Crap, not pregnant. Hopefully Paul won't be outta town when I ovulate in May. I think we're going to take a break from the fertility clinic for a while and try on our own again. It feels like every time we try with them, they screw with my hormones and it doesn't work. I think I'm over the PCO hump to be honest. As long as I hold off weight gain and keep taking my metformin, I'll be fine.

I've been out of training though. My knees are killing me! They've been bad sense before I started Muay Thai. Last year I went to my orthopedist and he sent me to physical therapy. I learned the exercises and the knees got better, to where they only really hurt after a heavy workout. Well, I stopped the physical therapy and was doing great for a while. Then I got out of the habit of doing the kettle-bell work out...BAD BAD BAD! I think the kettle-bell was what was keeping those weak muscles in shape. Now I've got to start all over again with the physical therapy. :P Ooh well. I've not been 100% sense starting in the martial arts, but my knees are an ongoing issue and they frustrate me to no end!

I know I've mentioned having had a bad experience with a co-worker in the past. It's made me very sensitive to any kind of work place affetion. There's this older fellow at work. He's kinda slow and socially inept. He gives everybody the creeps. He sets off all my alarms without even having to open his mouth, then he insists on being over affectionate verbally. I mean, I don't mind hearing "you're a great employee," or "you have such positive energy, it's like a breath of fresh air," and such things. But when he says "Hey there, beautiful lady," or "There's my girl, that I adore," it's way over the top of what I'll tolerate. I know he doesn't mean anything creepy by it, but it freaks me out. He does it to the others, so it's not special treatment. My boss, John, to whom I am as close to as one professionally can be to their boss, got through a year and a half before he slipped and unknowingly called me "honey." Why can't this other guy address me by name alone? They've talked to him a little about it (on my behalf because I was too upset) in the past and he didn't do it for a while. He started up again last week and did it again today. I know I need to address the issue myself, talk to him directly. I'm not afraid of him, he's not going to retaliate. In fact I'm sure he'll be horrified that he upset me and probably worry about getting in trouble for harassment. The problem is that when he says those things to me it shoots me directly into my "red zone" and if I try to address the issue then, I'll only say awful horrible mean things to him. Then I'll get into trouble. John and I are supposed to have a meeting with him tomorrow about a project that we're all working on, so I may say something to him then. We'll see. It just pisses me off. :P

  1. Sorry about the negative test hun.

    Ok, your story about that guy gives me the creeps just reading about it. Ewwww..... I've had similar situations when I was working. One time an older guy (like 50s older) actually smacked my butt when he walked by. I almost had to leave work for the day I was so upset. I hope that telling him goes over well and you can be done with this once and for all.
