I am with you, BabyStandish, if I could take today off adulting, that would be great.
I just got notice that my 3-4 month project that has been helping tide me over while I get the firm going is actually wrapping up this week or next (that is just barely 6 weeks of work), so that is a major bummer and I am super stressed now about how to bring in some $ quick. I also just loved doing the work that I was doing, it was so up my alley, so that was a shitty way to start the day.
I just noticed that I leveled up to Amethyst here, tho, so I guess that's something, ha!
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
I didn't sleep well, and I just feeling super triggered by everything today. I'm just kinda overwhelmed with sadness for myself, for the bullshit my friends have to go through, for the bad shit in the world (that Brock Turner case is up there).
I think I need a do-over. Coffee is not going to cut it today.

I'm sorry for the rough start ironbaby and wannabmama. If it was up to me I'd allow re-do's, but instead I'll just leave you with this because it made me laugh
wannabmama, ugh, sorry for the bad news on the work front. Starting out on your own is scary and stressful (which is why a lot of people, including myself, don't do it) but you were brave enough to take the leap and I know that things will come through for you and it will pay off in the end. Hang in there!
ironbaby, sorry you're having a rough day today. Hugs.

Add me to the list of people not wanting to adult! It is rainy here and I am feeling blah.
The guys were supposed to come out yesterday to do the patio. No show, no answer yet as to why. I am getting pissed. They started a month ago. I really wish they hadn't started at all so we could just back out. But because they've already started it is just too messy. Ugh. This is the worst. And if they don't finish by the 14th our hot tub delivery will have to be pushed back to HALLOWEEN.
TheEleventhHour, that's bullshit. Does your GC know the 14th deadline? I don't know what recourse you have, but I'd start complaining until something happens.

Thanks! I needed a peptalk! I am trying to remind myself that it will not happen overnight and that is why we saved money, to survive for a few months until things happen, but I hate having to dip into it so much sooner than I was hoping. I get nervous and want to give up and go back to steady paycheck, but I know that I'll be annoyed with myself if I don't give it a real try...this life is SO MUCH better than my last job, I just have to figure out the formula to make it work.

Hugs to everyone having shitty mornings. I hope your day gets better ironbaby, and your patio situation gets resolved TheEleventhHour.
I woke up at 4:30 for some reason so now I feel crummy. Add me to the not wanting to adult list. H decided that he wants us to go up to NY this weekend to visit his family, so I have tons of shit to get done in the next couple of days. Yay for a 12 hr drive to visit people I don't especially like. At least there will be plenty of alcohol involved.
I made like TWO decisions yesterday and am finally ordering a dining set for the deck and a recliner for the bedroom.
I was telling H that we really need to stop spending money and he tells me he just spent more money to buy me a present. He won't tell me any more about it but he knows I cannot resist a present.
TheEleventhHour, that really sucks. Would it be a huge pain to look for someone else to finish the work? How much did they get done so far and how much have you paid them towards the work? You might get lucky and find someone that could finish the job in time for the hot tub delivery, even if you're going to miss that deadline anyway you might be better off finding a new installer. Finding contractors is such a pain though, I would totally understand not wanting to deal with it again. Sorry!

H will probably be in a good mood the rest of this week because he bought a really nice pipe on Craigslist that's worth $150 for just $15, and it is carved into Abraham Lincoln's face. It's currently staring at me tho.

ironbaby, I'm sorry for the rough day so far I hope some nice little distractions come up to help take your mind off the hard things. TheEleventhHour that is so beyond annoying when it affects other deliveries and things getting done. You have my permission to annoy them until it's done. PirateCat haha we can totally relate to that too with the spending. I went to Ikea this weekend and I was proud for only getting $30 worth of stuff for our house. (pats self on back)
Morning!! Hugs to everyone who needs them today. It's gloomy and yucky here today too. I got blindsided by a FB pregnancy announcement late last night that really got to me for various reasons, so I woke up cranky.
On the upside, I met a HUGE Stella & Dot goal (while I was sleeping) last night and woke up to the email that I earned an amazing delicate initial necklace that is 14K gold and certified conflict free diamonds. Yayyyy shiny things!! I have been busting my a$$ to earn that necklace!!
I need to stop by Target today to get my thyroid meds. It's always a dangerous trip. Must not buy everything!
Its a vortex. Bad things happen every time I go there...
Yeah, I'm not sure what I was thinking when I choose their pharmacy. I do need a couple things so it'll be nice knocking it all out. But the temptation will be real.
