Hi.
I had a bit of snark written for a certain Doper that is irritating me, but I’m just going to let it go for now.
What’d I do to you?
:d&r:
Hugs and smooches for all of you, my favorite peoples.
Had dinner and a drink with some co-workers. Feeling much better today.
Have a workshop tomorrow so must scoot off to bed.
PS - rigs, if it weren’t for Scottish Darling I would totally have made out with you, jeans and all. 
Ok, so I am NOT happy.
I got up, got ready, got psyched to stare down the [del]evil one[/del] attorney. I arrived at 0857 for the 9 am appt. The attorney was running late. Ok. Half hour passes. The court reported shows up. The attorney calls again–she’s been in a car accident and will be delayed–just a fender bender. Ok. I go to my department (they asked if I wanted to go home and come back, but the delay was only to take an hour–what’s the point?). In my dept, there’s an inservice on normothermia. Ok. Sign in to watch that–half way through, the laptop dies. Tech support is called. There will be a delay.
Enter my coworker, who was called in suddenly this morning d/t another coworker (annoying coworker) calling in. She left so quickly this morning (she got here at 0600, with pts waiting) she had no socks and she took her husband’s car. She needs to go switch cars. I say ok, I’ll wait until you get back.
Tech support gets inservice DVD running again. I watch. Get a call–the attorney is canceling all the depositions today. DVD dies again.
So, I end up waiting for the next hour for coworker to come back–I am supposed to be home for #2 son’s half day of school. Thank God I had him take his key. I made it home minutes prior to his arrival (silly boy used his key anyway–on an open door…).
Bottom line: I got paid for 3 hours of BS, no deposition (which I really wanted behind me) and my NM tried to guilt me into staying because they were short. I’m glad I got paid for (almost) nothing, but I would rather have had the time at home to get some stuff done… I got nothing done at work. Grrrr.
TH called. He is having panic attacks at work and wanted the number to our old marriage counselor. 
He really needs another job. I gave him the number. Very weird Wednesday here.
Be still my heart! It’s warm in here… 
Two small points of mundanity to report.
-
I’m all set and registered for my EMT class starting Monday. My institutional paranoia was getting to me.

Yesterday, VWife let our dog, Loki The Chickenshit, outside to do his thing not knowing there was a chain gang picking up trash along the road. Big white dog chases a dozen prisoners and 2 guards back in to their van before she realized what was going on and got him back in the house.
Blurf. Not much to say, although I finally have a new PCP. I have an appointment to see her in a couple of weeks, but I’m going to try to get an earlier appointment. My fatigue (I feel like such a wimp using that word) is getting worse. I go home most nights after work and cry because I feel so exhausted. I don’t know how I’m going to make it through September and October, when I will need to put in lots of overtime.
OTOH, I feel better today than I have in weeks. So I don’t need to go to the doctor, right?
Afternoon all.
Work…blurf…wanna go home.
Hugs, smooches, feel better vibes to all.
Heh. That’s funny. I was thinking about you when I wrote that. I didn’t want to be the second mumper unfairly admonished this week.
I’m better now. I’ve had some food and a nap.
No more blurfs for me… yet. Feeling much better, but still a little “off”. Hope everyone is feeling better than Monday, at the very least. Shaky week for Mumpers.
And Haze, I think you’re strong and awesome. I never handled anything as gracefully as you have - matters of the heart aren’t easy for anyone. My ex-fiance once said to me that if the same thing had happened to him as what he had done to me, he’d “just get over it and move on”. Until the same thing actually did happen to him, that is. Which means that in the end, everyone was miserable, and the best thing anyone could do was to walk away and move on. You are already on the right track.
I made yummy yummy hermit cookies last night. My husband had never had them or even heard of them before, and now they’re one of his favourites. Nuts and raisens, yum!
My co-worker just called me to tell me I got a package. After he described it to me, and told me the company, I’m sure it’s my new soap mold. It’s a big BEE! I just got a shipment of scented oils in yeterday (they are AMAZING! Thanks to Taters for the inspiration behind buying these new, lighter scents, I’ll send you some samples if you like!) and I’m waiting for my second shipment from another company to come in. The next shipment should contain a scent called Honey, and I think that will go awesome with the bee. I think I will make a clear, honey-coloured bee soap with honey, and an opaque white bee soap with oatmeal, milk, and honey.
chaoticbear, my nick here is Shasta, and I don’t have much to the website yet. (My cool logo, done by my co-worker, Art Student, can be seen here - with my company name - if this violates any rules, I beg forgiveness and please break my link! Minor tweak needed to the coming soon logo - I want Art Student to change it from “bar soap” to “glycerin soap”.) But I did just get officially licenced for business, woohoo! Yay, taxes! So if anyone has any questions concerning soapy stuff, there’s an email link on the bottom of that page - I’m more apt to see and respond to it quicker than here.
I’m so excited!
Yeah, good thing you didn’t name it Shasta Soap. Somebody mighta drank some and sued ya. What? We all know peoples is stoopid.
Meatloaf is in the oven and smellin’ gooooood! Mac & Cheese is already to pop in the oven to do it’s thing. Cabbage is ready to be steamed. Maybe I’ll make some cornbread too. MMMMMMM… I’s hongry!
BBBobbio you’ll do good. The Loki story was funnneee!
rigs sorry about the sucky day. Even sorrier for the fact that you’ll have to go back for the deposition yet again. IMO it should be at your convenience though I know that won’t happen.
Ok, Ima finish up workstuff (only a couple to go!) now.
You will be pleased to hear that I have a Dr appt at 8:45 tomorrow. Now it’s off for Bad Chinese. Laterz…
Blue–have your new PCP check your thyroid levels–TSH and T3, T4. It may be your anti-depressants, but it could be something else entirely. IANAD, etc. Your symptoms sound exactly like mine prior to my dx. (check WebMD.com for signs and symptoms of hyPOthyroidism)
I finally called the music place to get #2 son’s cello returned. We are looking at any and every way to save money (plus, his teacher had him just sit there in the recitals because he’s not as good a player as the others. It’s not like he loves it or anything, either). He will have to take some type of musical something, though–in middle school in this family, you learn to play an instrument. As I have spoken, so let it be done.
I am having almost constant left lower quadrant pain the past few days. Appendix is on the other side. Highly doubtful it’s ovarian–I think it’s colon which means diverticuli or one sort or another. I can’t even REACH my doc this afternoon–answering service. <sigh>
Vundie—FWIW, I thought the mods were a bit heavy handed. Snark is easy; it’s harder to remember that there are real, live people behind these posts sometimes. IOW, sometimes people are insensitive.
Good for you! I hope everything is ok (or easily treatable!)
This has been a sucky work day. The server has been up and down all damn day. Makes for a long, boring, unproductive day.
We had a free lunch pitch from our company’s volunteering council. I’ve signed up to go to their event. They served lousy (if free) pizza, though.
It will be at an elementary school, and we volunteers are going to expand their garden by building more elevated herb/vegetable gardens, and building a tool shed. It’s called Recipe4Success, and it teaches kids from seed to plate about healthy foods to combat childhood obesity. They have chefs come in and teach them cooking skills, too! It’s an awesome program and it will be a lot of fun, I think.
I am filled with Teh Grrrrr. I’ve been reading this blog on the NYTimes (warning: probably requires a logon, free but you still have to sign up), and the antipathy towards childless people is disturbing. I’m way too used to being around the nice folks here who’d never dream of saying anything like “You’ve made your bed… comfy?” about people who don’t have kids and are afraid of getting old alone. I’m just… just GRRRRRRRR.
I went out to lunch with a co-worker and we had yummy Indian food. I spilled curry somewhere, since I get a whiff of it occasionally. Mmm, curry. I had paneer masala, aloo begnan, naan and rice. I guess I won’t need dinner.
rigs, my TSH has been sinking for years. It’s down to .2 now. My T4 is normal. They haven’t tested my T3. Every time I meet a new doctor and complain of fatigue, they say it’s definitely my thyroid. Except that’s never backed up by the blood tests, even though I have all the symptoms. I would definitely download my body into a robot, especially if it meant I could run again. All of a sudden, I really miss being able to run, even though it’s been over a decade since I could. /whine
I’s full! Dindin was tres nummy if’n I do say so myself.
It’s cloudy out like it wants to rain. Anytime now. The human barometer that is my sinuses says it must rain. AAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!
TVMan and I just got back from our least favorite place… Sam’s Club. While we were there I bought a new phone and answering system for home. The old one used to sit on the table where we prepared massive amounts of food (before we moved into the shop) everyday and appears to be covered in some sort of ick making it difficult if not impossible to push all the buttons on it. He’s being very sweet and charging and setting up the new system for me. 
Well, you’re not hypothyroid, then (IANAD). Who knows? Did you get slipped some zombie brains along with your paneer? I’d like a robot to do my housework (like on the Jetson’s), but a robot with my brain is a scary thought.
I had edamame for dinner. And I made a castle cake on impulse (I received a castle mold years ago and just decided to make it today.) No idea why. I need to stay awake until about 8pm when I can go to sleep (of course, by then I’ll have my second wind) so that I can get up at 0400. It’s money. Repeat after me: it’s money.
I’m still green around the gills, but I went to work. It was a blurf-ful day.
Haze - I missed all the excitement, I see, but I’m going to jump on the you’re-better-off-without-him bandwagon. and I speak from experience - while the dynamics were slightly different, The Asshat[sup]TM[/sup] put me through much the same ringer, and the best thing I ever did was extract myself from that relatoinship. So, even though it will delight your parents, go ahead, meet a nice Korean boy, preferrably one who has been Americanized at least a little (that way you won’t have too much of the patriarchal mindset to deal with).
Actually I think it’d be more fun if Haze met a nice Korean boy and totally corrupted him. C’mon! We know you can do it!
rigs know what would be cool? A castle cake with a moat and some moat monsters!
I took a melatonin. It needs to kick in soon. That is all.
