Ugh, yesterday was not at all what I needed. I had stomach issues in the morning, Josh finally said something about me treating him with “barely disguised disgust” all week, a brief bit of time in my office to actually do work, then we all went to lunch, started a “team bonding session” which consisted of playing Cards Against Humanity, got sick AGAIN, went home at 2:30, changed clothes, talked to Josh briefly since he had also gotten off work early, both went for hair cuts, came home and cooked dinner, made the menu for next week, made the grocery list, defrosted the big freezer, ran 2 loads of laundry, and then passed out.
So I didn’t really get time to do any of the creative or fun stuff I was hoping to. Actually, I haven’t had a lot of time for that lately at all. It seems like there’s always something more important that needs to get done. That totally sucks, but this weekend will be more of the same.
I need to finish the chores, run the errands, pay my bills, put the freezer back together, go to my office and defrost the freezer there, and who knows what else. I do have a pretty decent coupon for the craft store I like, and I would really like to head out there and stock up a little on yarn. We’ll see.
I haven’t been keeping track of the “one good thing” each day this week, so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to pull that off. I’m still going to try to get my CCC entry done. I really just kind of think that most of my goals for the week have fallen completely to the wayside because of all the bullshit going on in my life. And that really sucks.

That is a guarantee that I would be written up for something. I don’t hold any punches on that game, it would be hard to tame myself for work.
I am sorry everything seems to be going out of control. Hopefully you can adjust your goals to what works in the moment and keep moving on.

It was a no holds barred game – and my boss won.
Things will straightened out eventually, they always do, somehow. I do feel better about how I’ve been handling things lately, so that’s a plus.

I’ll be alright, little set backs aren’t enough to keep this Mama down for long. Sometimes the best thing to do is surrender for today, fall back, and come out swinging twice as hard tomorrow.

You get more done sick than I do well. Let him run out of laundry – see if he figures out that machine.

It’s a sickness in and of itself. 😉 He figured some things out yesterday – namely that my bank account isn’t the ONLY one that can pay for shit. 😀

It was amazing. I think I might have finally figured out the absolute perfect breading mix for the steaks. And, the best grocery store to get the meat from. 😀
