I just turned in my application for that cute little bakery job. I had an interview on the spot. It went SUPER well. So please send good thoughts and prayers my way, if you remember. I will find out either tomorrow or Friday! Let the waiting begin...
I am off work until 5PM tonight. Which means lots of cleaning and getting the house ready for FIL to come and eat dinner here on Thursday. I have a few errands to run as well!
I have so much to do today and tomorrow in preparation for our trip. Laundry, baking, and packing are the biggest priorities. First I am taking a nap.
Poor M has had a 103 fever for a few days now. I can get it down with ibuprofen, but once that wears off it spikes. Last night he was up half the night crying, so I just kept walking him around singing lullabies. This morning he seems much better, just fussy and tired. I sure hope that awful bug is gone.
amaranth I hope M feels better. If you need to alternate Tylenol and motrin give Tylenol then 3 hours later give motrin 3 hours after that give Tylenol ect. Getting something every 3 hours can help control temperatures better.
I was being so productive but am now sitting w folded laundry on my lap. All I need to do is put it away but I lost my motivation!
Our new HR volunteer showed up. She was early and my schedule has been packed this morning so I totally thought she was one of our employees.....ugh. No redo for that.

I have to change my diet again. Now instead of just being gluten free, I have to be carb free. My MD thinks I may be insulin resistant and wants to see if this helps my fertility. It isn't going to be a big change as I only eat carbs at breakfast but still the thought of even more restrictions is sad. On the upside, maybe I will lose a little weight.
Nothing much interesting going on here. H's birthday is next week and so far I have nothing for him. In April I got a Wii-U and called it a dual birthday present for both of us, but I feel like I should get...something. I'm not feeling very creative, though.

I am currently on hold with Target customer service trying to get the pH level of a lotion so I don't have to drive to the store to pick up a bottle. Lazy party of 1!
Do doctors judge you if your legs are hairy (among other things)? I know it's silly, but it's causing me some anxiety. I get dizzy in the shower and I'm not feeling like shaving. It's been weeks. Last time I shaved I took a big chunk out of my leg. Please someone reassure me. I feel like the answer to this is "just shave," but I really don't want to .
I don't mind if strangers point and stare or whatever, I just don't want a doctor to judge and treat me like shit for it.
Good luck travelbug! Already said a prayer will continue to pray for good news!
amaranth- ((hugs)) I hope M feels better soon. Poor guy
@moonbeam- Our anniversary is next week and then father's day. So not feeling creative so I feel you on that. Hope you think of something soon! And, if your doctor treats you differently for hairy legs then you need a new doctor! Shave or don't shave...shouldn't make a difference in your medical care.
C and I went for a walk this morning. We have no plans the rest of the day...we really should get out to do something...I need of the house and it's beautiful outside. Maybe I'll run us to the park, play for a little bit, and then run home (park is 1.3 mi away).
@moonbeam I'm fairly certain that if you're clean, they won't care a bit. Not all women shave so for all they know you're making a feminist statement or are European or something.
Please get a new doctor soon. It makes me sad that you get so nervous for your appointments. *hugs*. Maybe find a midwife and doctor collaborative practice. I had such warm, welcoming experiences at the ones I've been to. They really made me feel like a valued person.

I'm clean lol, just hairy.
The doctor I'm going to see tomorrow is new, at a different practice. I'm just nervous because of previous experiences with the old one.
Actually, I've had quite a few unpleasant experiences with doctors, unfortunately. When I was in grad school, I went to my school's health center to get a breast lump checked out. I had it checked while having a regular pelvic exam. Anyway, the nurse was sweet, but the doctor was not. He took one look at me and said "How can she have a lump, she's too young to have breasts." I was 23. I'm pretty sure 8-year-olds can have breasts. Did he mean to imply I was 4? I know I'm short, but WTF! Plus, if I was there, it meant I was a student at the university, so....
In any case, it was really unprofessional and rude of him. When he finally got around to checking my boob, then he was like, oh wow, that's a huge lump. It turned out to be a cyst, which he drained and is now fine (and I'm very glad about that). When I returned for my follow-up check a month later, he said "Are you really sure you're 23?" It's so invalidating.
@moonbeam wow, that's terrible! You'd think someone in a profession like that would know how to keep stupid comments to themselves!
I haven't been around much lately because I've been so stressed and I feel like all I do is complain. I've also been having really bad panic attacks again (I had horrible ones years ago where I could barely function until I got on medication). I'm on meds again but a lower dose. I'm debating upping my dose or weaning off the medication to see if that helps. Either way, I'm just not feeling like myself anymore. I hope I can figure this out soon!
((estrellita)) I'm sorry you're struggling. Please don't feel like you shouldn't post - I'm sure all of us would be happy to help. I hope things get easier for you soon.

I completely missed a training last week, I just got the follow up email being all "thanks for attending!" and I thought crap, I guess I never put that on my calendar. No, I did, somehow I just glossed over it
Thanks everyone! Work has been crazy, plus I'm not sleeping well between panic attacks and baby, then money issues on top of it all. I keep thinking things have to fall into place someday but they never really do
I'm waiting for DS's bath seat thing to be delivered. He spends his entire bath time lifting his butt and sliding down in his infant tub. Human babies clearly aren't born with survival instincts. Bed time is in 1.5 hours so UPS better hurry up!
estrellita ((hugs)) I had several panic attacks after I had W and I normally never get them because my meds control them so well. I think hormones screw everything up and upping my dose has helped manage the panic attacks again. Hope you start feeling better.
