Cheers

I drank A LOT this weekend. Seriously, my hangover this morning was EPIC. It took a lot of ibuprofen, water, coffee, bagels and cream cheese (NYC bagels, thanks to our NYC friends) to get me feeling somewhat human again. But you know, it was just what the doctor ordered. Lots of delicious food and drink [...]

TGIF

Holy moly, but I am a wreck these days. I am so tired I want to cry- the kind of exhaustion that makes my eyes spazz out and I can’t stop shaking. My hair keeps falling out, I have a mole thingy on my forehead that sort of freaks me out and there is a [...]

Wednesday

I got the call from my doctor’s office this morning that my TSH skyrocketed. Stupid thyroid. No wonder I’ve felt like 10 pounds of crap in a five pound bag. I don’t know why it’s so bad again.

Happy happy

Today is my mother-in-law’s 74th birthday. I adore Ellie, have from the moment I met her. She’s a kind-hearted, funny, unassuming, smart woman and we get along so well; I am blessed to have her as a MIL. She has her boys- and me- wrapped around her finger. We all gathered at the homestead last [...]

See I’ve already waited too long

Another month, another negative pregnancy test. I wasn’t surprised, but that didn’t lessen the hurt any. Not at all. I was at work when I took the call, though, so I kept it together and carried on. It’s what I do. Carry on. This shit is getting old. No more Clomid, I’ve decided. Until I know [...]
