Administrative Issues

OK, so I may have two university degrees but clearly I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I have managed to get the links in, but I cannot give them a title (no matter how hard I try, titles do not seem to publish) and I cannot seem to make the links single spaced.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My husband and I went out with friends to celebrate St. Patrick's Day yesterday. Since they had an automatic designated driver, they took advantage and downed far too many green beer. I have not seen my husband that drunk in the 12 years I have known him (with the exception of his bachelor party). As you can imagine, today I am having a quiet day. So much for the plastering, electrical work and painting I was hoping to get accomplished in the kitchen this weekend.

On the raisin front, my beta is scheduled for March 29. Although they are day 5 blasts, my clinic still insists on waiting the full 14 days. On the other hand, I usually test at home by day 9 or 10. First of all I'm impatient and secondly I cannot stand to get bad news from a nurse over the phone.

I am of the view that my infertility is not my "fault" and generally I am not afraid to talk about it. I figure I am not responsible for the fact that my hormones don't work any more than if I had thyroid disease or diabetes. However, it is really amazing how your mind can play tricks on us. After the miscarriage, I thought to myself, "maybe we shouldn't have had sex, maybe I shouldn't have been dancing that weekend, etc" In my head I know this made no difference, but still.

Last night I did not drink and only had one diet coke and then switched to water. The bar was non-smoking. But as I stood their bopping (but not dancing) to the great band I couldn't help but wonder "should I be standing this close to the speakers, I wonder if really loud music can cause problems". I guess when you've faced infertility and all it's wonders, you never really feel safe.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
