It’s friiiiiidaaaaaay yeah :+1:

After this day I’ll have one week off. I’m so looking forward to this :heart_eyes:
Yesterday I felt like a cold was coming, after arriving at home I had a hot bath and went straight to bed, slept 12 hours straight. Feeling better but not back to 100% yet.
So I’ll do only 6 hours of work today and then hurry back home :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

What are your plans for today fam?

Happy Friday. I have early morning Pilates in a little bit with the sunrise. And two job applications I want to get in as well. That will be four applications in the pot currently at once. Draining to prep them and populate the many wants and asks if each one.

Tomorrow we are planning a long hike and a winter picnic. It’s meant to be super sunny for the next three days. Still cold and really chilly at night, but I love winter picnics all the same.

Sunday is a big football day here. Rest and recovery.

Happy sober friday folks!

@Planipennia Matti!!! 3 years!!! Congratulations :confetti_ball::bouquet::four_leaf_clover::sunflower::tada::hugs: I do a little dance to celebrate (and shake my old bones :face_with_hand_over_mouth:) Hope you treat yourself to something nice :blush:

My friday is over and I sound like a broken record: It was a busy week, a busy friday with appointments from morning on and a 3 hour nap on the couch when tiredness took over.

I officially announce that I don’t give a shit and skip chores for today :joy:
My bed is calling, the cats are fed, (hopefully) sweet dreams are waiting for me. And please no yodeling oldtimer at 3 a.m. again. Have mercy Tiglat :pray::see_no_evil::smirk_cat:

@Cjp This week’s update, she confirmed the next 4 interviews starting next week. These are interviews with VPs and SVPs and they are only 30 minutes. My hypothesis is that these are sanity check/buy off meetings and that she’s the only candidate. I think this is a good sign. We’ll know more in 2 more weeks.

Friday is the new Tuesday!

That’s how ā€œexcitingā€ my Fridays have become… and I am f%#@ing loving it! No drama tonight, no hangover tomorrow. Just an early bedtime and a morning spin class.

Happy Friday folks! I am ā€œdown with the sicknessā€ (chest cold, I think?). I’m happy fever is not terrible, only mild… but the sore throat leading up to this awful chest pain/congestion is progressing. I’m grateful I could work from home, and had a bit of time off and professional development.
I am grumpy for a multitude of reasons, including general world events, and mad I left for work earlier this week and saw that ā€œhubbyā€ replaced the political signs I removed for the party I do not agree with (you may or may not have seen a post re: this). I called him to ask if he put them up, or if the candidate did. He said he put them up himself and didn’t see a problem since it was further down our property vs. right at the entrance of our laneway… Grrr. Anyways, he got grumpy and passive-aggressive and hung up on me. Then I felt really bad and guilty (although I realize that is my nature and I should not feel guilty - but I did). Anyway.
It’s Friday and I have my kiddo snuggled on the couch, ready to play chess after we go visit the barn kitties.
Grumpy, tired, sooky, but sober.
Have a great weekend, peeps

Happy Friday.

Easy day. Went to the gym, then had a late lunch/early dinner with all my children, which is rare these days since the older 2 have moved out.

My boys and I went to the highschool where they had Battle of the Bands. It was pretty cool, lots of talented kids with good taste in music. They played songs froM The Ramones, Green day, Nirvana, Def Tones, Smashong Pumpkins and even George Michael.

At home now getting ready to turn in and watch my stories.

Anyone watch anything goed lately?

That sounds like a super awesome night, Hoof! I miss the Battle of the Bands events from back in my high school days (back in the 90s, when they were playing some of those bands/songs back then too!)

My ā€œsoloā€ show at present is Schitt’s Creek :canada: … I’d seen the first season years back but never finished… on season 4 now and loving it. Hubby & watch a show together too; presently watching Night Watch latest season and after that is done, we’ll jump to the latest Reacher season.

This Friday is spent bunkered down as we wait for a huge cyclone to hit. It’s already late making landfall and the anticipation is killing us all.
It’s gonna get crazy for a while, friends.
