Guise-- I had to go to the ER bc of some issues I'm having (GI docs couldn't see me until next week). 3 hours in the waiting room was terrible, but now I'm on morphine and woah. I'm probing under the influence. I bet this post will sound silly when I'm not high on pain meds...

Oh no! Sorry about the ER wait but glad the morphine is helping! And lol @ probing under the influence.

The people accepted our offer, so DF (dear fiance, yup I'm almost 37 and pregnant before getting married, yet again to make silly people clutch their pearls) and I are becoming home owners!
Outside city limits, so hello my love of chickens. Closer to our jobs and school. It's ugly, but solid. In-laws and DF are refusing to let me do any demolition (two walls), painting or floor refinishing. So I just get to pick colors. Fine. Floors are dark walnut mostly, some oak and maple. Woodwork and trim have been patched and not great condition so that's painted white. Not my favorite, but oh well. Kitchen has painted white cabinets, painted tin backsplash which will be going far away, and slate colored tiles. Bathrooms have white tiles. Upstairs has carpet which will be going far, far away.
So pretty neutral, cool leaning tones. I have a Sherwin Williams color book, Clark & Kensington color book, and Valspar color tag thing. This is fun....

Get feeling better, and enjoy the morphine! Post sounds fine right now.
Ok. Now getting admitted to hospital. So have to figure out childcare/breastfeeding/pumping logistics in the middle of the night. Normally hospital is supposed to be breastfeeding friendly, so nurslings can stay with moms if an adult visitor is there too. But it's flu season, so visitor policy is modified and I'm just not sure. I've been awake for 23 hours so maybe if I can get some rest it will all seem better later. I'm probably over sharing, but at least I'm getting closer to full member status....

I had my first honest-to-goodness, real solid food meal tonight, since getting blindsided by DH over the weekend. H is traveling for a few days, so we've boarded the dog, which meant DS and I weren't in any hurry to get home after DC. I was all ready to heat up some leftovers at home, when we were walking by Cafe Rouge and he said he wanted fries. So in we went, and we had a lovely dinner. DS had chicken strips and fries and I had a minute steak, fries and green beans. Simple enough that my stomach could handle it. I think it helped that I had spent the bus ride doing some positive visualization, thinking about the fresh start that DS and I are going to make when this mess is all sorted out.
It's been an exhausting week. I feel like Friday is already here, and I'm panicking because everywhere I have called around has long waits to get in to see a relationship counselor. FX that something turns up soon. I also now have a short list of lawyers to look at, but I am oh so tired. I think I am going to call it an early night.
Can I boldly suggest that you get some individual counseling as well? Not that there is a single thing wrong, I just know that when I was going through my divorce, I felt like my whole world was upside down and counseling was very helpful to me. (in fact I still go occasionally, just not for the same reasons)
Not so bold, it's very sensible. Actually I have an appointment with an individual counsellor this afternoon. I was just venting about how hard it is to find someone for couples.

I'm glad to hear it. I felt bad suggesting it, because it is one of those things that some people take the wrong way. Good luck with the counsler this afternoon.

I saw a counselor for about six months after my brother almost went through a divorce. I know that sounds like a strange catalyst, but it was so helpful. T&P for you, freez.
Nik Pal, hope you're able to get some relief even though rest in a hospital is an oxymoron. I apologize if any of your night nurses seem extra loud. He or she just may not realize how loud they are (raising hand here).
I was going to go to a la leche league meeting this morning but snow happened yesterday and I don't want to go out yet. I'm disappointed, but now I have more time to probe
TJ's chicken! Don't ask her tho, since she's been asked eleventy billion times. Most recently by me.
Ok, share please I don't care who. I have big chicken fans here, I need new recipes.
The modified version is in the previous posts between flumma, sara and me. Take a screenshot so we don't have to keep harassing TJ for it LOL. I do know the original recipe calls for a packet of Lipton's French Onion soup mix instead of caramelized onion.
I didn't know until last week that my state, California, had such a low vaccination rate. Then in this morning's news, I saw a headline that a San Diego mom started a petition to the White House about vaccines. I thought it was going to be more anti-vax and was pleasantly surprised it's pro-vax.
I just prepped my coffee and started putting the fixings in my blending vessel. Then I opened the 'fridge and realized I JUST used the last of the milk for H's french toast.
I seriously looked at the bottle of 1.5 oz of breastmilk that I pumped last night. I looked at it for, like, twelve seconds. I couldn't do it. But I thought about it.
And then I remembered the ice cream in the freezer. Whew.
She was up at 4 crying on and off til 630 when we got up and gave her food. Then she was fine. I'm not feeling as crappy as I did last night but not perfect. but also didn't get a good temp due to M. I took it but of course it's high cuz if been trying to comfort her for a while before I remembered. I was a cranky bitch to BM but that's not necessarily telling of anything.
Completely nightshade free (assuming the soup mix is.) But I kinda like it better grumpycakes way with a whole caramelized onion and 3 cups of broth instead of the soup mix and water.
I'm only on chapter 5 of the book club book. It's driving me crazy to see that there are new comments in the bookclub thread and I can't click to read any of them. I just want the blue dot to be gone.
