Another One
o here’s what I’ve been thinking over the past few days since losing my latest donor…Perhaps I’m just looking for too much in this match. With all due respect to the donor, she’s not the special person. The baby I have will be the special person.
What did I do? I selected a donor from Cooper’s [...]
Cursed
esterday I received some news that upset me so much, I couldn’t even post about it. I couldn’t stop crying. This is how bad infertility related issues have gotten for me.
With my pessimistic nature, I felt that something would go wrong with my egg donor. This whole month as I have had to wait for [...]
First Day of School
ell I just made it through my first week in my new job. I can’t tell you how weird that felt. Orientation was 3 hours of “welcome to Merck” and filling out papers. At least they gave us a break midway through and a coupon for a free cup of coffee. The cafeteria in the [...]
They De-Poufed Poufy!
he pet groomer and I had a major misunderstanding about Willow’s haircut yesterday. She’s a longhair, so she had been trimmed before at Petsmart. This time I went to a pet grooming center and asked for a trim. I was told that they only do cats one length and can’t get close to their skin [...]
So Blue
onight as I sit here, I feel so incredibly blue. I can’t seem to stop the tears from falling. I want to curl up into a little ball and pretend that nothing currently going on is actually happening. It’s as if I am trying to walk in a straight line during an earthquake. Nothing is [...]
New House
uring the past 24 hours, we have had a big change happen. First, the owners of our potential house (the link is no longer valid since the house is now off the market) dropped the asking price to something much more reasonable. We immediately put in our bid. Today they countered. We accepted.
We have [...]
The Pervs & Partners Convention
f you had asked me a year ago where I thought I would be on a hot Saturday afternoon in July, the answer probably would have been something like shopping, playing on the computer at home, sitting outside chilling, or even preparing for a barbecue. The last answer I would ever think of (well probably [...]
What’s In Your Kitchen?
s I went back today to take another look at Potential House, I starting thinking about the importance of the kitchen. No kitchen I have ever had has been big enough. I have too many tools, appliances and stuff. I keep wondering whether I just have a lot of stuff or other people just don’t [...]
There Must Be a Star in the East
y addict-in-recovery husband finally did the thing I have been asking him to do for the past 2.5 years of our marriage. He got a full-time job.
What took him so long, you might ask? His own demons of shame, among other issues that I don’t want to get into.
Two weeks ago, I laid it [...]
Donor Lost…Donor Found
elcome to the chaos that is my life right now. You would think that with being out of work for 2 weeks, I might be able to relax and cut loose. No such luck. Between the search for a new house, getting the old house ready to be put on the market, decluttering, and dealing [...]
