Watching the tests eagerly btw 
I saw hints of a line. Fx’d!
Cystic Fibrosis Info:
I should explain the cystic fibrosis (CF) issue. I don’t believe I ever told you guys about it. My little sister has been having pancreatitis bouts since the start of the school year, and she’s been in and out of the hospital. She had to go on multi-day fasts to control it. Every time she started eating again it would come back, she’d have excruciating pain and often have to go back to the hospital. They were very confused as to what was causing it. She had a sweat test done (which is a precursor test to CF testing) and it came back with moderately elevated chloride levels (sign of possible CF). They finally did extensive genetic testing and it turns out she has two very rare CF variants, one bad CF variant, and one very mild CF variant. You need two variants to have CF, otherwise you’re just a carrier. Since one is mild, she does not have full-blown CF, but rather, atypical CF, which often is asymptomatic until middle school to high school. She’s the 6th child to be missed by the newborn CF screening in the state of Massachusetts since it was instated in 1999. It’s been kinda crazy.
I actually had a sweat test done last summer before being referred to the surgeon for my rectal prolapse, because atypical CF can cause rectal prolapse (this was ages before my sister’s diagnosis), and the sweat test came back with normal chloride levels, aka it was negative. Anyway, my sister’s genetic results mean that both my mom and my dad each have one variant for CF, one has the bad one and one has the mild one, and using a basic Punnett square, there’s a 75% chance of me either being a carrier or having atypical CF. Now, based on my sweat test results, even if I had both variants I would not be diagnosed with atypical CF, but it’s likely I do not have both variants. So this leaves the chance of not being a carrier or carrying one or the other variants. Because of my rectal prolapse issue, my mom expects I’ll be a carrier for the bad CF gene, but we’ll find out soon enough. I have my appt at the genetics clinic on Wednesday. I assume they’ll be taking blood and talking to me about the testing and stuff. I think it takes a few weeks to get the results back, unfortunately.
If I am indeed a carrier for CF, my SO will have to get tested. While it is unlikely that he will also be a carrier, I do worry, because it was unlikely that both my parents would be carriers as well, a lot of things have been unlikely, so yeah. Chances are, he will not be a carrier. However. If he is, and we’re both carriers... we can’t TTC normally in the future. We’ll have to do sperm sorting and IUI. Otherwise there’d be a 25% chance of our kid having CF, and that’s not something we’d want to risk. Of course, chances are that he won’t be a carrier, and we’ll get to TTC like normal.
Moving on!
I started doing a 30 day exercise challenge, but being home for spring break has messed it up. Idk what it is about being home, but it sucks the motivation out of me. Back in my dorm I had no problem taking out my yoga mat and doing the exercise each night before bed. I’m doing sit ups, crunches, leg raises, planks, push-ups (terrible ones as I can’t do them tbh), squats, and lunges. I’m using a challenge app that tells me how many to do each day, so I’m increasing each day and having occasional rest days. I bought a Fitbit and I figure if I’m gonna have one I better exercise lol. Maybe if this challenge goes well I’ll get a gym membership, but I don’t want to spend the money, so I’m going slow on the whole thing.
I’m home for spring break until next Sunday. I hate being home honestly. I feel 15 again, and my parents make me do chores of course which for some reason bugs the shit out of me, like I don’t mind doing them at college, but I hate being told to do them in a house that doesn’t feel like my own. Idk it’s weird. Also my bed smells like cat pee because one of the cats peed on it multiple times last semester, and we haven’t been able to get the smell out so far. Ugh. I think it’s in the mattress, so it’ll likely never come out. That’s another reason I miss being at college. My mattress doesn’t smell like cat pee there. I also can go to Taco Bell at 1 am in college, but here I have to ask to go out. It’s frustrating not having the freedom to make my own stupid decisions lol. I can’t wait to go back, despite all the assignments I have due. I’m dreading summer break, I thought I’d love such a long break compared to the one I got growing up, but I just know I’m gonna hate it. I loved it when I was going home every afternoon, but now that I know what it’s like to live on my own... I told my mom that although I love them, I felt out of place at home and missed college, and she was surprisingly understanding. She said that it’s a normal part of growing up and leaving home, that this little town and this house, they’re too small for me, I don’t belong here or fit in here anymore (not in a mean way lol). I’m glad she understands how I’m feeling. I’ve talked to some college friends about it and most of them totally understand and relate. Idk. It’s weird. I can’t wait to have my own place to live in. We don’t have a curfew or anything at my college, but we can’t have alcohol in the halls and we can’t have boys in our rooms at night (although nobody follows the boy rule lol, SO has slept over countless times).
Okay end multiple rants lol

Shae I completely understand that feeling you're talking about, about not feeling like home is home anymore. It intensifies the longer you live away, but on the plus side your parents start treating you like an adult. Hope your cf testing reveals you are not a carrier.
Tex that is so exciting!!! Oh i hope he gets it, sounds like a great opportunity plus the ability for him to have more time with the family.
Dobs plllease tell me he texted that to you! What a doofus.
Waiting for my ct now, drinking some drink the size of the moon. It's reminiscent of a GD test drink but not quite as sickly, omg this may make me vomit, sweet. But it is sweet...and f-ing enormous.

The key to never losing that feeling of Home is having a designated room you sleep in, leaving your stuff in everybody’s houses all the time, and having keys to everybody’s house 
. That’s what I do oooo and when you go over give like 5 minutes heads up and just waltz in 
Long short my lawyer said tell him how much money he owes and even though I was like he gonna be extra I did it so he sent like ten emails being like you’re wrong, we never agreed, slandering me as a mom (incorrectly cuz he stupid), threatening me if I take legal action for his unpaid rent. When I just calmly said do whatever idc he got pissed and started swearing and being hella rude and I was just like cool lemme know when you can talk nicely and he goes off about how he’s not ahusive and i’m Manipulative and i’m not even responding.
But I am entitled to an RO if “Restraining orders may also be obtained due to psychological abuse. When an estranged spouse continuously degrades you or attempts to unreasonably control your actions, turns your children against you or threatens harm to you or your loved ones, it is considered psychological abuse. When this type of abuse is so prevalent against you that it interferes with your daily life or your ability to do your job, the court may enter a restraining order. You may request that the restraining order prevent all contact whether by mail, phone, email, gift delivery or through third parties.“. So i’m Over it
Ew gigs do you have to drink the whole thing? I chugged my gd drinks lol just plugged my nose, thought back to my tequila shot days, and said give me strength lol

Yes, the whole thing! Definitely not a drink I would choose. Think melted orange popsicle (still cold).
Got my lab ordered, but not without a fight! Still it's all done. CT was (mostly) painless, save getting an iv---but at least the nurse did it in one shot! And the nurse who took my blood for the test did it in one shot, too
now i'm just playing the waiting game. Really hope it's something fixable! Fx!
Oh lordy dobs, that man is...well he must be miserable. I'm very glad he's writing it all, very convenient. You may just want to get that RO...may be way easier just letting your lawyers talk things out and relay back. You don't need that stress or verbal abuse!
Cb...I'm holding out hope you'll test again today

Thanks, I hope so too. My office is frustrating the shit outta me and I can tell they are getting annoyed with me calling. But I don't really care. I've been sick for two weeks with no answers and am currently cooking from my 14 day fever and they can suck it.

That second option is my vote!
They said i could get results today or tomorrow. They seem very unconcerned at this point with my case, probably because I put up such a stink about the hep A test this morning. I am also annoyed that the doctor who seemed so nice and attentive this weekend and determined to figure out my issue now can't even be bothered to call me; she had the nurse call with my blood test results yesterday, a nurse who couldn't answer any of my questions so had to ask the dr and call me back again.
add to this my damn internet is still out! The asshat technician who was supposed to fix it signed it off as complete but never came here! I had to get another appointment and they can't come until Thursday! Ooooooh my inner bitch was unleashed. They may come earlier if they can fit it in their schedule...
I'm so sorry i'm ranting.
In other news already at page 200 in half blood prince haha

Gigs I hope you get comprehensive answers! Also the internet technician thing makes me so mad for you, ugggh like do your damn job.
CB eeee test test test! Always test!
Dobs oh geez that man(boy) is awful. I hope your lawyer can figure things out in your favor. Also, I have a designated room here (the one I grew up in) and some of my stuff is still here, but because of the distance between college and home, when I do come home it’s a very planned visit. Idk, but I think that home feeling is gone for good. Though it may come back a month into summer break. Who knows?
I have a million assignments to do over this week and I haven’t even started them. Not excited to do my 8-10 page sociology research paper. Ugh.

Verdict is in...still not sure what i have except a virus! Thank God nothing scary or life threatening. She thinks it might be mono but i guess you have to wait to test for that or something? So if i still have a fever in a couple days i'll be tested for that...not that it'll make any difference in treatment but at least i'll have an answer.

Do you have typical symptoms for mono? Thought thst wouldve showed up on s blood test.. unless they need to test specifically for it. So relieved its nothing real bad though.. my anxiety kicks in with stuff like that & i make myself worse.

Oh heah I was insanely anxious! I was really afraid it was something life threatening!
I am fatigued like crazy and have the fever, but otherwise this does not feel like mono to me. The other times i had mono i had a sore throat and very swollen lymph nodes in my neck, like sore to the touch. They're noticable but really not that big to me.
Cb you test again yet? Any pics? 😬
