My brother texted me a picture of the snow last night, and said that their front yard had been almost clear until last night's snow. It's not like it's flurries -- it's a LOT. That's nuts.
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

There is fresh snow here too. Enough that I will probably have to clean off my car, but, otherwise, not a significant amount. Sorry you have to deal with that much snow this late in the season, askye.

Congratulations, Bonny!
I took the cowards way out and left a voicemail for my uncle when I knew he wouldn't be home. I told him I was feeling groggy on my new GD medication and didn't think I was up for the drive to RI. Both are true. And because I hadn't actually bought a gift for the shower yet, I sent a gift directly to the bride and groom from their registry.

I think you mean the best way out. The last thing you need right now is people arguing with on what is best for you or laying a guilt trip on you about it. And maybe your uncle would not have done that but why open the door?

I doubt he would be a jerk about it, but I just don't have the spoons to deal with people on the phone right now.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That's what voicemail is for, sj! Avoiding humans when you're out of spoons. Also, buying gifts off registries and having them sent. How did we manage in the world before?
signed, pretty much out of spoons for a week now
A foot of snow in April ought to be illegal.

I suppose I can't just ask to switch doctors within my practice at this point in my pregnancy, can I? The doctor that I saw the other day was not my doctor, and she was wonderful. She really took the time to talk to me yesterday, and when I called today to talk to her about some concerns I have with the new meds, she called me back herself! This does not happen with my current doctor. I always end up talking to a nurse, which is usually fine, but it does mean I am getting all my answers second hand.

I don't see why not. If there's ever a time to be totally happy and comfortable with your doctor (is there ever a time not to?) it's when you're growing a new human.

Seriously, I think people forget this when it comes to healthcare: you are, in essence, the customer. If you have a better experience with the second doctor, then you have every right to switch. You didn't sign a contract stating that you will only see Doctor #1, right? (And any such contract would be unenforceable anyway.)
It's your health and well-being, which extends now to the health and well-being of your baby. If you get better care from Doctor #2, you should switch. If Doctor #1 tries to push back, say that this isn't a negotiation; it's your choice as the patient.
