It's Monday (randoms)

[butlerfan]

Can't sleep due to coughing. Then I'm freezing then sweating, etc.

H says I should go into doctor again since it's been 2-2.5 weeks of this and cough is worse now.

[gabride2010]

Sorry you're sick butlerfan. I think it is a good idea to go see your doc again. I hope you feel better and get some sleep soon!

[wannabmama]

I agree with YH butlerfan a doc visit sounds like it's in order! Feel better!
I'm at the RE, got stuck in traffic 100ft from the parking lot and went from early to late. So annoying! Happy Monday!!

shopgirl24, you inspired me. Currently sitting with the Velcro rollers in!

I'm a big fan of the office nap caitost21 (it's admittedly easier now that I work for myself, ha).

[akraus2015]

I can't decide if I like the rollers or not.

Pros:
- I didn't have to do much heat styling (just blow dry a little bit).
- There's not much product in it at all (a little bit of root plump and a few spritzes of hairspray).
- My hair is really soft.

Cons:
- It took just as long as normal to do my hair.
- It looks a little frizzy.
- It achieved essentially the same thing that this styling tool I have also does.

Maybe my hair is just too short still? I got volume but was hoping for some curl. What do you all use to curl or style your hair?

akraus2015, I've been trying to curl mine with my flat iron lately. I am still getting the hang of it, but it's starting to work. Just make sure you stop before you get to the ends or you will have a tight, springy, curl.

I usually end up with too tight curls when I use my flat iron. It worked better when my hair was long but after we lost Emmett it all started falling out in big chunks and I had to cut it off. It's much healthier now but only about shoulder length.

I had the stupids yesterday and instead of putting my coffee on the timer I accidentally brewed a whole pot at 10pm last night. I didn't want to waste it so I put it on ice with milk and some vanilla extract and it made a pretty delicious iced coffee. #mondaywin

Anyone know if Target has planner stuff back in their dollar aisle? I got a weekly notepad last year for my work desk and I'm down to the last 5 pages so I need a new one by the end of the month or so.

Also, Good Morning.

I was there last week and saw to-do list type notepads, but I didn't see any calendar type ones.

I love Target dollar bins.  I'm planning on going after work today though because I want this hat, so if I see any I'll let you know.

I got my new raincoat and I've been waiting quite impatiently for it to rain enough to go for a walk in it. I can't wait for the winter rains! I do need to get some new pants, though, none of mine fit right anymore. And the ones that do are too long.

Also, shout out to all my loss ladies, since October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, I made a post on the Pregnancy Loss board as a place to share your story, or talk about what you're doing to remember, or even just light a candle. Check it out of you're so inclined.

Thanks!! I always spend too much if I go to Target. My list pad just has all the days of the week and like 10 lines below it, but it really keeps me on track. I just know this week will be awful if I try to leave and come back at work.

I'm going to try to play here this week. This new job has had me so busy 24/7 but I think I've finally got a routine down and can hopefully have more free time on my hands!

This is wonderful @led. Thank you! I will go check it out now.

Feel better butlerfan -
I'm under the weather too. I've had increasing left sided pain over the past week fews and today it feels like I was punched repeatedly in the back. I'm conveniently off today for a doctor's appointment.

You need to get hemming tape. I think there is a real word for it.

Someone here knows.

I'm out of granola bars. 😥

[kayladawn91]

The weather needs to make up its mind ASAP. Is it fall or summer?
