My co-worker bought me this cute little duck tea infuser to replace my ADORABLE pink pig tea infuser that she apparently “threw out” one day while she was cleaning out the Fun Drawer. The Fun Drawer at work is the top drawer of the file cabinet, where all the chocolate/salty snacks/teas/coffees are kept. It is constantly replenished, and often a major downfall to my otherwise healthy eating day. Heigh ho!

Speaking of healthy eating, I became ridiculously constipated this week, and as I watched my daily weight rise, I became correspondingly despondent over our weight loss competition. I decided I gave ZERO fucks, and threw in the towel. That day I ate 4 donuts. I mean, spread out over the course of the day, but still. Weight gain for 4 donuts: two pounds.

Meanwhile, my idiotic husband decides to pump up his desire to move his BMI into the “normal” category by going without eating and drinking water the day before his physical. He did, however, decide to drink a couple of shots. His body “rewarded” him with lots of vomiting. He actually called in sick yesterday to work. What a loser!

He did, of course, manage to make it across town for his physical, where he STILL weighed in at 3 pounds above “normal”. The BMI is a bullshit indicator of health that our insurance company still uses to reward/punish us.

I had my physical earlier in the week, and because they measured me at 5 foot 8, I barely scraped by into the “normal” BMI category. Baaaaarely.

Maggie’s hedgehog toy is dead.

Come to think of it, this was actually Bear Cub’s Christmas present, but she doesn’t play with toys. Not like this wild animal!

Me a week ago, flaunting the only two good things about weight gain.

I need to get back to running again. The sloth lately ain’t doing me any favors.

At my favorite Goodwill store, I found Joshy ski boots for only 29 bucks!

This guy has been waiting for me to add glitter to it allllll week.

It’s been raining like crazy lately.

During the non-heavy-rain afternoons, we go for our daily walk.

I lost 4 Instagram followers when I posted this picture. Worth it!

Looking on the bright side of things!

Have you seen the new “X-Files”? It’s gooood. They will be doing 6 new episodes, every Monday night. You should watch it.

According to Josh, Maggie chewed this up last night. Typical.

Tomorrow night we’ll be kicking off my 10 days of hormone injections! 3,000 dollars worth of hormones, that arrived in a GIANT box. So many syringes, siiiiigh. The effects are supposed to mimic pregnancy, so I’ll be sure to pipe up next week to let this blog know how it feels, bwa ha haaaaa.

I was complaining about the side effects of the birth control pill–like the non-stop bleeding and period-like cramping, and my fertility doctor did say that people complain more about the Pill side effects than the hormone side effects…so that’s good. Because the Pill SUCKED.

Last night I forced Karen Carpenter to go out to Thai food with me. He whined a lot about his stomach hurting on the way there (I ignored him), but once we started eating he felt better. I made him promise me that he would never starve himself again. ANNOYING. Catch ya later!
