I'm trying to decide how long I'm going to give my BCP until I go back to the doctor and try to adjust. I'm on my 4th pack and still breakthrough bleeding. The same thing happened in college and I went on a triphasic pill and it took care of it. I gave it 2-3 months back then, but it was super easy to get an appointment at student health. My doctor's lead time is crazy and I probably won't get in before my November appointment. It's really annoying.
I only have two days of work this week (going on vacation) and I cannot get it up to work.
We went out to dinner on Saturday night with a group of 12 total, 10 of whom had ridden their bicycles 100 miles that day. I should've known things were going to be bad when we get there and are told that they are out of all appetizers except 1, they can only do one salad, but don't have all the ingredients, no soup because it's too hot, and no Veal (it was an Italian restaurant). After TWO HOURS when we still had no food and the owner came over to tell us it was going to be longer still, I lost my shit. Not one of my finer moments, but I was pissed. We ended up walking out and getting pizza on the Boardwalk.
I'm not in the mood to work today. I've been here 2 hours and the only thing I've done is read some emails. Meh.
I had to get up super early to get to my RE before work today.
We had a great weekend, DS seems to be past his super miserable/cranky phrase. We measured him yesterday and he has grown 2 inches since his 15 month apt a month ago which probably explains his moods the past few weeks. H was at a bachelor party all day Saturday so I went out with some mom friends of mine who I ment on maternity leave and their kids. We took them to this park that was having some sort of festival and then we all went out to all you can eat sushi. I think DS ate more food than anyone else there, adults included. Yesterday we went to a local farmers market and there is a children's garden where they have it (which is really similar to the outdoor space at his preschool), DS had a blast. Being outdoors really is his happy place. We send him to a Reggio preschool (which is all natural/outdoorsy stuff) but the director of his preschool is opening a Nature preschool next fall and we are considering sending him there if we can afford it.

Are you on a triphasic now? Is the breakthrough early in the cycle or later?
Ugh I made a new mom friend who is awesome, lives down the street and has kids close in age to ours . BUT I recently found out her husbands job is an appointed position and I STRONGLY disagree with his political views

Currently monophasic. It's always in the third week.
My parents came to visit for the weekend, and we had a lot of fun. They got her mid-day Thursday and they are at the airport to leave right now. They are actually flying to Paris, which I am super jealous about. It was a better deal for them to fly directly from here than from their home airport so they scheduled the trip immediately after our visit.
We did a ton of stuff this weekend, including an aquarium, baseball game, boat ride, brunch, walking around to see some local attractions, touring the Naval Academy, and out to dinner a couple of times. It was not a cheap weekend but we had a lot of fun. I'm lucky my parents are so fun to hang out with.
I am not glad they are gone, but I am glad we'll be back to normal tonight. I need to catch up on laundry and buy groceries and maybe relax a bit. We were pretty go-go-go for the 4 day weekend and I'm used to having more relaxing time built in.

Can you message your provider? Since it’s always at the same time, it’s likely she would be able to change your prescription without having to see her.

That's a good idea! I know I can for my PCP, but I will see if I can for my gyn. Thanks for the suggestion!
My kids start their new swim team tonight. Practice is 5 days a week from 5:30-6:30. Thankfully it is in our town, unlike our old team where we would have to drive them a half hour each way.
I really hope they like the new team because this shit isn't cheap.
They are starting the demo on our basement playroom today so we can do a full renovation - I’m excited!! But then it’s going to sit for a few weeks because the next step is radiant heat and the plumbers can’t come until mid October. They have to work around s bunch of cords/wires that power our tv and electronics (housed in the room above). We clearly marked them so hopefully the demo guys follow our signs or else our kids will be deeply unhappy with no tv for a while lol
I worked out this morning and I’m at Starbucks right now having breakfast. I did something to my shoulder. It really fucking hurts. It’s my scapula area and it hurts to turn and move in certain directions. I think it’s muscular, but damn it hurts. I took some Aleve hopefully it will kick in soon. Thankfully I have a chiropractor/pt appointment this afternoon.

I'm at (what I hope is) the tail-end of an illness. I'm still coughing and feel generally exhausted, and poor DD2 got hit with it BAD last night
Because of that, I had severe insomnia last night and got maaaaaybe three hours of sleep, total? I was up for the day at 3:30 this morning, and it's currently 10:15 so I'm struggling to keep my eyes open.
I booked a dark conference room at noon for 45 minutes in hopes I can take nap. I've taken a quick cat nap on a WFH day before but NEVER at the office. I'm afraid I'll fall asleep at my desk otherwise.
Emmys fashion was awful. I don't know if it was the tragic carpet/backdrop combo or the lighting or what but everyone looked like they put on their make-up in the car and got their dresses on clearance at JC Penney.
I thought I might have had my water break last night so I spent two hours at L&D. Nope. Home again. Now I am sad.
God dammit. Come on, baby!
I finally saw Hamilton last night and only cried twice. Proud of myself. lol
Seriously she’s been dropping so much my stomach looks so different from how it did two days ago. She just won’t leave. I was having contractions every 1-2 minutes but they were too mild and I’m only 2cm. So here I sit at home. Sad.
Super busy week all around. Tonight soccer, tomorrow back to school, Thursday volunteering with the PTA, and finishing our end of year at work. I'm exhausted just trying to get it all in.
I slept like crap last night, I think because I got cold. I need to add another blanket to my side now that temps are dropping at night.
I am home sick with a cold today. I didn't have anything on my calendar so I decided to take the day off and hopefully rest.
My sister and niece come into town on Thursday and I am SO excited. I am spending the day trying to get ready for their visit. It is also my birthday this weekend so I don't want to do any actual work while they are here. :-)
I have to do a writing assessment at noon for a job I applied for. I already interviewed, now a writing assessment, then they are asking our supervisors for an assessment. I don't like this process.

I've decided to quit forcing my hair to be straight through blow drying and flat ironing. Even with all the straightening tools and products it didn't want to cooperate. I'm trying to embrace the crazy waves and curls, but I'm just not sure! I like things neat and orderly, including my hair ha!

followyourarrow, you just wait. Someone is going to ask you, "Oh, is that your natural curl/wave?" and when you sheepishly answer, "Oh yes," they'll pile it on with compliments. The world is full of grass-is-always-greener folks who don't even know what it's like to have hair that probably calls psychic hotlines for advice while you sleep and books flights to Hawaii with your credit card.

I embraced the curl a long time ago, and kind of prefer when my hair is not too neat and orderly. My hair is pretty short now, and I style it by purposely messing it up and steering it in the general direction that I like.
I call it my " choose its own adventure " hair, and let it take the compliments or the blame and get the weird looks. It isn't my fault. lol
I got called into work Thursday night till pretty late (didn't get home until 2am) but fortunately they were able to give me Friday off. I ended up getting called in Saturday for 5 hours and twice on Sunday, the first time at 7am-1pm, the last time not getting home until 1am. My sleep has been so choppy I'm just exhausted, although I feel like at this point I should have had enough total hours of sleep. They let me stay home today too which is awesome... although I weirdly feel guilty for a 4 day weekend. Even though I spent so much time at work this weekend! Anyway, it's noon and I'm still in bed cuddling with the dog. He woke me up at 6am, then I fell back asleep for about an hour and woke up in time to get DS off to school. He and DH overslept so good thing I was home actually. Then I fell back asleep for a couple more hours. I have zero motivation to drag my butt out of bed at all today.
I took the leftover green bean and corn succotash from Saturday and scrambled it with some eggs, then topped the whole thing with chimichurri. It's quite tasty. I think garlic, shallots, and chimichurri can make just about anything taste good.
I'm kicking myself for forgetting my Kindle this morning. I can read on my phone, but it's not as enjoyable. I started The Testaments last night and am enjoying it so far, but I'm having a bit of a hard time keeping up with who the various narrators are. I think the chapter headings are the same for each person as it changes, but I need to go back and look to see if that's right.
I'm having one of those days where I feel like I need to eat all of the things and I'm kind of annoyed by it.
Something is messed up in my back, and I have a lateral pelvic tilt, where it looks like one leg is longer than the other, and my hips are not aligned with my shoulders. I wish I knew which of the 10,000 chiropractors around here were good, because I need one.
It was much worse yesterday....I was in a lot of pain. I got a massage before we went to a tequila seminar/tasting (that we had paid for months ago) at Epcot, and the massage at least helped with the pain since it loosened things up a bit. The tequila didn't hurt. lol We really enjoyed the tasting and learned a lot about tequila.
Today I have been trying different stretches, and it is only half as bad as it was yesterday. I am hoping that I can magically manage to fix it with more stretches this afternoon. Thankfully I have a high pain threshold and there isn't much pain today, so I will just keep on stretching off and on.

I gave up my straightening habit 2 years ago and it's the beeeeeest! I am also a "neat and orderly" person and it took some getting used to. I will occasionally blow dry my hair if I need to look nice for whatever, but it’s the exception for sure.
I had to speak to the principal today regarding K. On thursday, an older girl (5th or 6th grade) pulled her down from the monkey bars and she hit her forearm on the platform. It could have been worse. But, then this girl and her friends would not let K go tell the teacher. I am so angry. In addition, she is having a real issue with friends and kids not wanting to play with her. She tells me she feels stupid and even that she does not want to live. You guys, my heart. The school will be doing what it can on their about the older girl and helping k in her class and just building her up. But the rest just hurts. I want to make things better for her. I want to make things better at home. ugh
