*** FFFC ***

Good morning, PC!

My FFFC- MH is sick with a head cold and I'm finding it hard to sympathize with him since I was just sick for 31 days (but who's counting?)

Last night I think his "mommy" was giving me the side eye because I wasn't all over him.

We do the 12-14 hour trip home tonight and I have a feeling MH won't feel like driving at all (we drive straight through) although I drove 6 hours here when I was sick as a dog.

I kinda feel bad but ugh.... Boys when they are sick!

Alright here's mine. Flame free, right?

We recently re-did our basement and built a bar, but we don't have a bathroom downstairs. I complain about having to go upstairs to use the bathroom. So on NYE, DH built me a toilet (that's love). He screwed a toilet seat onto a big bucket. He was so proud of his creation. So I peed in a toilet-bucket in my basement. Classy.

I am giving the serious side eye to my BFF and her H. They have a very good reason to be cautious with their money right now, but they are being stupid. Her H wants to buy an elliptical trainer (for $1500) because he has gained weight (nevermind that jogging is free). Their savings is depleted so he is using gift money to earn the purchase. We have a neighborhood garage sale FB site and last night someone put up a gently used (because how many people REALLY use their home gyms anyway) elliptical trainer for $225. I tagged it and they declined because he wants a new one. Really, dude!? It's not like you couldn't sell it and upgrade in a year or two if you actually use it. I know it's not my decision or my money, but it still really irks me that the guy who is panicked about their future and was talking about getting a second job is not willing to buy used.

I have a long-winded "I need your advice" thread I want to post but I need to get on my laptop to do it. My laptop only works in our office (i think the wifi card is bad?), and I'm currently sucked into the Best of Bravo tv marathon....on the couch @-)

FFFC#2  I just watched several videos of people pulling off Biore strips.  One was in HD.  It was disgusting and fascinating at the same time.

I love you )

I was going to pretty much post the same exact thing.Also, how I roll my eyes at people who complain about ttc when they are barely legal to drink. Like, some of us are working against the clock here.

*pregnancy mentioned* I got an email at work saying we are throwing a surprise baby shower for a co-worker. It is mandatory, as it is going to be part of our weekly meeting. I'm already planning ways to get out of it.

That's rather intrusive making it mandatory.  Sorry

HoldingOutHope said:

@meredithcarole ~ Can't blame you for side-eying them. I'd be thinking the same. Seems really weird to not want to save $ on a gently used machine.

Right!?  We're talking saving about $1300.  That's not chump change.  I don't get it.

My FFFC is a heavy one.

I don't feel like I fit here anymore. I don't believe I'll ever get to leave and so I'm questioning whether I should keep torturing myself with the revolving door that is TTCAL. I found out I was being lapped again today. Being lapped 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 times is its own special mind fuck.

Speaking of jeans, I do have another confession.  So I have been to 3 movies while on my MLOA and in every show I have unbuttoned and unzipped my jeans because the waistband hits right where my incisions are when I sit and it is uncomfortable.  I felt like a bit of a perv, but there was no way I could sit for 2 hours with it rubbing against my still tender abdomen.  I might also have them undone now....

I was actually thinking of all the ladies that have been here for so very long just yesterday. As you know there are no magic words but I can offer hugs.

@bluedaisy0627 WHHAAAAATTT!!  A mandatory baby shower? 

Menrandes

@pinkcamino Everything about this process sucks.  But yep, being lapped multiple times is it's own delightful form of suckiness. **hugs**

Nikolie93

Mandatory baby shower? Fuck that.

negritosmami

Hugs to you pinkcamino.

My house was in need of some serious cleaning when I started my vacay on dec 24. My vacay is officially over and I didnt do any of the cleaning..instead I stayed my lazy ass in my recliner with my puppy and caught up on all 5 seasons of walking dead...and finished breaking bad as well ">

I'm sorry love. Being lapped sucks and being stuck on this board.

I think that is one of the biggest difference between oldies and newbies on this board. In the first few months here you are excited and hopeful when you see someone graduate then, a few more months go by, and you realize you are the only person left in your BMB check-in because everyone else graduated.

You are an important part of this board and bring so much to it but the most important thing is for you to take care of yourself. If you need to step back and decompress, step back. It can be a big step or a little step (or no step). Whatever you do, make sure that it makes you feel better.

My FFFC

Since I have been logging my food I get insanely excited when dinner is going to be only around five hundred calories because that means I can have candy.



As long as I get my chocolate, I'm happy.

imnotfancy

@pinkcamino I'm so so sorry! Big ((hugs)) for you today. 

@bluedaisy0627 MANDATORY baby shower!?!?! That's ridiculous! No f-ing way!

My FFFC- I just replied to 3 emails that I was supposed to reply to 6 weeks ago. I had initially procrastinated because of laziness but then the mc happened and I haven't sent any emails for 4.5 weeks. Good thing it was the holidays... I don't think anyone really noticed.

@PinkCamino‌, I think @buggirl72‌ said it best. You need to do what's best for you, but please know how important you are to this board. @bluedaisy0627‌, definitely call out sick that day! That's ridiculous...

blackbird818

@HoldingOutHope‌ yea I totally side-eyed you for the Taylor Swift confession /:)

I still you though!!!!

I chewed out a sonographer today for being insensitive and,what I felt, unprofessional. I sent her my apologies for upsetting her (apparently the rqdiologist mentioned it to my physician) but I really don't feel a lick of guilt over it. She overstepped and deserved to be chewed out.

@bluedaisy0627‌ That spa day sounds fantastic. I think you're right and these ladies have the right idea. I am going to take a day off from life and go be pampered.

@pinkcamino Being here for so long is super difficult. You are a valued member of this community and I know I would miss you if you left. You need to do what's best for you though! Big hugs!!! I hate that so many are in this position! Sending you so many more big hugs!!

@furrypaws‌ *hug*

I just completely broke down in the pharmacy as I was buying my prenatal vitamin prescription. The cashier probably just thought it was pregnancy hormones... Which made it even worse. Seems to be a mind fuck for me buying them when I'm not pregnant and may never be again.

I may also be over emotional since CD1 is going to arrive in the next couple of days.

And I just want to echo that, Pink, you are absolutely a valued member of this community. There is so much respect for you so whatever decison you make, it will be understood.

When I went to the ER to received methotrexate for my ectopic they wanted to give me another sonogram before the shot( they thought my body had already started to miscarry it and wanted to double check) The lady came in to get me and obviously I didn't need my husband to come because there was nothing really to see. She then proceeds to say to my husband " what is wrong with you, why don't you want to see the baby???" I thought he was going to rip her head off. I told her and the doctor that was extremely unprofessional.
