There's no harm in getting another estimate, too. His insurance company might have someone they recommend.
Mal: Okay. She won't be winning any beauty contests anytime soon. But she is solid. Ship like this, be with ya 'til the day you die. Zoe: 'Cause it's a deathtrap.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Some sleep-through-the-night~ma would be welcome. BAD day at work today (mistake I made--and didn't know I made--came back to haunt me). Plus, very tired and achey to begin with--so tired I want to cry. I'm exhausted, but I'm feeling anxious enough that I'm worried I won't sleep.
I just really don't like my life much right now. My job is wearing me down. My health and fitness both are suffering from it. If I could put in an extra 20 hours in the next week, I could get ahead of things, but I just can't make myself do it. I start crying at the thought of it.

Our wings are not tired.
Glam, that's awesome news!
P-C, glad it's not going to be a huge deal.
ETA: Anne, I am so sorry. I really miss you and am sad to hear things are so rough for you.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm glad the u/s gave you good news, GC. My own experience with the amnio (I just went straight to amnio instead of the usual bloodwork on account of knowing ahead of time I'd be advised to have an amnio anyway) was the accompanying u/s was so reassuring that the whole experience was a positive for me. I admit I am the exception to the rule as most women dread it.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I'm sorry Anne. You and my DH seem to be in the same place

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Yayayayayay Glam and DW and Little Glamboy!
{{{Anne}}} That's a terrible, demoralizing place to be emotionally. It's also a place many of us know all too well--which sucks, but at least you're so very far from alone. Vibing general life get better~ma at you.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Oh Anne, I am so sorry that life is hanging heavy on you right now.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Thank you all very much. I know this will pass, but I'm very tired of being tired.
I'm also tired of being in a state of mind where all I can see is what I'm doing wrong. Tired and a little frightened, because that can lead to one hell of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Oh Anne, I'm so sorry. That's a particular hell that's so hard to move out of. Someday it will be a memory. I promise.

{{Anne}} That is a very sucky headspace to be in. I hope it clears quickly for you.
