Well even though I was released to go back to work next Wednesday on the 30th, the schedule is covered for the last half of the week at work. After some unnecessary stressing and a mostly sleepless night I spoke to my manager yesterday and we decided I'd use a couple of vacation days and take all of next week off as well and start back to work on the 3rd. I've been really sore the last few days so the extra rest will be good.
I am now the proud owner of my very own Costco card. In my own name and everything. I'll figure out a way to let mom know she no longer has to pay for my account and it's sort of a nice feeling to have finally cut that string. I'm also an owner to a new and expensive vacuum bought on my own membership since mine seems to have died last night. Funny that there was a rep from Dyson at Costco today and I asked about what quit working. She said yes it was fixable, likely would cost about 150-200 to fix. On a nearly 6 year old vacuum. When I could get a brand new one for 389. Now my goal is to not suck up any socks or puppy potty pads which I think led to the early demise of previous vacuum.
I also finally found a pair of jeans that mostly fits. That said it would probably be good to find someone who can do alterations. Now with my flatter stomach I find that the pants that fit in the thighs and ass are way to big in the stomach. I've been to so many stores the last week trying to find pants that I like how they fit with no success. Finally today I went to the larger women's store. Their sizes only go down to a 14 so I wasn't sure if they would fit but they did. Still a little baggy in the front but mostly ok. They are actually roomier in the thighs which is nice. Plus I really like the styles with a little bling on them but lets face it, I can't pull off true skinny jeans at all and the low ride style isn't my favorite. I did try some of the low rise pants on but I could tell they would drive me crazy. I'd end up spending all of my time trying to pull my pants up or trying to cover my ass crack every time I bent over or sat down. No thanks. Another up side is that I had discovered the larger ladies store also had boots that fit my insanely large calves. I love boots and yet never can find any that will go around my calves. Now I've found them. Granted I didn't buy them today as I was already spending way to much money and spring is on it's way but hey, next year I know where to look.
I was reading another blog post tonight that talked about her period being a constant reminder of her inability to conceive. I related so much to this as my period and the whole cervical mucous indicating possible ovulation felt like my body mocking me every month. To some extent this was a factor in my seeking a hysterectomy. It wasn't the only factor. I did have health reasons as well but to me it was also a mental health reason. It has been so nice to not have to deal with all of that the last couple of months and to not wonder if there will be some long term effects from all the fertility medications.
The rest of my week has been fairly uneventful. Uneventful is good though and I'll take it.

Congratulations on working on that extension so you have more time to heal. So important.
Have you tried LLBean jeans? Maybe wouldn't work either, but a friend suggested it to me when Gap was sitting strangely on my body and LL Bean's curvy line fit so much better. It was a store I had never considered insofar as jeans.
