Embracing TMI Thursday

I'm jumping on the TMI wagon since I now have a funny story to share.

Plus, I'm really bored at work.

Okay. I was in the RR on one of my trips (well, this one was more of a sprint, I waited just a liiiiittle too long!) just a few minutes ago, and one other person was already in there. This person had obviously eaten something they shouldn't have. I would have left and come back later if I wasn't about to pee my pants.

Anyway, since it's TMI Thursday I'm going to give you every filthy detail as best I can.

At first all was quiet when I went in. I settled myself in the first stall (one buffer stall away from the offender) and went about my business. Then the gas started. HOLY COW. This type of farting I've only ever heard before on movies like Austin Powers. Okay, take a deep breath, stick out your tongue and blow raspberries with one breath for as long as you can, as loud as you can. That is what it sounded like. Over and over again, the ENTIRE time I was in there, until (and most likely after) I left. I'm telling you, it was so loud! Seriously, I was thinking, "could this be a joke??" The BM was not quite as noisy, but it was just as nasty. Like bad burrito nasty. And this person had no shame! I was amazed. I'm just glad I didn't smell anything.

I finished up and got out of there as fast as I could. To give you an idea of how loud it was, the flushing of my toilet (and these toilets are the kind with the power flushers) wasn't nearly enough to drown out the sound of the farting. I'm not kidding. I was trying SO HARD not to laugh the whole time. It was terrible. But oh so hilarious at the same time.

Ahh... I'm still kind of giggling.

On the one hand, I'm totally grossed out that someone would just cruise on into the company RR and let loose without shame (at 'rush hour' no less). But on the other hand, I'm utterly impressed by the balls it takes to do that! I'm the kind of person that will sit there in major discomfort, holding it until everyone has left, and I wishing I didn't care. I think deep down I aspire to achieve that level of self-confidence.

Maybe someday.

I'm not worthy!

Man, I knew you ladies were supportive, but wow!! I did not expect such empathy for my silly problems, I'm overwhelmed. You're all amazing. Thank you so much :)

I'm feeling LOTS better today. More moisture, less itching, hazaah! I'm a tiny bit concerned that my CM is still yellowish, but it is not like the consistency of BV discharge, so guess I'll just wait and see. Thanks for the green tea advice, by the way! I've been downing it in addition to all the water and acidophilus. No one has asked me about my frequent trips to the RR yet, but my hands are definitely paying the consequences - they're sooooo dry from all the washing!

Okay I've had enough of my whining and I'm sure you have too.

It was my niece's 12th birthday yesterday and like all the girls in my family do at age 12, she got her ears pierced. So I bought her some earrings, and can I just say the styles out now are identical to the kinds I wore when I was 12! I was cracking up. But it does kinda make things easier when I'm shopping for her. I just think, "What was popular when I was that age?" and I'm pretty much guaranteed to pick a winner. Well, this year anyway. Next year I'll probably go back to being clueless.

The much-anticipated vagina update

First off - thanks everyone for their hugs and comments. You guys really are amazing, don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise!!

Now, I know you were waiting with bated breath, so here it is. You may exhale. ;)

Doc says it's definitely not yeast, could be BV, but that he doesn't like giving antibiotics for mild cases. He did give me an rx, but suggested I try a vinegar and water d***he (I hate that word) one time, then to take acidophilus every day. If I still feel crummy, then I should fill the rx.

So I took his advice, very carefully made the solution myself (no Sum.mer's Ev.e for me thanks). And OMG. It frigging dried me out!! I woke up at 4:30 a.m. itching like CRAZY. Checked and there's hardly any CM or discharge at all. So I popped a Clar.itin for the itch and have been guzzling water, which sometimes helps with the moisture issue. At the moment I'm feeling somewhat better (knock on wood), but I am so paranoid that I screwed myself up even worse now... Oi...

So needless to say, we haven't been too actively TTC this month. I think we BDed a total of 3 times. Whatever. Hubs is extremely understanding of this stuff, thank goodness. I feel like we wasted a cycle, but at the same time I almost don't care either. It's weird. I have many thoughts on this that will have to wait for another time.

Hope everyone is having a good hump day. Only 2 more days until the weekend!
