So today didn't go as planned. I got a text from my hubby saying he had been fired....
His company closed down his whole department, effective immediately, with no notice - they fired at least 3 good loyal company employees. They gave him a month's pay severance. The good thing is he has worked in the entertainment world long enough, he knows all the right people! So he sent an email to everyone he has worked with, and already has 3 job offers Today has been a crazy rollercoaster....... But I think it will all be ok. My trip to Uganda may be on hold though.....
Oof that is not the kind of rollercoaster you want to be on. Glad to hear things look good for his prospects though! Big hugs.
I appreciate the offer a lot, but there's no way I can accept it. Seriously thank you, but take care of your insurance and health stuff.
I'm doing fine, the insurance is just a paperwork thing, I didn't send in the re-application in time for it to be reinstated before my current plan expired, it's my fault really.
You should accept it, you're a good dude and have always been a kind person to me. I can spare it, believe me.
It really does mean a lot, but I have to decline. Money is just a part of it, another is finding a time that would work for both of us between my school and work and Maddie's taking care of the kids and her dad. And at the end of the day the reason we are so broke is largely because of all the cool trips we've already done this year, i would feel bad taking money for more.

You're welcome, and if one weekend this summer you're really reallllllllllllllllllly lonely, the offer will be there.

I already thanked Steph but Josh told me about your offer too so I wanted to come in here and thank you. I told him I'm pretty sure you've never even met me, and you were fasting and miserable and still kind enough to make that offer. So. I am a fan of you. Thank you for being wonderful.

This is a bit of a Yay with a Grr. I've been busting my ass this year. Homeschooling and working 3 jobs (all part time), growing two relationships, recently my brother's stuff and preparing my boys for public schools. So the busting ass part, I've saved up money to take my boys on their first real vacation! I told them that when I wasn't home to snuggle them at night to remember that I was making money for us to take a vacation to the beach. So I'm at the point, with their limited summer, that it is time to book it. Trying to find dates that work so Dave Maynar and his sweetie can come visit, that my sweetie can visit, dates that work between in my schedule and fit into my budget are crazy hard. I know the boys would be happy where ever we go but I feel this immense pressure to pick just the right place. So yay that I've had a goal and saved to reach it, boo that it's becoming so difficult to find a spot.

It's the experiences that make a vacation perfect, not where you go or where you stay. There is no such thing as the perfect location and pretty much anywhere you go will have a million cool, unforgettable things to see and do nearby.
If you're going the hotel route let me know if you need a hand finding a deal, i love vacation planning and i'm pretty good at finding good deals. I'm not as experienced with vacation homes and condos if you're looking at that, but I can take a look too.

You are so right, I went ahead and booked it and we went the airbnb route!
Well, now there is no question whether I am depressed. It's a long complicated story, but it looks like we have to find a new house. Which was not in our plans. So it's looking like everything I have planned for the rest of the year could be off. Excuse me while I go bury my head in the covers & cry.

OMG! I'm so sorry. What a shitty thing to have to do, especially when it's out of your control.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. That sounds terrible. I'm hoping things can work out but even if the worst comes - you are one of the strongest and best people I know and you can get through it. Please let us know if we can help in any way.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I am very familiar with the hiding under the covers feelings lately. I hope it will work out somehow.

No! What happened? You know you can always call or text me <3
I had a bunch of tip money in a box in my car when I moved because I'm a lazy fuck and hadn't put it in the bank yet and I'm pretty sure it all got stolen. It was a lot of money
The past 3 days I have spent a total of 5 hours on the phone with Citi Card and Nationwide Insurance. I have always prided myself with how I handle myself when I'm upset and have to call customer service, but after the past few days I can no longer brag about how calm I am on the phone with reps. I feel terrible about how angry I've been with reps today. However, I am also so upset with the whole situation that I was almost in tears over how frustrated I am.... So now I'm stressed out and frustrated, while also feeling guilty about how rude I was on the phone with that poor customer service lady.
A yay and a grr post in the same day and it's not even dinner time. New record.

My friend just told me he drove home drunk from a party. I tried telling him what a piece of shit move that was and that he could've killed someone or gone to jail and his response was "could've but didn't".
Have you guys ever wanted to drive to someone's house just to beat the shit out of them? Because that's about the level I am at right now.

I feel like way too many people have such a casual attitude about this, including people I am friends with. I don't get it.
My Dad and I were just having a convo yesterday wondering WHAT will it take for people to seriously stop driving drunk? There are so many ways to avoid it nowadays, more than ever, and people still do it.
I just don't get it. I had my sober bestie drive us three of blocks to my house because I had two mimosas and was just a bit buzzed, when we went to the pool the other day. There's no reason to risk yours and everyone else's lives on the road, regardless of distance, because of being loaded. Fucking hate that so much.
Drunk driving is seriously one of the shittiest things a person can do. I'll stop my thoughts there because otherwise I'll get angry and start ranting.
This morning I woke up for work a little later than I wanted to, so I rushed out of bed. As soon as I stood up, the change in blood pressure immediately made me pass out, and I fell back-first into a cabinet I have sitting next to my computer. Luckily I don't think I did any real damage, but now my back is stiff and I'll probably be sporting a pretty bruise over the next few days. This really isn't how I wanted to start my morning.

Why drive drunk when uber is so much fun? I love when they have mints
Uber and Lyft are great services, but when you live in an area where it's not available you're stuck calling a taxi or relying on a DD.
It costs me $40 to take a cab from Albany to Troy. That's ridiculous. Those two cities are barely 10 miles apart. Our state senate is also the worst and really dragging their feet about letting ride sharing services operate outside of NYC.

I woke up with a nasty bruise. I don't remember what I did, but I remember thinking at the time, "that's gonna leave a mark..." (Pretty sure I walked into one of the footboards in the house putting away laundry). I bruise so easily that I am surprised JR hasn't been arrested for spousal abuse yet.

I bruise super easy too. When I was a kid, I bought a book at the book fair about a girl who had leukemia. She bruised a lot, so I became super convinced I had leukemia as well. Turns out I just bruise easy. Yay for that.

Sunday we had a house in the park event, with the after party at a bar. We left the after party about an hour before close. I'm walking in the parking lot and a car almost runs straight into me, while he was backing out. I jump out of the way and he hits the car behind him, pulls forward and straight back again and hits the car again. At this point the passenger rolls down the window and I start yelling at him, "Park your fucking car! Right now! You just hit that car twice and nearly ran over me. PARK THAT CAR!" He does, while I'm putting his licence plate number in my phone and both of them spill out of it. The passenger comes up and says, "Why are you yelling at us?" They are both wasted and I told him he was not driving, to take an uber, that he hit that car twice. We look at the car and there was no damage so both of them walk back into the bar.
Yesterday, we get a text that some guy fell off of the art car our group brought, and seriously hurt himself. Turns out it was the same guy who was the passenger in the car and they had both been taking and offering Valium all night. UGH!
I'm an idiot... I booked our tickets to LA a few days ago and I guess in my excitement that I was actually booking the trip at all, I didn't double check the minor detail of the departure date... We wanted to leave Monday, not Sunday. Now I feel terrible because Jack wanted to see Alice Cooper in Austin Sunday night, but in addition to this he also gets off a 17 hour flight and then 16 hours later he has to get back on another plane... I am a fucking idiot.
And no, I can't change the flights because it'll cost $200/per person to change the tickets to the correct date. Pretty sure what happened was that I had been looking at flights for the correct dates and knew what time we had decided on, then when I went to book I was focusing on flight times not dates. The flight times for Sunday and Monday are all the same, so I didn't notice. Again, I'm a moron... If you learn anything from this story please learn to TRIPLE CHECK EVERY DETAIL when making reservations for things, especially non-refundable things.

Sucky, but it could be much worse and you booked it for the wrong month or something and would have to pay $400 to change it. Also fly southwest, then you don't have to worry about it

Southwest gets a bad wrap, but they're seriously the besttttt.
