Settled Sort of And A Meme

Well, I am sort of settled in here. The movers showed up this morning and unloaded my trailer. Of course they had said they would be here between 10 and 11 and they showed up at 10:55. Then I paid $130 for a job that took them 20 minutes. They had an hourly rate and a minimum of 2 hours, granted I paid for one guy and got 2 which was nice but that was good money for them. I need to plan better and find a student or something when I leave here. I slept horribly last night. I couldn't fall asleep which I have been having a problem with lately. My brain would not shut off and I kept thinking of someone stealing my trailer or car and trailer etc. Then a couple times I was just drifting off to sleep and one of the damn cats (Luna I think) would jump into the kitchen window or down from the window and wake me up again. New sounds. So it was at least midnight. I was awake at 4 dreaming that for sure I heard someone driving down the driveway with my trailer. So up I get and go out with keys and phone in hand and dammit, if they did I'm chasing after them. All was still right where I left it and no problems. I went back to bed and managed to sleep until 8. Needless to say I was tired. And hungry. I had ordered pizza last night from d0minos which I don't care for but I didn't want to drive anywhere to get food with the trailer attached to the car and then have to deal with the parking again when I got back. So I only ate one piece last night (and all the cheesy bread) for dinner and then right before bed I ate one more piece (I even ate it cold since my microwave was still in the trailer and I hate cold pizza). This morning I couldn't stand the idea of more cold pizza and I had a few chips but really didn't eat. After the movers left I took the trailer back and then went to find a store to pick up a few things like an unused shower curtain. Turns out SB is much too good for stores like Wal*mart and Tar*get. The closest one is 25 miles away in Ven*tura. The only thing in the area is a kameapart and C0stc0 (thank goodness). I hate Kameapart. Their prices suck, nothing is in the right place and so nothing rings up right. I had at least 4 items ring up at a higher price then what the label said on the shelf. So, I may have found a cure for my shopping since I'm not going to be doing the 25 mile drive on a daily basis to go to Tar*get. By the time I left the store I was starving, had a horrible headache and just couldn't function any more. I stopped at su*bway and got a sandwich and came home and ate and fell asleep. I slept for like 2.5 hours and it was all I could do to wake up then. I hope I can sleep tonight. I am sort of partially unpacked. I'm totally out of space in my kitchen which is driving me nuts. My knees are still just killing me from all that up and down stairs stuff. Hope it gets better soon.
To answer everyones question, yes I start work tomorrow. But I have to do all the hospital orientation stuff so I will be working days for at least the next 2 days. I'm not sure but tomorrow might be a short day and then Tuesday is all day. Not sure when I actually go to nights and a regular schedule.
Now I had thought that I had managed to miss this one but noticed last night that I had been tagged so I will do that in a minute. Which reminds me, someone a couple weeks ago also posted on their blog one of the award things that I never noted on my blog. I can't even remember who. I'm sorry, it's not that I wasn't honored, just forgetful and I've had so much going on. I still have a post for Jenna over at Epiblog too about the 0prah show she was on. So, all that said, here is the meme
I was tagged by Kenya for the 6 things me:
1) Link to the person who tagged you
2) Post the rules.
3) Share six non-important things / habits / quirks about yourself.
4) Tag at least three people.
5) Make sure the people you tagged KNOW you tagged them by commenting what you did.

1. I am scared of natural gas. I dislike having a natural gas stove/oven or furnace unless they are very new. Crappy thing is that new apartment has old gas stove that I can always smell natural gas and I think I need some sort of lighter thing for. Shit.
2. I can't stand absolute quiet while I sleep (although it has to be pretty dark). I always have music playing while I sleep. If it's the radio I start to incorporate the songs or DJ's voices into my dreams so I usually have instrumental CD's that play continuously. This goes back to my mom making me paranoid and I don't like to hear this noises in the night.
3. When I was a kid (about 8 I think) I lived just south of Seattle (hence quite a bit of rain and therefore umbrellas) and I used to fantasize or pretend that I was Mary Poppins and the wind was going to take me and my umbrella away.
4. I was an only child until I was 10 when we adopted my 3 year old brother.
5. I once made out with a guy that I was crazy about in the tool room during a wood shop class.
6. The wood shop class was one my mom made me take as I had a cousin who had taken the class and had made some wonderful thing (I don't even remember what it was) for her mom. My mom was hoping I would build her something. Instead I was afraid to use the tools in front of the boys (I was the only girl and most of the boys treated me like shit) since I was afraid of looking stupid. It is the only class I ever flunked.
There, now I think most everyone has been tagged but hey, if you haven't been tagged, give it a go.

Hi there-
Thanks for your good thoughts.
I see that you've had a similar situation. With my Saturday (day 28) lab results, they saw that both my estrogen and progesterone were low. They supplemented both on Sunday and now I am waiting to see how I did. My clinic monitors both the estrogen, progesterone and beta.
Good luck to you as well. I don't know why they are making you wait so long for another beta.
I would call and ask to do all three (beta, prog, estrogen)-
