So hopefully this all makes sense. This will be long. </div>

On 7/7 we were scheduled to check in at the hospital at 1830 (6:30pm). They were currently full in labor & delivery unit, so we were put into a small triage room till they could clean and move us into the big room. </div>

After seeing it might be a while before they could move us, the doctors decided to place the Cervadil there. They did the check and placement about 2030, and told me I couldn't walk for 2 hours. At this time I was 1.5 </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
At roughly 2230 I was telling B how uncomfortable I was when 2 nurses, a tech, and a doc ran in. James had a significant heart rate deceleration.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
They rolled me on my side, on my other side, and finally hands and knees. They rushed fluids and oxygen. But finally got him to settle down. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
Within 20 minutes it happened again. This time i got 2 doctors, 3 nurses, 2 techs (and B). This time though, James really want responding.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
When they finally got James to settle down the doctors, B and I had a talk about our options. The head doctor told us that right now James is "good" baby, he is healthy... but if we wait too much longer we don't know what's going to happen. The is highly suggested a emergency c-section.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
The doctors assembled a team and we were moved really quickly into the OR and prepped for a c-section. When we got there I met the anesthesiologist, signed a bunch of paperwork and I got the epidural started. Unfortunately, the epidural/spinal block didn't take. They hung the screen and sanitized and my belly and I could still feel everything.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
Now they're out of options. They made Brian leave the room (until after intubation) had 2 nurses hold my hand, 1 put on an oxygen mask the other one held pressure on my throat and I was put under. I was then intubated and they proceeded with the c-section.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
Now everything for this part, I don't remember because I was put under...But, I heard multiple nurse's, a doctor, and my husband what happened. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
What happened was that they were able to get James out rather quickly. But unfortunately he was not responsive when they got him out. He took one breath.... Then decided that ear enough i guess. They rushed him to the incubator area and started CPR and they were able to get him back rather quickly but it was long enough my very even tempered husband was starting to freak out.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
So what we didn't know at this point was that down the hall another mom was having an emergency situation. her situation was a bit more severe than mine resulting in a crash c-section. She moved into OR next to mine, half of "my team" split to help her. Causing bri to freak out a bit more. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
So they wake me up in your rather abruptly and apparently I thought it was at the bar and couldn't find my husband and was freaking out. So Brian had to leave the baby side to come call me down.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
Then as if that's not enough. I had an allergic reaction to the tape they used on my eyelids. Had get a benadryl for the itching and scratching. The benadryl and the pain medicine for the surgery reacted in a way that made me foggy to the point of delirium. The next day, the nurse commented on my... um... crankyness during that part. I explained to her how much I HATE the drug foggy feeling. I hate it more then i can explain, then add to it the fact that I was only able to be awake enough to feed James and I was out again. I hated every moment of that fog. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
We learned later that the reason all of this started was James had is umbilical cord crimped between his head and the birth canal wall as well as wrapped around his neck once. So the smallest contractions (the ones that were barely a blip on the screen cause his stats to freak the fuck out. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
With all that being said. Its now over a month later and I am still in awe of everything. If i had to do it all again, I probably would. There is nothing the doctors could have done to changed the outcome. Everything that happened was just a fluke and unpredictable. I mean. I got a really great baby out of the deal.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">

<br />
So i haven't blogged in well over a year. I've been a bit pre-occupied. Lets do a life catch up<br />
<br />
in November 2012, My husband deployed to Afghanistan.<br />
<br />
In January I started my bachelors program at Academy Of Art University for a degree in Interior Architecture and Design.<br />
<br />
In June 2013, My husband came home.<br />
<br />
Around the time he was coming home we decided that for multiple reasons, I would stay off my birth control. I went off originally for my many issues with migraines. I did the Whole 30 Paleo program at that time too.<br />
<br />
In August 2013, We took a pregnancy test and it told us we were pregnant. Unfortunately the next day we found out we weren't. I had what some people call a 'chemical pregnancy'<br />
<br />
Then in September 2013, my period which was SUPER regular was late. I was hesetant to take a test. But the test came back positive. This time the baby stuck.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
During the pregnancy we got word that B would be getting orders soon and we would be moving. Little did we know that we were moving to GERMANY!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
39 weeks later (roughly) I became a mom. I'll post about the birth later. It was... an ordeal to say the least.<br />
<br />
8 July 2014 James Stefan was born<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The movers showed up on July 28th and packed up our house.<br />
On August 8th we had James' one month appointment and we were cleared to travel. Coincidentally, that day B finished his out processing.<br />
<br />
Saturday August 9th we decided to pack up and start our leave by driving 10 hours north to come home before we leave for Germany.<br />
<br />
Currently I'm sitting on the couch at my Father-in-laws house.<br />
<br />
Its been an EPIC whirl wind of a year. I wouldn't change a thing.<br />
<br />
I decided to get back into blogging to get out 'all the feels'. Motherhood has been such a mixed bag of emotions. I really haven't had a moment since James was born to get a moment to myself to really evaluate everything. So here's hoping that I will stick to the blog and be able to talk out/Type out everything in a manner that works both for me and makes sense to you.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17023709430956208020noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8292667932801219946.post-22545678439415147862013-04-22T11:04:00.000-07:002013-04-22T11:04:30.816-07:00Hush Hush Series by Becca FitzpatrickI'm going through my "read books" section on my Kindle and catch up on some of the books and series i've read but never updated on.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Hush Hush Series</b></u><br />
<b>By Becca Fitzpatrick</b><br />
<br />
I read this series a long time ago (maybe over a year) but i've always liked it, I even recommended it to my mom. She was unimpressed, but liked them. She called them 'fluff... entertaining fluff'. lol<br />
<br />
The Hush Hush series follows Nora Grey. She's just a normal teenager living her life, until Patch shows up. Then she is dragged into a war she never knew was happening. and its just her luck, she has a key role in the war.<br />
<br />
Its your typical girl meets boy, boy annoys girl, boy saves girl, girl is convinced boy is stalking her, girl admits feelings for boy, and boy tells her he's a fallen angel sworn to protect her.<br />
<br />
awww, sweet love.<br />
<br />
Honestly though, I think its a cute story. Its definitely not a series that stimulates the mind, but its a cute story. I read all 4 books. I totally got sucked into it. <br />

By Carrie Vaughn<br />
<br />
This series was recommended to me by a friend who is also obsessed with all book on paranormal fiction. I'm so glad she did. This series is AMAZING! I like to classify this series as 'paranormal mystery'.<br />
<br />
Kitty Norville is just your average girl, but she's got a not-so-secret secret... she's a werewolf. Kitty has her own radio talk show and after one day buying a copy of Weird World of Science, decides this would be a good idea for her show. It turned out to be a fantastic idea and her show quickly becomes a cult classic and quickly rises in popularity. The only problem is that she is bringing to light the world that most would like to be left in the dark. After someone puts a bounty on her head, Kitty has to fight for her life.<br />
<br />
I love Kitty. She's so quick witted, sarcastic, snarky, and so fucking funny. I highly recommend this series to anyone!! <br />

you feel like you "know" the characters, or at least I did. I yelled
at Betsy, told her what to do, clapped & cheered her on, and fell in love
with her. I am constantly at a battle of wanting to finish the books yo find
out what happens and not wanting it to be over so I read slower.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Betsy was a typical office
secretary. She worked hour an executive, fixed the printer, and saved her
bosses butt... That was until she got fired and then hit by a car all in the
same day. When she wakes up in a morgue in a tacky pink suit and cheap shoes,
she's unsure what happened. But after trying to re-kill herself, she is
resigned to her nee reality. She's a Vampire. But not just any vampire, Betsy
is foretold to be the Queen.</span></div>

<br />
<br />
I have <span class="st"><em>Dipsophobia</em></span> <br />
I am desperately, insanely, crazily afraid of the Dentist. <br />
You know how some people fear riding in planes, spiders, etc. I fear the dentist.<br />
<br />
I had a bad incident when I was a kid where they drilled before I was numb.<br />
Then long stretches of not having dental insurance so I always had cavities.<br />
Those 2 coupled with some serious anxiety normally and you get some serious catatonic fear.<br />
<br />
I thought I had finally kicked the fear when we were still back home.<br />
I had found a really really amazing dentist. They just opened an office around the corner from our old apartment. Plus the dentists first and last names were the same as my husbands first and middle name.<br />
A freaking sign, right?<br />
He was amazing. He totally understood my fear. He was so helpful.<br />
<br />
So, I felt pretty good when I moved down here. I made an appointment to go to a local dentist. And it was an EPIC FAILURE!!<br />
<br />
First, the office was really hard to find.<br />
Second, I had to wait in the office for over 20 minutes past my appointment time<br />
Third, When they finally called me back, the tech was rough when she took my x-rays and then I seriously sat around for over an hour. then the tech complained about how small my teeth were and then the dentist was really forceful. she wanted me to wait another hour and come back and have something done. I left, cried, and never went back. <br />
<br />
But now the military has said I need a note from my Civilian Dentist. So...fuck.<br />
A new dentist opened up not to far from the house. I thought i'd give them a chance.<br />

<br />
I'm freaking out. B, isn't here. I have no one here. <br />
I am slightly freaking out.<br />
By slightly I mean I'm majorly having panic attacks on the inside. <br />
<br />
<br />

As this week draws to a close I thought I might blog about the ups and downs of the first week on Whole 30<br />
<br />
I read about all of the Whole 30 tips, tricks, testimonials, etc. So the weekend before I packed up EVERYTHING out of my house. I packed up 5 bags and 2 boxes of (semi)healthy food and gave it to one of my co-workers. She's a tiny little thing and has 2 kids. So I figure, she can use the food. <br />
<br />
So as you know Monday was New Years Eve. It was.... interesting. I spent it in bed watching movies. Lol. With B deployed, I didn't want to go anywhere where I'd have to drive home. So I just stayed here. and had wine. lol.<br />
<br />
That was Monday.<br />
<br />
Tuesday It all started. The Showroom I work at was closed, so I used today to go to the grocery store. I stocked up on veggies, fruits, eggs and meats.<br />
<br />
Can I just say how hard it is to find bacon with out SUGAR in it. FUCK! I just want bacon.<br />
<br />
I did pretty well all week. The food is glorious. I had talapia and green beans for 3 nights in a row, simply because it was so freaking good. <br />
<br />
The major downside to the first week is the withdrawl from everything. I went further than most with the Whole30. I gave up caffeine too.<br />
<br />
The side effect or side bonus of this Whole 30 is I find more out about my migraines and my battles with them.<br />
<br />
So I gave up fake sugar, anything processed, most carbs, caffeine, alcohol, and um... I think thats it.<br />
<br />
When I tell people this, they say "so what do you eat?" but seriously, there is so much more to life than all of that crap.<br />
<br />
I'm eating like a mother fucking queen!<br />
Sometimes you want something bad, but you have to remember that those little things got me here to this weight. those things got me to this point. Those things aren't going to stop me now.<br />
<br />
So I started a support group with some of my friends and we do weekly weigh ins. I know on whole30 they suggest not weighing yourself till the very end, but I did.<br />
<br />
So 12/31 I weighed in at 202.5.... and I cried. I've never been at that weight. It is my all time heaviest. I couldn't believe it. but it happened.<br />
<br />
on 01/06 I weighed in at 195.5. Thats a 7 lb difference in just one week. <br />
<br />
The headaches are still here almost nightly. but i'm still holding out hope.<br />
<br />
On to week 2.... <br />
<br />
<br />

I took the plunge folks.<br />
I've been talking to people for a while about it.<br />
but I finally decided to do it.<br />
<br />
<u><b><span style="font-size: large;">I WENT PALEO!</span></b></u><br />
<br />
You heard it here first ladies and.... ladies.<br />
<br />
So on Jan 1st I started Whole 30.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDSHzL7TLUy3rIgzxIQ66hbR-szrx40Ltg9HpB_4HE-V0m3rF12fhIItxfp9hx2z2RJcrwFGa6aZwf6snoY1e8fX4JPYONfxf3SNzC16QzW8BYLh5CSpO3mQ7uPQrKT109Bv15Z550FrO8/s1600/Whole30-Version-31.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDSHzL7TLUy3rIgzxIQ66hbR-szrx40Ltg9HpB_4HE-V0m3rF12fhIItxfp9hx2z2RJcrwFGa6aZwf6snoY1e8fX4JPYONfxf3SNzC16QzW8BYLh5CSpO3mQ7uPQrKT109Bv15Z550FrO8/s320/Whole30-Version-31.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
There was a group of girls I know doing it and with B being deployed. Now is the best time.<br />
<br />
I am not going to lie, part of it sucks. but its not hard.<br />
<br />
I had read "It Starts With Food" a while back, but the way B eats, its just not practical. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8K1UBAqC30_bismAZStuGWnyj58LRSMn65XYFQCo08RS7tYcEdx1_v_8W0FzSSgIF_uCugoBNAmsB8AA6FDDFxdnATwljQ4VCrQz2SIQh1CfQwd4WTzfjaHENMQOcwuNXNcBZ7S2AIcLo/s1600/it-starts-with-food-review.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8K1UBAqC30_bismAZStuGWnyj58LRSMn65XYFQCo08RS7tYcEdx1_v_8W0FzSSgIF_uCugoBNAmsB8AA6FDDFxdnATwljQ4VCrQz2SIQh1CfQwd4WTzfjaHENMQOcwuNXNcBZ7S2AIcLo/s1600/it-starts-with-food-review.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
It is an awesome, bluntly, honest book about food, our mental-fuck that is the way we eat. and i love it. So when I saw this plastered on everyone's facebook, blogs, instagrams, etc.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzFIP9rv8G9YW1wXEnplRkaiqqyy8AEHFIOtL2agNwYZfLrv9qbdEodusTbdBrJ7ATZKkOt7j9BeKCUpqIwa1sLTpDESc0XAsFqJMM_HtZc1w-i-b3LiIpR9kprXMnjztpv3DDoaX0IaBz/s1600/get-ready-whole30-header1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzFIP9rv8G9YW1wXEnplRkaiqqyy8AEHFIOtL2agNwYZfLrv9qbdEodusTbdBrJ7ATZKkOt7j9BeKCUpqIwa1sLTpDESc0XAsFqJMM_HtZc1w-i-b3LiIpR9kprXMnjztpv3DDoaX0IaBz/s320/get-ready-whole30-header1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />So I decided, why the fuck not.<br />
So I did it.<br />
I'm all in.<br />

Fuck.<br />
I am not a fan.<br />
<br />
The worst part of this is:<br />
1) at least half of my stress is due to my mother. Well, my mother and her bff Drama.<br />
2) my other half of stress is unavoidable. And my comfort i usually had is half a world away.<br />
<br />

Time to get back to real life. While I had a blast with my family down here (I'll share pictures later). But I'm glad to be able to get back to real life. <br />
<br />
I am back to eating healthy.<br />
I made myself eat a bagel with non-fat cream cheese (better than not eating breakfast, or so they say). Having my non-starbucks coffee.<br />
<br />
I'm surrounded by schoolwork and military work.<br />
<br />
First: catch up with my online classes.<br />
Second: study my CDC's.<br />
On the TV is a Twilight Marathon the next will be Harry Potter.<br />
<br />
Hi my name is Rotty, and I am a geek.<br />

<br />
We are now far to close to my husbands deployment date than I feel is necessary. lol<br />
<br />
Its a weird emotion for me.<br />
I'm super excited for him to go. I know that he'll learn so much and get to do a lot of things we just can't do stateside.<br />
but I don't want him to go. lol.<br />
But I'm excited for him to leave because I have a lot to do this term and its hard to get all the time to do it when i'm trying to spend all the time I can with him.<br />
but I don't want him to go.<br />
<br />
You see what I mean?<br />
<br />
But as much as I want him here. I'm super excited for him to get there.<br />
plus he's ADD is out of.fucking.control.<br />
and his deployment shit is fucking everywhere!!!<br />
<br />
I'd like a clean house please.<br />
<br />

He was!<br></p>
<p>Okay bear with me on this one, I can't make this shit up.</p>
<p> So last night we went to 6 flags in Vallejo, CA and got tickets to Fright Night. We got the roller coasters and then at 6 the park switches over to "fright night" and all the zombies come out and the haunted houses open. It was really cool. </p>
<p>We went through one and it was a "miner" theme. It wasn't scary but more a "jump out of no where" type of thing. We were right behind a family with teenage girls so they got all the screams. I even offered my beer to one zombie. It was pretty good. </p>
<p>We went through one that was a "pig slaughter" it was real Hills Have Eyes shit. NOT FUCKING FUNNY! Scared the fucking shit out of me. Bri got mad because I took the "chicken exit".</p>
<p>The third one we went to was a "junk yard" theme. It was pretty freaky, not going to lie. <br>
We got through the most of it. and in the middle we went around a bend and there was a fence with 2 empty oil barrels. B saw the zombie and put himself between it and me. So the zombie jumps up to scare us and goes to hit the oil barrel with a steel pipe.... well he hit B instead.</p>
<p> Fucking swinging for the fences and NAILS B right across the top of his right wrist. The poor kid look petrified. he couldn't have been older then 17. he was so freaked out that B was going to hit him. </p>
<p>So I put on my bitch face and we booked it out of the house. we didn't get stopped by a single zombie the rest of the way out. We get to the end and tell the security guy what happened. <br>
Then we waited. <br>
Waited for the EMT (park rule). <br>
Waited for the "lead" on this house.<br>
Waited for the supervisor. <br>
Waited for guest services. etc etc. </p>
<p>All we wanted was for the kid to be talked to and be more careful. I mean it could have been a small kid. and we wanted our money back. We still had 2.5 hours of park to go. It was such a cluster. </p>
<p>The worse part is this can effect B's PT test and B's deployment. If he's on lifting restrictions, he can't do his job with a lifting restriction. then if he can't do his job, he can't get deployed. </p>
<p>I mean its to fucking funny. <br>
He has the best legit story</p>
<p>"DUDE what happened"<br>
"Zombie Fight"<br>
BOOM! <br>
lol. </p>

Again<div><p>So, for a long time i've put off going to the doctor for my toe. </p>
<p>In high school, I got a lot of ingrown toenails. But, I was always about to ”fix” them myself. </p>
<p>I figured given enough time, I could fix this one too. But when Sammy, my tiny dog, stepped on my toe and I was sure I was going to die... I figured it was time to go in. </p>
<p>Apparently it was pretty infected and had grown really deep in my toe.</p>
<p>But, I did ”grow a pair” and got it fixed. The lydocane (sp) was the wrist pain ever. it still hurts now, but it's a healing pain.</p>

Allllllllllll summer I have been looking for and applying for jobs. </p>
<p>The first time I get a phone call back I was in Georgia for the military.</p>
<p>I was able to arrange an interview for when I came home. But unfortunately, didn't get the job. Because I'm a military wife & my future is unstable, she ”didn't want to train me to work somewhere else”. And before you ask, no she technically can't do that. But 1) she has a point & 2) would I really want to fight it and force her to hire me, and possibly burn that bridge? The answer is: no.</p>
<p>I had another interview the week before school started. This place wasn't bad, but I didn't think it would challenge me. I knew I could do it. But the question was: did I want to?</p>
<p>The day after I had the interview, I found out I got the internship I really REALLY wanted.</p>
<p>The day after that, I got a job.</p>
<p>Soooooooooooooooo fuck. </p>
<p>I sat down and did the math for what the job was offering in pay an hour, minus taxes, & minus gas (it was a 45 min drive each way). Then I made a list of pro's & cons for both the job and the internship. Then I called the internship to ask if it was paid... Which it wasn't.</p>
<p>Then I stressed about it. And over thought everything. Then stressed some more. </p>
<p>Next, I had to talk it out with B. I told him everything, laid out the facts and my feelings. And waited and waited and waited. B is an internalizer. He had to think it out in his head before he can talk about it. What he decided was, he didn't have the right info to make an educated decision. He suggested that I ask someone in the field. So, I immediately emailed my favorite instructor. He pretty much said to take the internship.</p>
<p>So after another conversion with B.</p>
<p>And we decided that the internship was just to good to pass up. The experience was worth the lack of pay.</p>
<p>So now I am an intern at a premier design show room, shadowing an amazing designer, and getting crazy amounts of experience in all aspects of the Design field.</p>

I'm posting from my phone.)</p>
<p>GLB = Group Lifestyle Balance<br>
12 week weight loss/healthy living course.</p>
<p>So today was technically our second meeting, but I want to catch up on week one.</p>
<p>We met for the first time on the 10th. It's a decent sized group 14 total (I believe). A wide range of ages and sizes, only 2 guys but that's okay. </p>
<p>We went around the room and introduced ourselves and said why we wanted to be a part of this group.</p>
<p>Most of the woman say that thet were big their whole lives, they had kids and couldn't lose the weight, etc. but mines a little different. I was always skinny growing up. Grew up in a ”large size” family. I always feared getting fat, which lead to my battle with anorexia and anxiety. Then I met my husband, and for the first time ever in my life I felt ”safe” to be me. So, after a couple yet battle to over come my anorexia, it put on 20lbs... And instead of maintaining a healthy weight, I just kept gaining.</p>
<p>Now here I am in all my 191 pounds of glory.</p>
<p>This is not a healthy weight. And since my only way I knew to lose weight was to just stop eating, I need better tools and help to lose weight the right & healthy way.</p>
<p>This week's 'lesson' was about tracking. The coach (that's what they call themselves ”our coaches”) said the single most important weight loss tool is a food diary. So she handed us a little book to track everything we eat and drink. She said to not track calories, grams of fat, work outs, etc this week. All they want is for us to get in the habit of tracking. Which, by the way, is much much harder than it sounds.</p>
<p>So that was Monday morning.<br>
That evening I was removed from my class (long story for another day).</p>
<p>Tuesday I had my internship (which I need to share also another story for another day) in the morning and my Green Design class at night. Did really well with my eating. I panned everything ahead. Had lunch and dinner with me, so it didn't get the urge to way junk. made dinner for B in the crock pot so it was done when he got home.</p>
<p>Wednesday, internship all day. Met with my trainer that afternoon and we ran on car at the duck pond for the first time. It was hot, but it was a nice run/jog. Our was nice to get out for a change. Fresh air and all that jazz. Did okay with my eating. My run came at a weird time so I was a bit off.</p>
<p>Thursday: internship in the morning. Got to shadow Mrs.B on a job in a 2 MILLION DOLLAR HOME!!! Then I had my Advanced Kitchens class that, evening. I didn't do so well. Forgot to pack a fork for my lunch and only had snacks. Then splurged on chipotle.m and wayyyy over ate.</p>
<p> Friday: I went running with my trainer again. It was really fun to get out of the house for a bit and chat with a friend. That afternoon I went to the doctor to discuss my potions for an ingrown toenail. Well.... There was only one option: cut it out. Fuck did that suck! I'm glad it's done and over, but i'm going to avoid found,that again with all my might. Damn.<br>
Wasn't very hungry because of the pain. I did have breakfast and a bit of dinner. B made me stir fry</p>
<p>Saturday: I was a bit stupid. And went to the case lot sale on base. Which in itself isn't that bad. But with a bum toe, no real budget, and no i've with me, I went a but over board. But to be fair I sent part to my brother at college, part its non-perishable to send to B when he deploys etc by the end of the route, I haveto have a bagger boy help me push the ”cart” (picture the flat carts from Home Depot), to my car.</p>
<p>Sunday: I cleaned and read. statutes off my foot as much as possible.</p>
<p>So my week was a but crazy. <br>
I did okay with eating<br>
I need to cut out beer and coffee this week. <br>
I did well taking my food Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.<br>
But Thursday I only got half of it. Friday, it only wrote down breakfast.<br>
Totally forgot Saturday and Sunday. Oops.</p>
<p>This week will be better.<br>
No more beer till after the 26 th (pt test).<br>
My goals are: <br>
· Eat at least 3 meals a day.<br>
· Stay between 1200 - 1500 calories<br>
· Drink more water than anything else each day (goal of min. 72 oz or 3 of my water bottles)<br>
· keep better track of my food diary</p>

Some times I hate how small the Air Force is. </p>
<p>Several years ago, when I was young and dumb I had a run in with this guy 'M'. </p>
<p>M was a friend of my dad and I've known him since I was really young. His oldest daughter and I went to school together/grew up together. </p>
<p>So, ffwd i'm 20 (just met B) I'd just got out of a bad relationship/break up/rebound whore stint. One night in a drunken stooper I flashed one of M's friends while on assignment out of state. So... of course when I get home, everyone knew.</p>
<p>M decided to push his luck with me. M has a reputation of being a super sleeze ball. He boasts about cheating on his wife (who is super sweet and I'd love being her friend if she wasn't married to him). He then starts making lewd comments & gestures toward me and about me. Eventually he and the guy I flashed corner me in the parking lot. They start with the talk again and soon they are poking/touching me in inappropriate places, lifting up my uniform top, etc.</p>
<p>I'm really shaken up by it, but I try to play it off. Of course when Bri picks me up for lunch and he instantly knows somethings wrong. Long story short, I told my dad (who was in my unit at the time), who up chanelled it to the commander. The  Commander asked what I wanted to happen. I told her I didn't want people to know, but I also didn't want him to get away with it. She asked if I trusted her enough to handle it ”in house”, the answer was yes. I'd trust that woman with my life. But that's another story. </p>
<p>I was allowed to finish my day ”off site” (I waited it out in Bri's unit). And i've been told a couple different versions of what happened next to him, but they're all vastly different. And honestly, I don't know what really happened, but again I trusted my commander.</p>
<p>... That was 6  years ago.<br>
Since then our unit was disbanded, we went our separate ways, and I rarely if ever thought about the whole ordeal.</p>
<p>... Until 4 months ago when I hear he's coming into one of our sister units. Not in my unit or on my drill weekend, but still too close.</p>
<p>I had a minor(::cough::major::cough::) freak out and went to have a one on one chat with my chief. He is someone who I trust very much. Again, I was asked what I wanted to happen. I told him 1) I just needed to vent to someone I trust and leery them know the situation 2) I just want him to know that I reserve the right to nit work with him if I at any time feel uncomfortable. But I would be polite, respectful, and keep my fucking distance. </p>
<p>The reason this was brought back up  is because I'm out of town doing am inspection in another state. I knew that the sister squadrons were here, but again I didn't really think about him. Till I walked outside and there he was. </p>
<p>I'll never feel comfortable around him. I'll never willing go someplace that i'm sure he will be. But I am NOT found to let him ruin my trip, my training, or my reputation. </p>
<p>But I do get sick pleasure in knowing that in the 6 years that have passed, he has not been promoted once, the people he last worked with were ”happy to be rid of him” (their words not mine), and he is currently assigned to the section that I know like the back of my hand and know that it'd we are forced ro participate in the same event, I'd be in the position of power, not him.</p>
<p>Again, I will move passed the past and continue doing what I'm doing... But, I'm still wish I never had to see him ever ever fucking ever again...</p>

<br />
<br />
Now for the "living with an infected finger" story. Sounds riveting right? No? I knew it.<br />
But i'm going to tell you anyways.<br />
<br />
<br />
So after my long and frustrating appointment with Dr.Douche. I
came home and talked with B (in case you haven't heard he's an RN) I
tend to trust his opinion over almost anyone when it comes to most
things, including my finger.<br />
<br />
<br />
So with the pain and swelling and the obvious pp (puss pocket) on my finger. We (me) decided to open it. And so, we did.<br />
B boiled some new clippers. I soaked my finger and held super still and cut it open. and FUCK did that hurt.<br />
B
then proceeded to "milk" my finger. he pushed on the hole finger as I
had it in a soak (hot water and Epsom salt).... while I bawled into a
towel. It wasn't the most pleasant experience, but it did get a lot of
"nastiness" out of my finger.<br />
<br />
TMI ALERT: when he came to
take my finger out of the soak and bandage it up there was a "goo-clot"
of blood and puss half in half out of the cut.<br />
<br />
<br />
So that all happened on Tuesday.<br />
<br />
<br />
Today is Friday. <br />
<br />
<br />
My 'cut' is better. but I'm still really swollen. I still can't bend my finger.<br />
My elbow and shoulder are beginning to hurt<br />
my finger throbs....<br />
it hurts...<br />
I'm not better.<br />
this shit sucks.<br />
all from a fucking hang nail. lol. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

(Part I)<br />
So last Thursday I had a hangnail on my left index finger.<br />
<br />
Friday I woke up and my finger was huge!<br />
<br />
I
showed B and we thought it was just a spider bite. I normally have bad
BAD reactions to bug bites, and I do get bit a LOT. I thought nothing of the hang
nail.<br />
<br />
So, I took Ibuprofen and benadryl and on Saturday it seemed to be getting better.<br />
<br />
Monday
I woke up and my finger had doubled in size from Friday and was SO painful. It was now red and warm with a little white patch near the nail bed. The swelling had now moved down to my whole finger and across the knuckles. I took my wedding ring off because I was worried about the sudden swelling. <br />
I
took benadryl and ibuprofen again just in case. I showed B when he got up (hes been working nights). He told
me it looked infected and to call the doc in the morning.<br />
<br />
So I did.<br />
I called at 8 talked to the tech, who took notes and told me there were no open appointments and to stay by the phone cause the nurse would be calling me soon.<br />
At 1045 the nurse called, asked more questions and told me there was an opening at 1520 with Dr.C (he's the mean doc I have talked about before dealing with my migraines). I said sure, I'm just desperate for relief.<br />
<br />
I go in and wait....<br />
1540 I finally go back to the room.<br />
P.S. there was NO ONE in the waiting room.<br />
1600 the doc finally comes in.<br />
<br />
He looks at my finger and says, "Yeah, It looks infected [really, dude. no shit]. I don't think it needs to be drained yet, but we should [what?]. Okay, I'll be right back." and leaves.<br />
<br />
1610 he comes back in and says he had to finish with the patient across the hall and would be right back <br />
1613 the nurse comes back in starts loading the tray with sterile pads, scalpels, band-aids, etc. [wtf!]<br />
1620 he comes back in and says to me, "Well, I don't really want to take the time to numb your finger fully [yup, he said that], so we only have the topical spray. Or we can just try to soak it more often and try to press it with a q-tip to open it!"<br />
<br />
Needless to say, I went with option B.<br />
He prescribes antibiotics and Motrin. The Doc said "if that doesn't stop the pain, call and we'll adjust it".<br />
HERE'S THE NEWS DOC, ITS NOT WORKING!!!!<br />
<br />
So, I'll call (again) in the morning. this sucks.<br />
<br />
Part 2 coming soon... <br />

After a really long time of no pain, or at least minimal pain. I feel like I have had this one for so long I've lost track.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Its now 1:30 am<br />
<br />
I'm nauseous from the pain. I told B that my dinner might make a 're-appearance'. <br />
<br />I even got a nice relaxing massage today.<br />
<br />
<br />
ugh.<br />
This shit is getting ridiculous. <br />
<br />
So tonight i'm sipping on sprite, rocking an ice pack on my neck and on my forehead and a heating pad on my calves.<br />
<br />
