My husband's cat got into a fight on Friday, and we didn't notice until late Friday night. His ear and the area behind it were torn up. He was missing a ton of fur, and there was a lot of blood involved. So he had an emergency trip to the vet Saturday morning, he's been on medication, and he needs to stay inside for two weeks. He was pretty doped up from all the medication, so he didn't really notice until last night that he's confined to the house. Combined with the extreme heat (100 degrees outside, 90 degrees inside until we turned on the AC), the situation caused him to spend the night wandering the house, yowling. Needless to say, I didn't sleep well, which really sucks since I have an interview this afternoon. I won't mind too much if I don't get the job, since it's not THAT much better than the job I have right now, but a little pay bump would be nice. And it comes with a corner cube with a great view.
I bought new pants for the interview, and for work in general. It's gotten to the point where I can't fit into my pants anymore. I try to eat healthfully, but with a full-time job, a commute, a new house, a husband that doesn't always like to pitch in, and 5 pets, I'm overwhelmed. On top of that, I have no time for exercising (I used to exercise every day). In addition to the weight gain, my joints are starting to feel old and creaky, and my muscles have atrophied. I'm getting tired of people telling me I look fine, though. I obviously don't. What's happening to me right now is NOT healthy. I'm hoping once our house is a bit more settled (and we're getting closer all the time!), I'll have time to exercise more.
My husband and I have decided to DTD (do the deed, one of the few baby-making euphemisms that doesn't bother me) every other day until I'm pretty sure I've ovulated. We've decided not to do ovulation testing anymore, since it just makes me cranky. I have injection training next Monday. I'm not looking forward to it. I'm terrified of needles. I've gotten used to having blood drawn and getting shots, but I can't watch it being done, and I'm grateful that it's not too frequent of an occurrence. But the thought of having to give myself shots, which I imagine would require me actually looking, and doing them every day if not multiple times a day is horrifying to me.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we can get pregnant naturally this month.
So sorry about kitty! Hoping he is all better soon. And that you get pregnant this cycle, of course! I am sick of ovulation testing too - between that and temping I feel like every morning is a damn science experiment.
