Waiting

One of the NoVa firms asked us to come up on 11/5 to talk about bonus info, have dinner with them, stay (on their dime) over in a hotel, and meet with a real estate agent. Sounds promising, no?

The deal is that I'll have to keep working for awhile, most likely, in order for this to work. The firm's not offering enough money for us to live on, but it seems like the Lord is leading us this way. Put it like this: I'm not minding the idea of continuing to work, so it must be God!!

It is a job that Dan is incredibly excited about...he'll be mentored by someone who's done what Dan wants to do for years, and the firm covers many aspects of business law, which Dan wants exposure to. It doesn't get much better than that!

Interviews!

Dan has four within the next two weeks (at least so far). He has one tomorrow, which he's not too interested in, two on Tuesday, and then one on Nov. 1. All but the one he doesn't like too well would require us to move. I'm just hoping it's close enough to a birth center to be able to have a birth there. How selfish am I?

No reason, really

Not much to say. Ovulation pains are starting up again, and it's only CD9. They're not at the intensity they reached last cycle, but I'm sure they'll get there again. Whew. Am I looking forward to it or not? ;o)

Breaking an addiction

I'm addicted to internet message boards. I think the last time I wasn't part of one was my junior year in college, when I discovered them. It's not healthy to spend more time with "virtual" people than I spend with friends I can actually sit down with. And I know it's not good to spend more time with virtual friends/acquaintances than fulfilling my responsibilities to my husband and home. There's no way God would be glorified by my hours of wasted time online.

So this weekend I've made some major changes and commitments. I completely deleted my account on one online community. The place that brought me there is simply too contentious for my liking, and it just made me unhappy to be there. Why women would rather throw stones than support each other is beyond my understanding. The other boards I visited there were about beauty rather than fertility support, so it's not a huge loss not to visit anymore. I'll miss the advance notice of some things (like TSVs of my makeup bareMinerals), but that's ok. I'll find out about stuff with the rest of the country.

I'm also taking an extended leave of absence from Ovusoft. I need a fresh perspective, and I need to be free of the "need" to visit that site. In addition to that, I am not receiving emails from two Yahoo groups I'm part of (one that started on Ovusoft and the other that's built around charting fertility).

Today's been the first full day. This is tough.

Ok, really time to try again ;o)

AF started last night before bed, so Clomid starts again tomorrow morning. Fun! Just hoping for no ugly side effects this time, either.

Because I'm a copycat

1) Grab the nearest book.

2) Open the book to page 123.

3) Find the fifth sentence.

4) Post the text of your sentence in your journal or weblog along with these instructions.

5) Don't search around for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.

Time to try again

My period arrived last night, so I called to refill my Rx for Clomid. I'll start it tomorrow, which would be CD3. Here's hoping not having the waiting-on-the-bar-results stress will be a point in our favor. :)

Update (10/13 @ 10:30-ish): I guess last night was really spotting (oddly enough). Temp dropped today, so I'll probably get AF tonight or tomorrow. We'll be waiting a bit longer to start Clomid again, it seems.

:(

Spot & cramps have found me. I'm not feeling well, so Dan let me stay home from church this evening to rest.

Results are coming...

The results for the VA Bar exam are scheduled to be posted online on 10/13 (Thursday), and the results have already been mailed. Gah! The last few days of a long wait are definitely the hardest!
