to change rapidly now.

Today is going ... better than yesterday, I guess? I'm still wiped out, but at least caffeinated enough to function. It's rainy and dreary here today too, but at least it's warm.

I had my last protein bar this morning and have to get to costco tonight. That's it for excitement for me.

I’m thinking about Costco too, and I’m trying to find a balance of strategic buying and not panic buying as the tariffs are going to start hitting. The ports over here are barely getting any containers any more. They’ve had to cut hours of the longshoremen at the Port of LA already.

Week has been okay. I had an annoying talk at work about the shenanigans only to be told they always accommodate me (bs) and I complain too much (also bs). My goal is literally to come in, do my job quickly and quietly and leave. I do everything possible to fly under the radar and they’re the ones that always create issues with illogical chaos. So anyways I started looking for jobs again lol.

My days off were decent. In a stunning turn of events SIL actually apologized for being shitty last month and we were able to air some things out. I never thought I’d see the day. I’m still going to be cautious about the friendship to protect myself, but it’s also hard when I see her trying to grow and be better too.

Bff called me last week and will be in town. Originally was supposed to come over but now I have to travel out to her. I am a little frustrated. I was supposed to finally have her for some uninterrupted hang out time (the first time in probably 8 years) but some plans changed and now I have to be with her and her mom, and her mom has the most chaotic, stressful energy and is a total bigot. I grew up with her and love her, but she sends me over the edge and I need major recovery time after I see her. So now I’m torn between seeing bff for a limited time when we only see each other every 2-3 years to begin with, and staying with them and having the life sucked out of me with chaotic energy and trumpiness.

Thinking about all of you ladies and sending you care.

Booo hiss @leviosaa. Sorry plans were foiled.
@VarunaTT , things will change fast!

i came into work late today for a doctors appt (my annual diabetes follow up). I told my admin I was going to be late and why yesterday, and a nosey coworker overheard. Today she walks by me with “how was the doctor’s?”
Can we make conversation another way? That’s extremely personal and rude.

Update: I've been offered a promotion. I am now in a weird zone and am grateful to get the weekend to mull it over. I need to talk more, evaluate and ask more questions especially as this will involve travel.

Hello! Work has been absolutely bananas lately so things have been nuts. But the boys and good, and the weather is finally nice in Buffalo!!

short+sassy · May 1

@banana468, I hate when I have so much unpleasant stuff to do on a day off that I would rather be at work. Congrats on the promotion!

@VarunaTT, Happy sober-versary! That's a lot of dedication and something to be proud of. Good luck on the move coming up.

@MyNameIsNot, I was sorry to read yesterday what happened to your dog! I'm so glad your puppers wasn't hurt worse. So scary.

Today is my "Friday" also. I took a vacation day last Friday and another one tomorrow because of Jazz Fest. I only work half days on Fridays and don't want to risk someone stealing the spot in front of my house or deal with all the traffic.

I can hear one of the stages from my porch and Joan Jett is playing on that one early Fri. evening. I'm a total 80s girl and so excited!

Well, yesterday didn't turn out as expected. I was in the office for about 30 minutes when DH's primary called and wanted him to go to the ED. His occupational therapist had been to see him in the morning and didn't like his oxygen level and blood pressure. So I took the shuttle to my car and drove home. They worked him up at the ED and discovered he had pneumonia. They kept him under observation overnight and gave him 2 IV antibiotics, magnesium and potassium. He came home this morning on two oral antibiotics for 4 days. He has follow-up blood work on Monday and sees his primary on Tuesday. He seems in good spirits and feels better than earlier in the week.
