Wednesday RANDOMS

[kayladawn91]

I'm starting this today because my school has an early release and my job starts a little late anyway so I have a 5 hour work day today and am so pumped! How does everyone else's day look? Anything exciting?

My day looks shitty. My bum ankle is acting up and I'm contemplating getting on meds again for anxiety/depression.

Sunshine and rainbows.

[lovetruly2015]

Working at 4. Untill then nothing much.

Good morning. I'm attempting to hem my new pair of jeans before work. Why do pants manufacturers think the bigger your booty is the longer your legs must be? Not true. Big ole booty and short stumpy legs here.

Do you get the waistband gap too? If the pants fit over my thighs there is gap at the waist big enough for me to fit a fist in. I hate wearing a belt and having it bunch up so much :/

I'm working from home today and had to turn the heat back on. Where did the warm weather go?

I always have that problem. I'm in love with target jeans. Their jeans have some pretty decent stretch to them. So I can get them to stretch over my booty and thighs and they will still fit ok in the waist. But they're like a mile line and the shorts were too short. I wish women's pants came in lengths like men's.

Raise your hand if you wish it was Friday!

My day looks loooong. I have a lot of work to get done today, but my motivation is at about -345

[motleycrew90]

I'm getting ready to go to bed after a 12 hour shift. I've got a million things running through my mind as we are moving tomorrow. Probably only half our things are packed. I've also been doing research on a video survallance system called ring. We are moving to a neighbor hood that is not the best and while we do have ADT, I want some video survallance. This is the website for it www.ring.com. Seems pretty legit to me. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Wednesday is my work from home day, and usually a day I look forward to... But I have to go to the dentist at lunchtime, and I'm a nervous wreck.

I hope it goes well! I can't remember the last time I went to a dentist. That's bad.

It will be ok!! I promise. It may take some time but once you are all done with your dental journey (is that too dramatic a phrase?) you will feel so much better.

I go every 6 months and I am terrified that they will get in there and tell me my teeth are a peanut butter cup away from falling out of my head and everything is always fine. I know your anxiety is probably worse than mine, but, anecdotes and all.

I haven't been to the dentist in 7 years. I've also never had a cavity so I'm terrified that if I go I'll have a mouthful of cavities. So I just keep putting it off

The longer you put it off, the more cavities you might get...

I completely understand! But at the same time, the health of your mouth can impact your overall health, so you should really consider getting in there.

There are a lot of dentists who can be sensitive and gentle with you if you explain your needs.

All of this. 

I HATE going to the dentist. HATE.  However, I found a dentist who lets me pick a Pandora playlist to play in the room and gives me a warm blanket and neck pillow.  We talked about all of my dentist fears prior to her even going near my mouth.  It was the best experience I've ever had at the dentist.

I need to vent.

I went for a run last night, because no one showed up for the group bike ride I was supposed to do, and it's not safe to ride solo.

It was absolutely terrible. Hot, my shorts kept riding up, I started crying. I wanted to quit so many times. I was heading back to home when a massive storm hit. I ran into Walgreens to see if I could use their phone to call H to pick me up, but because we still have cell phone numbers with SC area codes, and live in NC, they wouldn't let me call him. I waited out to the storm, ran the 1.5 miles back home, and collapsed into tears when he ran outside to catch me with a towel.

Once I calmed down, he broke the news to me that work called him while I was out, and he has to leve for Texas this morning, and not come back home til Friday. He just had a long conversation with his boss last week about needing to be home for a while, but this is an "emergency." I burst into tears again, and sobbed uncontrollably for another hour.

I slept like shit. And I actually need to accomplish things at work today. Sorry, had to get that off my chest.

TL;DR: yesterday sucked, H is out of town again, and today will suck too.

ironbaby - as someone whose husband worked a travel-heavy job for 4 years, you have my sympathy. I can't believe that they didn't tell him throughout the interview process what the travel would be like; seems like they would be losing employees left and right with that. Is he looking for something new already, or have they promised him that it's going to slow down?

[summerdonna]

Hugs singingsea. I have also thought about going back on my antidepressants but haven't taken the plunge yet. Hopefully your day turns out ok.

Also hugs to ironbaby. Sucks your husband is leaving again.

Both. Every step of the way, they have told him "this isn't normal" and that the travel will slow down. That was, in fact, the reason that he was out of town last week; he went to the home office to get certified so he'd be able to do more local work on his own. He was all but promised that he would be home for a while after last week. They also promised that he would have plenty of advance notice for overnights. So far, the most notice we've had is on a Friday that he'd leave on Monday. Several times now they have called the night before.

He is also looking for a new job. Early on, it was at my insistence, but now he is realizing that they are just jerking him around and he's sick of it too. He is devoting every spare moment to job searching.

I'm sorry singingsea - do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself.

I am sooooooooooo disappointed with the Jem trailer. It's so NOT truly outrageous.

Thanks. I'm hesitant still due to my experiences with Zoloft and Wellbutrin. Those turned me into a zombie. Sometimes I feel like I'd rather feel everything than nothing at all. However I know there are new drugs that have come out since I was last on anything. I've been really struggling lately.

[rivers and roads]

ironbaby, what a rough yesterday on all fronts. Sorry your husband is leaving AGAIN. I'm sure that's crazy frustrating for the both of you. His work sounds like they're just being manipulative. I hope he finds a new job soon.

@ismellbooks, I'd "slide down a little more" on a gyno table every day if I never had to go to the dentist again. I waited 4+ years after HS/my mom stopped being in charge of my appointments. It wasn't the best, but a good dentist makes all the difference! At the worst, it's all just temporary discomfort and then you'll feel SO much better. Good luck!

[kellybenelly83]

ironbaby that is awful, I'm sorry you are having a rough week. You totally deserved a good cry. I hope he finds a new job soon.

[teraiin]

That moment when you forget you have a class scheduled this morning. Sigh.

Good news is the fence is FOR SURE tomorrow. There was a very long phone call explanation last night.

I'm sorry you have been struggling lately. Wellbutrin is what I was on for years and it worked really well for me. I also took Zoloft a long time ago and I didn't like it either. I'm sure you could talk to your doctor to figure out something different to try. I hope things start to get better for you.
