I have beautifully crafted, elegantly worded posts cluttering up my head that have not made it as far as the keyboard, let alone to this space. But instead, I’m angrily tapping out this little gem on my phone while, ironically enough, baby girl nibbles at my breast. Ironic because, after a much-needed nap (mine–baby girl […]
I have a long, detailed post in my drafts about the breastfeeding saga so far. I’ve briefly alluded to the fact that we’ve been having problems getting this whole feeding thing down, but that doesn’t do justice to how ridiculously hard it’s been. I know parenting is hard, but it’s not supposed to be this […]
But it’s not. I still haven’t seen a doctor since arriving here. Actually, since a week before we left our former home. Not for lack of trying. Turns out, the first step was applying for public health insurance, which we did on Tuesday. I was then given a letter confirming that I had applied and […]
So. We officially took over the lease on our new apartment on Saturday. Only, the previous tenants still had all their stuff there. It was a bit awkward there for a while, with JP moving out Saturday afternoon and his roommate, D, moving out Saturday evening and well into Sunday. The whole process was last-minute […]
So, Hubby’s conversation with his future boss yesterday did not go as we thought. The professor still wants Hubby to start work as soon as possible, but it seems like he expects him to do that work for free. Are you fucking shitting me? My husband is a nice guy. Perhaps too nice, too willing […]
Just a quick little rant today. Hubby and I went to see Man of Steel tonight. As we were walking in, I asked, “How long is this movie?” It’s 2 1/2 freaking hours, y’all. So when I saw families with young children seating themselves in an otherwise sparsely populated theater, I thought, “Hmmm. This movie […]
I’ve been thinking a lot about my reaction to D’s pregnancy news and how I might respond to her if/when she ever called me as she promised she would. One weekend passed. Then another. And another. Today, one month after our last conversation, she called. I answered before I even realized who was calling. And […]
The last week has been hard. I’ve been pretty down in the dumps since my last therapy session, and today’s wasn’t any better. I was angry about my conversation with D, and I’m already anticipating the anniversary of my mother’s death this weekend. (I’ll write more about that later.) My head still hurts from crying. […]
I started writing this post on 2/2/13, hence the title. Trisha’s post yesterday came at the exact time I needed it, along with the comments that followed. I received a letter from an old friend yesterday. It was not what I wanted. It came just as I was beginning to let go of what has […]
As if the emotional pain of a failed cycle wasn’t bad enough, for the past two days I’ve been doubled over in physical pain with the worst. cramps. ever. I’m pretty sure my uterus is trying to eat my other organs. There’s so much I’ve wanted to write about regarding the sucktitude of the past […]
