Re: 3T Check in
I'm in a holding pattern while the doctors talk it out. I'm irritated and annoyed that no matter how many people I talk to, no matter how many times I call I can't get an answer. I took a test today thinking that I could skip the whole thing, but that was pretty delusional of me. It's dumb.

A Parachute in an Oak Tree: A World of Love
DE IVF ER - 12/2/2016 (17R/10F = 8 frosties); FET 1.0 (1/27/2017) - BFP 6dp5dt (EDD 10/16/2017)
@FutureMrsWright2012 big ((hugs)) I hope you have a great date night tomorrow.
As for me, we did our teaching Monday. Estimated ER around 11/24. I start Lupron Monday.
I hate a really shitty day at work today. It concluded with a tenant, who is consistently minutes from being evicted for not paying her rent, telling me that the universe will get even with me for how mean i am to her. (this year alone she was minutes from being locked out twice and now has court anew tomorrow) I melted down. Usually I don't take comments from tenants seriously but this one hit a very sensitive nerve. All I can and could think is maybe all the people I have to kick out of their homes to do my job is why we are where we are. I just couldn't help but think that maybe she's right and that's why we lost our babies.
As for tomorrow, after giving tons of candy to trick or treaters, we're off to our friends Halloween party.

I suppose I should give up caffeine and alcohol about now..... Ugh.
We are having friends over for a bbq tomorrow. I'm sure there will be trick-or-treaters coming by too.

Update: Our online profile and photos have been accepted! They are putting together the print brochure, and we should have a proof in 2 weeks. The video equipment should be here in about a week. We can go active once the proof is accepted (the video can still be in the works). This means that our profile will start being shown in 3 weeks or so. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
QOTW: I am dressing up for school today, and I'm leaving early. DH and I are going to FL for the weekend for his grandfather's 80th birthday.
FFC: I've never really been to FL, so this is kind of exciting. I spent a night in Miami once, but that's it.
((hugs)) for Bruins and Island.
GL to ILRV and Poppies! so exciting!!
Nothing to report here. Business as usual.
QOTW: Nothing. I'll answer the door and hand out candy, but my plans were dashed so I'm just blah about the whole thing now.

I just hate every single fucking person that doesnt know why the scale matters so much "oh my god you look amazing!!! you should be so happy with what you are doing....dont keep weighing yourself its all about the clothes and how you feel!!! The scale doesnt matter" I almost jumped down the throat of a newbie at work who didnt know the real reason behind the numbers and forced myself to calmly fill her in myself
SO Much love to you ladies
QOTW: Sitting freezing in my dining room (its the room with the front door and our storm door isnt insulated) handing out candy writing medical billing for work while DH is watching tv in the living room)....trying to not PMS eat all the candy lol and trying not to live in that bitter place with all the cute little ones coming to my door
