Hi, I’m Anne. ♓️🇺🇸
I’ve been a CoSo user since 2017 but thought I’d re-introduce myself for all the new folks.

Live in eastern ND, born/raised in MN.
Previously divorced; don’t have/want kids.
No 🐱🐶, just plants & spouse.
I enjoy cooking & watching Kdramas.
I work in healthcare fraud.
Atheist. Humanist. In my early 40s.
I prefer to observe/listen. I am awkward.
I may or may not be a cute little pig.

I’ve learned so much in my 5 years here at Counter.Social….

Most people are great and very few are not. Mute or ignore the bad apples.

It’s okay to change your mind. It’s okay to pause and say “I think I read or understood that wrong” or “I was wrong about that”.

It’s okay to disagree with someone. You can disagree without tearing one another down.

Taking breaks and walking away when it gets to be too much is a good way to cope with social media use.

Everyone feels genuine.

I was going to do my nails but need to wait until Tuesday since I have bowling tomorrow night. Unless bowling gets cancelled due to weather but I don’t think that will happen because so far it’s been quite the non-storm. Maybe 2”

One week to vacation 🎉
Better run all my errands today due to the 8-17” of snow with wind forecast for Sunday/Monday 😅

I looks nice out today but there’s a winter storm brewing for 2-6” of snow Thursday-Friday then another storm of 6” of snow Sunday and 6” Monday. March is going out like a Lion this year!

Two more weeks of work.
Apparently my sisters have already started packing 😂 I’ll do it the day or two before.

Happy Pi Day and Happy Birthday to me!

I’m getting older and need an eyeglasses prescription. Had lasik in 2018/2019 and had 5 years without glasses. I’m okay to need glasses again if it means no more headaches or eye fatigue. Plus I can see without glasses instead of everything being suuuuper blurry.

Pulled out my old pair of glasses to wear to see if that helps the headaches until my eye appointment in 2 weeks.

I’m grateful for a job where I have the freedom to go to a mid-day eye appointment and not feel like work is piling up while I’m gone 🙏🏼

I always thought ‘approximately’ meant exactly and not roughly. Huh.

Decided to check for sooner appointment with the big health system ophthalmologist and got an appointment for Monday afternoon. Huzzah!

Face still hurts. Pretty sure it’s vision-related. Called and made an eye appointment but the soonest they had available is the 28th. Asked to be put on cancellation list. I hope something opens up.

Phone upgraded & international plan added. I’m ready. Let’s go (in 3 weeks).

I either have a sinus infection or iritis is flaring up again for the first time in years. Either way I can’t get an optometrist appointment for 20 days 😩 hopefully they have a cancellation and I can get in sooner 🤞🏼

We upgraded our return flight from Dublin to DFW to business class 👍🏼

Oops just lied to a guy who knocked in my window and asked if I was Finnish because I have ‘SISU’ on my car. I thought he asked if I was finished (shopping). No longer at Costco, a different store parking lot.

Enraging people by sitting in my car in the Costco parking lot but not leaving.

Speaking of vacation our hotels and flights were finalized. That’s good. Not sure if possible but my sisters want to know if we can upgrade at least 1 of our long-haul flights to business class. Guess I have to call the airline.

Head colds are the worst. Trying to knock it down with Sudafed and NyQuil but that makes the rest of my body feel icky. On top of that I’ve been trying to help cover for a coworker who is out sick and suddenly am inundated with my own projects circling back. Argh. 29 days til vacation.
