Jenn: Nice work escaping the attempt to squash your shopping. I failed in my attempt to make brownies last night. I'm thinking it will be my reward for cleaning the house this afternoon
Amy: sooo... what is the verdict on your spleen and liver??? I always found it odd when acu would say something about how my kidneys or liver were "off". D*mn it woman... just fix my ovaries
When are you getting started again?
Ok ladies... lots of news today. As Fee's office drama has nodded off a bit for now, I feel responsible for continuing some drama around here. Luckily The ******* has obliged. We received a letter from him yesterday. Now l'm not sure what I have told you, if anything about him lately... but mil refuses to take his phone calls (FINALLY she has grown a backbone
!!!!) b/c he is very good at maniuplating her into sending him money and she doesn't want to do it anymore. She says she will speak to him only after receiving letters showing significant changes. ANYWAY... fil has taken his calls for legal help and money and essentially told him he is on his own.
SOOOO... to the letter. He started off pretty well... you know, sorry for the horrible things I did, blah, blah blah. He says he "really" planned on paying off the car and "selling it back to himself" once he got a loan on it so we would never know and it would never ruin our credit. Ummmm. yeah. I think he just likes to think he would have done so. He says he bought the car since he needed a REALLY nice car in order to get into the expensive gated communities in town and STEAL PEOPLE'S MONEY. Oh, well, in that case, then I don't mind at all... clearly he had a good reason
. No explanation on the credit cards and bank accounts he opened, nor on the transfers from our bank account and credit cards, nor the change of address with the Post Office. dh says he wouldn't mention those since he hasn't been charged yet and the mail is monitored. He talked a little about feeling terrible for hurting dh when he has always been good to him. And how he has screwed up his life. Whatever. Anyway... the whole letter, although showing a little remorse, is really a "woe is me" letter. How bad it is in there... He is "starving" apparently and needs money to buy ramen noodles and candy bars-- clearly a basic essential
. He says without shower shoes he has to walk on other men's cum. (ewwww!) He is angry his parents won't give him money to get shower shoes, more food, another pillow, etc (as you can imagine, our hearts are bleeding...). FIL told him that he must like it in there since he keeps returning
. The ******* is really angry about that--- I think it is hilarious he is so pissed off about it b/c its true!!! Get this, he had the gall to ask us to send him money-- "only $200". Yep, apparently the $50,000 car, and the several thousand he actually got from us isn't enough... he needs candy bars for heavens sake!!!!
All right... despite my little rant above... after reading the letter aloud to dh I was sooooo sad. I cried a little and hugged dh. The whole situation is sad and pitiful. I don't like hearing how much he hates being in there. I don't like hearing how hard it is and how bad he feels about everything he has done and the bridges he has burned with the family. I am the kind of person that likes to please people and hates to disappoint them. But we won't be sending him money (although I keep thinking $20 for shower shoes wouldn't be so bad... but it would probably go to cigarettes anyway--- I know, I know, it is a good thing dh has said absolutely NOT). I am glad to hear that he is apologizing for at least some of the chaos he caused in our lives and feels badly about it... but the letter left a bad taste in my mouth since the entire last page was about how horrible it is no one is sending him money. ANYWAY...
As for my cycle (oh yes, this is an infertility forum, isn't it????
), I had my baseline dildocam this am. I got good news--- but IVF has now ruined me. Whenever I get good news it always comes with the caveat I say to myself--- "but we'll see what the bloodwork/next us/thaw shows". But here goes... I have 23 antrals. Yep. nice, huh? Now I will just hope that these buggers actually respond. Waiting for the bloodwork today. I am glad that I seem to have a decent (ok, fabulous!) number of follicles this month, but I won't really get excited unless my bw on Sunday shows things are cookin' in there.
blah blah blah... you actually read the whole d*mn thing? Impressive
