...... ok..... so I didn't think it was really going to be much of a storm, but it was enough to have a 2 hour delay of work. It was so nice to sleep in. I like taking my time to get ready for work/my day without having to rush. And the roads were not bad at all, like my previous post.
How was your weekend? I always have such high hopes of getting so much accomplished, then it never happens. Friday I stayed "late" at work and by late, I mean staying till 5:00. Its still kind of weird for me to say that staying till 5:00pm is late.
Just a few short months ago I was working a job that was soo horrible I can not imagine how my life would have been like had I stayed there longer than I did. You've heard of micromanagement right? Well I had the nazi version of that for a manager.
That place really made me go crazy. So I now work for a local county government that got some global attention last week, and it was HILARIOUS. Check out the #kirbydelauter story. So, these county ladies are serious about their time, and they all leave 4:00 on.the.dot. So when I stay till 5:00 its a ghost town around here, and I'm usually the last to leave. I'm trying to beef up my comp time, because our protocol is kind of around the corner, and I'm going to need to use time off, but I don't want to use any sick leave or vacation. This is because I am a rather new employee and don't have much time ACCRUED. (If its one thing I did learn from my last job, its how to spell accrued haha!). So if I were to get pregnant the 1st cycle, then I would need as much time as possible to supplement a full paycheck from short term disability (i.e. maternity leave).
Back to my weekend, friday night was a good night. I have 2 more cycles left to try on my own. And friday night was a "try" night *wink*. Saturday was cleaning.. and then I had to work my second job till 10pm. My DH couldn't stay awake, so no trying. Sunday was a "blah" day.. didn't do much of anything, and to top it off DH and I got on each others nerves and had a small tiff of a fight and didn't "try" that night either.. tonight is the last night of trying and I'm determined to do it! Pun intended.
I just emailed my nurse to see when I should schedule my follow up apt to order the drugs, etc & I also want to meet with the finance coordinator. I want to make sure I understand every penny that I'll be putting out. I may have said this before, or in my other blog; insurance is covering this at 95% which is pretty gosh darn amazing and I'm so lucky and blessed to have this coverage. But, I'm not sure what that 5% means for me. So, if the drugs, etc will cost upwards of 3,000 (from what I've been researching, I could be totally wrong) then that 5% means 150.00+co pays at every monitoring+blood work cost's+gas to get to&from. So all of that, for each cycle. From what I understand, we're only doing 2 medicated cycles, then 2 IUI's then IVF. Insurance wont cover the freezing & storage, so there's about 2,000 out of pocket too. And of course this is all before baby! whew! Kind of intense.
Assuming my thyroid levels have.. leveled out I'm tentatively going to be starting my protocol Feb 20th. I cant help but think how these last 3 months have really flown by, and continue to do so!
With that said, I don't have much else going on. I hope to start a workout regime soon. I'm doing quite well on this low carb lifestyle change and have already lost 8lbs. I have a fitbit, perhaps I could actually take it seriously and get in 10,000 steps.
