Re: Weekly Randoms w/o February 23

  • @gomillis oh that's awesome!  My former co-workers knew I didn't drink, some of my current ones may not. 🤷 They still will give me wine as a gift, and I just say THANK YOU!  At least now we have something to offer company if it ever came up, but that's hilarious that she's going to get tipsy and ask you if you're an alcoholic. 🤦🤦🤦 Uhm.... No.  No I am not. ????

    Did you tell her you are training for a marathon? 👍
  • @gomillis geez

    "why aren't you drinking?? Surely you must be a recovering alcoholic!"

    @blackgirlmagic, nope! The Targets anywhere halfway close to me (within a few hours) have plenty of regular suits, but no maternity. I just checked their website with the "pick up in store" filter on - zero results.

    I just ordered a couple sizes through Target and then I will return what I don't want in store to avoid the shipping cost to return them.

    FYI, Target has buy one, get one half price on their swimsuits right now! So if you're buying a two-piece, you're in luck!
  • I also won’t be going to Disney any time soon. 
  • @hypermusic My mom is a nurse, and of course I did what every daughter of a nurse does when they get bad or worrying health news, I called my mommy. Last year I made major health changes, I changed my diet, I started working out, I lost 70 pounds in a really healthy way, one to be proud of even.  Then I got got pregnant.. and while I haven't stopped exercising, my diet has slipped some. I'm eating much more fatty foods and more fried foods that I was eating before. I'm not over gaining weight, so I'm clearly not over eating too much, but the content of my diet has rapidly changed. Even just losing that much weight alone and then getting pregnant would be enough to trigger issues, adding the diet changes would only exacerbate it.  I am also having some aching in the lower right side of my abdomen, and I have been low grade nauseated for weeks. These could be warning signs for gallbladder issues.. or I could just be pregnant. We(my mom and I) really do think this is probably my gallbladder.

    Of course I'll see when what the specialists think when I get to them on Tuesday next week, but this really does seem to be the most likely culprit at this time. It's not ideal, but there are many work arounds for gallbladder issues depending on severity, and gallbladders are removed from pregnant woman more often than I knew before I started looking into it. I'm still super nervous, but every day that I still feel basically fine I'm a little less so, and I know that if it is my gallbladder, I will be okay.

  • @gomillis Sorry about the rough situation at work with the layoffs. It's never easy. Also wierd about your coworker assuming you're an alcoholic! In regards to your coronavirus question, I work in a school and we haven't even heard about a plan. There are no known cases in my area. But we had a big flu outbreak and some schools closed due to poor attendance or so many teachers being out. Our school starting sanitizing in the evening after all the kids and teachers were gone. I'm hoping keeping up with similar routines will keep us in decent shape but I'm a little panicked about it all too. 

    @psychobutthead So sorry about all the stress your under and now not feeling well. I hope you get some rest and feel better soon. 
  • @psychobutthead You just can't catch a break, can you? That's so shady that she might've taken photos of you and texted them out. I'm sorry you have to deal with someone like that. I'm glad the meeting about your daughter went well, though! Kids are going to be kids, and I hope she learned from her mistake. Thank goodness my school never had cameras during school dances. 🙃😂
  • @blackgirlmagic Totally 100% agree with what you said in regards to other bmbs and moving to something better!

    @hypermusic I work for a really big company so it’s possible it’s the same one as your husband! Although I heard about a couple of other companies that had layoffs recently so who knows.

    edited to add: I’m glad YH didn’t lose his job! Hope it wasn’t too stressful for him. 

    @psychobutthead Wow of all people to run into today. It’s really not your week ❤️

    @blackgirlmagic A lot of people I work with don’t have kids and I think are just kind of clueless about this stuff. Meanwhile I’m the baby obsessed creep who’s always on the lookout for signs people are pregnant and usually suspect way before they tell me 😂
  • I don’t remember who was asking about how schools/daycare are going to handle the virus if/when it gets here, but I saw that my county’s public school is updating parents with what they know. I’m assuming that if it does get here this is how they will communicate and share information. Here is the link if you want to see what they said. It’s super basic and real general since there is not much to report at the moment: https://www.mymcmedia.org/mcps-updates-on-coronavirus-confirms-no-cases-in-maryland/

  • @gomillis No word from our daycare either, and they've been similarly slow on the ball/uncommunicative in other situations. (Example: Last summer the whole school passed around HFM, and we had no idea it was a thing until DS came down with it on vacation. It took us forever to figure out what was wrong with him, come to find out there'd already been 4 cases in his class the previous week...) I know there's not much they can actually do, but I'd just like to feel confident that they're going to share the information they have about the number of potentially sick kids in the school so that we can all make our own decisions about whether to keep them home.
  • @mrs_sheddy I'm sorry that you had to go through all of that, but I'm glad that your results came back normal. And congratulations on having another girl!

  • Took ds1 for his 4yo check up. His dr put him on a inhaler as he is showing very early signs of asthma. That damn inhaler costs 55 fracking dollars and we can't get it until H gets paid at the beginning of the month. I can't believe how expensive it is! Ugh!

  • I noticed yesterday at the library that they had coronoavirus posters up, but they didn't mention the virus, which I found kind of amusing. They were printouts from the WHO and basically said normal cold/flu prevention-type stuff with the addition of the bit about breathing difficulty and going to the doctor if you have those symptoms. They didn't seem like normal cold/flu prevention posters what with the addition of breathing issues and seeing a doctor, but there was no mention of the virus by name.
