I have been completely MIA.

Sorry 'bout that folks.

I was seriously just about dead from all the government shutdown-related work that had to get done through Monday and had to recover.  But, I am now recovered!  Yay! My back is better too which is a huuuuuge relief.

I'm on Provera day 4/5 and side effects have been minimal so far - just a handful of hot flashes and some seriously f-ed up dreams.  Hopefully I'll be getting AF around next Tues and then can start the 4 weeks of BCPs.  I already have them and am so ready to get moving on this IVF cycle already! We've been scheduled for the IVF class on Oct 24th and I have my sounding test on Nov 7th. If all goes according to plan, I will hopefully be PUPO by Thanksgiving!

"Franks and Beans!"..."What about Brett Fav...ruh(?)"

This week I've also been kitty-sitting while my sister and her hubby are on vacation. We had some super-special cuddle time today which was adorable but ended with me getting hives all over my face and neck and pretty much looking like Woogie from There's Something About Mary. 
Me thinks I am allergic to cats. 
It was not attractive.

Besides that, I've been lamenting the fact that we had to cover the pool yesterday (on an 85 degree day). Waaaahhh! Swimming was my relaxing time and my go-to when having a bad IF day.  I now need to figure out a new happy-place.

I need to find some time to do some serious blog/IDOB stalking soon! Right now Hubs and I are gonna watch the episode of Homeland we have on the DVR though :-)
