Aha, I did have a 10 o'clock meeting. With someone who says they can save us money on our worker's comp. I'm just the first doorway that they have to get through, so now there has to be a second meeting with a higher up.

I remember watching a doc with the man who had a medical condtion (think due to missing an enzyme) which presented as him being drunk and getting a DUI when he wasn't.

Woop! Well done for handling it well despite not knowing what to expect.

80 hour weeks would be tough on anyone- but yikes night shifts on top= you're practically a superstar. Happy people irritate me too when I'm not feeling well, but you're doing you're best.

@Lemoncake, the Couch misses you. I hope you feel up to coming back soon. We're here to support you.

Thank you for all the luurve guys It really does mean a lot and more than I could say.

I met my husband today. I can't remember his name, but he's my little sister's new chemistry teacher. She did well enough in her secondary school exams to confirm her place at a really good selective sixth form school. Our brother went to the boys version as they're seperate.

@Lemoncake so nice to see you back!!! HUGS Kit

Lemoncake · Aug 23, 2019 at 01:49 PM

Thank you SK.

How many times was poop mentioned?

It also got messed up because there was a thunderstorm partway through the show, so they made people leave the grounds for a bit--that's when this happened (and I got put into a cab). So I figured I'd be leaving 2 hours later than I actually did...

Keys have been retrieved, though sadly, my tiger's eye key chain is gone (well, the stone, I guess the key ring is still technically there!).

Are you talking about subjevtive exp or about your actual BAC? I would test that # of drinks for your weight and height and see if it matches your idea of how drunk you were

We regressed without you. Just me, not SD, before she jumps all over me. Not that she did while you were gone! I mean... uh...

The lawyer called back about 10 minutes after I sent another message. Apparently someone has been out sick. He seemed like just what I'm looking for. I've set up a consultation with him and his female law partner on Tuesday. This is gonna be so hard. I'm still feeling quite anxious after talking on the phone with him. Luckily I have a therapy appointment after the lawyer consultation.

It sounds fab- enjoy! Have you got any job openings?!?

There's a famous drinks company near me- with an office you can peer into they have green reindeers and people always seem to be sitting on the couches with their feet up and laptops.

It may be hard, but you don't see how strong you already are. You can and you will get through this.

Aww my little una O, nothing heavy doses of daytime tv can't fix.

I listen to fantastic mr fox on repeat so that shows my age. I finished the godfather book 1 - it was awesome. I didn't expect them to get Sonny.

I actually got a BAC breathalyzer thing a few months ago, and it was quite eye opening. So I've been more aware and careful lately. H seemed kinda pissed when I had him use it and he blew rather high--I made us wait at his Mom's for quite a while before heading home.

I've been practically sleeping all day. Woke up this morning to get my boys off to school, then had an appointment for my girls. After that I came home and crashed, and they took a nap with me. My youngest son had early release today and went over to a friend's house, and I have to leave to pick my oldest up in a few minutes. Gotta run to the store and then pick my son up later from said friend's house. I still feel completely exhausted.
My next grad class started last night, and I'm already nervous about how I'll get through the class, just juggling that with everything else going on. I didn't want to take more time off because my loans. It makes me nervous especially after yesterday's session with T.

Oh that’s very smart! Good idea!

We also had cake this afternoon! I guess the NY office has alcohol in the afternoons, but I guess we aren't cool enough for that. And they have more food regularly. I guess we are trying to get to that point. There were also free gateraides and free sodas.

SlumberKitty · Aug 23, 2019 at 06:03 PM

I'm going to a friend's house tonight to watch a movie. I'm pretty excited about it. It means my Mom will be home alone though. I'm going to offer for her to come with. She may not feel up to it because of her sore throat. But that way, she doesn't have to be alone.
