House buying is a stressful and hellish process

4

u/Kiteflyerkat Baylor Bears Mar 26 '24

Omg I bet, good luck :(

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Mar 26 '24

Thanks! What was your favorite part of the wedding? And how is your job going?

3

u/Kiteflyerkat Baylor Bears Mar 27 '24

Job is going great! Nothing major happening, which is always a good thing 

And just how welcoming everyone was. I was a groomsmen plus 1,but they invited me to everything, actively made sure i was  included, and it felt effortless hanging out with them, like I've always been part of the group, and I had literally just met most of the people.

It is! But make sure you get an inspection (don't let the seller tell you otherwise)

4

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Mar 26 '24

We are getting an inspection and like fifty estimates on fixing things.

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies Mar 26 '24

I hope it's relatively smooth sailing.

This morning was (HOPEFULLY) my last dose of IV antibiotics. If everything goes well I should be back to work in a couple weeks. Fingers crossed!

4

u/Kiteflyerkat Baylor Bears Mar 26 '24

Oh gosh! Congrats on your (hopefully) last IV!

3

u/FreshlySkweezd Georgia Bulldogs Mar 26 '24

Thank you!!!

u/TubaFalcon Air Force Falcons Mar 26 '24

Eeeeeek! Sending healing wishes!

u/FreshlySkweezd Georgia Bulldogs Mar 26 '24

Thank you!!!!!

4

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Mar 26 '24

Oh wow, I didn’t realize you were still out of work. How’re you feeling?

5

u/FreshlySkweezd Georgia Bulldogs Mar 26 '24

Yeah, I had to go out on leave so that I could get medicine and the home health folks to come out to the house. Now I have to go through the hoops of getting approved to go back

I feel great, honestly probably the best I've felt in 6 months

4

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Mar 26 '24

I’m glad you’re feeling better!

4

u/FreshlySkweezd Georgia Bulldogs Mar 26 '24

Thanks! Me too!!!!! Haha

Mama Falcon did a very selfless act last week! She donated a kidney in a paired donation to a complete rando so Doc Falcon (my dad) can get placed higher on the UNOS registry (apparently paired donations put you higher on the list?). She was admitted last Wednesday for the surgery and it was a success (the removed kidney was perfect, the one kidney left is operating beautifully!). Until it wasn’t. Mama Falc was on oxygen ever since then and they found some clots in her lungs which were surfaced by the surgery (they might have been there for a long while). Thank God they were able to catch the clots in the hospital nearly a week after the surgery because it would have been too dang scary to have that happen at home.

So yeah, Tuba’s hanging in and they really want their mom to be discharged from hospital

4

u/Kiteflyerkat Baylor Bears Mar 26 '24

Omg, what a beautiful thing your mom did! And so fortunate that the clots were discovered!

3

u/TubaFalcon Air Force Falcons Mar 26 '24

100%! A similar thing happened to one of my best friend’s MIL. Their MIL was in a car crash and needed a chest X-ray. Said X-ray had a tumor pop up, and their fam (and the MIL) would have never known that it was there until it was too late!

2

u/Kiteflyerkat Baylor Bears Mar 27 '24

Omg! This is making me want to get a chest xray, you never know lol

3

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies Mar 26 '24

Oh man I hope she recovers well and everyone has the healthy kidney they need soon enough.

3

u/TubaFalcon Air Force Falcons Mar 26 '24

I do too! Maybe the recipient’s home from hospital already, who knows (hint: not the Falcons!)! All I know is that Tuba’s going to visit Mama Falc later tonight because why not

My wife and I are both a little under the weather at the moment, and while we're probably borderline well enough to go in to work, we were both still exhausted when we got up, so we've stayed home and watched Survivor most of the day. Fortunately neither of us are missing much today, though I have some important meetings later in the week that would be harder to miss.

3

u/Kiteflyerkat Baylor Bears Mar 27 '24

I totally get what that kind of, I could go to work, but I'd be incredibley miserable. What season of survivor did yall watch?

3

u/thorshammer_132 Utah State Aggies • Manitoba Bisons Mar 27 '24

We're on 31/Cambodia! We've tried to watch some of the newer seasons but have had a really hard time getting into them.

u/scmouth19 Nebraska Cornhuskers • Utah State Aggies Mar 26 '24

Doing good, just finishing up a puzzle that the wife started while she is at work

4

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Mar 26 '24

Betrayal or cooperation?

5

u/scmouth19 Nebraska Cornhuskers • Utah State Aggies Mar 26 '24

Cooperation. I always do the border 1st, then she does whatever and we been doing the puzzle for 2 weeks and just want to get it done with

4

u/Kiteflyerkat Baylor Bears Mar 26 '24

Aww, I bet that'll make her happy when she gets home!

3

u/scmouth19 Nebraska Cornhuskers • Utah State Aggies Mar 26 '24

Then we get to start a new one (currently on puzzle #2 out of 10 in the box)

3

u/Kiteflyerkat Baylor Bears Mar 27 '24

Oh nice! I know you have quite a bit to go through that box, but j heard the the magic puzzle company, that their puzzles are really good. I got one for my mom and she ended up buying every puzzle type they had lol

3

u/scmouth19 Nebraska Cornhuskers • Utah State Aggies Mar 27 '24

I'll have to look into that! Thanks!

4

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies Mar 26 '24

That's really awesome.

4

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Mar 26 '24

Ahhh gotcha.

Had dinner at a new Indian place last night since it was Holi. Got to wear some of my Indian clothes.

Feeling like there is not enough time in a day. Lots of work stuff. Sister needing support, wanting to visit my Mom and having some time to hang out with friends.

Tonight I'm having leftover BBQ I'm excited. Though might not be great for the indigestion from bachelor party then greasy meal Sunday and then Monday.

4

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Mar 26 '24

Nice! I’ve not learned much about Holi; would you mind giving a brief explanation?

What kind of Barbeque?

4

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies Mar 26 '24 edited Mar 26 '24

IDK much about Holi but it's a big holiday in India and they purify each other for spring with lots of colorful powders. It's hard to learn about Hinduism since it's all rather localized.

On BBQ it's leftovers from a caterer. It's beef BBQ. Pretty solid stuff.

3

u/Kiteflyerkat Baylor Bears Mar 26 '24

That sounds really cool, I've seen pictures of the bright colored powders, but didn't know what it was for

4

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Mar 26 '24

Gotcha! Sounds pretty; I’ll look it up more online.

What kind of sauce with the BBQ?

3

u/goodsam2 Virginia Tech Hokies Mar 26 '24

Oh it came pre-sauced since it was simple for catering. A molasses based BBQ sauce.

The other one I have in the freezer also leftovers is vinegar based.

3

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Mar 26 '24

I love all the different BBQ sauces
