Your sanity is worth more than a job.

Fact.

I have some consultant crap going on for a few weeks with someone else, but time to hit the job search.

Good luck. It's hard to tell how a job hunt in December will go... sometimes people are desperate to hire sometimes reluctant. I hope it's the former for you.

Like for fucksake, our son is literally half the size she was at birth and almost a third the size of her younger brother, so excuse us if don't our baby to be put into a potential fucking deathtrap just because they both survived it.

Right? So basically, our kid isn't sleeping over at grandma and grandpa's until I see their old ass drop-side crib is gone. Even though they said they's listen to us, it smells like "uh hu sure. It's cute you kids are being so overly-protective of your baby like all new parents."
Like, we have degrees and we are older than our parents were with their first children. We might actually not be over-protective of our 4 pound baby who showed up two weeks early.

Now that my wife is done incubating the spawnling and her blood sugar looks normal atm and that she's been told to stop her metformin and she doesn't need to monitor her levels, we have surplus strip. My fastings have been 113 and 116. I guess I'm going to die.

That's high-ish, but not crazy.

When I was diagnosed, my fasting blood sugar was 177.  A1C was 8.7

116 is "watch it, buddy".

Basically, if you're prediabetic, you have two choices:

1.  Treat yourself as if you're diabetic, and then be able to do stuff once in a while if you like.

2.  Ignore it and then never be able to have a beer or a piece of pie again.

Also, option 3:  You go blind and your toes rot.

Well the thing is, I THOUGHT I was eating like a diabetic because I was eating like my wife. It could be midnight baby stress. My whole life is stress.

Trivial

Friend of mine has a prize winning show dog and people that want puppies.  Dog goes into labor, puppy gets stuck breech friend goes to emergency vet.  Vet wants $5,000 up front for heartbeat monitoring, imagery and a spay.  Heartbeat monitoring is unnecessary because whether puppies are alive or dead is inconsequential to needing the c-section.  Imagery isn't needed as a puppy is already stuck so whether or not the c section occurs isn't up for debate.  Because it's a breeding dog she doesn't want the spay.

All emergency vets open were from the same company and said exact same thing.  She went home and pulled the dead puppy, normal vet was then available,  c-section saved two puppies but they lost another.

Friend of hers had similar story, only vet wanted blood work on top of that. Person agreed, vet waited for blood work to get done before c section, lost all puppies  and spayed the dog.
