Weekend Chitchat

Somehow I made it to work. Although everyone keeps telling me how bad I look and that I should have stayed home. Thanks people! I think this sinus congestion is turning into an infection. It just won't go away and now there seems to be a lot more blood. Anybody know how tot tell for sure?

Still not sure how I got out of bed after checking the weather and seeing -22c but feels like -32c. Wtaf! (That's -25F). This weekend it's supposed to feel like -37c!

And free childcare while you shop?


Date night last night was good, and I really felt like DH and I had a chance to reconnect. We haven't been fighting but so much of our interaction lately is ... not very married like I guess. We don't have any days off together right now so its just three hours in three evening that's full of dinner and chores and putting the boys to bed. Not much connection time.

My sister put an offer in last night and it was accepted. The house is 5 blocks away from mine and just off out normal walking route. I'm super excited for her!

[dreemkin]

I have very sick looking excretions (is that the right word?) too. Mine are bloody as well mishka29. I think I'm okay though because I don't have sinus pressure. When I went last winter the doctor wanted me to have had the illness for two weeks before prescribing an antibiotic.

[aggiebug]

mishka29 I am sorry you are still feeling so crummy. I had the same experience as dreemkin with the Dr wanting me to be sick 2 weeks before prescribing anything for a sinus infection because they can be just viral.

kartish yay for a nice date night and heck yes for childcare while shopping. Ikea has that!



S is still in the throes of potty training. I think it's going ok but not awesome. Really I just hate it, and she is stubborn so while she is all on board if she doesn't want to take the time to go she is really difficult to get to go. So I am ready for H to be home tomorrow and to take on some of the responsibility of it.

[mishka29]

Yeah I was going to hold off but after work I drove by the walkin clinic and it was empty so I thought what the hell. Dr gave me some antibiotics. I wish I could say I was strong enough to wait a few days and see how it goes but I'm not.

The wind outside is like getting hit with needles in the face. not cool!!

If you got them I'd say take them. Hope they work quick

[dreemkin]

mishka29 yay! You'll feel better with those!

aggiebug I hate PT too. It is probably one of my least favorite parenting duties haha. Hope she continues to do okay and gets great soon!

lilyelayne did you take G to dinner the other night?

[dreemkin]

kartish date night sounds amazing! And congrats to your sister. I would be so excited to have my sister that close!

[lilyelayne]

mishka29 hope the meds help quickly!

kartish I’m with dreemkin- having my sister that close would be a dream come true!

Yeah we all went to dinner. Even sick, G was better behaved than my nephews. They super need to go back to school; this extra cold Christmas break is making them stir crazy & cranky IMO.

[dreemkin]

lilyelayne i get that though. We are so ready to get back into a schedule here. We had cabin fever this week.

Today we went to Sam's Club and bought out the place. Haha, not really but our membership is ending and we aren't ever gonna go again so I stocked up on things that I can't get at Costco. We used up our cash rewards so that helped with the cost 🤑

Then H took care of some things around the house which was nice. But I am so upset: another window spontaneously broke last night. This is the third one over this year and last. All at night or in the morning, in the winter. They are double pane and it is always just one pane so we are thinking it has something to do with the gasses in between the panes escaping?? Does anyone have experience with this? The windows are 15 years old. I really don't want to be taking them to a glass repair place for a quick fix (they kind of damaged the wood on the window getting the old glass out) if this is going to be happening every year! 😣

[mishka29]

That's crazy that your windows are just breaking. I've never heard of that but it is an irrational (less irrational now) fear I have of a window just exploding. Hopefully it's an easy fix!

[kartish]

mishka29 feeling better on the meds I hope? I hate how long a sinus infection takes to go away.

dreemkin that is scary about your windows, is it in your budget to replace them? After it's happened three times I think I'd assume a defect in the glass.

We went over to a frowns house lay night to do our Christmas exchange and play games. It was a fun evening but it always gets off to a slow start at there house and we end up staying way late. But V had fun playing with his friends

[dreemkin]

Can you imagine winning the 570+ million lottery??

Yes, I do it all the time.

Winning tip- decide what percentage of the money, regardless of amount, you would want to give away to family/friends and set that aside and divide accordingly.

[mishka29]

We booked the girls bday party. It's a double party at the same play center as last year lol.

I'm feeling a bit better today. The face pain is lessening which is nice.

Yes. DH and I have talked about what we’d do with it. But we don’t buy lotto tickets so it’s a moot point.

I actually have some things written down in a notebook, what charities and organizations I'd donate to, how I would set up my family, stuff like that. I figure it ups my karma . I only ever buy a ticket if I go up to Idaho so not likely to happen.
