Transforming Cooked Black Lentils
I made a batch of black lentils to eat during the week. Unfortunately, the thought of eating them now seems horrendous (I’m pregnant, the aversions are a problem this week). They were only cooked with salt.
Any ideas on turning them into something that’s not just a lentil soup or curry??
Feeling Stupid Over Insurance Mistake
I started IVF in the beginning of the year after starting to work with a clinic last October and doing IUI in December, which didn’t work.
We spoke with the financial counselor at the clinic so early in the process and she told us to pay out of pocket for medications so we had more money from our insurance.
But when we started IVF, I didn’t remember. They sent the prescriptions to my pharmacy and I wasn’t thinking.
I got a bill today for my egg retrieval. I’ll get a bill now for the transfer. My husband was so mad. Tomorrow is my FET, only one embryo made it. This is it. I can’t do anything until next year with insurance.
I’m supposed to not be stressing and just relaxing because of the FET tomorrow. I feel so stupid. I’ve been so stressed with work and all the appointments and medications.
I work in multiple offices and tend to carry a lot with me to work. I’ve been using a regular backpack but looking for something new.
Looking for something that would be good for carrying:
Notebook, pens, occasional files
Laptop
Laptop charger
MIFI
Power bank
Personal sanitary products
Tourniquet
Any suggestions?
