As the subject line says, life is busy and that's a good thing! I don't do well with boredom so I'm all for staying busy. Busy with what you might ask? Well, a number of things.
Classes started today again for me. For those of you that don't know I've started taking classes at our local community college to eventually try to someday get an English degree under my belt. I took two online classes over the summer (got A's in both, YAY) and am taking two classes online this semester. So, being the completely anal student that I am - I of course had to read all of the emails, discussion threads, syllabus, calendar entries, etc. for both classes, then proceed to read Chapter 1 for my Art History class immediately after dinner, do my discussion post, and take my chapter 1 quiz. Yes, I'm ridiculous I know! Tomorrow, I'll start cranking through my Ancient and Medieval History assignments for week one. I'm always afraid if I don't stay on top of things, I'll let something slip but I guess having a bit of OCD around work/school isn't a terrible thing.
Work's been hella busy thanks to having to pick up the slack of a co-worker who will not be named. But in the end, a busy day makes for a day that flies by so I won't complain about work being hectic (though I will often complain about the slacker who will not be named.)
So now onto our IVF updates. DH goes for his semen analysis this Friday morning which means yesterday's afternoon delight is the last we'll see until after Friday morning. Grrrr...we just got to start the love train up again this past Monday (since we had to wait a couple of weeks after the surgery before we could um, resume relations) but it's all for a good cause. Prior to the semen analysis and then prior to egg retrieval, there needs to be 2-5 days with no ejaculation so we get a good amount of healthy swimmers. I'm just happy that he will have an official room at the RE's office to "produce his donation" in vs. the bathroom stall at the VA hospital that he had to use last time. I've asked him to come home from his visit with a description of what this room is like so I can share it with my faithful readers.
I also spoke with the IVF Nurse Coordinator today and DH & I will be attending the IVF group session on 9/20 so we're looking forward to that. She's also mailing out our slips to get our infectious disease blood work done so we'll get that done as soon as we get the slips. I find that even when we have nothing going on in the IVF area, I stay pretty busy with it by participating on an IVF message board. As the "list keeper" for our fall cycle group thread, I keep everyone's progress updated & posted on our daily list and welcome newcomers, cheer on our thread participants, and learn a TON from the ladies who have gone through this so many times.
So, after spending all day working then doing some schoolwork I'm going to say goodnight to cyberspace. Tune in Friday for whatever details I can pull out of DH on the semen analysis process...admit it you're just as curious as I am to hear this LOL.
