Greetings sober fam! May this friday be the fridayest friday that ever fridayed
My friday is half over. Slept ok, called the doctor who immediately cancelled the antibiotic because of severe side effects. Left the house to fetch allergy meds
Had yummi early lunch, luckily the restaurants were already open.
Treated myself to a stroll through the garden center and a fivepack of tomato varieties
For the rest of the day I will enjoy the peace and quiet at home and the outlook on my new deck. Maybe have a coffee outside while the sun is still shining
I love the new deck And I have a fence again = my privacy back
I don’t care that I’m still sick as fuck. Today is a good, nice day and I enjoy it.
Have a great sober friday people
Happy Friday! Right now im about to take my mid morning nap, then later tonight, guys, I’m actually going out! Like going OUT out!! My sister is taking me to go see Sera Cahoone!! We’ve seen her play like 4 or 5 times now, it’s sort of our thing, she’s pretty rad.
After today, I’m off all next week. Moving into my house Monday. Dad arrives for 3 weeks on Wednesday.
Right now I am working. After work, I’ll go to the house and try to assemble my temporary greenhouse I’m “borrowing” from Amazon while my Dad and I build the real one.
I’m considering a long and enjoying outing at the hardware store down the street. I have some gift cards from Christmas that have long been crying out in great sadness over not being used as of yet. Probably do some gaming later tonight with my husband when he gets home.
@Mno Sounds like you and Luna are both in for an enjoyable evening.
Update: I christened my new deck with eating ice cream and enjoying it before a rainshower set in
@Planipennia The fence was deconstructed because of all the construction work going on in the last weeks. Now the construction part in my garden is approching its end and the fence will be fixed again when everything on my side is finished. Construction work in the street will last for a couple of weeks.
I have my telehealth counselor appointment today, and am gonna bake some fish with roasted asparagus for dinner. I just got some blood orange/raspberry sparkling water I’m looking forward to trying. Should be a chill Friday.
It’s a super blustery day so I’m hiding inside avoiding a possible headache…not much exciting going on. Though we are waiting to hear from a realtor that we’ll probably be working with in our search for a house. So that’s kind of cool! Happy Friday!
I had a stressful afternoon working from my couch. Sent a financial analysis of a grant opportunity we may pursue and pointed out we would be expanding services but do not have guaranteed funding for years 2 and 3 for the grant period which would leave a large deficit. Its a strategic decision to take on the risk. Glad i dont have to make it. I received a nice email from the VP thanking me for my thoughtful perspective and she would try to digest the info before our meeting monday.
It’s Friday night and I’m in a pickle. I’m on my annual family trip with my brothers and sisters for our weekend where we rent a house out of town and play board games all weekend. For the board gamers out there I have already played:
Dutch Blitz
Left Right Dilemma
Ohanami
Marvel Remix
I Wish I Didn’t Know
Fun Facts &
The Adventurers
This is a weekend that my siblings and I look forward too all year. Here’s the pickle. My sister’s stepson is here for the first time this year and he is a stinky guy. Like, stinky that you can taste when he sits next to you. He is a kind human with some emotional problems that he is going through and I grew up in a family of kindness to the point of enabling/pretending it doesn’t exist. The perfect storm.
We are in an AirBnB so there is that extra worry about stinking up someone else’s house and my other sister already opted out of the trip to avoid having to deal with this. I just feel so bad for this kid but it is pretty unbearable. We like to go out to eat but we skipped dinner in a restaurant tonight to not impact the other diner’s experience (unbeknownst to my sister, brother in law and the kid). We blamed our change of plans on a restless 2 year old which was also technically true.
We have one more full day and I have to tell my sister and brother in law that he needs to shower and put on clean clothes tomorrow. I might get charged an extra cleaning fee for what I’m sure is a very ripe bed but at least tomorrow might be tolerable. We tend to end our games quickly when he joins and he keeps to himself a lot. I would be happy to play and get to know him but his smell is intolerable and this is a shared space we are all supposed to be enjoying.
I have already decided that he won’t be invited back next year. I’m in bed now because the smell is so strong that it makes by stomach hurt. I sat through a full round of Adventurers just so sad for this kid (he’s technically 18 but still living at home without many prospects for independence). I really hate to be unkind but this is everyone’s vacation and he is making it much less enjoyable. Any tips for me? Either way thanks for reading on a very enjoyable (yet stinky) Friday. Still sober.
And I have a fence again = my privacy back 
Mine is a very fridayish friday!
Could be worse.
Probably do some gaming later tonight with my husband when he gets home.
