Last night I bought some coat hangers and went to hang our outerwear in the newly dedicated coat closet. Our winter coats have been packed in a cardboard moving box in the basement since our July move. I took them out and they were COVERED with this disgusting yellow mold. AAHHH! I'm going to wash them, but my hopes aren't high. I believe we just lost hundreds of dollars in outerwear.
Yay for short week, getting a hair cut and shopping littlelion! That sounds like a nice long weekend.
DH and I agreed last night that the ceiling in a few rooms in our new house aren't really salvageable, so we're going to tear them down and replace them. They'll be in our tenant's unit, so at least we can put in more sound proofing while they're down, but it doesn't help the running joke I have with DH that we only spend money to fix stuff for other people. *Sigh*. One of these days we'll do some fixing up for our own unit...
Good Morning all! It is so rainy and windy here today. It makes me so excited that TOMORROW we are leaving for Florida for 5 days. The forecast there shows 85-90 and sunny. Is it tomorrow yet?!
notagoddess, that sounds awful! I hope they can be saved.
I'm just chugging along this week. I was off Monday, so it feels like a nice short week to me. Yoga tonight, then cleaning our house for the Halloween party we're throwing Saturday night.
At some point I have to bake a bunch of cookies since I got a ton of Halloween cookie cutters. After the house is clean, I also have to decorate and figure out what food we're serving. EEP.
GL with the renos ellabee - that sounds like a big job!
Also, JEALOUS pinkcat!!!! It is rainy and crappy here too.
Have fun at your party ironbaby! I wanted to throw one this year but SS1 has a hockey game out of town so we will be going to that and then taking him trick or treating in that random city lol since we'll be back too late for him to Trick or Treat with his neighbourhood friends.

Sucks that it is so slow on here today. It's hard to procrastinate at work without some GKU fun. Here is new addition to our zoo, red pandas. It's your daily dose of cuteness
I gave 5 weeks notice that I am leaving at my current job. I was thinking that this is really generous, but my boss just got in my face that I should have given 6 weeks.
This is going to be a painful transition.
Jerk. Professional courtesy is 2 wks. Not that they'd give you that if it came down to a lay off. I gave 2 wks and had 3 days vacation scheduled in there.

Coat update: the mold came off my trench coat! It still smells a bit mushroomy, but it might be salvageable. I'm not sure how our wool coats and parkas will hold up to the heavy duty wash cycles, but hopefully I'll be able to save at least some of them.

Wow what an asshole. You're only required to give 2.
DH asked me when I can test. I said Saturday. He asked "like 3 days?"
Me: No. In 10 days lol. DH "jeez. 10 days, 10 months - why does everything take so long?" Me: "well I'm making a baby, not a hot-pocket." DH: it should be like a hot-pocket

Gross. Screw them. That was above and beyond what you had to do.
I gave 4 weeks at my last job, and it was only because I couldn't start at the new job until then anyway, and I was on good terms with my boss and wanted to help train my replacement.

Can you try the dry cleaner?
I've found conflicting reports online on whether that can get rid of the mold. I would try it, though. I have a wool coat in on a heavy duty cycle with cold water. I'll see how it responds to that. If it's partially gone and the coat has not shrunk, I will take it to the dry cleaners and ask them about the remaining coats as well.
I woke up today to find that our sump pump had some sort of crisis, and our cellar paid for it. H came home from work and fixed it, and now I have to mop till the end of time. Ugh. On the plus side, I made a bunch of snickerdoodles and chocolate chip cookies.

So, I'm just gonna be a huge AW in here.
My week starTed off so shitty - CD1 on Sunday, I drank all the wine, moped around that night, etc.
Monday morning, I get into work and my coworkers left doughnuts and a raspberry pastry thing on my desk. *they know me so fucking well!!!!*
Then! Yesterday I got my CD3 bw drawn and this Friday I have a check up with my pcp, I'll probably request just some general bw since it's been years. H and I were talking last night and he goes, 'I should probably go to the Dr too and get my bw checked since I've been off my thyroid meds and it's ben a while, I bet my thyroid can affect my fertility too'. UMMMM H? WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?? Haha this is a man I literally had to BEG to go to his dr when he was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and gout, now he's all about it.

It's raining here too. We got Chipotle for lunch as an office because one of our coworkers is leaving tomorrow. They put the rice with cilantro in my burrito bowl...grr! I asked them to use plain rice (I even called and asked them how to word it to make sure there would be no cilantro in it).
I would rather be at home with H, and now I want to bake cookies!

My new coloring book Lost Ocean came in today! I'm so excited! Also while picking it up, one of the booksellers at the bookstore didn't know she was updating her iphone. I walked her through the steps and she paid for the journal I was picking up. It was crazy. I helped her and kept shopping. Went to the register 30-45 minutes later and the other bookseller was said, "Hey, Mary is picking up this journal for you as a thank-you for helping her with her phone." Crazy morning.

Maybe take them to a dry cleaner? Probably cost you more than doing it yourself, but they might do a better job and you could end up salvaging more of your coats.
I'm trying really, really hard to cut back on sugar and bread and stuff. So of course, twice this week someone's brought in doughnuts.
And seriously, I couldn't very well say no today, because it was Timbits. It's not like I can have these all the time, since there's no Timmies in the states.
