We need a little randoms!

Speaking of adulting, does it matter if one of us gets the auto loan vs. a joint loan? We both have good credit scores (though mine is higher by a few points, which gives me great joy for some reason), my salary is typically higher (H's varies from year to year). In the near future, we may want to buy a new house, if we can afford to move or whatever.

Sorry for everyone having a hard time today. wannabmama get yoself to a doctor!

For those of you doing gift exchanges, we use elfster in my family(and on gku!). Someone has to set it all up but then you get an email with your person and they can make the gift list online and you get emails when they add stuff.

DH and I did this last year. I wanted a joint loan in case anything ever happened to DH because I'm paranoid about all the legal stuff that has to be resolved after someone dies without a will. Unfortunately my credit is still destroyed from my second marriage so we had to go with putting just DH on the auto loan. He added me to the title as a transfer upon death and we had to put my personalized license plate into his name but I drive the car daily and hold the insurance on the car. I've been pulled over and had no problems as far as the name on the registration versus the name on the insurance. He's given permission to the loan and car companies to speak with me about the loan and repairs and maintenance on the car. I can't say whether this is a good arrangement or a bad arrangement for me but it's working for us.

badwolf, thanks! I filled out an application online with my credit union on my own (and there was no way my H would've been able to locate his member number). I'll have to figure out the title bit and we should also probably put a will together anyway. I need a break from adulting though.

What's for dinner? I'm getting takeout Mexican because lazy.

[bex15]

I think we'll build a fire and watch Scrooged tonight.

We had quesadillas because lazy. I think our tortillas tasted weird but Blake said they were fine. Meh.

[butlerfan]

Chicken pot pie for dinner.

Also doing the rearranging of furniture tonight since in laws took some and need things moved around. It looks funny right now

This sounds perfect!

Went to urgent care, they don't think my tailbone is broken, just a muscle tear...and there's nothing I can take bc of IVF, so I'm carrying a heating pad everywhere and just hoping it gets better quickly (I have a donut pillow too but it actually seems to make it worse). I cannot even believe this pain, I just hope I can sleep some tonight!
And...MH has chosen tonight to be sensitive about everything I say or do. His bedside manner could use a tune up...

[bex15]

That sounds awful wannabmama! I hope you're able to get some rest. When is your retrieval?

I'm a physical therapist and wanted to offer a few suggestions to help you feel better.

- sometimes ice helps more with a new injury because it makes blood flow away from the injury rather to it with heat. That's theory, but if heat feels better use it.

-- positioning nothing will make a pulled muscle worse so just find whatever positions work best for you.

-- pain from falls onto your bottom can take about a week to start to calm down.
When it feels good to do it you can try very gentle massage or stretching, but stay in pain free limits.

--If walking is painful in regards to bearing all your weight down through your legs crutches may help you off load your legs.


Hope some of that helps you. So sorry you're going through it.

[wannabmama]

Thanks @savgirl !!

Darn it. This is what lack of sleep due to throbbing boobs will get you. I'll start a new one with my happy penguin if it wasn't started already.
