I love, love, LOVE any excuse to not have to go to work. I love days off work!<\/p>\n
Right now I’m taking prednisone (for my dead-sexy eczema) and metformin (originally for the prediabetes, but now more for the hopeful fertility upside, but hey, if it helps me lose weight too, who is going to complain?). I sure hope the prednisone works soon because those side effects are just…err…annoying. Racing heartbeat, out of control appetite, etc. And by “etc” I mean obsessing over everything I can think of. Today I have Googled many things that I can’t even recall right now and considered making a trip to Target to buy a giant plastic bin. (For some reason, when I obsess, I obsess about organization and when I obsess about organization, plastic bins are very important!).<\/p>\n
Something weird happened last night – Gene was on the phone with his brother and started to tell him about our current medical adventure and I basically gave him the “don’t talk about it” sign (shaking head, waving hand). Now, why did I do that? I\u00a0have talked about\u00a0this with\u00a0D at work, New Boss,\u00a0NB’s toady, the new girl, Mom,\u00a0Macauley\/Bill. Why wasn’t I comfortable sharing\u00a0this with the other side (in-law side) of my family?\u00a0If Gene’s mom was still alive I may have told her. Honestly, I don’t feel close to my in-laws. I love them and my nephews are adorable, but BIL and his wife are such grownups that I\u00a0don’t how to start the conversation. And frankly, what if they don’t care? Maybe it would have been wiser to not tell ANYONE.<\/p>\n
I think what I will do is wait (Ugh, WAIT?) for my f\/u appointment (hee hee, “f\/u!”) on the 24th and if I really do get put on Clomid maybe I’ll tell Gene it is OK to tell BIL\/SIL if it comes up. So much of this is a waiting game anyway – what’s another 3 weeks?<\/p>\n
(UGH).<\/p>\n
Oh well! Time to clean up the kitchen. Gene made a delicious dinner (flounder and corn on the cob), used the extras for lunch tomorrow and has already prepped dinner tomorrow, so the least I can do is tidy the kitchen a little and move some laundry and take out the trash. Might as well harness that Prednisone energy for good and not evil for once.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
