Sigh, the one downside to using all your time is you're screwed when you go back to work if you or a kid gets sick..
It's pretty standard practice here in NY. It does suck going back with no PTO, that is for sure. I went back in February after DD was born and had to make it all the way through June not taking any time off. That was tough.
Not for all of us... there is a leave donation program but you have to ask to be put in and it depends on people being willing to give their time directly to you instead of in a bank.

Forgot you were also in NY. Hmmmm. I've never known a district that doesn't offer this and I've been in three now. That's too bad your district doesn't offer this, it's a pretty good perk. I can see how the donation option could go both ways for sure.

I'm a state employee, but not a teacher. I work for one of the state agencies. Maybe it's just a teacher thing in the state?
I figured I mentioned that I'm a state employee enough that I forgot to mention it this time around. I'll bow out now..

Duh. I also knew you weren't a teacher. My brain is totally busted right now. Maybe just ignore me, lol.
Is the giraffe still pregnant?? Did they get the due date wrong?
Still pregnant I think! I know with horses they can deliver pretty regularly within a month time frame so maybe giraffes are similar? I think she was acting like she was going into labor so they started the watch. Meanwhile she's all...it's BH everyone, chill!! 😂
Random: Just watched the season finale of This Is Us. It always hurts my head in shows and movies when people look at or add to a photo album and none of the photos are in chronological order or any kind of order. People don't really keep hodge podge albums do they?

I'm here, I had a very rough day. My anxiety is through the roof and I have no clue why. My BP was high but the same as it has been for 3 weeks. My palms were sweating during the entire ultrasound and I just felt off all day. 😞😞😞

Oh no! Are you taking it easy? My anxiety comes on for no discernible reason. Hope you can relax. Make your H give you a foot massage and run you a bubble bath.

I'm trying to relax but nothing is helping. I really don't understand it. I asked H for a back rub and he said no. Maybe I should see if I can get in for a massage on Friday.

Massage would be good. Do you have a coloring book? I also use a few meditation apps to focus on my breathing. It's good to put in headphones and tune everything out (as best you can).

I think that's a smart idea. I'm laying in bed just browsing my phone. I think I will take my dog out, take out my contacts and grab my headphones.

Thanks love. I saw the midwife today and really wish I saw the nurse. I like her better. She usually has some sympathy and suggestions for my SPD. My midwife just suggested the pregnancy belt again. This time her recommendation was "lay down when you put it on" yeah okay, I sit at work, this sounds terrible. I think I'm going to do some kinesiology taping soon.

I hope you have days off coming up soon and you can maximize relaxing as much as you can. I hate when I have to meet with the people at my practices I don't like, it ruins the whole interaction.

onesweetworld, I'm sorry about the anxiety. I can't believe your DH said no to the backrub. I hope he doesn't want anything in the future. I've tried guided meditation videos on youtube too. They've helped me sleep and when I'm super angsty. Hugs.

I am taking Friday off since I WFH yesterday. I really want to get taped Friday but I have my maternity photos rescheduled for next Tuesday. I'm going to get my nails filled Friday. Maybe I'll see if she can do my maternity photos earlier in the day on Tuesday and I can schedule a prenatal massage with kinesio taping or just taping afterwards.

He just keeps saying "relax". No dude, you relax. I'm trying not to go into preterm labor.

I don't know how you don't kick him. I'm guessing he just doesn't understand anxiety at all.

That sounds good and even just the knowing that some relief is coming will help ease the stress a bit. And getting nails done always makes me feel better. The maternity photos sound so fun, too!!

He doesn't understand anything at all. I text him when I was at the doctors that I didn't feel good and was worried how high my BP would be. His response was relax. Then he called me at work 5 hours later flipping out how I didn't have time to print tax stuff. Dude I feel like shit and I'm trying to get my work done after being out of the office due to a storm. I'm seriously so over him.
