Throat Punch Thursday

Because sometimes, violence IS the answer (as long as it's only in your head).

TP to the distance between me and abuela. She was just admitted to the hospital because her 'legs wouldn't work'. I hate that I can't just fly down on a whim. But of course, with Christmas, fares are out of control. We just can't afford it. I just hope I can get some money by January and that I'm not too late.

@lemonliz My mom swears by bacon and peanut butter on the trap (always worked in the 160+-year-old farmhouse we used to live in). Good luck with that little guy! My sis has one in her apartment now and was freaking out, so she took to calling him Algernon to make it feel like he was less threatening.

@theholmanherd Said a prayer for abuela's health and comfort in the holiday season and that you will get to visit soon!

TP, yet again, to suffering and pain in the elderly. One grandma is reeling from her second chemo treatment, and the other is back in the hospital for the 3rd time (1. stroke, 2. congestive heart failure, 3. pneumonia). She was so healthy and independent just recently and now she is on oxygen and going to a rehab center. The hardest part is that I feel like moving back to the US allowed me to start building really close relationships with both grandmas, as an adult now, and it feels too soon to think of saying goodbye.

I'm sorry for your abuela's health problems, and that you are so far away @theholmanherd. @BunnyBerry, I'm so sorry for your grandmothers' illnesses too . Old age is so cruel sometimes.

I'd like to TP some of my clients, but other than that nobody has been a real jerk lately (thank God!). So, I'll donate mine to somebody else... Merry Christmas!

@iputketchuponketchup I'll have a glass or two for the right cause.

Thank you!

TP to my RE's office once again. Now because of how things went last cycle we have to find a new RE that will be even further away. Hopefully we will have a better experience at a new place.

I am sorry to hear about everyone's grandparents. Getting old sucks! My Grandma just turned 91 and we spent the afternoon with her last weekend. She is doing ok for now but, it could go the other way at any time and I don't feel ready for that at all. I work with the elderly population and Hospice patients and I have a hard enough time even when I am in nurse mode.

Hang in there everyone who is not having the best day. I am thinking positive thoughts for everyone here.

TP to the mouse living in my house, who is eating all of my chocolate. Bitch, I love me the animal kingdom, but when you fuck with an IF woman's chocolate, you have just declared war. BRING IT.

And TP the world's most USELESS dogs for watching the chocolate thief run across the living room floor last night and doing nothing about it. Y'all are fired!

I literally LOL'd. My Berner has a big bark, but as soon as anyone comes within 5 feet of him (like a stranger), he runs into our bedroom or behind my husband. So, I'm good as long as a potential intruder or attacker doesn't get close. The wrath of my corgi just isn't intimidating enough LOL

Holms, I'm so sorry about Abuela being back in the hospital and the fact that Christmas fares are out of control. She's a tough lady though and prayer is a powerful thing. Don't let the thought of "I hope I make it in time" weigh you down. You know damn right well Abuela wouldn't want to be the cause of stress for you during the holidays. ALL the wine.

TP to one of the staff members at my REs office. We've been playing phone tag for a couple days and almost caught her call in time but just missed it, so I called right back (literally two seconds later) and was told she stepped out of the office. Seriously? In a matter of two seconds from the last ring? Even I couldn't manage to "step out of the office" in two seconds and I walk like a crack head. I mean seriously.. what did you do after you called me - drop the phone and run away??

1. Thank you for these kind words, and for the kind words and prayers of all of you (too many to tag!). It is much appreciated. Of course, H has been in and out of town for the last 2 weeks so I've barely seen him. BUT, I just rediscovered two bottles of wine in the back of my fridge, so.....

2. This is what I always picture when this happens! Seriously, wtf? LMAO

I want to TP my freaking uterus. Usually I start spotting 10-11 DPO and I'm 12DPO with no spotting and 3 negative pregnancy tests (tested 9, 10, 11 DPO) and I have the most insane cramps (and major break outs on my chinny chin chin...I hate you hormones)...like someone is stabbing me in the freaking stomach so I just want my damn period to come so I can get it OVER with. Come on AF just come already, stop putting me through this shit.

Thank you, rant over.

redandblue · December 2014

@lemonliz LMAO at your TP this week. Like seriously! I totally understand how frustrating those little bastards can be! 2 years ago I started cleaning out our awful Tupperware cupboard to find some very serious evidence of mice. The long and short of that story resulted in me getting a new kitchen!! lol. (turned out we had a significant leak in our roof, totally not related to the mice...long story) When we ripped out the kitchen we found piles and piles of cat food! All around our dish washer, in the ceiling etc.! We definitely had a broken cat, who I had vision of him sitting back and watching the mice walk away with his food!

I give my TP's this week to those who need an extra one!

@rainbowbridge14 - I can't believe I missed your update. I'm so sorry.

I missed it, too. So sorry, Rainbow. (((HUGS)))

TTCBabyJ · December 2014

@theholmanherd‌ & @BunnyBerry‌ I'm sorry to hear about your grandmothers. ((Hugs))

TP to all the students emailing who didn't do shit the whole semester and now they have to get a B, C or D in the class to transfer, get a job, travel to the moon or [insert any excuse that has nothing to do with me]. I'm not filling a change of grade because your grade was not a mistake! Now leave me alone until February. [-X

dancerspose · December 2014

@rainbowbridge14 I am so sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers to you and your whole family during this time.

@theholmanherd and @bunnyberry I am so sorry for your grandmothers illnesses. I can't imagine how difficult it is period, let alone this time of year.

This is more of an OPP, but I'm turning it into a TP because I need to vent and can't wait until Tuesday so ***pregnancy mentioned***

TP to the totally sweet but infuriating young woman who taught my ballet class last night. I take an adult class once a week, and really look forward to it. Well yesterday I showed up for class and we had a sub teacher (the teachers are always young women, in their 20s). I wouldn't have thought anything about the way she looked other than maybe she ate a big meal because she was very skinny with a bit of a pudge. But no, about halfway through the class she starts complaining about being tired and says it's because she's pregnant with her first (found out at the end of class she's only 10 weeks). Then she spends the rest of the class complaining about her own (perfect looking to me) balance and energy level are all off because of the pregnancy. Seriously, stop complaining! When we finish class she said she thinks she may start taking the class with us to stay in shape during her pregnancy. Seriously? I do not think I can handle that! I'm so bummed. I texted another friend from class who wasn't there last night and knows about our IF struggles, and she agreed to pre and post game with me if the pregnant girl starts coming. But seriously, way to ruin one of my favorite parts of my week!
