@copa I find the fb thing cheesy too. I think of my cousin who had a new “love of her life” monthly then posts how much she hates him a month later. Looks so immature. And she is older than me. I didn’t even friend my husband until we got married. Ha

Yeahhh, I haven’t had a roommate since college. Briefly lived with a boyfriend in my early/mid-20s. It’d be a HUGE adjustment for me. I think I’d need two bathrooms for a long-term living situation with a partner. I’ve thought about what it’d be like to move in with BG already, not gonna lie. He owns his place (I still rent) and I like certain things about it (generally very spacious, cute little sun room in the back, fenced yard) but also things that I hate (for its square footage the bedrooms are tiny, I’d pick a sunnier space, and only one bathroom). But I’ll worry about this stuff later, like IF we get to that point.

Even if you can just get a separate toilet it makes a huge difference. We only had one bathroom at one of our houses but there was a separate toilet off the downstairs laundry and I designated that one the man toilet. Saved our marriage! ?

Arggg. Almost a month into my heart medication NOW I am getting negative side effects. Also found out I have to switch to something else regardless when I get pregnant (fingers crossed) so better to do it now and get the right medication working and figured out. Frustrated though as I am so light headed and dizzy, which are common issues with the medication. Also get to shell out for a blood pressure monitor (to see if this is why I am lightheaded), ovulation test kit (per Dr although I already track myself). So there’s $100 plus. Then convincing my insurance to cover the fertility Dr. but all that assuming I can get my awful PCP’s staff to actually put my referral through. They are impossible. It takes three weeks to get so much as an rx refill through them. I love the Dr but his staff are awful (say they did something when I was standing there so know they didn’t) and push me off for weeks. I am having to change doctors just because of them. Shame since the doctor himself was great. I can’t even get an appointment in less than three months to try to address it with him. Grrr.

I think I was spoiled in CA since I worked for my doctor for many years and continued to be his patient. I could call him and most would be handled or he would get me in anytime since we knew each other well and it would be quick and easy. Plus learning the details of Tri Care is so confusing. I know health insurance very well having worked with it for a long time yet Tri Care baffles me and while offers a lot sure has a lot of hoops to jump through. Must not complain since our whole family rate is less than most people pay for one person a month.

Soooooo over this stupid HR issue though, freaking exhausting.

Oh but stepson got a job! I can barely even believe it typing that out. We just wanted him to do something outside of school (volunteer, sport, club, anything) but he chose this and did it himself so good for him. And passed his driving test but how i have no idea. He simply is not even close to ready to drive. He won’t be getting to drive anytime soon and he is fine with that but it seriously is concerning that these drivers ed teachers are passing people who truly are not even close to ready to be on the road.

So other things are positive! Husband has tomorrow off due to Bush (sad reason) but nice to have a day off with him. They said it would barely flurry today but it has been snowing fast all morning so perhaps it will be a curl up inside and avoid the weather day for us. I think I will make my ham bone soup.

Thanks! Also glad because he was so excited to get his license but wasn’t comprehending that even if we do buy him a car (if and when) he does need to pay for gas and perhaps contribute some to maintenance and insurance. I want him to get a car eventually so we don’t always have to drive him around so it’s a good step.
