Bob

So, tomorrow we are going to see Bob Saget at the comedy club. I’ve been waiting for this show for a long time. Bryan and I need a night out just the two of us. Usually we’re going out with mom/Robert or hanging with the roomies. Show is at 10, but we plan to get there really early so we can sit in the front row. We have VIP seating, but that could still be a crappy seat. It may rain a little tomorrow too, so getting to downtown Portland will be messy. And then trying to find parking… its gonna be messy.
 
Next weekend we are going camping. That I am more excited about. We have not been camping in over 4 years. We got a new container to hold all our camping gear, so Bryan went through everything and tossed a lot out that was expired. Just means we need to buy a bunch of stuff now. Bug repellent, sunscreen, allergy meds, ect.  We already did a drive by to see what spots we wanted to stay in. I really hope we get a good spot. The campsite is a lot smaller than I thought it was going to be, and the spots are a lot closer than I am used to too. Bryan and I took Friday off, but we’re going to go up Thursday after work. If Robert doesn’t get a wild hair and set up our tent, we’ll just keep headlights on the site so we can get our tent up.  There is football on Sunday’s now, but I don’t wanna leave the campsite till afternoon. I’ve already given Bryan a heads up about missing the Packers.
 
WORK: One of the MA’s quit a few weeks ago without notice. They found a replacement, but the Dr didn’t like the new girl’s attitude. So, they let her go. Now we are shorthanded again. Kris asked if I wanted to be an MA instead of the Phlebotomist… I quickly replied “No, I’m happy where I am now.”
It’s nothing against the Dr, or the crew, I just enjoy being in the lab. I appreciated the offer, and I know there will be days where I will be an MA so I can keep that on my Resume. Yesterday, John came in to work so I could work with the Dr. It wasn’t as bad as I thought, however, Stacie was helping a lot with phone calls and messages.

PCOS

I need to talk about PCOS for a minute. Most people think it's simply having cysts on the ovaries.  It's a whole lot more.

Here's what Mayo clinic summarizes it:
The cause of polycystic ovary syndrome isn't well understood, but may involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Symptoms include menstrual irregularity, excess hair growth, acne, and obesity.

Treatments include birth control pills to regularize periods, a medication called metformin to prevent diabetes, statins to control high cholesterol, hormones to increase fertility, and procedures to remove excess hair.

It's not just the missed periods - it's infertility, miscarriages or premature births.
It's not just acne - it's cystic acne on the face, neck, chest and back.
It's not just obesity - it's weight gain primarily in the stomach, with high cholesterol no matter the diet, skin tags or dark skin spots.

So,  before you go judging me on my weight, or my skin, or the fact I can't get pregnant, know that it's not all in my control.

Sounds like life to me

Hubby's work is cracking down on OT. Instead of getting 20 hrs of OT a check. He'll be lucky to get 5. That's gonna hurt a little.  I had planned to pay things off faster, but now we're gonna just have minimum payments...

We have to renew Remy's wellness plan so he can have another surgery. His cancer is back and regrowth has a higher chance of  metastasizing. But, we have to push it back 3 weeks cuz of this OT cutback. This is so we don't have to put some on credit.

I'll make it all work out. I always do when it comes to money. 

Other than this, things are great!

Camping in T-12 days!!

Welcome

I start this blog with the intention of being myself.  There are things I can't post on Facebook.  No matter who I block or let access my feed.

If you stumble across this blog and find yourself wondering "wtf", remember, these are thoughts inside my head. Things I could never say in public.  Some things, maybe, but mostly me just being me.




So, today is recovery day. Last night, hubby & I celebrated being in oregon for 3 years!! We popped the keg open & had a blast! Mom&Robert came by to eat & dinner and watch some football.  Robert drank, but mom doesn't drink beer. Colin came over before Christie got off work. I managed to stay up past Rose getting home! We played some 'cards' with the weed expansion pack. Bryan cut me off after I started getting really tired. He wanted me to stay up and enjoy myself.  It was about 1am that i tapped out & went to bed. I didn't get sick,  but I sleep almost 10 hours. Greasy breakfast is the best for me. Colin, on the other hand, needs a lot more help. He did great though on helping with the keg.

Oh! And we met the new neighbors!  We offered them to come over when they were done moving in. But I got drunk and couldn't wait.  I brought them a pitcher of beer in the event they were too tired. But they came over anyway!! Very nice people and I think it'll be great having them next door. 


We are about to take the dogs to the park.  And then we'll see if I can stomach more keg! Haha Haha!  At least we had fun while it lasted.
