Work is for the birds (and other randoms 1/2/17)

[rooskie]

I need entertainment to get through today.

[gabride2010]

Boo for being at work rooskie! Hopefully you don't have to be there much longer!

H and I just got done doing Crossfit. Breakfast is done too. Now we're watching TV on the couch.

[bex15]

I was woken up early by a Thunderstorm, so tired. I can't wait for Bachelor tonight!!

[Deleted]

Ss- I don't have a job. Whomp whomp.

I got a bloody nose while I was on the toilet this morning and I think, if you have to get one, that's the ideal place to get a bloody nose.

I wish. We took our New Years holidays last week on Thursday and Friday so we are all back today.

Except my boss is WFH all week so I feel no motivation.

[rooskie]

I wish I would have bought the $5 Target beauty box this morning and I'm kicking myself for it now.

[butlerfan]

Am supposed to be at work but had to call in because still sick. Now H has it as well.

Is it gone already? Yikes. I got it earlier. I like that they had a 5 and 10 option this month .

[thechickencoop]

H and I are both off today. I might work a few hours later to make up some for this week. I'm only part time so I don't get holiday pay for today 😒

[MrsRC88]

I'm at work. Jan 1st is a "floating" holiday... I figure I would save it for later this year.

I think everyone in my department is working today, but it's quiet- everyone is getting caught up.

[icedtea]

I am working today, but am also still in my pajamas. Should probably shower at some point. It's nice and quiet, though, because lots of people are still out.

Apparently we might get snow this weekend. Anyone else in the southeast have it on the forecast?

It says no longer available. I have curly-ish hair so a lot of the $5 box would have been nice to try.

Next month maybe I'll put it in my planner.

I'm still in Ohio until Wednesday. No work for me!

[daisy818]

Today is my last day off and DH just seems to be in a cranky mood. So that's fun.

[ceejay]

Sorry to rooskie and everyone else stuck at work today.

butlerfan - hope you feel better soon and I'm sorry your H is now sick too. How did the respite care go?

This is my last day at home. I've been off of work for a week and a half. I am SO not looking forward to going back. I haven't worn real clothes, put on makeup, or done my hair the whole time I've been home. It's been wonderful.

[ceejay]

Also, I FINALLY finished Gilmore Girls! I started in early November and watched the entire original series before starting the new Year in the Life episodes. I'm so glad I did it that way, and it really helped me appreciate the new episodes more than I would have otherwise.

I'm tempted to bump the GG thread from like a month ago but I won't... haha

[nuggetrn]

I am at work. Everyone in the office is upset because apparently in years past we have always had this day off. I would have loved to have gotten to stay home and sleep today. But oh well I guess. It is almost over.

Respite overall was fine but apparently the flu (or norovirus we are suspecting) was going through their household and they didn't tell anyone. And now we are sick...ugh.

[bex15]

That's annoying that they didn't tell you they were sick butlerfan

[bex15]

I got MH an Echo Dot for Christmas and he's driving me insane with it

I hadn't noticed.... I just looked at the forecast... Potential for 1-3" of snow! Ugh, I hope not! It's still early, it can still change all to rain. And if it doesn't, at least it's on the weekend.

I'm doing the same thing! I'm on season 5, I think. I totally did a lot of binge watching while I was on vacation.

Ugh. That's pretty rude that they didn't tell you they were sick. Sorry!

Yeah, I've been watching 2-3 episodes a night for basically the past 2 months! It was really fun to watch it all again, and I don't know what I'm going to do with my evenings now that I'm done.  I just need to find another long show to binge watch. I've been thinking about going through Mad Men again from the beginning... just need to get H on board with that. haha

[MrsRC88]

Sorry YH is sick too butlerfan. I hope you're both better soon. Pretty shitty that they didn't tell you there was an illness going around.

[bex15]

I plan on attempting to start a Whole30 tomorrow so naturally I have to clean out all of our bad food, today's meals include queso, macaroni and cheese and sticky toffee cake.

I bought the Target mystery beauty box over Christmas. I feel like it's mostly shampoo and conditioner samples. Not impressed.

+1. My brother got me one for Christmas and I don't know what to do with it.

He just won't stop asking it questions, requesting random songs, etc. like every 5 seconds he's yelling something at it.
