TTT - Ten Things Tuesday

Esquette

Howdy all!  I saw that nobody had started ten things Tuesday yet (it is Tuesday, right?), so I figured I'd start it off.

So, here you go!  Give us 10 things.  Whatever is on your mind today.

***As always, please put any BFPs in their own thread for us to celebrate!***

1. I was walking around the building today when I realized that it was Tuesday!  Hooray!  I love ten things Tuesday.

2. I needed a doctor's letter to show to my district that said that I am okay to drive a car.  It was terrible.  My doctor wouldn't write it without doing a DOT physical, which my district doesn't need and wouldn't reimburse me the 120$ it would cost to get one.  It was terrible. There were tears.  It took the better part of two hours, plus lots of phone tag, but it's all fixed now. Which is good, because I need to do work-related driving on Friday.

3. When I looked at the letter I wrote, I saw that my doctor had actually written in my letter that I had been treated for ovarian cancer. My tumor was listed as "borderline."  I guess I had cancer??  Even though nothing changed about my tumor or surgery or whatever, I still feel sort of unsettled and confused.

4. I love the blog Captain Awkward.  It's a fun advice blog that works on setting and enforcing social boundaries.  

5. Sometimes I want to get a baby carrier and put my cat in it and carry her around.  That's normal, for sure.

6. I am working on a Sperm Bank Spreadsheet.  All problems can be solved if they are sufficiently analyzed, right?  That's a true thing?  I am afraid we'll have to break it down into deciding whether we can afford to be picky about family limits.  Sweetie doesn't really understand feeling strong genetic ties to kids, and I don't think she'll be too worried about our kiddos having lots of diblings.  I don't know how I feel though.  I know that lots of people don't like the idea of there being 50 kids out there with half of their kids genes, but I'd really like to know more about why that's so hard.  I feel uneasy about it, but can't articulate why.

7. I'm thinking about replacing my very slow laptop and/or my very slow iPad.  I've been toying with getting a Surface Pro 3, but they are so damn expensive.  It would be cheaper to buy a decent chromebook and a new iPad than a Surface.  Anybody own one and would recommend for or against?

8.  Netflix is down.  Boo!  

9. Sometimes I wish I could do my exact same job, but start and end later.  I hate getting up before 7am.  I am such a night owl!

10.  I am so excited.  After hanging out with our favorite couple this weekend, my Sweetie turned to me and announced that she thinks we should ask them to donate the spermsss.  They are almost certainly going to move in the next year, though, so we'll have to think hard about what that means for us.  But it would be so nice to get cheap sperm and try at home for a few months before moving on to the expensive stuff.  If the sperm is going to cost us 500$ and up each month, I don't know how long we can afford to try at home.  On the other hand, I don't know if we need to go rushing right into spending thousands and thousands of dollars at the doctor's office right away.  Welcome to my confused brain, everybody!

@esquette - Sorry to leave you hanging!  This is a weird time.  I'll only speak for myself (you can see more in the Roll Call thread that 2mamaz started), but many folks are struggling with the changes going on here and are perhaps taking a break/step back to figure out if they want to continue posting on this board.  It's nothing about the people and everything to do with the changed management.

i'll try some   

1. i dont have time to learn the new board hopefully before R comes  i hope i'm not left alone on a deserted board after LOL

2. everyone is being too nice to me, offering too many things. i am too independent to allow this. (late) pregnancy is weird!  (a lot of it has to do with the snow/ice but still. i dont need a personal driver! LOL

3. R hiccups a TON. DW and i got each other a little worried bc Dr. Google said it could have to do w/ the umbilical cord and we had just had the appt on the marginal umbilical cord insertion BUT the nurse @ the Dr's office said it was fine.  

4. Getting taxes done tonight.  Wooo! was nervous i'd have to reschedule this one if i were in labor

5. Tomorrow we have a Dr appt.  Our Dr doesnt like to "check" unless there's a reason but she said we would determine it tomorrow. i dont want to be checked.  But, it is weird to not be part of the "how many centimeters are you" club on the Feb 15 board lol.

6.  We planned NOTHING for the next few weekends, just in case.  And, last weekend. And that made us BORED. So we started watching Revenge on Netflix. It's really good!

7.  (On Revenge) they make it seem like Southampton & Montauk are next door to each other... riiight. 

8.  I actually slept OK last night!

9.  I am anti- grocery shopping, etc lately (because I am too tired/big/annoyed) and of course there are all these great coupon deals... LOL

10.  My sister is flying in on 2/14. Our due date is 2/17. I asked her who would be getting her from the airport (like if we are in labor....)  I dont think she "got" it.  LOL. (ETA- because my mom would be at the hospital too not bc we would actually offer)
