Mumbles

I would blog, but I am so... damn... tired..........

Sorry.. fell asleep for a moment. Send me well wishes as I deal with finals, lots of busy time at work, and the inability to ever clean my house properly due to the aforementioned.

Love always,

Ta Da!

I have returned from my endo appointment. My cholesterol is down BELOW WHAT IT SHOULD BE for the first time in years! My HDL is still just one point shy of preferred, but that's the closest it has been to good as well! My TSH was an amazing 1.09. My glucose is still a little high, but down about 2 points. Endo was surprised it hadn't gone down more. Iron is a smidgen low, but nothing to be alarmed about. In short, I'm the healthiest I've been (blood draw wise) for years!

This just all serves to support our decision to start treatments again. Today I made an appointment to head to the RE in may. My old RE is no longer there, so I will be seeing someone new. Wish me luck with that! DearNurse is still there though. That makes me very happy.

What also makes me happy is ovulation. It was on cycle day 31, but that's still 6 days earlier than last cycle. My fertility signs were also the best they've been in a very long time for ovulating on my own. It was all exactly as it should be, which made me happy. Yay body! (It doesn't get to hear that very often.)

And last but definitely not least, Jen gave me a camera cable, so I can post all those photos I've been hanging on to! Get ready. ;-)

Outing

I went out with Farah and Jen today. When I told Hub what the plan was, he asked about their babies. He said, "They're both bringing their babies? Aw, I wish you had a baby sweetie." It's wonderful to have a Hub that understands. Even more wonderful is having friends who let you (and with whom you feel comfortable enough) squish their very cute babies without too much overemphasis on how lucky they are and how lucky you are not.

Fun was had!

Find Somewhere to Grow

I've been listening to a lot of The Tragically Hip lately. The moody, complex sound and poetic lyrics seem to fit my mood right now. I've been happy, but introspective. I have an endocrinologist appointment this week. It's the last one for adjusting dosages etc. After this, I'll be on the maintenance plan. We've come to the plateau for which we were waiting. Big decisions are coming. And with that, I leave you the lyrics from It's a Good Life if You Don't Weaken by The Tragically Hip.

When the colour of the night
and all the smoke for one life
gives way to shaky movements,
improvisational skills,
a forest of whispering speakers
lets swear that we will
get with the times,
in a current health to stay
lets get friendship right
get life day-to-day
in the forget-yer-skates dream
full of countervailing woes
In diverse-as-ever scenes
proceeding on a need-to-know
in a face so full of meaning
as to almost make it glow

0 for a good life, we just might have to weaken

and find somewhere to go
go somewhere were needed
find somewhere to grow
grow somewhere were needed.

when the colour of the night
and all the smoke in one life

get life day-to-day
in the forget-yer-skates dream

0 for a good life, we just might have to weaken

and find somewhere to go
go somewhere we're
find somewhere to grow
grow somewhere we're needed
find somewhere to go
lets go somewhere we're needed
find somewhere to grow
We grow where we are needed

cause in the forget-yer-skates dream
you can hang your head in woe
and this diverse-as-ever scene
know which way to go

A Little Uplift for Your Tuesday

Distractions while I wait...

Don't quote me here, but I think, I think I may be largely done with my school project. (Dare I let out a little yay?) I'm sure I'll be tinkering with it until it's due, but man is that a load off. I'm such a damn perfectionist that these sorts of things are a brick on my chest until they're done.

So I hope to be sharing some recipes and photos as soon as I can. In the meantime, I'll share a new blog with you. Everyone loves a new blog right? This is actually a blogger I've known for quite a while, and his style is vastly different from mine. I remember him asking me for advice ages ago, and I was astonished because to me, he's obviously the superior writer.

This is not an infertility themed blog, but for those of you so long in this IF world that life starts to become interesting again (like me)*, or for those that need a break, check it out. It's delightfully done trivia and circumstance conversely written in complex style. It's Dog Chewed Opals.
________________________________________________________________________

*Cycle day 24 - no ovulation, no signs of ovulation. Treatment MUST start again soon lest I lose my mind, and my non-advanced maternal age status.

You may note that I have stopped adding to my blog roll. I plan to eventually phase it out all together. It just doesn't serve a great purpose to me anymore. So don't feel hurt if I visit your blog often, but don't add you to the list.

Still Alive - Not Really Kickin'

Big school project due this coming week. Still can't find my $%*#& camera/internet cable. So much for actually having photos to post. Tired and busy with my new position, but happy.

Internet status: weak
