It’s Monday again, but the beginning of a short work week for most of us because of the Thanksgiving holiday! Share any victories you’ve experienced today or this past week and also any moans that you need off your shoulders.

Victory - had a great weekend away with my DH, feel like we reconnected and had a chance to discuss what we've been through and how we will move forward.
Victory - short work week, yee haw!
Moan - Doesn't feel like a holiday to me, hopefully that will change!

Sad and trying to decide what steps to take next.
Moan: It hurts me to think about leaving my RE whom I've been with for 14 years...but, gotta do what's best for us and our situation! Other than that, nothing bad...I'm in super good spirits.
Major Victory!: Got in very quickly with the new RE...Dec 7th. I'm so excited, I have been in a good mood since I talked to their office! I feel like I have options again, and not just the $$ either....they do procedures here that aren't even offered at my clinic.
