I feel like I have so much going on between now and the rest of the month. My SIL's wedding is fast approaching and I still haven't figured out what I am wearing. I may go out this weekend and shop around. I was all ready to RTR but was super annoyed when they tried to charge me $35 for shipping.

I've never used them before but $35 for shipping is insane! Especially when it's not something you're even going to be keeping.

At work. Stayed up way too late last night so I'm trying not to fall asleep at my desk. Should have taken a GoT recovery day.
There's so many work things going on right now that I'm not interested in doing lol. And tomorrow I'm supposed to review my goals with my boss. That'll be fun.
I need to take a vacation. Our 10 year anniversary is coming up so we were talking about doing something. Just don't know what yet.

Apparently a Saturday delivery costs $35 when other days are cheaper. But I had no choice because of Memorial Day! The post office isn't open on that Monday so I had to do saturday-tuesday instead of friday-monday like I originally wanted!

Like a Friday-Tuesday should have been an option.

Well that’s annoying about the shipping.
I have never tried RTR and I love the idea, but I’m trying to figure out how I would be able to commit to a dress just based on pictures. As it is, when I go shopping in a store, I could grab 10 dresses that I like on the hanger and then not like any of them on my body. I must be picky. Are there good review a that detail how it looks on certain body types? Maybe that would help me.

I have to try on a million different things before I can find something that I'm happy with, usually.

There are usually a ton of reviews about how it fits and if you need to size up or down or whatever. People also posts pictures of themselves in the dress and list their height, weight, body type etc. You also get a free size as well. So you can get a 6 and 8 for example in the same dress.

I attempted to talk to DH yesterday. He behaved exactly as expected (dug in and got defensive) then proceeded to act like a complete asshole to me in front of my family when we saw them that evening, like I thought my mom's eyes were gonna pop right out of her head. He's half acting like everything is fine today. But I'm angrier than before. So I wrote him an email describing exactly why I'm hurt and everything he did to make it worse, and also explained that this is the way he gets on anytime I try to tell him he hurt my feelings. He hasn't read it yet. So we'll see.

danib, I write emails too! Maybe he can “hear” you better by reading it. It gives him time to go off, but he can reread it and figure out where you can fall in the middle. Whereas in a discussion, he probably goes on the defensive right away and then holds to it!

I'm sorry danib. I hope when he's able to read it he will understand a little more your feelings. Sometimes it's better to read something written out than to hear it verbally.

I received an email from the immunologist.
Bottom line - Hayden's ear tubes are likely colonized and will need to come out/be replaced. I've seen this many a time and oral/ear drop antibiotics will not clear this situation without removing the tubes. In this situation, the tubes lead to reaccumulation of bacteria until removed. I am reaching out to Dr. Albright to see about his thoughts.
Then I got another email after he spoke to H's ENT.
I expressed my concern and he understands the need to remove the tubes. My hope is that this will take care of everything. If it appears that Hayden has pus in the middle ear when Dr. Albright removes the tubes, I will recommend one more course of antibiotics to clear the ears. Following that, given his largely normal immune evaluation, I expect Hayden to do well.

He seems VERY confident. I mean I like his positivity but damn, what if that doesn't fix everything?

Hiiii. It's raining and freezing here and I feel like we'll never see the sun again. I mean, its the middle of may and we still have the heat on in our house. This is ridiculous. The cabin fever is at an all time high.

I'm not sure yet. Why has this never been discussed before? Is there a way to find out if this is actually the case before removing them? I have lots of questions. I left a msg for the ENT. Not sure if I'll hear back from them today since he's in surgery all day Tuesdays.

So.. Things got really bad between me and DH for a minute. He did some serious twisting and stretching trying to dimish my point of view and avoid admitting he did anything wrong. Even after reading the email (which was like 6 paragraphs of me telling him exactly what I was upset about and why, and how he refuses to listen to me when I'm upset because he's too focused on having a come-back and trying to make it not his fault), he still tried to say that I was mad that he cooked his mom supper. I pretty much lost my shit. Cooking for his mom isn't the issue. How he treated me when I told him my feelings were hurt is the issue. And I spelled that out for him very clearly if he had bothered to listen or read. Anyway things got pretty ugly. It got to the point I told him if my husband isn't even able to say "I'm sorry, I didn't mean for you to feel that way" and I can't say "my feelings are hurt" without him lashing out at me and trying to manipulate the situation to make me seem like the bad guy, then he can pack his bags because I'm done with it. It was only after tjis that he stopped with the defensiveness and arguing and actually tried to understand what was upsetting me (and apologized). Guys he really is an awesome husband and father 99% of the time. But we go through this same song and dance any time he messes up. Something really tiny and minor ends up being a massive fight because he refuses to acknowledge that he messed up and instead tries to argue his way out of it. We had a good talk and we're OKish. But I told him he needs to change how he responds to me because I'm not doing it anymore.

The ENT's nurse called me back. She.....was not helpful. All she said was that there have been previous cases where they've replaced the tubes and it was effective. She couldn't answer any of my questions and didn't even know that the immunologist had spoken to the Dr. She'll call back after she talks to the dr.

I’m sorry danib. I’m glad you guys were able to talk it out though! My H is the same way. He’s so stubborn and can never admit he’s wrong or apologize. I wish they would see things from our perspectives. It would save a lot of time and headaches.

Oh man tgrimes, the hits keep coming. I hope this is the solution the dr seem to think it is, and I hope he's able to give you answers to your (incredidibly valid) questions. danib I'm sorry. I hope he's able to understand that just saying "I'm sorry I hurt your feelings", etc is what you need from him.
