I'm exhausted. Why isn't this week over yet?? #morecoffee

When I was still awake 2.5 hours after my normal bedtime last night, I knew today was going to be brutal. Old enough to know better... #morecoffee

How is it Wednesday already and yet how is it only Wednesday?? I'm going to need a lot more coffee to make it to Friday. #morecoffee

Good morning CoSo, it's Friday! Will I get to relax this weekend? The to-do list says "doubtful." Maybe it will rain and I can get a nap in. #morecoffee

How is it Thursday already?? Oh that's right, my work life is stuck in a perpetual groundhog day scenario where I try to make progress but ultimately spend my week redoing the same calculations and rewriting the same report I've recalc'd/rewritten for the last several months because someone wants to tweak the design. Maybe this week will be the last week. #probablynot #morecoffee

*sigh* it's time to get this week started and admit that now matter how much I whine there will be no do-over of the weekend. ☕
#morecoffee

Me at 9 pm taking Ashwagandha, 5 HTP, Valerian root, and a double dose of melatonin: This will help me sleep through the night

My body at 1 am: The hell it will. Wakey wakey!

Doggo #2: Well, since you're awake...I'm going to go chase nocturnal wildlife and bark like mad so that the whole neighborhood wakes up with you. I don't want you to be alone mom! Come play in the yard with me!

#exhausted #morecoffee

This week is going to be a test of my patience and my ability to keep my mouth shut. Spoiler alert: I am not patient and my co-workers have nicknamed me "unfiltered" because I don't keep my mouth shut. If I'm lucky no one will call me and they won't ask me to attend any meetings. Maybe I need to add an extra mile to my daily run and double up on the valerian root. #notlucky #justbreathe #nobiting #morecoffee

I had to go to the office yesterday, which meant putting on pants. While it was fun to see the difference in the fit because of my weight loss....they're still pants. I hereby declare today to be No Pants Wednesday. Now, let's drink our coffee and get the day's adventure started. #morecoffee

Good morning CoSo! We're trying out the double caffeinated Cyclone coffee this morning and hoping that gets us through this Thursday. For some reason short weeks always feel longer than regular weeks, but it's almost over. #morecoffee

NC weather: High of 97 today with 95% humidity. I think I'll just go find a dark cave to hide in. ugh. #morecoffee

*sigh* doggo #2 is behaving strangely....time to call the vet. It's too early for weird mystery behavior #morecoffee

This hasn't been a particularly difficult week but I just feel very sluggish and out of energy. Thankfully there is coffee and this week is almost over. ☕ Have a great morning CoSo #morecoffee

Is 9 am too early for a nap? Asking for a friend....

#sotired #morecoffee

I'm not sure where the weekend went, but I'd like to request a do-over. I'm not ready for a Monday, especially not a Monday with a four hour meeting. Also, I am drinking my second to last cup of coffee before I run out. Thankfully more is on the way, but I'm a bit of a mess this morning #morecoffee

The Friday work day must begin so that it can end. I'm not entirely sure what the weekend holds but I'm sure that learning new things and sewing upholstery covers are on the agenda. Let's get this moving! #morecoffee

I feel like I have a work hangover from yesterday, but the submittal went into review last night and hopefully I can stay focused long enough to get the review comments addressed so it can go out the door on Wednesday. I have other things I want to focus on aside from work *sigh* work/life balance is hard. #morecoffee #brainhurts #crispay

I am noise sensitive and like silence in the morning. I am surrounded by people who wake up chatty...my SO, my mother, my coworkers. Except for one coworker who also likes silence in the morning. I love her for that. If for some reason we need to communicate beyond texting before we're ready to be verbal, we share screens without voice. We don't call without first asking if we're ready for sound. I wish all of my coworkers were equally understanding. #Shhhhhhh #morecoffee

Good morning CoSo! Grab your morning beverage of choice and let's get this Thursday going! The weekend is almost upon us. Two more days of this insane heat and then we get a short break before the next round. Weight loss is stalled, but holding and I don't know that I can ask for much more when it's too hot to be outside most of the day. The SO is still losing weight and I'm on this journey to support her so that's all that matters. Deep breaths. Today will be good. #morecoffee

Today's meetings are all about "Why aren't you done yet?" followed by "Oh yeah we changed all of that and forgot to tell you," followed by starting over. I refuse to get frustrated although I am seriously tempted to put myself in "presenting" mode and act like I'm in a very serious meeting all day long so people leave me alone. Or maybe I could "accidentally" lose internet and work offline for a few hours....so many possibilities. #morecoffee
