....Cycle Day 31....
So I'm over due to give an update on how things are going with me and the hubby. Maybe next time I won't wait so long to write an update and it can be much shorter. Maybe... we'll see...First of all, remember when I was talking about food stamps? Well we evidently make a little too much money now to qualify for them anymore. But thankfully Jared just finished paying off his truck! So now we can spend the money that we were spending on the truck payments for food! Yay! So we're doing ok on that.
I'm starting to get used to this lovely work schedule where I hardly ever spend time with my husband. It hasn't been easy, but I'm getting used to it. It's becoming easier to sleep without him near by. I don't feel as sad and lonely when he's not around. I'm willing to eat dinner by myself, because if I wait until he gets home for dinner break I'm no longer hungry. I miss my husband.
Jared picked me up some info at the DHS and I filled out a form for "financial assistance for family planning". Yay I didn't have to go through Planned Parenthood! Anyways I filled out the form, gave them a copy of my ID, and a few days later.... I got my own Medicaid card!
I called an OB/GYN center and made an appointment for December 1st. I am very much not looking forward to going, but I am looking forward to getting it over with. Btw.... The lady that answered asked me if I was pregnant, I said no. And then I started to tell her that I've never been checked out before... And before I could say anything about infertility she said, oh I see. So... should I call again and tell her that it's because I'm infertile? Is that something they should know before I show up? Or should I just tell them when I arrive? I dunno.....
This last week we've been in and out of town a bunch. Counted it up, over 12 hours of driving! Jared's Papa Darrell was in the hospital and not doing so well. On Thursday he passed away. And yesterday was the memorial service for him. It has been a very long difficult week. Jared loved his Papa very very much, and though I didn't know him real well, I knew lots of him. He will be missed dearly.
I have a yucky cold, and my period is late. My last two cycles were exactly 28 days, very rare for me. And then the one before it was 37, a bit late even for me. This time I'm on day 31 still no signs of starting, not real upset about it. I definitely don't think I'm pregnant, too much has been going on this month. But with this nasty cold I'm glad I don't have to deal with my cycle just yet either. But at the same time... Once I had a 49 day cycle! My cycle needs to come at a decent time so I know I won't be on my period when I go into the doctors! Anyways.... my cold is gross and I can't breath out my nose at all. Fun stuff.
And that pretty much wraps this up! I can post about Thanksgiving type stuff later. =)
