Part IA, Part UP

Ooops, apparently my co-workers are all noticing my depression and grumpy mood - I'm normally very happy-go-lucky- and they're all calling and checking on me to make sure I'm ok
WTF is up with me 

Still sending hugs. Grumpy moods are harder to deal with when you are normally happy and cheerful all the time. The only good point is people are more aware when it is a rare thing and can be there for you, where people tend to not notice 'out of sorts moods' in those who are constantly down in the dumps, and can be supportive.

UP: Got an appointment to see a specialist about my joints! Finally!

IA: Appointment isn't until December.

UP: Will check for cancellations, and possibly get lucky.

I bet it is just hormones.  Some months they can really hit you worse than other months.  When I'm feeling like this with no good reason I think, "Where am I in my cycle?"  That's when I realize the connection.  And the good thing is it always passes.

Thanks!! Playing some trombone tonight helped, hopefully I will crawl out of the right side of bed tomorrow! It does help me to vent/share on here as well...  

Found out we're having a downsized Thanksgiving this year, because my in laws will be away. It will just be me, DH and BIL...

It's an IA because I really like sharing the holiday with his whole family.
UP because BIL is an NFL fan. We will download the game and have a day of football and good food.

IA. Aunt Flow was supposed to be here 3 weeks ago I thought she wasn't coming this month she is usually around the same time most months. one of the lovely things thanks to PCOS she doesn't always make an appearance. if I miss 1 Aunt Flow the next months is usually twice as bad as the previous month.  

UP. I thought for sure Aunt Flow was going to be in town on my next Dietitians which is in less than 2 weeks since she is in town now that wont happened now thankfully.

IA. If Aunt Flow is in town next month she will be in town on my Anniversary grrr.

Aunt Flow is my least favorite relative.

UP: I got a puppy! Adorable puppy

IA: potty training and the screaming when you leave him at night oh vey!

Thanksgiving always feels better when there are a lot of people around. At least there will be some NFL involved.  I do know what you mean though, I love the big, busy whole family day of Thanksgiving and really miss it. Even though we celebrate with MIL, BIL, his wife and two of their kids, it still feels small compared to all the aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and assorted guests event my family does. There is just something about the happy chaos that makes my heart sing.

IA: HR being uncooperative about my excess vacation days -- they want me to use them up (4 weeks) by the end of December. 

UP: Went to an open house last week at a library where I did contract work a few years back. They are sooo nice there (and rehire people who have retired) I'm sorely tempted to email and ask if they've filled the position advertised last month!

UP: Awww I just got trick or treaters! 10 little gouls!!  

IA: Except I didn't buy any candy because I have to go to choral practice here and all the candy I got over the weekend I had brought into work so that I didn't eat it all myself.  So all I had were 5 curly wurlies I could give out.  But I did at least let them catch 'em so it was the luck of the draw.  But  unfortunately only half of them got candy    

UP: We have a friend visiting from Ireland and it's been really great.

IA: I am freaking exhausted.

UP: Had a job interview today. I'd applied long enough ago I forgot about the place, and got the call to come in.

IA: He said he wouldn't leave me hanging, and would let me know this afternoon - one way or the other. It is now 6:44 pm, the place is closed for the night which leads me to believe there won't be any calls made. I would have rather heard that he'd only call if I got the job, or told me then and there I wasn't getting it.

UP: The lad is on his way back today from two weeks in the UK 

IA:  I'll have to drag out this evening (after dark) to fetch him from the Logan Express drop-off place.  Then he'll dump all his bags on the kitchen floor, where they'll stay for at least a month

The gritters are out. Looks like winter has arrived!

If it snows, you have to build me a snowman... even if he is only two inches tall.  I used to build little ones and sit them in the window outside the entry at work. I haven't heard anything about snow here, but the past two winters we didn't see any until right before Christmas.
