I’m sick, I have a LOT of work to do, and today starts a 4-day conference that is usually one of the highlights of my year and at which I’m working 20 hours worth of shifts.

I don’t think that MFP is smart enough to figure out from fitbit when you go to bed. It might just assume adults go to bed on average at 10 or 11 or something and just assume you’re going to be average-ly active until then.

The October Daye books are released at the same time every year. This time of year is not in October, which seems like it would be super obvious and make it easy to remember. Nope, it’s in September. This irks me.

Also I was super dehydrated by salty foods last night so I’m thirsty today and drinking a lot of water and I’m peeing an inconvenient amount.

What’s wrong with an ophthalmologist? Pretty sure I saw one when I was a kid. Is it just overkill?
The rest of that is just WTF. Why would an eye doctor not take kids under ten?!

Probably because they assume they’ll be disruptive and not sit still for the eye test? shrug
For the opthamologist, they said they’re the “your eyeball is messed up” type eye doctor, not the more run of the mill “you need glasses” type. They said we could have stayed for an initial appointment with them but it would be 2+ hours long (which at that time of day meant running through lunch time/nap time by the time I dropped him back off). That was not what I had planned for, especially as whoever booked the appointment to begin with didn’t mention how long the appointment would be.

Oh, that is a LOT.
I like to think of it as a nod to September Torquill.
Finally looked at the thermostat in my office after freezing all day and it was set to 50. 50!!! Who sets a thermostat to 50???

My rice + yellow squash + salami needs some salsa on it. I was just at the grocery store (to buy shower curtain rings) and did not get salsa 
I am crestfallen. Also I wish this dinner had real sausage on it and not cured.

I deseeded an Anaheim pepper, which I did not think would be spicy, and somehow touched my nose and now my nostrils are burning. I might now be a dragon.

After leaving my diva cup at home a few days ago because I decided my body was just trolling me and was not going to have a period, I have very definite obvious period cramps. Hopefully the dam holds until I get home.
Also someone wrote a bible verse on the board at work and I am not comfortable.
Thirdly someone one office over is singing poorly and loudly. He does this often, but today I find it SUPER IRRITATING.
Fourthly bro & gf are coming to hang out with friends again tonight and I’m happy about this but super nervous one of my friends is gonna be a dingbat again.
SO many tiny complaints.
Also there is no cake here.

I have received 38 emails and 14 calls from recruiters today. Might sound cool, except every last thing is FAR below my current level. It’s just spam at this point.

Boo, hiss. Do you bother to tell the callers that? or is it a waste of time to bother trying?

I don’t ever answer my phone unless I know the number. But I have to keep the ringer on in case I get a call from work, so constant buzzing and 14 voicemails to delete.
When I used to try to have conversations with them about what I was looking for, there was often irritation on their part that I wasn’t doing what they wanted me to. People, am I right?

I met the painter at the rental to get a quote, but left the keys to the rental at home. Wasted everyone’s time.

This past weekend, my sister kept saying “colored people” when she meant “people of color” and I didn’t correct her because she might yell at me if I didn’t approach it in the exact right way. So I avoided conflict by not saying anything, and the whole thing is bothering me.
There are guys jackhammering in the basement and yelling in Spanish. Hopefully the concrete slab demo will be done in one day.
There are a lot of foods that are inflammatory that I want to eat. Sometimes I’m okay with it, and sometimes I’m not.
