My oldest DD's birthday is today, and I cannot believe that she's 11. I'm having some AF-related stomach issues and couldn't sleep past 3am, I'm already feeling it but I did at least have plenty of time to make her breakfast request of pink pancakes.
Played ok at golf last night and it was a gorgeous night to be out. Caught up on last week's Summer House ep when i got home, then was up like 3 times with kiddos. H and I are currently sleeping in our guest room while we reno the primary bath and i think it's throwing off the boys sleep knowing we're somewhere else.
Giving a short career presentation to some interns this afternoon and otherwise just plugging along on some "back end" type work.
I have been dealing with a terrible rosacea flare for the last couple months and it's getting so painful and ugly. Mostly on my right cheek and chin. Derm gave me a different topical to try that hasn't been doing much so i'm also trying to pinpoint some dietary adjustment to help get it under control. I knew never getting acne as a teenager was too good to be true. (also if anyone has suggestions, please tell me. I'm desparate at this point)
WFH today and I’m truly so much more relaxed when I do. Things are chaotic at work and I’m just ready for them to slow down. I keep making more and more lists.
J has a cough but his stomach bug is finally better so I’m taking that as a win this week.
@Casadena if this is an unusual flare and you can’t tie it to food, new stressors, weather changes, meds, etc, try looking at your skincare products to see if any of them have made recent formulation changes. Keeping a flare diary can be helpful but is also a PITA.
Not too much happening over here. Wish someone would give me a $400 million gift but that’s only reserved for corrupt politicians.
Happy bday to DD @ei34 @Casadena, I have rosacea as well (can’t they make this easier to spell?). I’m getting an IPL next week which should really help, they say. I haven’t had a flare up in years but I usually just go to the derm.
i had some hard ego hits in the dating world recently. I decided to shut my paid acct down for a bit. Men ghosting, fizzling out, reaching out to me from the past and then forgetting we even dated with an oopsie (seriously, you gotta date a lot to forget we went out on 6 dates 1.5 years ago!). How many hits can I take? Lol although to be honest I went to a psychic in January and she said this would happen. Specifically said i’d date but nothing would go anywhere till the end of the year. And even used the word ghosting. Also said “and he’s new. No one from your past”. I trust this woman a lot so I don’t even know why I entertained the two that came out of the woodwork. My calendar is packed and I’m OK socially. I just get lonely sometimes even when I’m surrounded by wonderful friends. 🙂↕️
I just got out of all day training and my brain feels like mush. But I think the new software is fine and it'll be so nice to not work out of a virtual machine anymore. The old program was not meant for a national work office environment so it's slow as molasses and then the virtual machine on top of it, meant I probably lost at least an hour a day to just waiting on machines to do their work.
Friend came over last night for pizza and gaming. No plan tonight. I found out an acquaintance died by suicide last night. I'm stunned. It wasn't his first attempt and I knew that. I'm still just in shock though. It's a loss to our community and I'm kind of staggered.

Happy Birthday day @ei34 DD!
Pink pancakes sound great for DD’s bday!

The clouds are gray but the baseball field is dry for now. I am headed there in my day glow yellow sweatshirt to cheer on my little guy.
