Well the kitchen got sorted out in the end, and it looks fantastic - we can never move now! A few little things remain - the built-in spots aren't working properly, and the Quooker isn't installed yet; but all in all it's great!
But bigger things are happening here at Reluctance Residence.
It started earlier this week - G got sick on Tuesday evening, some super-virulent stomach bug that has knocked out half the nursery school (adults and kids alike); I mean a really bad, get-the-exorcist stomach bug. So since Wednesday was my first day at work (YUP!), hubby had to stay home that day with her. He was not happy, let me tell ya.
(Work update part 1: Got a job helping out at the deli counter at a store I used to work at a loooooong time ago!
part 2: Met the head of Neuropathology, who wants to hire me for some project work, fingers crooosssseeeedddd!!!
But for now it's the deli counter, and I'm having fun with that.)
And since Thursday was my second day, and hubby refused to stay home, we called in my mom. She stayed with the kids in the morning, and I left work early (how embarrassing is that on day 2!). And when I got home A was doing a great impersonation of Linda Blair too! Poor kid :(
And when hubby FINALLY got home and I was looking forward to a little help, he started puking his guts out as well, so I had more work instead. I mean I feel bad for him and all, but dammitt! It is so unfair!
So since it really doesn't feel right to go to work in a deli counter when 3/4 of the family is throwing up (plus I don't like my odds either, ugh!), I talked to my boss and said I'd see him Monday.
Very embarrassing to miss work on the first week, ugh...but then again, this is beyond my control! I think he gets it, thank goodness...
I'm glad we don't really celebrate Thanksgiving here, or this one would probably be the worst one ever!
Still - I'm thankful that it'll be over soon.
