It's the first chilly morning here in Florida and I realized that I have no long-sleeved shirts or sweaters that fit. I have put on some weight so the cool-weather clothing I bought last year is now a little more snug than I am comfortable wearing. I need to find someplace that has some non-clingy long-sleeved shirts and light sweaters that I can wear for both work (technically business casual, though more casual) and on weekends for not much money. Does such a place exist?
I'm so happy about the cooler weather. We're in long sleeves and jackets. We may or may not sleep in the tent tonight

Mil, DD and I are chilling in the camper after a very busy morning and afternoon. Mil is actually asleep. We're going to cool hotdogs over the fire later.

It's been a balmy 35 degrees here in the great PNW this week. On Sunday I went out in the afternoon it was 29 degrees.

I'm jealous of all the people who can accrue PTO so much. I always manage to use my time. I accrue 168 hrs/year and I'm lucky to have 40 hours saved at any point in time. And that's with me only taking a week vacation each year. I have a habit of taking a lot of random days off, many of them being "mental health" days. I have been working on trying to build up my PTO in preparation for a possible pregnancy but I'm still only up to 50 hours currently.
I'm currently engaged in a disagreement with a homeowner on who should get credit for the HOA pool being open this summer. Backstory: in years past, it's been too expensive to run the pool, so we let a company come in and lease the pool and health center. So this year, they came to us and said "Hey, we can't afford to open the pool unless you do all this work, because we can't afford it." So fine, we ponied up because the community loves that fucking pool (but hates paying for it).
Anyway, we're in the midst of disagreeing about who should take credit for the fact that it's open this year. And someone else asks her if she's thought of getting on a committee or running for the Board, since she has all these opinions and stuff.
Her answer? Yes, she's thought about it. But she's not going to because she doesn't want to deal with the bitchy attitudes of people who might disagree with her.
So much irony. SO MUCH. I had to leave the thread.
PW'ing it up in here while I avoid work for 2 more hours. #totallynotcoutingdownoranything #wasthathashtagtoolong? #dontcurr
I finally borrowed a friend's charger for their fitbit and confirmed that my fitbit is not broken, my charger is. So happy. Wish I'd done this back in like May when it first started acting up.
I am so tired and ready for this day to be over with. 20 minutes left of work but I'm afraid H didn't get his deer all cut up so I may have to help....we shall see.

It's been a balmy 35 degrees here in the great PNW this week. On Sunday I went out in the afternoon it was 29 degrees.
I did a 10k in Seattle on Sunday morning and it was so freaking cold! I basically sat in my car until about 5 minutes before the race started. But I'll take the cold over all that rain and wind we got last week.
This week is so fucked up. We came back home for a wedding and thanksgiving, the wedding was fun and we got to go to Disneyland for free so that was awesome. But, found out my mom's super rare cancer is spreading. I'm now going to be coming down for Christmas also, it very likely may be mom's last good Christmas. Also, fuck my body for not getting pregnant after 11 months of trying. I just want mom to meet my little ones before she's gone.
I'm not ok and will probably be a downer for a while. Sorry ahead of time.

I'm so sorry JustJudy. Many T&P's for your and your family. Don't worry about being a downer. If you need to vent or share your feelings feel free to come to us. Or pm me if you prefer. I lost my mom to cancer in 2007...right after thanskgiving.

You take the cold, I'll take the wind and rain, deal?
JustJudy Biggest hugs. I'm so sorry to hear about your mom and I completely understand about wanting to have your kids meet people you care about. I lost that battle with time last year, myself, when my Lola died and I don't know if I'll ever get over it. If you need someone to vent to (and maybe get a drink with, idk), you know how to get ahold of me. <3 *squeeze*

Oh for sure. Although my little area is looking at potential snow flurries tonight, so we'll see.
lilsneezy thank you for asking about my monster! His surgery went perfect, and his recovery was great, but then he started getting the same symptoms, he has the same problem just on another vertebrae! So we are trying a vet that does dog chiro, acupuncture, and traditional veterinary medicine. I hope it helps! I can't keep doing a $4k surgery for different vertebrae :/
I am going to semi-post and run, I am doing a transport this morning, pug mix mama and puppies, 2 chi-weenies, and a fluffy medium mix of some sort. I will try to get some cute pics to post
Oh no! I'm sorry to hear the surgery didn't completely fix the problem I've seen 3 different chiropractors for my dog. The first and third chiropractor I saw were awesome (I would've stayed with the first one but she stopped practicing). The second one I saw was really hokey and she would do all this unnecessary stuff (like waving a smoke stick around my dog) to try to get my bill higher. The last chiropractor I saw was amazing. I wish I found him first! He really knew his shit and genuinely wanted to help animals. He didn't even charge me for my first (and unfortunately my last) visit. So just be aware that not all chiropractors are the same and you might have great results with one, but not another. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions!
TTC #1 since August 2013 DX: Endo November 2014: Hysteroscopy, D&C June - September 2015: Clomid + Novarel + IUI #1-3 January 2017: Laparoscopy - endo removed
I'm so sorry you got that news about your mom JustJudy. How upsetting. It's totally understandable to be frustrated with TTC. I know it's a horrible feeling to want your loved ones to be with you for a special moment or occasion and be helpless to make it happen. My thoughts are with you and your mom. Many hugs for you.
