This gif reminds me...does anyone watch Will and Grace, the reboot?
In a recent episode Nick Offerman (Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec, see opening gif) played a bisexual bread maker who was banging both Will and Grace. It was a total mind f*ck as someone who watched Parks and Rec and loves Ron Swanson.
@amylu914 I watched the season so far last week on Hulu. It’s hilarious! That episode cracked me up. I don’t watch parks and rec but it DID NOT click that that was him until you just posted this!
Also, SNOW DAY today! Well “work from home” day but that just means managing emails while watching the office reruns for the trillionth time
My thieving little toddler tried stealing all the cream cheese off my bagel. I snipped at DH for not stopping him after I specifically asked him to protect my bagel from sticky fingers. I even gave the kid half my bagel so he wouldn’t keep asking me for bites, but he licked the cream cheese off like a little savage and then went for mine. CANT A GIRL JUST ENJOY A BAGEL. Mid freak out on DH, he picks up DS and goes “mommy reallyyyyy cares about food right now, we don’t touch mommy’s bagels.” And now I’m realizing now that probably 75% of my rants are about food.
Lord help me! I just went back and forth with a couple of people on facebook and if we were facing each other IRL they threw down some fighting words and I would be ripping off my earrings! I know these people IRL, too. I've been to their house. As of this morning I WAS a part of a facebook group dedicated to "fixing" the landfill smell problem in our town. In 2017 was the first time we started smelling it consistently, and I don't even live that close to it. Before last year we'd smell it maybe for a few hours like 2-3 days a year. Anyway, there was some big meeting last night with town board members and the landfill management company and a ton of people from the group and even some students that I work with at my job who study the water and soil surrounding the landfill. One of the admins said that my students deserved to be shamed for caring more about the plants and animals than the people around the landfill--which isn't true, btw. I saw red. And then I liked how this guy's wife is like, well, I'm going to reach out to their dept today and talk to them about this issue. I'm like, good luck lady--that's my department. I emailed my boss and shared their perspective on how to treat anyone involved with the landfill company. Spiteful, yes, but i don't care. Before I abdicated someone in the group suggested I may be a mole for the company--which is the group's favorite response to any dissenting voices. Their attitude sucks.
I started not feeling super great yesterday and woke up today full on sick. again. ugh. I just want to take some Dayquil. And apparently one of my co-workers came to work last Thursday with strep. So now I'm just hoping it's not strep.
@amylu914 Yes I'm watching the reboot and OMG it was a complete mind f*ck! He was hilarious in it but it was so weird watching him and thinking oh hey that's Ron Swanson.
I am so sick of boogers. I think our house has been sick since before Thanksgiving off and on with crap and I am so over it!
@amylu914 I know right?! They are freaking amazingly hilarious together. They had a comedy special come out last year or so. It's really funny, but it's pretty dirty too.
I'm wearing the most amazing maternity tights today, they are huge on my "blump" but omg these are so so comfortable. Also, I have less than 5 months of work left before going on maternity leave, wow!
@amylu914 Isn't that crazy?! While pregnancy can sometimes drag I feel like my leave is approaching quickly! I'm also a little anxious about wrapping everything up before I leave. We're a big company which makes it a little easier but I want to be sure I leave my team in good shape.
@moguippy I think I have strep too maybe. Doctor office can’t get me in so I’m trying to decide if I should go to prompt care but then I risk getting the flu.
Our house finally closed today, a full week after the initial close date. The buyers had been approved for a mortgage through a 3rd party lender and then the husband didn’t work for December so when it came time to close, the lender said no way so they had to scramble to get a new mortgage. So happy it’s done as our new house will be finished in less than a month and I was super stressed thinking about having to re-stage our old house and try and get it sold again.
I could use lots of prayers ladies migraine again today. had to cancel my sessions and will be heading to urgent care as soon as my husband gets home so I don't have to take Lil with me
@lindsayleigh1989 ugh, sorry the migraine isn't fading. Hopefully it passes soon
So my kid woke up at 3:30 this morning and was ready to start the day. I am soooo tired and short tempered. I didn't expect this surprise so I stayed up util 2:30 catching up on tv. So I clocked in a total of 1 hour of sleep
@lindsayleigh1989 ugh wow I’m sorry! I couldn’t imagine. I hope you’re able to get some relief at urgent care! @cseley321 oh no! I hope you’re able to squeeze in a nap, that’s so rough!
So the HI branch i work with has asked if i can visit them for work related stuff. Not sure if it can happen due to travel budgets in our department but would be cool if i can get DS and DH to come with for a few days. After what happened this weekend it makes me nervous to go alone. Gives me anxiety thinking about it.
@lindsayleigh1989 Sending you all the positive and good vibes! @wildtot That would be fun to go, minus the scare they had this past weekend. Mini getaway.
That would be awesome, @wildtot ! I have a friend who was there when it happened - she posted on social media that it was a bit fightening but overall not a big deal. She's currently pregnant too, but I can't remember when she's due!
Just got back from a doc appointment - got to hear the heart beat today! Twice, in fact, because my doc had someone shadowing her that I let practice on me. I've had so few pregnancy symptoms that I keep worrying myself that something may be wrong. Next visit is the big ultrasound!
I picked up Chipotle on the way home. Just ate half and I want the rest, but I set it aside to "wait to see if I'm still hungry in a bit". Insert eye roll here.
My random for today is that my doctor called me and told me my TSH levels came down from 9+ at 6 weeks to 3.8. I know that’s still high, but it feels like good progress. I’ve never had them this low. He upped my dose slightly, so hopefully it will be perfect soon
My random is that I really can't stand my job right now. Too much to do and too much disorganization from my bosses. Downside of working remotely, I have to email and message people a million times before getting a response!
My complaint for the day: It looks like one of my coworkers might get picked for a 3 month long trial. Needless to say my boss is PO'ed. Good lord I hope he doesn't get picked because I don't wanna deal with her mood for the next 3 months.
I'm sorry that I haven't been posting lately. I've been a little down, because DH has been really down about his work situation. He's getting burnt out and doesn't like his job anymore, and many nights he's been so upset that he's been crying. I am trying to support him as best as I can while still having evil morning/evening sickness at 15+ weeks and otherwise feeling fatigued. I'm encouraging him to find a therapist for some supplemental support, too, and I hope he does soon.
He feels torn about leaving because the paternity leave benefits are actually pretty good for the US--a month off with full pay. But it won't hurt for him to look, and if he gets an offer, maybe he can negotiate a leave....
@sm05-2 Oh no! I’m sorry your husband is struggling with work. I think it’s good that he’s looking at options based on paternity leave, what a sweetheart!!! My DH doesn’t get any paternity leave at all, so if he hated his job I would beg him to look for another one lol.
And shout out to all you moms working through MS and other pregnancy pain. I haven’t worked in 2 years since DD was born and I do not envy you.
Anybody try potty training their 2 year old right at their second birthday? My DD turns 2 a couple months before my due date and I would like to have her out of diapers if possible. Any favorite method that worked best for someone?
Does anybody else find the drive-by thread with a response by a first-time knottie really strange? I mean, I don't have a reason to be suspicious but really...

@runsomewhere holy moly me too! That makes me so excited and also slightly anxious about how much I need to pass down to my team before then.
I'm also a little anxious about wrapping everything up before I leave. We're a big company which makes it a little easier but I want to be sure I leave my team in good shape.
@lindsayleigh1989 lots of thoughts, prayers and good wishes to you. I hope you can find some relief.

@comealongponds congratulations on your home closing!
My random is we're on snow day number two here in Texas, and let's just say I'm ready for school to be back in business tomorrow.
And... I freaking LOVE Ron Swanson. I like this video: https://www.facebook.com/awestruckTV/videos/1945310849077833/
Congrats on the home closing @comealongponds, that's huge!
@hayhay93, great on the numbers coming down!
