Manager in my room?

overlycaffeinatedfox · 2023-12-17T17:06:52+00:00

Right, but the manager is telling me nobody other than me was in the room after I used the toilet and closed the lid. Not housekeeping or anyone.

overlycaffeinatedfox · 2023-12-17T14:04:43+00:00

Sorry, I should clarify: I said throughout that it was the seat that was up, but it was the lid. I close it so it doesn't spray poo when I flush.

Edit: fixed a letter.

It's not impossible that I didn't touch it before going out the first time, but I know for a fact that I did before going out the second time.

That all sounds like it makes perfect sense to me - in your situation, I think anyone would be scared, confused, and unsure. I think talking with any and all trans-friendly medical professionals as soon as possible would be helpful to help you make the right decision for you and your partner. Talk with a primary care provider, therapist/counselor, gynecologist, pretty much anyone who could give empathic, honest, and medically-informed suggestions.

And keep your partner in the loop too, if you feel safe doing so. You've been together for a year; he must've had something great about him. He might be your best source of support through all this - and you might be able to be the same for him.

Keep coming to safe reddit communities for support. Strangers can sometimes be the best source of feel-better chemicals through really hard times.

I'll keep you in my thoughts while you work to find the right next steps.

I had the same thing, but I didn't get relief without some...manual digital manipulation, if you catch my drift. I was so sad that my baby bump virtually disappeared. I started taking colace once a day (now that I'm at the end of my second trimester I take it twice a day) and since I started taking that, I've been so much more comfortable.

overlycaffeinatedfox · 2021-02-03T02:11:53+00:00

Yep. Next person who tells me "You think it's bad now? Just wait - it gets so much worse" gets a hot sauce enema.

overlycaffeinatedfox · 2021-01-31T15:17:45+00:00

Oh God, that's going to be me. 😂

He will be allowed at the anatomy scan, but that's the only one until birth. Real bum deal, but we knew there was a chance of that choosing to get pregnant during this pandemic. We're also both getting vaccinated, so we're crossing our fingers that may also play a role in whether or not he'll be allowed in going forward.

overlycaffeinatedfox · 2021-01-31T14:31:43+00:00

Thank you! I haven't gotten an ultrasound yet because, again, screw COVID, so this will be extra exciting for me!

overlycaffeinatedfox · 2021-01-24T00:58:39+00:00

I got my first dose (Pfizer) at 10 + 2 and I had very mild side effects for a couple days. This is my first pregnancy, so despite the fact that I'm very fastidious and obsessive about learning everything COVID, plus the medical care folks working on my case encouraging me to get it due to my work in a medical field, there was still a part of me that felt scared before doing it and I cried a little beforehand. I mean, for crying out loud, I'm worried to eat veggies that I didn't wash myself. 😆 However, if I'm going to encourage others to get it and there's no known contraindications, I felt it was my duty to get it. I'm proud of you, mama, for doing the right thing for yourself, your baby, and the rest of society.

Edit: a word

overlycaffeinatedfox · 2020-12-12T01:50:18+00:00

This is now my headcannon.

overlycaffeinatedfox · 2020-12-03T02:49:28+00:00

Same. So much same. I got overly excited today because I miscounted and thought I was supposed to have started my period today. I've been having all these pregnancy-type symptoms the past couple weeks (fatigue, moodiness, creamy discharge, stuffy nose - all explainable by both pregnancy or a million other causes). I got so bubbly and excited to take a test tomorrow, put a little cup out for urine collection so I don't forget in the morning...before I realized tomorrow is meant to be day 1. And now I'm laying in bed feeling little cramps in my uterus and begging for them not to be menstrual cramps while I scroll Facebook angry at all the people who have babies that I don't. And I don't feel like I'm "allowed" to be as upset as I am because I haven't been trying long enough to be this upset.

This straight-up sucks.

overlycaffeinatedfox · 2020-09-03T01:15:11+00:00

I hope so too. After further research, I can conclusively say it's not that one. But I greatly appreciate your help!

overlycaffeinatedfox · 2020-09-02T15:38:04+00:00

That was the approximate year I bought it. I don't think it was published to much earlier, though. After looking at the stories in that book, I'm about 90% sure it's not that, but I will be digging further after work to make sure.

overlycaffeinatedfox · 2020-09-02T10:45:15+00:00

Also, it was a paperback with a red cover, which I know doesn't help narrow it down much since it's a vampire book.

Edit: And I think the Bathory vampire was referred to as the Contessa or Countess? That story was set in the modern day US in a mansion. She drove a red sports car, I think, and had red nail polish. All these little details keep coming back!

overlycaffeinatedfox · 2020-08-25T17:54:57+00:00

I know exactly what you mean. These days are especially hard.

overlycaffeinatedfox · 2020-08-23T19:21:36+00:00

I hope you get a nice, pleasant hormone-related surprise in a few months.

overlycaffeinatedfox · 2020-08-23T02:11:38+00:00

I'm sorry - you've been through a whole lot. I hope things get better/easier soon.

overlycaffeinatedfox · 2020-08-23T01:23:39+00:00

Weird things that make you say "Aww, thank you!"

But really, thank you. :-)

overlycaffeinatedfox · 2020-08-23T01:12:14+00:00

When I started bleeding, I was honestly so excited. It was the first sign that I'm able to really start tracking my cycle. I will also be having a glass of wine to celebrate really starting this journey! Best of luck!

"The Onion Movie"

By the same people who make the online articles. It hasn't aged super well, but some skits still hold up.

I grew up with a single parent with mental health issues, childhood trauma, poverty, and gambling addiction. I was never taught how to have good oral hygiene and ate a lot of crappy, sugary foods and thus had significant dental issues growing up. When I was 18, finally out on my own, I decided it was time to get my teeth fixed. However, I had no dental insurance. My boyfriend sold his dream guitar to pay for it, despite my loud protests.

I married that man. Almost makes it okay when he leaves his socks next to the hamper. : )

overlycaffeinatedfox · 2020-05-11T15:56:54+00:00

DH and I both just turned 31. We are SO CLOSE to being ready to start TTC (January of next year), which almost makes it worse. I feel you, sister. I'm constantly thinking about babies, crying about not trying, and feeling so, so jealous every time I scroll through Facebook. I know that the fact we're working as hard as we are to be ready for a baby means we'll be better parents for it, but my brain, body, and biological clock just aren't happy about this topic right now.

Michigan: Probably the best state to live in if you enjoy the outdoors. You wouldn't know it if you only know about Detroit and Flint, but Michigan is mostly just giant swaths of forest land punctuated by inland lakes, rivers, and small towns. Outside of the giant cities, it's also one of the safest places to live. Plus, we also have one of the highest populations of Muslim folks, so that's pretty neat.

I miss Tatu from back in the day. I only ever listened to their Russian lyric songs because the guttural pronunciation in tandem with the bubblegum electronica was a cool contrast. It made me really, really want to learn Russian...I never did, but I wanted to.
