I’m home with Cristy today. She’s sick. Way sick. She was up all night and I just couldn’t bare the thought of leaving her home all day. Poor thing. I hope I didn’t wear her out yesterday…
And speaking of yesterday, thanks for all the love around my bad day. It ended on a much brighter note, I promise. I came home and got right in my pj’s. C made us dinner and we watch the Bigg*st Los*r. We missed the actual season but it’s always fun to watch the last show. I watched them all crash through the ‘old them’ in this whole new body - it was amazing. Most of them lost over 100 pounds - in just 5 months or so. I was a bit envious. I could stand to lose about 30 pounds but it only seems to come easily if I’m going through a break-up. Sorry, not worth it. I need to find another way.
I’m salty, not sweet. Every now & then I’ll have a hot tomale or sweet tart but usually, if I’m snacking, I’m eating chips or crackers. It takes me a week to finish a candy bar and about 10 minutes to finish a bag of chips. & you know what else I like? Lemon juice! I love me a glass full of lemon water! If I was left on an island, I could survive on chips, lemons & sunflower seeds. But don’t get any ideas - I don’t like salt water.
We had our first “next round of IVF” appointment set for this morning. Because of all the puking, we had to cancel. You know what I love about that? - That they wouldn’t see just one of us. Even though our relationship isn’t recognized, they’ll only begin the process if both of us can be there. It’s kind of validating for Cristy. During our last try, they made her sign over the “sample”. How great is that? I laughed because if she actually had “the sample”, we most likely wouldn’t be going through all of this. Anyway, I was happy to reschedule.
And speaking of future babies, our very own jbeeky has just seen the beautiful face of her new baby girl. Please go visit her and send her your joy! She has been waiting a very long time! & then start praying that she’ll make it home before mid-June so I can give her a fat kiss while I’m visiting!
And to round off this very scattered post, I wanted to take time to Thank You, dear readers. Today is Reader Appreciation Day and I was reminded of this by The Other Mother so swing by there and give your thanks. No one, NO one deserves “thanks” like you do though. If you read here once a week or once a month or even once Ever, I’ve felt it. Being able to write about my life over the last year and a half has saved me in so many ways. Whether or not you comment, I know you’re there. And I know that I’m free to just rant and cry and celebrate and it makes all the difference.
So, cheers to you! Today, I’m celebrating.
