Bleh, it's Sunday

[skategirl128]

It's a quiet day over here after such a long week! We slept in and now I'm kinda tackling my organizing projects. Mostly I'm on here though lol! We are off tomorrow so it's nice to have a quiet day today.

[nikiswimr]

After a BFFN for IUI #2 this am, MH is taking me to a mimosa brunch where I intend to overindulge and then shopping. What can I say, sometimes you just need to have a pity party.

[nikiswimr]

mellymel15 I hope you guys find something flattering and definitely enjoy that Bloody Mary after.

rslh10 I think your last nights dinner may be my dinner tonight. ((Hugs)) to you today.

[nikolie93]

holdingouthope a gift countdown sounds awesome! I'd surely fail at it though lol

nikiswimr I'm so sorry for the BFN *hug*

I go to Costco every, single, Sunday. We try to get there right at 10 when they open and it's really slow!

As for tagging names here, I kinda suck at it an may have misspelled nikiswimr 's name wrong

[mellymel15]

Update: Found a bridesmaids dress we are going to order and my sister pretty much announced to all the other girls that I could be pregnant around the time of the wedding. It was awkward.

I'm sorry honey! ((Hugs))

ldubhawksfan, book that massage!! That's one of life's greatest pleasures lol. I've been debating doing something similar with a spa I go to but don't feel like paying the annual fee.

mellymel15, I'm sorry, that is awkward.

nikiswimr, ((hugs)), that just sucks. Every now and then a pity party is exactly what's needed.

What a sweet husband! (Hugs)

[pickles4prez]

mellymel15 oh man, that would piss me off so much! Especially after a loss, ain't nobody gets to announce if/when I'll be pregnant. God bless family (I could totally see my sisrar saying the same thing without the slightest bit of awareness)

Was thinking about hitting Costco, seriously reconsidering after everyone's experiences! Maybe some much needed yard work, so many limbs in our front yard after a windstorm came through. Ughhhh, being productive

yorkielove83, I know how you feel. DH is a software engineer, so when he is with other friends who do the same thing, I have no earthly idea what they're talking about. Enchiladas sound yummy, though!

Enginerds are a special breed. (I am one too).

What kind of engineer are you?

We were supposed to have gone to my in-law's house for my FIL's bday, but both DH and I quickly realized we were both having one those very bad/sad days. And a lot of the reason for my sadness came from an insensitive text sent by my SIL last night, so my DH made the call that we were skipping it. I would have put on the brave face for him, but I gave him a huge hug for making that call.

We still have plans to have dinner over our best friends' house - they also have been through a loss so this feels so much "safer" in many ways. No brave face needed, no words of explanation needed. Just hugs and wine, and probably a lot of laughing through tears.

Unrelated, but holdingouthope - I just spent some time reading your blog and I just want to give you a big hug. So much of what you wrote felt like someone was expressing all my jumbled up feelings, and your efforts to take back your life are inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing so much of yourself.

nikiswimr ~ big (((hugs))), lady. I'm sorry.

Ann612 ~ (((Hugs))) and thank you

We ran some errands this morning.  Now we're watching football (Go Pack Go) and have chicken in the crock pot for supper tonight.

I did and she accidentally continued for 90 mins. I am floating on a cloud right now!

We are driving back from my parents house, on hour 1of 4. This weekend was my mom's birthday, so we took her out to dinner last night. I'm from a very small town, and MH doesn't love going there. We've already had one fight bc he's grumpy, but I anticipate more.

[mrspipp]

holdingouthope MHs 35th was on Monday! I'm in awe of your dedication to do a gift countdown

[nikiswimr]

ldubhawksfan MH used to be a chemical engineer (now in medicine).

mellymel15 total BS for anyone but you to talk about your reproductive plans.

Sooo... We skipped shopping and just kept on drinking Sunday afternoon or not. Currently sitting outside at a beergarden having a beer and watching Green Bay vs Seattle.

checking in late today...
It's been a pretty weird and stressful day.
One of our cats, who has been sick since September, unfortunately has been treating our bedroom like a litter box because she can't control it. But our other three cats, smelling her stuff, need to compete with their smells I guess and have started going in our bedroom as well.
So we closed off the bedroom today only to step in poop in the hallway.
I feel so bad for the sick one, but we left the house for a while after that because we were getting too stressed about the situation.
Her medicine just ran out and she is no better than she was before. So I guess it's back to vet and surgery potentially.
But, we spent the day grabbing random gear that we had forgotten for our bike trip and then spent the afternoon mock packing to see how things would fit.
Awkwardly, they fit awkwardly! Oh well.

[mrspipp]

menrandes so sorry about your sick kitty. Did the vet have any advice when you brought her in before?

Not really.  A little gross talk ahead....

Her colon is dilated, so her digestive system doesn't work the way it is supposed to.  She was on very intense medicine to counteract that, and it had one refill.  Now she is out of the medicine and not any better. 
The vet said she might need surgery if it didn't work to remove part of her colon.  But that might turn into a quality of life issue, but she's only 4.  I just don't know what we are going to do at this point.  

[mellymel15]

Thinking of you and sending hugs, rslh10.

menrandes, hope your cat feels better soon. My dog was sick and pukey last week. I felt so bad for her.
