This week I’m taking ovulation tests to see when the big day should be for me to go and get inseminated. A reasonable human might wait until a day or two before she’s supposed to ovulate to start taking these tests. But, a planner such as myself might instead take them every day, all week,… Read More Testing. Testing. Is this thing on?
Looking back, it’s been a big weekend for feelings. This Saturday night CFC, the local soccer team, lost in their battle for the finals – which means a Saturday evening routine with friends has ended for the year. We were close to the end, but it was a sad ending to a great season and… Read More The Feels
Prepare yourself for medical details. So, the time has finally arrived. I’m going to start taking ovulation tests next week and when I get the green light (I’m assuming that’s how it works – per usual, no research), I call the office and go in the next day for “the procedure.” Estimated around August 8th… Read More Count Down
I’m so happy that so many people are excited for me and want to read this sometimes weird sometimes sad sometimes hilarious story I’m putting together each day. I’m going to learn quickly to do something I’m not comfortable with – ask for help. There’s an artist I’m a big fan of, Amanda Palmer, and… Read More The Art of Asking
(2012 birthday meal at Brewhaus to remember what curry wurst tasted like from Ted’s days in Berlin in the 1960’s) Today is my dad’s 72nd birthday. I called him this afternoon, asked how he was doing and if he knew today was his birthday. He seemed surprised – no, he said, he thought it was… Read More Ted Elliot Rose

I’ve spent most of my life worrying about my weight. I went to an all-girls high school, which amplified the concern, of course, but it was there before that as well. As a short, chesty, curvy girl, I’ve longed for the long gazelle-like legs of my tall friends. I’ve watched slim girls run effortlessly, admired… Read More Walk It Out
Thursday my doctor’s office received a very expensive package from the cryobank. Luckily, I have a friend there who gave me a backstage pass and sent me some important photos. This reminds me very much of Mork from Ork, who landed on earth and hatched from a space egg. I spent a good amount of… Read More Science Fiction
Here’s the great thing about my friends – they care. First thing this morning at 7 am I got a message from my friend who works at TRM. She had read my blog from last night and offered to fill out my form ASAP, catch the doctor, and send it to the bank that morning.… Read More Yes, please, I’ll take 3
So, I know I happily explained last post how I wasn’t bogging myself down by reading everything online or digging through the process notes – just going smoothly along. When I hopped online yesterday, visa card in hand, to place my order, I ran into a bit of a wrinkle. I had noticed that there… Read More Well, there’s that
