Fititude Fever - Catch It!

Joyce - OMG that cross stitch is amazing. 

Since I was working from home I got to sleep for an hour extra until 5:30am.  Well DH wakes me up 30 minutes early to tell me the internet has been out since midnight.  SERIOUSLY?!  You couldn't wait for my alarm to go off?  I have a feeling he was sitting awake most the night to see if it would come on. He was all upset our outdoor cameras weren't recording.  We were home!  I could see if we were on vacation and that was the only thing monitoring our house but again.... we were home.  (Anxiety disorder at it's finest).  So he wouldn't leave me alone until I got on the app and then called the cable company.  Because for some reason he is incapable...  They had an outage and were calling it "routine maintenance"  funny how when they send me emails we will lose it for maintenance we NEVER lose it but this time no email.  I'm guessing someone hit a line doing road work on the highway.  at 7am I was texting my boss that I had no internet when I get a text on my phone saying my house alarm was back online.  So I went to work and DH calmed down. 

We both had cleanings at the dentist.  While I was getting my teeth done DH went to Publix to get stuff to make something I wanted for dinner, a Korean Beef Bowl (made with chop meat and OMG it was so good) and while he was getting his teeth done I went to 7Brew and got a coffee (which I consider a treat).  We came home, had lunch and then I finished working.

Not much else going on here. 

Have a great night.

Y, you are exactly right about my sister. She told me a long time ago she’s scared of flying after 9/11. She’s also uncomfortable meeting new people & there would be a lot of that at the wedding. Mom had major anxiety issues & so does older sister, so it’s not a stretch to think she does too. Long ago I thought my parents & sisters were in a weird bubble where outsiders are excluded, including my brother & me.

She hasn’t texted me since so she knows I’m mad. Whatever. Between this & keeping secret that I’m not inheriting my share of the house (which I don’t care about) & her obsessive insulting cleaning around G & I, I’ve been disappointed in her. She was probably my closest friend but I’m going to have to distance myself a little to get over all of this.

I had 1 applicant respond to me out of the 4 I reached out to. I interviewed her last night & she accepted the job & said she can start immediately. I called the client since Monday & Wednesday are his only available tutoring days & said get back to me ASAP if you want her to start today. Haven’t heard back from him (sigh).

Last night I was looking for Ainsley’s Christmas stocking pattern which I know I printed out a while ago. Decided to purge some of my older cross stitch patterns as I was looking. Set aside 30 patterns, 10 of which I will try to sell & the others I’ll give away. Then got on Pinterest & started deleting some cross stitch patterns there too. I’m in a purging mood!

This morning I let myself veg a little since I worked on business emails last night. Then cleaned up the kitchen & prepped dinner. Dh just has to microwave it when he wants to eat. The kids will have pizza.

Dh wants to work on more business stuff when he gets back from the gym. I’m so tired of this taking so much time out of my day. I’ve got housework to do, wedding stuff to start thinking about (ordering rehearsal & wedding dresses, cut & highlights in my hair?) & of course I haven’t done anything about preparing for G’s SSI call in March or signing him up for the Medicaid waiver list.

W told me last night his friend’s mom who teaches orchestra in Houston has a full time orchestra teacher job lined up for him in the fall, & also a youth orchestra job. She’s kind of flaky so I don’t trust her 100% but if that’s true, that’s great! If her son (W’s friend) does not get accepted to Juilliard they might get an apartment together. Or Ainsley’s sister might be moving to Houston so they could get an apartment together. Or W can rent a room at his friend’s parent’s house. We will see how this all pans out. J & A might eventually move to the Houston area too. We will wait till things are settled before we decide where our next move will be. Unfortunately San Antonio & Houston are 3 hours away from each other so I don’t want to make a wrong decision.

Carrie - hope your day went well.

Joyce - ever wonder if your sister is getting like your mom with the anxiety?  The way she was when you and G stayed there, only coming for a day when the twins graduated, she actually kind of reminds me of my DH.  He keeps telling me and our friends we will go see our friends on the east coast but always comes up with stupid excuses.  It's because he doesn't want to do the drive - the have no toll takers here anymore - it is all toll by plate or transponder and the alternate way is a lot of traffic lights.  He drives me nuts but I know if I force him he'll have an anxiety attack or be absolutely miserable to be around.  She has trouble getting out of her comfort zone.

Ended up working late by half an hour and it took me 90 minutes to get home.  DH was all annoyed because it is the 3rd time in 2 weeks.  I don't like it either but it's my job and I usually leave 10 to 15 minutes early most days. 

Working from home tomorrow, DH and I both have our dental cleanings.

Have a great night.

I’m really pissed that my little sister says she’s not coming to J & A’s wedding. She said she’s has too much to deal with between my dad & older sister. When she does her undercover security job she’s gone all day for sometimes 2 days so I don’t see what the difference is. She’s his godmother too. And we hardly have any family coming from our side, the guests will all be brides side at this point.
