Hump Day

Wishing all healthy vibes! Feel like there's so much going around.

Work has been a bit wild (no surprise). Have one of the kids' winter concerts this evening, but otherwise pretty SSDD.

Today was Candy Cane day for baby J and Cody clothes day for M, so far I haven’t totally messed up spirit days so I’m calling it a win. Can’t wait for Friday PJ day for both of them.

My dad was admitted to the ICU last night; exacerbation of his COPD and pneumonia. He waited until the last possible second to get seen, would t listen to my mom (who was a nurse for 40 years) to call his doctor, and waited until he needed an ambulance. He also still smokes and he’s on full time oxygen. So it’s been a day over here.

Oh no @charlotte989875 that’s awful. Healing vibes sent his way, hope he gets released soon.

not SSDD for me. I’m headed to the city for my charity event and Holiday dinner. It’s a Middle eastern cuisine, which normally I like, but it’s family style so I have no say in what I order. Wish me luck. I typically don’t eat much anyway.

I'm just exhausted. I'm white knuckling it through 5 more days of work and then I'm off for 5 whole days. I'll have to go visit Mom, but I'm planning on just staying home and trying to rest.

I've decided not to push for the paralegal position at this time. They gave me the salary range, and I have my guess where I'd end up and it's not enough to justify this kind of push. My supervisor agreed with my analysis. She thought it might be a bit higher, but still not the $10K goal I made as a requirement. Honestly, I'm relieved. I didn't really want to push like this. For $10K raise, I would. Now I don't have to.

Otherwise, SSDD. Alamo Drafthouse has dropped their January calendar and there are so many movies I want to see. I had to make a list b/c I can only buy 2 tickets/day. They're showing the entire 1st season of Twin Peaks, 2 David Bowie movies (I'm hoping some more get added), and some great cult classics I haven't seen there before.

ETA: For those looking to get more protein in breakfast, Premier Protein has pancakes. You can buy them premade or the mix. I do the mix and add the Fairlane milk and an egg. They're very good and nice and dense. I like dense and savory pancakes more than fluffy and sweet, so if you are not that way, you might not care for them.

Oh no @charlotte989875, I'm sorry. I hope he recovers quickly. I feel like my COPD patients go one of two ways, either the second they have the quietest of wheezes, they're in my office for steroids and a breathing treatment, or they drag themselves in when they are in complete distress after everyone around them has been telling them to go in for weeks. There's no in between.

@VarunaTT I'm sorry to hear the raise wasn't what you were hoping. But I'm glad it takes a little off your plate for now and you can work towards your goal at a more manageable pace.

Back at work today and a Bitter Betty about it. They offered me a position (per diem) for the place I interviewed at and I took it. I'm not as excited as I'd like to be but I need some extra options and money. Yesterday I spent a chunk of time getting onboarding stuff together. I'm just really anxious and I hate new social environments but it will be good to expand my career circle. Today I got into work and admin posted survey scores and I was specifically called out as a detractor even though the comment they showed was about the company as a whole, and I wasn't mentioned at all, so that was bullshit. The comment literally said "staff was great." Then someone in admin questioned a clinical decision I made in the snarkiest way, so between those two things I'm pissed off and over it. I told H this morning, "why can't someone just give me oodles of money so I never have to work again," lol.

Otherwise, SSDD. Not feeling especially festive but oh well.

I hosted my book club Christmas party last night. We all had fun - as usual. However, leading up to it I overdid it for two days and didn't sleep well at night because I was so uncomfortable. Today I've taken it super easy, for me anyway, so hopefully I'll sleep better tonight.

Tomorrow I think I'll bake some cookies. I'm saving the thumbprint cookies for when the boys are here next week. I'll not bake as many as usual because we don't need to have them around here. H was diagnosed as a Type 2 diabetic and is on monjauro (sp?). He has lost some weight and is doing well with his daily glucose levels but I don't want the holidays to side track him.

I'm sorry about your Dad @charlotte989875. Hope they can treat him and getting to feeling better.
