What's up y'all?
I'm working from home - the oil company has to come and inspect the tank since we're starting a new account with them. Don't know when they're coming though.
I'm currently drinking coffee in my giant-ass coffee mug and working.
If you have any thoughts & prayers to spare today, can you send them my family's way? <3
It is so nice not wearing a bra...

Sending good thoughts, sunshine. I hd to turn on the heat this morning. Bah. But I'm off today! I want to get a haircut this morning. Just a trim, so I should be able to just walk in (especially at this hour). And then, shopping. I need to finish Christmas shopping for the kids in the family. I might pick up some games at Target. And then, Loft! My winter wardrobe is looking sad.

I think FI needs to bleed the system so ti wouldn't work even if I put it on.

Sending good thoughts your way sunshineOur heat has been on since September efmcc67 had it been up to H, it would’ve been on in August. Nope. I don’t care how cold it is, I refuse to turn on the heat that early. I just told him to suck it up and put on a sweater (it was chilly, but not THAT cold to justify the heat) I’m so glad it’s Friday. H was supposed to take today off, but he’s really busy (which surprises exactly no one, and is the reason I’ve been telling him to take a day off). He’s taking Monday off instead. I’m considering hiring someone to renovate our stairs while we’re gone this winter. They’re deadly, and I’d like to have them done before E is too mobile. I’m not sure how I feel about having someone else do the work though, specially if we’re not going to be here to supervise. But it’d also be so nice to not have to worry about living with the mess it’ll create. I don’t know what to do. Clearly.

Definitely lock up your valuables/store them off site but I say do it! If you have a reputable contractor, they'll make sure it's perfect for when you get home!

Sending good thoughts to your family, sunshine. TGIF! I'm trying to WFH, but since they replaced our computers, it's a mess. I can't remote in like I'm supposed to, so I've been on the phone with IT for 25 minutes. I'm currently on hold, and my boss told me not to worry about getting online, but I need to know what's wrong, dang it! Plus I want to be able to log on in the future without any issues. Sigh. At least I'm in leggings.

sunshine T&Ps to your family. bellaluna Me tooooo. Ugh. efmcc67 Have fun shopping! ravenclanna I am all about hiring out to make your life easier when possible. eba1012 Boo IT. At least you're in leggings and your boss is being understanding about it. Small wins. SD and her H fly in tonight. I can't even remember when I saw her last. I was at work when they stopped by the house before they started driving to Florida in June. Sunday is H's birthday. I have nothing for him beyond the cake I ordered. Wife of the year. Maybe I'll tell him to buy the ukelele he wants; I'll assuredly buy the wrong shit.

Let's compromise: You give me E and I hang with his cute little face while you guys supervise.

The hairdresser took off way too much. I'm not happy.
I'm also pissed at Amazon. Remember how they sent me a pair of damaged pans? I shipped them both back 9 days ago. A week ago, they acknowledged the receipt of one. The other, they claim they haven't received yet, although the UPS tracking information says otherwise. As a result, they haven't given me my credit yet for the shitty broken pan they sent. I paid money. They fucked up the packaging. I want my money back, damn it. I just sent them a message, so hopefully I'll hear back soon.

Sending good thoughts to your family, sunshine. I'm not doing much. I forgot my coat and the kids coat at the party last night, so C and I had to get them today. The kids are getting picked up for the afternoon by my MIL, then MH is taking them home while I'm at an event tonight.

Update on Amazon: they are expediting my refund, and giving me a $5 certificate to make up for the trouble. I definitely didn't expect the $5, but I'm not complaining!

I'm at work until 10. I'm hoping to get some light homework done since it's so dead tonight due to the large number of Halloween parties happening. Thinking of your family, sunshine. efmcc67, I've always had good luck getting things done through Amazon live chat.

If you have a reputable contractor, they'll make sure it's perfect for when you get home! H might be able to ask a coworker. We’ve talked about it a bit, and we’re going to start looking into it. I hate to spend the money on something we can do, but I think it might be worth it. the hard part will be finding a GC, since the people we work with tend to be in charge of their own projects. The downside of working in construction I guess...
