I Should B busy

Okay so I have a lot of updating to do. I want to apologize for my absence. I have been busy but, that is not an excuse.

So in no apparent order...

My sister is doing better. She is taking her medicine for hypertension and adjusting her diet to accommodate this. Her cancer does not appear to have spread beyond her uterus and she will be scheduled for a hysterectomy soon. She is in pain and tired all the time so, the sooner the surgery the better. Also, She told my mom and her kids. I was/am so proud of her!

...

I am participating in a sock exchange that the lovely lady at Who Shot Down My Stork put together. I can't wait to receive my socks from my partner.

...

Speaking of exchanges, I'm doing an ornament exchange that was set up by Teresa at Where the Bleep is my Stork. I am super excited to receive a new ornament for my tree. Christmas is my favorite holiday!!

...

I still love my job! The hectic schedule is playing a tole on my body and mind. Some days I am awake for over 24 hours before I get to sleep. With work and my sister's appointments plus any other things I need to get done for my home, I just don't get to sleep. Hopefully my schedule will balance out soon and not have me working varying shifts for too much longer.

...

So, since I don't sleep too often, it has also affected my cycle. The ability to do BBT at the same time each day is pointless because I never go to sleep and wake up at the same time each day, if I even sleep that is. I will be at the mercy of OPKs this cycle. I am also struggling to take my Metformin. It affects my sugar levels and I need to take it at about the same time each day....yeah about that :-/...I did Clomid this cycle, 150mg on CD3-7. Well actually it was CD 3-6 and CD8. I missed my CD7 dose and took it 8 hours later on CD8. Per Dr. Goggle and my IF friends this should not have an adverse effect on my cycle. This is an unmedicated cycle with the only change is I am taking the Clomid on CD3-7 instead of CD5-9. Well, besides my hectic schedule affecting everything. I think it would be a miracle if this is out BFP cycle . I mean, why not? I've had cycles where I did not falter from my medications or charting and they were BFNs.

...

Whew! That is a lot. I have to go do laundry now and prep for working 24 hours in a 32 hour span on Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday. Gosh I'm tired just thinking about it :-/

Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Bloggie World.
