Work is closed! Again! I was off today anyway- I have my 20 week OB appointment this morning, and my 20 week scan this afternoon. But this will save my sick leave.
I need a Broadway buddy. My h is not into enough to spend that much money on a ticket for him, and my sister would go, but she's a little tight on funds. I want to see Phantom of the Opera this weekend.

I still feel so badly about locking myself out of our apt last night (hidden in evening randoms). How the heck did I do that with my sleeping kid inside?? I was going to treat myself to a facial today, but those funds went to the emergency locksmith last night Schools are closed today so I think our neighbors' kids are going to come to our place for a bit so they can be on conf calls in peace in their apt.

It is warm today. There is still a decent amount of snow in our yard, but it is raining. So weird. Today Carter has a short day at school. I will workout and then go get him. The rest of the day will be relaxing so we can all get better from our colds.
Poor DD is having a hard time lately. I think she is having a hard time making friends that stick at her new school this year. She just seems lonely. This morning I sent a message to the mom of one of her friends from her old school to set up a play date. Hopefully we can get together and that will help her a bit.
I have an appointment with my RE over lunch today to discuss our failed IVF cycle and see what options we have.
I also think I have talked H into a vacation. We havent really done anything big in about 4-5 years and every year we keep saying we will go next year but something always comes up. I think we are just going to go for it. We have wanted to do Ireland and Scotland for awhile, I was thinking 10 days between the 2 but I dont know if 10 days is enough. I am also considering 7 days at one or the other but have no idea which one.
I hate winter for a lot of reasons but I really miss being able to get up and take a walk during the work day. We have a big walking path around our building and it was such a nice break to get away from the computer screen for a little bit. Since I work across from the mall I'll sometimes walk around there on my lunch breaks. But I get bored and shop and that is bad for my wallet.
OMG! Last night I had a dream I had a baby but I didn't tell my parents about the baby until she was 11 months old. I was like, "Yeeeeeaaaaah, we weren't sure if we were going to keep her." Lolololol! Also, she happened to look exactly like my cousin's baby.
I am having major back surgery in 8 days and I am freaking the fuck out (removing herniated discs and fusing 4 vertabrae with titanium screws and rods)
What if I don't wake up? What if they nick my spinal cord and I am paralyzed? What if I go through this surgery and it doesn't help?
I want to stay positive but this is some scary shit.

Good luck at your appt!
I'd do 10 days and do both! Why not? Orrrr do an Iceland layover and do one of them? I love the Iceland layover option!
dreamcrisp1 - I didnt know if 10 days between the 2 would be long enough, but Iceland sounds really fun! I didnt think of that.
OMG. I am going to lose it on my friend. I am MOH in her wedding and she keeps annoying her about her bridal shower. Before she was sending me links to places where she would love it hosted. Now shes started contacting the places directly and then forwarding me the responses. Her lastest venture is forwarding me the response from a place that will cost $1000 to host. Get over yourself.
I wish I lived close enough to be your Broadway buddy, Bernadine!
We are skipping our camping trip in the Rockies this year because I don't have enough vacation time. I'm sad about it! It's one of my happy places. Maybe we can go later in the year.

My aunt and friend just had this surgery each within the past 6 months. They were both walking within 3 days and my friend just started running again! I know, anecdotes, but you'll be ok! Hang in there, I would be scared too.
Also, I am so tired of explaining my name change to people. I'm trying not to be annoyed because I know people are just curious and the most common reason is marriage, but I just want to be left alone, lol. And it always goes the same way:
- Question about name change involving marriage - Answer of no, opposite (said brightly to assure them it's ok) - Awkward mumbling about how it's none of their business.
And I hate non-awkward small talk so this is like torture, lol.
I just had an argument with H on the train about our house renovation plan. It started with us sharing ideas nicely and constructively and ended with him saying "well, we're not doing a house reno then" and me saying between my teeth "Maybe we should just sell our house and buy two other houses".
We are not speaking. I don't think we will make it through the next 2-3 years without murdering each other (2-3 years because he refuses to just finance the whole thing on the mortgage and do it all at once, so it will be spread over time).
He texted me with "I think we need to get the bathroom done asap without worrying about the rest now".

I have been neglecting listening to new music, mostly because of time constraints. The same thing has happened to my walks. I am currently listening to new music and checking out what you all have been discussing recently.

School is closed again. I took Daisy for a walk and you can't cross at the corners because the snow is so deep. I wonder about school tomorrow. My finger still hurts making it difficult to do things with one hand.
I made a list of all the open houses for kitchen jobs in the downtown san diego area. I applied for 6 jobs before the sun came up. I printed out paperwork to bring to my job for underemployment. Now I get to enjoy the rest of my day. We're going to the San Diego Zoo!!
I have to brag about my DD. During the children's sermon, the children were asked who is the church. One girl said men and women/boys and girls. Right after, DD said. Transgender too. There were a few audible reactions in the pews. I was so proud of her.
I finished the whole Homeland series. Great cliffhanger for the next season. That show is wild!
We got a few inches of snow last night. It's so pretty outside!

No
Just no.
She can host herself.
She pretty much is but expects us to pay for it. She's not even registering for anything because she wants cash so I dont even know what the purpose of the shower is.

How much do you like her?
Sometimes a lot, but I have found myself rolling my eyes at her a lot during her wedding planning, or recently, just in general.
Example, I had been venting my frustrations that we were going to have to put together nearly $20k for ivf that we had not budgeted and she responded with that her FI will ONLY allow her to spend $6-$8k on her honeymoon and woe is her. She has just been in her on lalaland.

I'm so nervous for my Weight Watchers weigh in today. I know I did bad this weekend and completely know I did it to myself. I'm praying for a scale miracle.
