Halloween Horror Nights is open, Delusion is open.

I'm tired.

I have never been to Halloween Horror Nights. Not on purpose, it just has never happened. I hope you are able to catch a nap at some point, ND.

I don't get a paycheck since I don't clock in. I still have health insurance. Part of me wants to just not say anything until thew new health insurance kicks in.

So the Operation Manager said there was another store manager in tbmje stor yesterday doing something and he mentioned how good all the top stock looks. Ops Manager said it was all me and the other store manager wanted to steal me for his store.

And then it got to be 4:20ish and I realized I hadn't taken my second 15 min break. The store manager told me to take it and "I dont want to hea that you aren't taking your breaks. " these are paid breaks. I've never had these been mandatory before .

Way to go, ND!

askye, I’m so glad you get your breaks.

I feel like all I do is complain and apparently the universe really wants me to work on my distress tolerance skills, so I listened to some Pema Chodron yesterday and today I’ve been trying to just notice what I have strong reactions to. Granted, I did not expect a quick fix from Buddhism, but the result today is that I have a mild simmering rage under the surface and I am having a hard time focusing. I did forget my afternoon Adderall, so that might be contributing.

Now i’m getting Spravato. I think I’ll try more Terry Pratchett, that worked well last time. Currently listening to the BBC’s production of Mort.

Timelies all!

{{{David}}} I’m sorry your MIL is being so awful.

More running around today, but managed to get Matilda's prescription filled, and do the Zoom call and make two key emails and get umpty cakes and pies and order pizza for Matilda's birthday.

She was not in the mood for birthday anything but her friends came over early and that cheered her and they were laughing and everybody had a good time with pizza and cake and cocktails.

it came just the same.

It was very nice having Emily and Hannah back in the house for a night, as they are both warm, big presences.

I'm extremely excited that I only have to massage the to-do list tomorrow without anything immediately pressing and my MiL is at a trade show all day.

I watched Over the Garden Wall last fall, because a coworker (with similar tastes) told me I had to see it. Now I’m haunting EBay, trying to nab a dvd for under $100. Such a good miniseries!

It's good to hear that Matilda was surrounded by love and laughter for her birthday. It can help her know that she can get through this in baby steps.

Apparently over the garden wall is streaming on Hulu.

Also GBBO is back on Netflix starting Friday!!

I remember hearing that people like Over the Garden Wall but I have yet to seek it out. And that's pretty much all I know about it - people like it.

The half a day of sick time I took last week was as a Sr Business Analyst and the holiday I took Monday is showing my job as Demand Planner and my time card looks seriously weird. But I guess that's how it's supposed to look. Our VP thanked me for being cooperative with the change and it became apparent in our department meeting yesterday that in general the title stream lining is not going smoothly. But it's not my problem! I'm all set.
