I couldn’t stay awake during YouTube cuddle time. Now I can’t stay asleep during sleep cuddle time.

I may have to turn the heat on soon. If we let the temp of the thermal mass in this place drop, we’ll spend all winter playing catch-up at high expense.

Related, I saw a good job posting right before I went on vacation, by the time I got my stuff all together they closed applications and moved to the interview stage. I did Super Adulting and called, talked to the HR person and emailed my stuff to her for future consideration but not likely for this job.
I don’t know what the pay would have been, I’m pretending it would have been terrible.

The fluorescent lights in my office give me severe eye strain and headaches.

Mine did the same, enough that I brought in lamps instead. Also got the department to buy me a backlit keyboard.

Made an executive decision and pulled all the bulbs from above me. Let’s see how long this lasts.

My older kid had a debate meet yesterday (his first one! And he loved it) where there was coffee. He drank several cups, then stayed up all night replaying the debates in his head and thinking of better responses he could have used.
Shockingly, he is tired this morning. He has been dragging himself around the house, sighing heavily. He wants to stay home and nap. He is already half an hour late.
My complaint is that he called me mean for making him go to school. Obviously I’m mean. That’s part of my job.

It’s cold and rainy and windy and it’s been like this for days and will be like this for days more.

The elastic on my leggings has shit the bed and my leggings are slowly creeping down my ass. This happened while waiting a long time on the train platform, leaving me to try and surreptitiously hike them up in public. This is the second time this has happened in the past couple weeks, and I now have only one pair that will stay up. And it’s fall so I need warm legwear. And I can’t buy any more because I will fail Budgetober. Hopefully I can limp along until November.

Budgetober allows you to use a magic wand to recast your budget once during the month. You might want to do so if Budgetober is the only reason you aren’t buying new leggings.

I already recasted - and DOUBLED my “all non-bill/food spending” category. It still isn’t enough to just cover stuff I need from day to day. As I just posted over there, this has been a huge eye opener but I’ve really no idea what to do about it.

Baby is dropping (yay) but that means my belly hangs out from under anything. And I can’t wear my over the bump pants as over the bump anymore since the bump is too big!!!
So, today’s complaint: I look like Winnie the Pooh.

But Winnie the Pooh is adorable and the baby is almost here!

“Almost”. Sometime in the next 5 weeks 
(if I go all the way to 42 weeks I will literally go insane though, just putting that out there. People already think I’m term with twins. I don’t know where else the baby will GO).

God I hope you don’t go 42 weeks either. That sounds horrible. My brother was a week late, and it drove Mom nuts.

I’m getting ANOTHER COLD. I even had medicinal tea this morning! Shape up, body! (Tiny victory: I’m already stocked up on medicinal tea from last month? and yes some of it is elderberry!)
