That is part of the business. The show in San Jose last weekend was way better than Oakland. The bad part about it was that the San Jose was more of a comic show while the Oakland was more of Anime.

How is everyone? This thread has been quiet! I hope PIO is OK. I haven't heard from her anywhere for a while. I know her DH is away, but usually she checks in.

I've been well.


I've rediscovered being OCD where being organised is concerned. I've just been unable to stop doing things around the house, work and the kitchen! I used to be completely over-the-top OCD and just HAD to keep everything neat and tidy. It got to the stage where I had to work very very hard at letting go and not doing anything at all. Turns out, my OCD was just lurking below the surface.

With DH gone, all I've done is work, work, work. I come home from work and then get going in the kitchen. Between cooking and planning food for the next day, I've just been in the mood of preparing as much as possible! I even pack DS lunch early!! And from the kitchen, it's on to the laundry. I haven't got any ironing in backlog at all!!! Can I also just say that the house is spotless??? I've been cleaning, vacuuming and mopping twice a week.
And the fridge is jammed packed with food. I don't know how we're going to eat it all.

DS is also being overly organised...by me. He's completely up to date with his homework and his music. We've been working hard on getting guitar and piano practise in; as well as making sure he has all his homework done. It's been at a point where all his assignments are ready....days in advance! [And no...I haven't been doing any of his homework....just been a drill sargeant at getting him to get it done!].

The upshot of all this activity?? I've been crashing every night at around 9.30 pm!




DH comes home on Wednesday (your Tuesday). I think I need to relax some of this routine and let go of this OCD behaviour.


Alison - your birthday bash is soon. Enjoy! It sounds like Fran is getting better.

Jo - Hope that your back hasn't been playing up at all.

Bret - sounds like you've had busy weekends as well.

Kimmar - I've been catching up on some of the other threads.

I thought you were busy with hubby gone.

Alison and Bret stay away from Madison and Manzanita as it is shut down due to active shooter locked up in the house.

Chris passed his cold onto me, darn it.

Glad to hear you have been well and it's just OCD stuff.

Is this in Sacramento? I'm not planning on going there any time soon, so I'll be good. Sounds scary though.

He was taken alive, he surrendered and watched him taken to the jail downtown.

One more night!

 

[franandaj]

I'm glad your DH will be coming home today!

 

[usnuzuloose]

Thank you for asking, it is just starting…yuck

PIO I am sure it will be a relief to have hubby home

 

[mvf-m11c]

Good evening Fogies.

Thanks PiO. It won't be too long until you and DS see DH.

I don't pay too much attention to the news so I didn't know about the shooter the other night.

Good evening fogies

We're guest free now. I enjoying having our space back.

PIO I'm sure you're happy today.

 

[usnuzuloose]

Relax PIO!

That was a fast visit Angela

That was a fast visit Angela

Not really, he was here for two weeks and I had to make all the arrangements for another place.

Oh my gosh where have I been? I guess I am more out of it than I think….

 

[ACDSNY]

That's what happens when you don't feel well.

 

[franandaj]

I'm glad you got him in a group home. Sort of sounds like what he needs. You don't need to be looking out for him.

DH is finally HOME! He had a great trip but we're all happy he's home. It's just gone 9 pm here and he's heading to bed now. He's been up for over 24 hours and I'm hoping he'll get a great night's sleep and then get back into the timezone tomorrow.

I guess this means normal routine for us and I'm hoping to finally finish that TR of mine. I have one more set of posts to go but haven't had any time to write it up.

He came home with 4 new Pandora charms for me....all Disney related and 3 of them are from this year's collection. The Disney Pandora charms aren't available for sale in Australia....yet. So, I'm really happy to be able to add to my collection.

Alison - Have a great time this weekend. Happy Birthday, my friend. I only wish I were there in 3D to help you celebrate it.

Angela - Hope that things work out for your brother. I think you've done the best for him and you.

Jo - Are you over the cold now? Get better soon.

Bret - Not long to go to another trip for you as well.

 

[mvf-m11c]

At least he is not with you now.

Nice to hear that DH got home safely and got you some Pandora charms.
