I am a complete mess but thanks to you asking, you reminded me that I need to call my Dr. for a perscription refill! LOL

How are you? 

Pretty good! DS turned One over Easter Break. Family came to town from both sides. Chaotic, but fun. DS and I did some fun things: strawberry patch, park, egg hunt, farm, etc. and got some good quality time in! 

Overheard DH tell a family member that we would be looking to move when we're older... but after SD12 graduated. DH and I have discussed it some... but glad he can envision our life after SD turns 18. This would not have been something he said in the past! Made me realize he has made a TON of progress with her "mini-wife" syndrome. Which makes me happy

I'm ready to reach through my computer screen and throatpunch Brown Noser. You asked! Lol

Hope you're having a better morning than I am. *give_rose*

An absolute mess, but still kicking. How are you?

Thank you for asking!

I am good.  Stressed out at work, but I have an upcoming vacation for my birthday/anniversary week and DH booked us a room in one of the casinos (we do not gamble) and will just walk the boardwalk and sit on the beach with cocktails.

How are you? 

To scrape and wash the hardwoods off of the upstairs rental prepping for primer and floor paint.  Before that, I started seed indoors for the garden, and felled some junk trees that were blocking sun from my mini orchard.

Back at work, I understand Mrs. Headlights was sucking up to Dr. Phil, my old boss,  by putting fake cobwebs on his desk since he has been out on vacation for almost a month!  (Rolling eyes)

Currently at the beach and drinking a fruit smoothie with DH, watching boats go by.  Exercising 3x a week and feeling better than I have in a long time.  Heading north in a couple of weeks to finish packing up the house and prepping for a move 2000 miles away from BM and the disfunctional step-adults.. I am done, with 22 years of step-parenting behind me and looking forward to less step-life stress in my life.   PS, Thanks for asking!

Newbie here and absolutely thank you for asking.  I used to be a woman that loved all holidays, now they are charged with way too emotion, stress, frustration, unmet expectations.  I reached out to BCBS to inquire if they will pay for therapy.  So that's kinda where my head is; I need the rollercoaster to stop.

Easter weekend was a mixed bag. Bff had his bday on Easter, so I thought it would be nice to invite him over and got him a choc cake. We bbq'ed chicken and tritip and veggies. I watched movies. My family didnt reach out, so I called them. Prom-gate escalated, but Im "meh".

Just kind of in a mood today. My friend canceled on our hike tomorrow. And Im ok with it, just seems like every one is being flaky. I have no room in my life for flakes. Husband and BFF spent basically all afternoon and evening cackling together. And zero romance in that department lately. Feeling lonely and alone...

I spent yesterday morning brushing my long haired Wooly Husky. I had a pile of hair big enough to knit a medium sized terrier.  And I had to muzzle Mr. Husky when he snapped at me. He HATES brushing. 

Thanks for asking. I'm adjusting to retired life very well and enjoying the extra time outdoors to hike during the week. I feel stress-free and relaxed. I feel fit and happy. I've lost 15 pounds and am eating healthy and nourishing food.

Bratty still disrupts my peace every so often but with her turning 25 this year and living hundreds of miles away from us her drama isn't too much to handle.

I hope you're doing well too!

I am good. About to be a grandmother (grandson). Due date was yesterday. He isn't ready to be born lol but all of us are ready especially DD 

DH is switching to day shift soon. Finally. Night shift is getting to be too much. So exciting. 
 

it was snowing today. Yes 4/18. The heck 

I'm okay. I started a new job recently and that's been tiring. Also, dealing with my in-laws is exhausted and I had to see them yesterday. Despite all that, things are pretty good overall. 

Feeling the effects of a lack of real spring. It was wonderful outside yesterday (ONE day) and I spent 4 hours doing yardwork. Yes, by myself because DH haaaaaates it (refuses to admit it tho) and lord knows YSD will never help either and OMG if I ask it's like I've asked him to raise the devil and how could I?  I had a nice day though. Now we are back to rain and cold.

My annual doc visit went well, super good results; discussed weight not coming off like I want and we have a good plan in place and bloodwork tests that we should have back in the next day or so. I feel like it's going to work; he also is giving me a referral to a nutritionist and that's even better. He's a great doc.

I walked for about 1.5 hours from doc office to my commute point and after 4 hours of yardwork yesterday am considering a rest day and skipping my gym class tonight. I feel like a blanket and my cat is what I need this evening.

We have a 4 day national holiday here for Easter so I was excited. 
 

And then, DH tested positive for covid Friday and I had symptoms by Saturday.  Bye bye Easter fun. 
 

Don't feel too bad but definitely know that I'm sick. Sigh.
