I am so scared! I know I will feel better though. I want them to sedate me for everything.
Novocain is amazing. Just tell them you are nervous. Dentists tend to understand that there is a lot of fear there. Just be up front about your expectations about your care, and if their view doesn't jive with that, find a new dentist.
Can I get that for a cleaning? I just set up a consultation to meet the dentist to talk about what I need done. If I don't feel comfortable with him I will have to find a new one.
Random: My Grandma went into hospice care last night. We are not sure how much longer she is going to live. She turns 80 on Thursday.
Flameful: DH, DD, and I are going down the shore for 3 days at the end of next week. I really hope that if she does die, it doesn't interfere with these plans.
Confession: I'm driving up to see Grandma right after work today, which means I likely won't be home before DD goes to bed. That makes me sad. But DH has never had to put DD to sleep without any help from me (I usually nurse her to sleep), so I know it will be good for the both of them to spend some time together without me.
My OB told me 2 years if you don't have HPV. When they wouldn't renew my anti-anxiety meds because I hadn't been in for over a year I called and told the nurse what that doctor told me. The nurse said I still had to come in for a breast exam and overall vag exam
The "every two years" is for the pap smear, not for the annual pelvic exam.
Yes, the pelvic exam. The doctor said "oh, due to your test results you'll only have to come in every other year after you have the baby!". I took that as meaning I'd only have to come in every other year, lol. Clearly there was a miscommunication somewhere.
I follow a few HS friends' blogs, and lately they've both started taking every sponsorship that's come their way. It's annoying. No, I do NOT want anti-virus softwear, Shout sticks, or Breyers ice cream. I'd quit reading, but in between the advertising posts, I genuinely like their content.
I'm so fucking over this heat. I moved to the north expecting for 100 degree days to be the rarity, not the rule during the summer.
I printed out Haggis's New Yorker article on Scientology (42 pages!) so that I can read it at work and look like I'm actually reading something work-related.
I'm WAY too fascinated by all of this Scientology stuff since the Tom & Katie divorce announcement.
I don't think he'll try for sex Saturday- I'd be surprised if he did. He's kind of shy and seems a little conservative. He's basically the complete opposite of xh.

I did. In fact, my dentist did my cleaning over four appointments (he did a quadrant of my mouth each time) because of my fear, and my bad gag reflex. I got novocaine for EVERYTHING. It was awesome! I was lucky that I found a dentist who was so in line with my needs so easily, and he's just a few blocks walk away from my house. He didn't give me guilt trips about anything, either. Just said, "Ok, this is what we need to fix, and this is how we're going to do it."
Find a dentist you like. The more you like them, the more comfortable you will be while you get work done.
I've been putting off telling my sister I am pregnant.
She is getting the results of her 2nd IVF today and my dreamland way of telling her was for her to get a positive beta and me just kinda slipping it in there "yay, we will be pregnant at the same time"
I am terrified that she won't get a positive test. For her obviously and then for me to have to be the asshole to tell her that I am.
When I thought of this grand scheme, it never even occured to me that it would be bad news. DH told me I should just tell her and I kept putting it off.
I feel like a dick. And an asshole.
***please be good news***
Fingers crossed for your sister! How far along are you?

Yes, this. They still do breast exams, pelvic exams, STD testing if needed, etc.

you are not a dick or an asshole. You are a caring sister. Hope your sister gets good news, but don't be afraid to tell her.
They just sent out an email at work that we get to leave at 2 today ::fist pump::
I also just found out that I have a 5 week trial coming up and I will have to be OOT Sunday night thru Thursday night for 5 weeks. This sucks. :-( Not only will I miss seeing my LO but it will severely limit my GBCN time.
Another random: An ex-boyfriend of mine is going to start living his life as a woman. I found out through FB (we had a good relationship even after we broke up, so we're friends on there, too). I'm so glad he's doing what makes him happy, but I can't help but feel a little weird about it. I never saw any signs that he felt this way (although it was 10 years ago).

I've been obsessed with buying plants lately. Every time I go somewhere with a garden center I buy a few pots and a few plants. I'm going to be one of those weirdos that completely fill their house with potted plants so that it looks like a jungle when you go inside. This is in addition to the fact that I am already a crazy cat lady.

Hoping for good news for your sister so you can celebrate together. Def not a dickish move to wait and I bet she will totally understand

This makes me feel better, thanks. I really hope I like this dentist. I was looking at places that I thought I would feel comfortable with and reading profiles on the dentists and none of them were covered by our insurance.
I just plugged my curling iron in at my desk, and I plan to gussy up with my door open.
I bought a fedora that I really love, but I feel like too much of a douchebag to actually wear it. It just hangs out on my dresser. I am scared to wear a fedora.
I'm ticked off at one of my BFFs, but I refuse to mention it. He really encouraged me to go out for this show, and he spent months talking about how he couldn't wait to see me in it, etc. He just booked a vacation. For the entire run. I know I'm being a selfish twat about this. I'm just sad b/c he promised!

i have a straw fedora that i bought at target. L has a straw fedora too (i got it at crazy 8). this weekend, we wore them out together to go get breakfast at a place where the waitstaff is at least 102993x cooler than i am.
i was also worried that i'd look like a dbag (i'd previously only worn it to the beach/pool--they're great for laying around reading, i discovered, becuase of the rolled up/flat brim at the back). perhaps i did, but i felt like fabulous fabulous bear and everyone smiled at us.
Got my period a day early. Going on month 9 of no ttc success and I'm getting really depressed by it.
-i don't feel like i have anyone to talk to about it. -our insurance doesn't cover any infertility diagnosis or treatments (didn't expect it to, but still sucks). -I'm convinced it's my fault. (hello overreaction)
I have a serious case of fedora insecurity. I send no less than 5 people a pic of me in it before i bought it, and I'm STILL too scared to actually wear it. Maybe tomorrow is the day. Black and white polka dot bikina under black halter dress. Red Wedges. Straw fedora with black ribbon thingie.
Ugh. It sounds pretentious. The mere idea of it gives me hives!

wear it. you can always take it off. put your hair in a low ponytail so that it doesn't look jacked if you take off the hat.
DO IT.
ETA: i will confess that i was similarly scared. and that i only bought the fedora when i was high on vicodin after i got my wisdom teeth removed.
DO IT! I just had a bunch of work done in the last six months because it had been so long since I had been. I feel SO much better about my teeth, my smile, and just my overall health.
Sad: I went to visit my MIL's best friend and neighbor who has stage IV breast cancer. Things don't look good.
Worried: my boss is going to have a heart attack when he finds out I'm trying to abandon ship. All kinds of staff stuff keep happening around here.
Flameful: had a chat with old platonic flame last night. It's nice to reinforce my happiness in real life against a dream of what could have been and still choose my current life.
Happy: my house is getting cleaned as we speak. My son and husband are making me so happy as always but I'm enjoying it more lately.

My mommy told me it was cute. That was the same day she bought me a hoodie with a whale on it.
I'm impatient overall and I just want someone to just tell me what's up with just a snap of their fingers. we are researching prices so dh can get tested and even that is a struggle...where to go, which place would be the most cost effective, etc. etc.
last year our city had it's 1st fireworks display and it was amazing, couldn't wait again for this years....however Joe Biden had decided he's going to hijack the event because he happens to be "in town" so tonight if you actually think you'll get close to the square (where the fireworks will be going off) you'll be met w/secret service agents and check points

Im sorry, trouble TTC absolutely sucks balls. Will insurance cover any basic testing like a semen analysis or a hysteroscopy?
