- A Place to Put Your Tuesday Thoughts -

[mosdub]

Hey M17!  What are you ladies up to today? 

What's for breakfast?  Looking forward to something good? 

[ladytiffany24]

I'm at work. I have to drive to our Downtown office in a little bit and I hate it. The traffic is always awful and there's a crap ton of construction. Ugh.

I'm eating a banana for breakfast. It's definitely not hitting the spot.

Also, I teared up this morning watching a video on youtube that wouldn't really make a non-hormonal person cry. Pregnancy hormones are a bitch.

[jillywilly]

Today is our seven year date-aversary. I totally forgot until I got to work and saw the date on my calendar. Our super romantic plans tonight will include trying to coerce our child into eating the stroganoff I have going in the crock pot, and probably passing out watching House on the couch. But, it still feels nice that we've made it seven years

[mosdub]

jillywilly happy date-aversary !

ladytiffany24 I bought decaf chai mix to take camping this past weekend and we forgot to pack it - which made me almost cry I was so mad about it. Definitely not a normal response haha. Thanks hormones.

[amandamh2]

Breakfast does not sound good right now. I'll eat something because I have to but food doesn't become at all enjoyable until about 8 pm... at which point I try to make up for a day of barely eating!

[mosdub]

I am at the same lab I went to to monitor my hcg drops after my partial molar pregnancy. I came here for about a year. This is my first time getting my hcg checked for a potential viable pregnancy.

Should get my results in a couple hours. I wasn't nervous but it's starting to settle in...

[mosdub]

Sorry for the bad sleep ugaqueencity hope you're able to power through today!

[amandamh2]

Totally feel you on the pregnancy hormones ladytiffany24! Everything is a big deal.
Happy date-aversary jillywilly! This year made 7 years for us too
Hope you can fit your nap in ugaqueencity.
Thinking of you mosdub,

Happy date-aversary jillywilly!

Thinking of you today mosdub. All the good thoughts for a great result.

Sorry about the crummy night ugaqueencity.

Heading to the allergist in a few minutes. I had a reaction to walnuts a few weeks ago where my throat started to swell. My OB wanted to me to get tested for a tree nut allergy, so here I am. Not looking forward to it, but I will feel better about knowing either way after today.

[caer]

I'm waiting for the cable guy this morning and trying to keep my toddler from destroying the house in the meantime. FX he gets here in a timely manner.

[ladytiffany24]

Good luck mosdub!

Waiting for the cable guy is the WORST caer!

Thinking of you mosdub!

[caer]

I hope you have a great first "real" day renegadewhit!

Good luck at the allergist elissamarie. Update us if you can!

[moutonrouge]

Good luck mosdub!

The electrician is here, so I'm WAH today.

Walking the dog this morning, there was a loose dog that chased us all the way home. This is the second encounter with a stray dog in a week, and I'm not handling it super well. The first one resulted in a fight and I got bit, this one...I'm not sure if the dog was friendly or just very interested in my dog or what, but he was stalking us while my dog threw a fit. I called animal control but haven't seen the result of that yet - I lost sight of the dog about 30 min after we got home, and that was over an hour ago. So probably nothing will happen since I don't think they ever came out to pick him up. I would like to cry but I don't think I should while they're working upstairs.

I'm on the train on my way downtown. I stopped in this morning for beta #4. So nervous! Also nervous about my progesterone levels, which I'll also get around 2 pm. I'm going to lunch with a friend so hopefully that will distract me for a bit.

[glb30]

moutonrouge wow! That's scary!!! Stray anything scares me. We had a KITTEN in our backyard, and I was super freaked!

jillywilly happy date anniversary! (Auto correct is not letting me spell it like you did!)

amandamh2 I'm struggling trying to get myself to eat breakfast too. Lunch is my big meal though....I'm so hungry around 12.

mosdub good luck!! I had my HCG taken today too...fingers crossed for both of us.

renegadewhit I hope you enjoy today!!! mm! Avocados.

[mosdub]

moutonrouge that's scary! Which dog bit you? Yours or the other one? WHO IS LETTING THEIR DOG OUT WITHOUT A LEASH?! Or do you think they are strays? Either way, it sucks and I'm sorry. I hope animal control is able to capture them and hopefully find them a place to live safely.

[mosdub]

good luck glb30! Hoping for good results

The other one - in that case, we were walking by a house and the dog ran through it's screen door, jumped it's fence, and went for me. My dog intervened and the other owner came out to help. 

Today's dog I'm sure got loose of it's yard - people think they can't go over the fence, but they can. I saw a neighbor outside (she has a dog like mine so we're friendly) but she shouted that she's afraid of that dog and ran in her house, so she was no help. My next-door neighbor says this dog is wandering around "all the time" (we just moved in 3 months ago, so that's possible). But it just makes me feel like I can't walk the dog safely if this is the case. 

When I'm by myself, it's mostly fine - I feel I can get away easier (and I have in 2 other cases). But my dog wants at any approaching dog, so it becomes a big thing. And I don't feel like I can hide in a neighbor's fence when I have my dog with me.

Holy crap about the screen door thing.  Hulk dog.  Apparently they need to put some boards up on the bottom of their screen door.

You shouldn't have to be scared of a stray dog every time you go outside.  What if a little kid is wandering around playing?  This could be horrible!  I don't know what else you can do, but maybe if you get your neighbors to call and report it something will be done   

[moutonrouge]

mosdub, the neighbors have reported it before. The owner hides the dog/claims not to own a dog, and nothing can really be done - it's what he did last week. Animal control doesn't have the staff to do like a sting operation. But that's my concern too - there's lots of kids around, what if they encounter these dogs. I dunno - DH will probably get worked up enough to call our councilman, maybe that would help.

[muskiefan]

Happy date-aversary jillywilly
I hate traffic ladytiffany24 75 and 71 always have down here construction. Yuck.
mosdub fx for you. Sorry you have to deal with all of those emotions
caer I hate waiting on appointments like that! Hopefully he's quick!
renegadewhit have a good day!
Fearsy that's understandable. Hopefully she's napping for you now.
Good luck on the beta today glb30
Sounds like Liv likes VBS @justinslovo
moutonrouge that's freaking scary! Sounds like that guy is nuts.

[muskiefan]

Today is moving soooo slooooowly. Tomorrow morning is my u/s. I'm so nervous.

[mikaela20]

I am struggling this morning. Working through my nauseous feels like torture. I only have one sick day left for the year.

I feel like pre-mat leave needs to be a thing one day

[jnow]

Good luck mosdub

[jnow]

Trying to work (I wfh) and pack for our trip to the beach next week.

And I'm trying to tell myself that running is hard because of the weather. Not bc I'm ku.

[meggypoo1]

I got yelled at through our IT inbox so the entire department knows. Cool.
Talking to notarealdoctor and DD this morning on Skype made me feel better though!

[kaits8]

Good luck mosdub!

I had leftover chicken chimichangas with chips and salsa for breakfast so...that was good.

Now I'm doing some work while I wait for DD to wake up so we can run some errands. I woke up this morning, looked in the mirror and thought "where did this blump come from!?". It could very well be the Mexican food we ate last night..only time will tell.

[elissamarie]

I am done at the allergist. I had a positive reaction to walnuts, but nothing else. I will have to start carrying an epipen.
