HELLO...OUT...THERE.....(Created March 23rd)

Gosh I was in such a bad place when I feel off the map. What was that October? Anyways... I'm back! I promise I'm back. 

@Ky29 congratulations on the baby boy! 

Even though the board hasn't been that active I see a lot has been going on for you all!

Work put me in a very bad place health wise. I decided to leave when the work environment became and stayed hostile. I don't like being bullied and working with people who can't act like professionals (or adults). Did I mention any of this before I disappeared? Took me about 2 months to start feeling better physically.

I was in a friends wedding that stressed me out more then my wedding. $380 bridesmaid outfit and $203 rental tux is not affordable. This set my health back. Shouldn't surprise me because these are the friends who caused us the most stress during our wedding and did zip for us. It turned out ok. There were some things that I give a major side eye to. I'm incredibly glad its over. I hope everything can go back to normal and I can get over all the crap that happened.

I've had the worst luck finding a job. I did interview at 3 places. Got 2 job offers almost immediately. I declined both because they weren't a good fit. I must be crazy for not having a full time job and declining job offers. I'm being extra careful for my health. I've decided I'm going to go to a temp agency. I've had a few paying photography jobs. That's good. 

Our good car went kaput with No Warning. $6000 in repairs. H has had $2000 in dental work done this year. He needs more done. 

I'm sure I've mentioned we decided against IVF for a couple of years last year. We did entertain freezing my eggs for a minute. Still trying naturally but know our chances aren't great. We are ok with that. As ok as we can be.

For almost 3 months we went to Austin every weekend for various things. That was exhausting! H and I went on a trip for just us, for fun. It had been years since we've been to DC. Looked at the forecast and said lows of 30. Get there and it starts snowing and gusting! gets down to -11! Definitely not prepared for that! Hoping to go to Chicago. Fingers crossed the flights are good. I forget who my Chicago/ Illinois ladies are. I've found a couple of things I want to see.

Ok. That is the cliff-notes.

    Look at me saying I'm back then don't check in for over a month. Terrible.

    Of course it was so cold when we went to Chicago and the people we were with were wimpy. It was good times tho. Except when I no longer existed on the employee reservation page! Had to get added in. That was super fun.
  • Did you eat anywhere fun in Chicago? My hubs and I have entertained the idea of flying out there just to eat at a bunch of restaurants one weekend - haa ha.
