I missed so much here. I was busy with work Monday and Tuesday and couldn't chat.
This weekend was crazy dealing with MIL. Yesterday I spent a long time on the phone trying to find her an emergency shelter, Section 8 housing, anything at this point. Apparently MH and MIL got into a huge fight because we didn't offer her to stay at our house. But, we knew if she moved in, she would never leave and our house isn't big enough to have us all under one roof and not want to kill each other (not really, you know, drive each other crazy). So now, because of her cancer diagnosis and her not being able to make it to the doctors, not pay rent or bills, etc., MH is applying for conservatorship for her. I guess she's intentionally igorning MH's phone calls, it's such a weird relationship.
The good thing is though that I've become friends with her cousin's daughter (MH's cousin?). We chatted yesterday since her mom speaks Polish, she's been an interpretor between us and her mom (her mom has been helping out with MIL offering a place for her to shower, etc). She can't take her in either because 1) she gave my MIL $1300 2) She has her mom who's bed-ridden staying there and 3) she'll know if she lets MIL move in, she'll never leave.
I know the first year of marriage is rough, but what this is really rough! I've been drinking a lot of wine.
I'm going to go buy some lavender shit, quit alcohol, increase exercise and eat well for a week. I want to see if those changes alone help my anxiety subside as it's been getting cray lately.
I also might stop by my favorite consignment shop for some cheapish clothing! Responsible retail therapy
Thanks guys, it helped a lot just venting here! Everything happened so fast on Friday and we're all still in shock. As horrible as this sounds, I'm thankful this happened in the summer and not the middle of the winter.
ironbaby, rainy day yoga sounds so lovely. I haven't been back to my studio in months now. I miss it yet can't get myself to go for some reason.
I was the same way. I just bit the bullet and made it happen last week after over 6 months of not going. It was tough, but it reinvigorated me, so I am looking forward to it this week.
youdontsay holy heck that's a lot to deal with. Thank goodness for wine. Hang in there!
mosdub I've been trying to do a lot of those things too...just trying to feel better about myself. I'm meeting a friend for drinks tonight, though. I'll count it as a win to stick to no more than 2.
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).

It's raining here too. I wanted to go on a bike ride tonight but probably not happening. We really wanted to go out to campus this weekend but it's move in weekend so I'm just going to avoid that side of town.

It's supposed to rain here too starting around noon. I have acupuncture after work. It always seems to storm when I am there. At least it makes my nap even better.
I got a promotion on Monday, and to celebrate, surprised MH w/ the new PS4 he's been lusting over. He has so far repaid me by not coming to bed... during FW. Humph.

Congrats on the promotion lgraceh! Why did HE get a pS4 for YOUR promotion? No judgment, just a question.
That being said, H recently got a Nintendo 3DS (a reward for a few kickass weeks of overtime) and I had to peel him away for the first 2 days. Good luck getting him away from his games!
youdontsay, I am so sorry for all the drama with your MIL. Hopefully it gets better soon. The first year of marriage is tough. But, it does make the easy years look like a cake walk.
Thanks @led, youdontsay,and ironbaby! Eh, I just thought it would be fun to surprise him like that. There isn't anything I'm really dying for to treat myself. Maybe I need a fancy haircut! We are splurging on a little overnight next weekend, so I will count that as our celebration. He usually isn't a HUGE gamer, so I'm hoping the novelty will wear off soon and he will at least come to bed like normal!
Congrats on the promotion lgraceh! We recently bought a PS4 as well. Even though we swore we wouldn't. Most of the games we're interested in aren't coming out for awhile yet anyway...
Someone posted a 'if you need a laugh' video on facebook and I don't find it very funny, rather I find it offensive (not necessarily offensive to me specifically, just in general).
Then a patron asked me "any baby news yet?" And I was like "huh?" Then she laughed about how she and some of the other patrons have a silly 'unofficial bet' going about 'when you're going to start popping out kids'.
So glad the state of my ute is that big of a deal for you guys.

I have had endless excuses to drink. Last night I drank solely because I was feeling anxious and I thought a buzz would help. That is a slippery slope I don't want to go down so I think I'll cool it for a while.
As for the bolded - H and I always try to make that our rule, but it's hard when you're with a friend and having fun!

That happened a lot at my job after we got married. After a while it died down because omg we weren't KTFU right after the wedding.
Or I would just change the subject when they asked me about getting pregnant.
