Clocking in at 10:40am, and yeast infections and pregnancy tests in section two.


James left for Alaska yesterday. It’s only been a day and a half but I miss him. I’m sad I was mad at him the night before he left. Unfortunately/fortunately, there is no phone service or internet where he is staying. Yesterday, my day consisted of cleaning the house, watching TV at my mom’s (due to us not having cable), taking out a foot and a half by 8 foot crochet blanket to start over, and watching Sweet Home Alabama. It wasn’t very eventful. Luckily today, I have work to busy me for 8 hours. A huge plus with James gone is that I can sleep in more. He wakes up at 7 every morning so normally I wake up with him and just get ready and go to work. Today, I rolled into work at 10:40am – go me.

James is on the right, with his dad in the middle and his brother on the right.

On Saturday, I saw a sweet orange tabby cat as I was leaving our condo. She ran right up to me and was running around with a collar bouncing with her hops. Today, there is a missing sign posted on our building for her. Poor kitty, I hope she comes home.


Warning, this next section will talk about yeast infections and pregnancy tests.

I feel like I have been on a plethora of antibiotics lately. First of all, I’m on one for acne which is doing quite well so there’s plus one.

Then I had a bloody bladder infection. Again. I now have to go and see a bladder specialist to make sure there isn’t anything wrong. Plus two.

Two weeks ago, I got a tetanus shot. I get them in my leg because it’s a bigger muscle to absorb such a harsh shot. (Maybe I’m crazy but I don’t feel it gets as sore.) It then got infected and became a huge hard golf ball on my quad. Then, my lymph nodes in my groin swelled, and I got a fever. Plus three.

Now, with all these antibiotics going on at once, my body welcomed a wonderful yeast infection. Oh the life of women and antibiotics. All itchy and uncomfortable... you know what I'm talking about.

Now I believe it was the third antibiotic that naturally made me nauseous for over a week and half. Which then made me think I was pregers. Even James was beginning to wonder if we’ve created a honeymoon baby.

When I went to buy the pregers test, I was casual and went to the female cashier. She had to ask me if she could bag the milk and the test in the same bag since the milk might leak on the test and mess it up. I told her I wasn't worried. She seemed at least partially sympathetic. 

Now I did it the easy way. You pee into a cup and then dip the test in. Much easier than trying to pee on the stick while magically controlling your body to stop after five seconds. Now it was negative, although a small part of me hoped I was positive. But the realistic part knew I wasn't.

I've now officially created a little kid board on my Pinterest - judge me or not but I'm excited to become a mom.

Two weeks and counting.. up.



James and I have been married for two weeks and one day.
I love him more every day.

He leaves drawers and cupboards open every chance he gets.
I follow him through each room and shut them all.

He gets frustrated that I don't have an organizing system for my mail.
I'll sit with him and go through it all.

Our married life isn't much different then when we were dating. 
After being together for over three and a half years,
we haven't gotten sick of each other yet.

I love coming home and having him there.
I love being able to fall asleep with him next to me.
I love the love.
