a coworker just asked me if I wore ombre on purpose.
Hah! That's awesome.
I am completely unmotivated, have a work project that is totally pear-shaped (big deadlines was supposed to be next Thursday, but a bunch of things that need to happen before then have not happened, so..I'm doing everything I can but it's not enough? Because I can't reach through the internet and make doctors do things?), and overwhelmed (by work, and by non-work stuff that I ALSO don't have the energy to do, like laundry and working out, and figuring out how to eat healthier because I've gained back half the weight I lost and none of my clothes fit me, and and and). And I got a flu shot yesterday and today I am all achy and unhappy. Which, yay immune system working, but ugh.
I've never owned a gun and never felt the need, but the rhetoric from some of Trump's supporters are making me start to question that.
Anybody else use My Fitness Pal? I started using it to track my eating and exercise (once my knee heals up).
Yes. I managed to lose 45 pounds last year just using it to track what I was eating. (I have unfortunately gained it all back due to a myriad of reasons) I found it incredibly helpful. If I ever get things back in order I plan to use it again.
I am GETTING SHIT DONE! at work.
Went to therapy. I am supposed to "do more things for me." Ugh I don't even know. Shopping mindlessly apparently does not count. I already started the gym this year, sheesh. Social is too much work.

Florida vacation! Okay, that might be for me, but still.
Hello all. I have somehow managed to be super busy all day and still not get anything done.
I wish it involved lots of travel, but no, she means out doing things and/or being social here.
I'm *just* about ready to buy champagne. I've been holding off because I don't want to jinx the election (like, don't post the Hamilton GIF! but also, don't buy champagne yet!), but I might be ready.
In 2008 Dylan wouldn't let me buy champagne until they called Ohio. (We take not jinxing things very seriously in the W household!) So I ducked out to the local grocery, determined to buy the most expensive already-chilled bottle available, and so many people had clearly had the same idea I had to stand on tiptoe and reach into the back of the case for the last bottle of Veuve Clicquot. I still have the cork.
I figure we'll do the same this year--tradition!
Susan, I have a very similar tradition involving whisky.
My first interview today went very very well! It was with a local food bank and seemed like it could be a really good fit. Off to my second!
From WAYYYY up:
I knew Ron Goldman, several years prior to his murder. He dated a friend of mine and we all used to hang out at his home. He worked an after school Y program with my high school BFF and he was SO good with kids. It was adorable. He was cocky and funny and smart. My heart still breaks for his family.
That is SO wild! I was looking him up on Google a few years back and found out that his girlfriend (I think they'd broken up right before the murder) Jacquie was one of my best friends when I lived in LA and worked at the Beverly Center! She had moved to LA from Missouri in order to act and model (one of her pics is STILL the cover of a drugstore hair color box, I always smile when I see it) and we worked at the Units (!) store together. I moved back to the Bay Area and lost touch with her but found on the Ron Goldman site and Google tells me she's now a realtor in Pacific Palisades.
Life is funny. But it gave me a whole new appreciation for Ron, because there were pics of the two of them on the site and they were both so radiant and happy looking. No pics, but this article mentions her. It's so sad. I hate that he is rarely spoken about as one of that rat bastard's murder victims.

It must be just horrible for families and loved ones of victims that do not get justice. I'm kind of a hold a grudge personality so that would be weighty.
