I am grumpy today. I guess because it feels like Monday? I almost chewed out a woman at the disability office because I walked all the way over there to deliver an exam, and I couldn't drop it off because someone was taking an exam in the office and couldn't be disturbed.
I am seeing my Ph.D. advisor tonight at a talk he is giving. I haven't heard back from him about the revisions I sent last week. Maybe that means he's reading them very carefully? I don't know if he is going to bring it up tonight, but I am kind of nervous.

I have a snow day so I'm at home. DD's birthday party is this weekend and my house really needs to be cleaned but I just don't feel like it. So far I've folded a load of laundry and caught up on some tv.
People are annoying today. I had two teachers call in sick this morning, but they waited until 7:20 when school starts at 8:00. Another teacher asked me to put together a bunch of random office supplies, really can you not go to the supply room and do it yourself? You have two plan periods! Yet another dropped off a bunch of stuff to be faxes, again, really? Can you not fax something yourself? I'M NOT YOUR SECRETARY!
H got an email about a job at 11 oclock last night. Should I take this as a sign they are interested in him (it was a personalized email about a position after a friend sent his resume in) or the email writer is just a late night person?
Speaking of late night, I barely slept two straight hours last night. Guess I'm ready for motherhood. I'm getting some Unisom of something because that was one of the worst nights of my life.
With wind chill the temp here is -14 degrees. I want to stay in bed with my dog and cat all day. Instead I have to go to work tonight and do a Mad Science program with twenty kindergartners and 1st graders. Boo!
Surprised made it to work today, completely running on empty. Another night couldn't sleep, between everyone snoring, snow removal..and early gym before work. I will probably leave early today to get some sleep.
I decided to finally start my pre-wedding fitness and diet (3 months before the wedding), oops :^)
I'm back on MFP and bought a personal trainer membership at my gym, so will have a trainer session once a month. My first trainer session was yesterday and I am hurting today.
There are a few posters that seem to have a hard time putting together coherent sentences. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt that they are on their phone, but I don't think that's true
I am grumpy and don't feel well - the only thing that is getting me through today is the yummy dinner we made last night (leftovers that we get to eat tonight) and the fact that I also have a very delicious wine waiting for me that goes perfectly with the dinner.
I am sick of the weather and feel like Eeyore right now.

Power went out this morning. No shower this morning. Had to leave for a doctor's appointment without breakfast because I'm not allowed to eat out. Took forever to get down here. The waiting room set up is too small for the number of paitents they have crammed in here. My appointment confirmation said 10:30.... Nope my bloodwork was scheduled for 11. The outpatient lab is out of network, the rest of the hospital is in network. Suppose to be the better of my two choices for transplant, having to go to an outside lab before every visit is going to get old fast. *not happy today*
My drive in to work this morning took me an hour and a half. It usually only takes ~25 min. We had a dusting of snow (at most an inch) and people were driving like lunatics. I live in Nebraska. Snow happens. It doesn't take me that long to get to work when there is a substantial amount of snow on the ground.
Parking on campus sucks. It was like -14* or something ridiculous yesterday, so I drove up campus to class. It took me a half hour to find a spot, and that is only because I *might* have driven like a bat out of hell when I saw someone backing out.
I'm also not feeling well and really want to go home to sleep. Alas, I have a ton of stuff to do at work. I really need another job . It doesn't help that I found out the lady who was recently hired into our group has not held a paying job in 13 years. Her computer skills are abysmal yet the hiring committee and the hiring manager did not think to question this during the process. She will flip her lid when she has to work in HTML for some of the communication portion of her job. She also makes 20% more than I do, so I am quite bitter and done with this job.

I overheard an awesome conversation at Bloc today. Girl is talking about seeing Zero Dark Thirty and how it took her to an "emotionally dark place" she's never been before and how she then went home a sobbed for 2 hours and she just had no idea and didn't know anyone directly affected by 9/11. Then she turns it into how the main character really needed closure and it made her think so much about being driven by something and analyze her feelings. She then immediately segues into "The way you talk about women makes me feel very uncomfortable". And says he tends to speak superficially and it makes her not want to text him. And then goes on and on about her feelings and realizations. The poor dude is just sitting there staring at her during this 30 minute monologue. It may have continued much longer than that, but I left after 30.
I want to go someplace warm, but all our travel savings is earmarked for a large 5th anniversary trip next spring, so we are trying to stick with that.
I came home from an appointment today and my garage door wouldn't close. I was *so* grateful at that moment to be a renter and not have to deal with it
Since I finished school and have yet to find a job, I've taken up couponing. I am not one of those crazy coupon people, but I save quite a bit. I went to CVS last week and got $40 worth of stuff for $9.83. Not bad
I got bloodwork results back from the doctor today (had a physical last week) and some of the results were not great. I'm pretty upset about it and processing what it means, and I know I should tell my DH but I may keep them to myself for a bit. We tell each other everything so I don't know why I feel like I shouldn't tell him this but I just don't feel like I can yet.
DH went to the RE today for a repeat SA after taking meds for a while. I really, really hope there are lots of sperm in it or we'll have to do IVF.
Good luck! We are dealing w/ the exact same thing right now. You should join us on the TTTC board.
I have a really bad sore throat and stayed home from work. I went back to sleep and kept dreaming that I was getting strangled. I also had a dream about someone who had a cheeseburger for teeth.
My niece dropped out of high school, which means she gives up her 100% scholarship to any state university of her choice. She told me she's going to get her GED and go to college this fall. But when I asked how she was going to get the money to do that she had no plans. She hasn't even filled out a FAFSA. She said the teachers were so strict that you know, they were ruining her life and everything.
I feel like everything I've done for her for the past 8 years has been a waste. She has her head shoved so far up her boyfriend's ass. They keep telling everybody that as long as they have each other, it's all they need.
I want to leave work and just go to her house and rage.

I'm so sorry, Pugz. I think it is totally okay for you to stay quiet for a little bit while you process. I hope you are doing okay.
thanks guys, I'm not sick or anything, but my labs came back that I am pre-diabetic. I can't really say I'm surprised. I was diagnosed with PCOS right before I got pregnant and then I lost lots of weight while pregnant so I haven't really had to deal with it yet. Lifestyle changes ahead and I want to think about them and make some plans myself before I talk to dh. I worry that he'll be worried and I want map out a plan for myself so when I tell him I can offer some reassurance.
I think I also will need to make an appt with a therapist, because every other time I've tried to deal with my eating issues or gone on some kind of program (like weight watchers) my anxiety level has shot through the roof and I've ended up feeling extremely depressed. It's a weird balancing act as it's all so connected.
I also found out my vitamin D levels were extremely low, which explains why I have felt borderline depressed the last couple of months. I knew something was up but didn't think it was PPD and I'm already on a shitload of zoloft but there was this lingering blah feeling following me around like a dark cloud. Hopefully fixing my D levels will help.
