Raining Sunshine

Ever since I started taking that Chia seed my life seems to be getting better. Obviously my bowel movements are the immediate awesome. Twice a day baby! And I just feel good. It could also be the armful of different vitamins I have been popping twice a day or the acupuncture for sure. Mostly though I’m gonna say CHI CHI CHI CHIA! I need to get some kind of traveling show on the road and maybe set up a commission agreement with Salba to sell this stuff. I made Wendy and Andrea take a shot of it last week. I’m not sure it took but to their defense they are not trying to make a baby.

I had my first ultrasound this morning, 18 follicles baby! I can’t wait to tell my acupuncturist Daniel. I love that little munchkin. All my blood levels look good too so I start injections tomorrow night. I think I will be okay. I don’t really have any coping stragedies; I just have denial. During my IUI I was on 150 mg of FSH stimulant, this time I will be on 450 mg. With the exception of the last day when my ovaries kind of felt like exploding, it was fine. I am more worried about the daily blood test needles and of course the two weeks of progesterone suppositories. The nice nurse lady told me if it gets too much then I can always shove them in my butt. It’s nice to know that shoving stuff up my butt is an option.

I got that new job, yay! It’s a lateral move but with a 5% rate increase. And of course the blackberry and laptop and working from home and actually being in Wireless and not getting screwed at bonus time is pretty awesome. I am a little worried about the VP, I worked for him before and thought he was a pig but I am resolved to go in there with an open mind. Anyway, everyone here has been sweet, Miran said some really nice stuff and everyone is sad. Rob has refused to speak to me so I guess that isn’t so sweet and Tracy just left in a huff so that is kind of weird but mostly it’s been nice to be missed.

We’re going to have lunch with my dad tomorrow. He’s on his way back from Moncton and his coaching gig with the US curling team. He’s getting them ready for the Olympics but has to head back to Switzerland for a while. He’s footing the bill so I am opting for sushi.

Another day in another life

I went over yesterday to watch the Biggest Loser and Twilight with Wendy and Andrea, lovely civilized evening. We ordered sushi and ate chocolate chips cookies. Turns out both Wendy and Andrea already saw the movie but where completely willing to watch it a second and fourth time. Scary willing actually. I understood about 10 minutes in, Edward was so hot, almost unbearable. He makes me want to cover my bedroom walls in him image and tune out all day living in fantasy land with him. Now I am googling his image and am pretty sure my co-workers are silently judging me. I got home at 10:30 and the cats were all over me. Jim was mad at me because they missed me and says I have to play with them non-stop for an hour tonight. Doesn’t that sound awful?

I just had another meeting for the Pricing Coordinator job. I feel a humongous sense of outrage that they do not just offer me the job, instead just stringing me along. Obviously this is how it works in the rest of the world; I don’t know how those people do it. He told me that there were two other people in the running, those better be the same two people that I know about that are kind of dumb, well, one’s dumb and one I don’t know but whatever. I am waiting to email Tammy to see what she says. Oh wait, she just emailed to ask how it went. Doesn’t she know I need insider info?

During the interview Imraan used the term “Baptism by Fire” and I was sitting there thinking, that has to be “Baptism by Drowning, what a moron” but turns out I am the moron, thanks Wikipedia for that.

I got my period 5 days early but apparently that will not deter my IVF process. So far, besides triggering Flo, these Estrogen patches aren’t so bad. But I am really having trouble wrapping my head around how this is going to work with my cycle starting 5 days early. I’m pretty calm about the impending onslaught of hormones that I will be injecting myself with, ooh the calm before the storm. Poor everyone that will be anywhere near me.

I could really use a good dump right now. This Salba Chai seed stuff I am taking is pretty darn good at keeping me regular. Let’s see how it goes with the hormones next week. The only drawback is that I have to have a crap at work. I walked into the can this morning and smelled “Just a Drop” and it made me happy. Now would be a good time to have some of that.
