    I'm just wiped out. I wonder if I can get the local hospital to put me in to an induced coma for a couple years.

    I'm a flight risk today lol. It's my last day for over a week. My hubs and I are going to wedding tomorrow so I took the next two days off. Then my mom is coming into town for a week. I can't wait; it's the first time I've been off for more than a couple days since last year. All my time off in the past 6 months has come bc someone was in the hospital.

    In other news, I lost 3lbs. I haven't put in to MPF bc I don't want my macros to change but YAY!!!!

    Day 14 in a row. I think the office furniture has finally accepted me as one of their own. It no longer seems to fight me when I'm sitting at my desk. Still not sure if the chair or the couch is the leader of the tribe.

    Secretly, the desk is leader of your tribe. The chair and couch only play 'supporting' roles.
    Ugh, working with a major head cold right now. On meds, thank goodness they work.

    Nope... I took the daytime ones for work but when I get home in 2 hrs I'll be taking the night version to help with sleep. They've never been able to come up with the combo that works like the old cheap cold meds. Right now the effectiveness of the stuff I took just before work is starting to wear off. :/

    I was doing that two weeks ago. With 14 hour shifts, it never lasts the whole shift. I end up taking more day meds about twice during the shift. One dose of the cold meds lasts all day though so I sleep OK. :smile:

    @Carbkiller1970... that's why I chose not to take that underpaid job, lol. Good for you though, I hope your family appreciates you.

    Chill little dude I found on the sidewalk. I took him with me on my perimeter patrol. He never once tried to jump out of my hand. Ib786b0b7ic4a.jpg
    put him down after he started getting restless.
