It’s Raining, It’s Pouring

My 90-day review at The Firm was this morning. It went well – high marks all around. That was nice to hear.

However, I missed a staff meeting this morning. Again. In the three months I’ve been here I’ve missed ALL FOUR staff meetings.

I also had a flat tire this morning. I drove the van in to work today so that Denis could get the tire replaced. Another woman at work also had a flat tire, so we think the new building is the culprit – work crews are still hanging out doing stuff, and are probably not cleaning up the site well enough.

CootieBoy slept with us last night. I know, I know. But this time it wasn’t just his stubborness that made him join us, it was his cough. He woke up around midnight and proceeded to cough every 60 seconds for over an hour. I forced him to take some cough medicine but it didn’t take effect quickly (or at all). Denis rocked with him in the rocker for a long while, but he continued to cough. I think he only fell asleep once he got in our bed because he was exhausted at that point. But I admit he was sweet as he laid in bed – he would occasionally put his hand on my shoulder and quietly say, “Mama.” He just wanted to make sure I was there. 🙂

My cold sore is full-fledged at this point. Fortunately I’m used to combatting them since I’ve been getting them since 1993 (thanks, former boyfriend Azad) so it’s pretty minimal in it appearance and I think it only bothers ME now when I get them.

In other news, I had major stomach troubles last night. The upside? Down another pound on the scale this morning. I’ve now lost 4 pounds total since joining WW two weeks ago.

As for the millipedes, they aren’t entirely gone. We’ve seen a few over the past few days. But the 48-hour period that we went millipede free were fantastic!
