I'm here. Unwillingly. It snowed last night and the roads are all icy, so H drove me to work since my car does not handle ice well.
Now I'm stuck here until he gets off work. Depending on how clear the sidewalks are by lunch I'll probably walk down to the grocery store to get something for lunch.

I ordered textbooks after completely forgetting about it until yesterday. That was $250 I totally didn't budget for. Bleh. But I was able to rent a textbook onto my Kindle, which is pretty cool. DNW to lug around bricks.
Hi all! I'm here, just plugging through Monday. I'm trying to work up the motivation to walk the dog. It's 25*F here with a windchill of 12. I know I need to do this, but I'm cold already! The dog deserves it though. Poor girl hates winter. She needs to run and none of us have the desire to be outside as much as she wants.

Ugh. Today is such a fucking Monday. It was 1*F feels like -9*F when I woke up. I am on day 3 of Whole30 and starting to feel the effects of no dairy/added sugar/processed crap. My body is like "Here's a mother fucking headache! I won't take it away until you feed me Nutella!" And this week we are transitioning DS back into daycare/school and I have been pretty much crying all day. I think it will be a good fit but after being home full time with us for over a year I think getting back into a stricter routine will be rough ...

Two specific Monday Moans for me:
1. We received our new insurance cards over the weekend. Cigna has us down for the wrong plan. I called Cigna and they said that H's employer never gave them any updated insurance elections for us. I put in a call to H's employer. No call back.
2. Financial lady at my RE's office is a nightmare. I prepaid our IUI cycle - which was supposed to include everything - monitoring (1 or 2 U/S), processing the sperm and the IUI. I have two outstanding charges from October that I shouldn't have been billed for and this chick is doing NOTHING to get these taking off my account. And now I'm getting letters from the billing department saying these are going to be sent to collections. I seriously LOATHE this finance lady. She is terrible at her job.

This may or may not work but I plan to take a detox bath of Epson salt after I weight in tonight for the dietbet and go to the gym. I figure it may help draw out some toxins and maybe it will help with cravings and what not. It's 2 cups in the bath and soak for 20 minutes. Make sure to drink plenty of water though.

This is intriguing to me. Have you tried it before? Or will this be a first?
@led I'm trying to get MH to let us get a Casper. I want new bed so badly and have heard so many good things. I'm traveling home today...but on red eye tonight, which is no fun. At least we don't have to rush around getting ready to head out I guess!
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!
britta it will be a first time for me. I've heard going to sauna for 3 days straight helps if you are trying to quit smoking because you sweat out the toxins. This type of bath is also made to sweat out toxins so I would think a similar thing would happen.

starbuck27, Good for your walk! I always tell myself I'm going to get up early to do the same thing but then the idea of waking up crazy early so that H is home while DS is still asleep makes my resolve dissolve.
ladytiffany24, I'm so excited for The Bachelor! Wooooo!!
bex15, I just bought the Weight Watchers scale and really like it right now
requiressnacks, I would be livid about both those situations. FX things get dealt with soon!
Let's see...I was late to work, still trying to find a full time babysitter which sucks because I can't afford to employ one, and I can't get an OBGYN's office to call me back. So that's cool.

My commute this morning took an hour and half, which means traffic home tonight is probably at least two. At least DH is willing to make dinner tonight.
*passes out more coffee and tea for those of us at work still* I'm mainlining darjeeling so I don't pass out on my keyboard.

I changed my avatar because a new person had a similar one. I was sad to change it, but I think I like this new one even better. Nobody better already have this one!
Guys, past-me has tried to sabotage future-me. I just opened my desk drawer to find a bag of Hershey kisses that I bought last week to have for New Year's Eve when my family was up. I completely forgot about them.
On the plus side, I'm at just about 3k steps and the day isn't even halfway through.

I had chocolates stashed in my desk from before Christmas too!

My health insurance company has me down for the wrong plan too! I'm on hold with them now trying to figure this out. I got my new card today and almost had a heart attack when I saw that I had a $2,000 deductible. I just double checked my plan and the one I chose says $300. Big difference! Hope you get yours all figured out.
