Random Morning Musings

[judecorp]

1. We have GOT to stop getting phone calls from AT&T Long Distance for some dude Stephen. They called FOUR TIMES yesterday and on the fourth time, I actually pushed buttons until I got a person and told her that this isn't Stephen's number anymore and they need to stop calling. She sounded so dubious and said they had LD service on this number and I assured them that they absolutely did NOT. They called again this morning. Grr.

2. It is so nice to be in our big bed again. I never realized there was so much difference between a Queen and King bed. Jen and I were practically on top of each other on the guest bed and with the cats, it was a nightmare. Now I can streeeeetch out. With cats. Yay.

3. Jeff and Melis are coming over tonight and bringing us dinner. How cool is that! Melis told me not to, but I am going to at least moderately clean the bathroom sink area because it is disgusting. Jen told me not to also, but I can't handle being a dirty host.

4. Jen's work thing was really awkward. She doesn't know too many people at work yet so everyone was standing up and chit-chatting and we were sitting. There were appetizers on the tables and I wanted to eat So! Badly! but everyone else was standing and that would have been weird. So I kept sending psychic signals to people to sit down. (It did not work. I need to work on my psychic powers.) Also, we sat with one of her work friends, who is very nice, and her boyfriend, who was kind of an ass. I think he outdid himself when he asked us, "So do you guys eat nuts?" and kept yuk-yukking. Douchebag.

5. Daedalus digs his cat door. In our old apartment, he would go down the stairs to the doorway and "sing" in the staircase. (Better acoustics, I suppose.) Now he goes into the basement after breakfast for his singing. So cute.

6. And now your daily TMI, so you can "enjoy" this pregnancy along with me: After having no blood since about 1pm yesterday, I woke up this morning to blood in the toilet out of nowhere with a teensy little clot (about the size of a pencil eraser). A little while later, I went to the bathroom again, just a little brown. An hour or so later, nothing. This is SO WEIRD. At this point, all I can assume is that it's the hematoma having a meltdown. I'm at the point where I'm pretty blase about the whole thing. If something's going to happen, it's going to happen. There's nothing I can do but wait until next Thursday.

I hate awkward parties where food is involved. I want to eat it too -- and in fact, usually do and embarrass the DH to no end.

Yeah... normally I am not one of those Must Eat Now kind of people, but I didn't have much for lunch yesterday because I was feeling lousy about the bleeding and I was starving. Besides, I love salad. Mmmm, salad.

Eventually I broke down and started eating while people were still standing, but only after someone else ate first. :)

Just take it super easy when you're bleeding. It helps to be off your feet. I know it's so upsetting. I'm thinking of you and sending lots of positive baby vibes your way!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yes, but how long can I stay off my feet realistically? I mean, it's been forever and I haven't really done anything. Laying down obviously doesn't make it stop, as I have all of my red bleeds when I wake up from sleeping. It doesn't make sense.

I just don't know what to do anymore. I wish I knew one way or another, but life doesn't work like that. Sigh.

"So do you guys eat nuts?"

Was he tipsy or just inappropriate? Sheesh.

I saw a hefty kitty door at Home Depot last week and thought of your kitties. Also, Laurel tried to squish herself through it, to the great amusement of the nice associate I was asking where to find a replacement door sweep.

Clots are weird. I saved one once because my then-healthcare provider didn't believe my notes on flow [1] and they thought it was revolting that I brought it in a baby food jar full of a weak bleach solution. My current doc just listens and recommends a specialist for stuff outside his scope. I wish he was an OB/GYN so I could see him for that too.


1. I have extremely detailed notes on every menses back to 1998, then dates and general notes back to menarche. I'm paranoid because my mother was the only one of seven sisters to reach menopause with all of her reproductive organs still inside her.

I wish I could blame it on drunkenness but he really was just an ass. Aah well. The world is full of asses. :)

Dude, that's whack that you brought a clot in a jar. You are hardcore!!

Still thinking of you and yours.

I hate awkward work things. I'm often very glad that my school is cheap and just has a luncheon for us on the last school day -- it really works out better for everyone involved, I think.

I'm just used to working with social workers who are always super-PC and never say anything inappropriate around people they don't know. So it was a little bit of a shock.

Luncheons are fun. I like when you have work gatherings during work time, instead of getting into personal time.

What is this singing?

Varmy does this bizarre crying/crooning sound when she's caught her toy-mouse, or found a piece of plastic tie, or a box...And then sometimes she does it randomly, although I think it's her "cry for attention" because usually I'll call to her to come here and she stops and comes trotting (when really I'm just calling so she'll come and STOP making that AWFUL sound).

That baby is going to hang on. Just you wait.

Daedalus likes to go into places that echo (like staircases) and make this "OW. OW. OWWWW." sound. It's quite adorable. I believe he is singing for his breakfast.

Cats are awesome.

When no one else is eating and I am hungry and want to eat the appetizers that are out at a party, I throw caution to the wind and EAT anyway! You should be like me and not care what anyone else thinks!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

You are awesome! If it was MY work party I would have totally done it, but I felt weird at Jen's because I didn't know ANYONE and she only knew a handful of people. I didn't know if they were uptight!
