Happier days ahead
Today I have on new accessories – a fun lime and yellow beaded necklace (the coolest beads!) from the little beach shop in Delray with a coordinating bracelet. To be really ‘fashionista’ and mix my colors, I have on tan pants, pale blue sweater, green jacket (cropped) and pink ballet flats to match my pink bag!
I spent some time posting and lurking on Crafster.org and GetCrafty.com last night, the nouveau crafty sites are really edgy and chic and the girls there have both great ideas, fun attitudes and funny quotes. We also watched the second half of a French film we’d rented over the weekend. It’s not like my sewing sites. This ain’t your gramma’s craftin’.
I’ve started my Organize It! sewing room makeover class, and a fun class called “pattern play” where we’re recreating a Max Mara cardigan from a basic pattern. Both were free to me. I want to get over the nursery thing and set up a sewing space that is reflective and zen like. so I can sew Annie’s formal bags.
Coincidentally, I had my IUI over the weekend, so I may very well be preggo now. I have had cramps and stretchy belly. So you never know. I felt good going into the weekend, calm, relaxed, with temps that stayed low preO too.
rebecca and I had such fun last week, I think she needed it just as much as I.

the stress is climbing up my spine and settling in near my neck. ugh. Rani is expecting, and I’m delighted for her – in that sort of ‘i wish it were easy for me’ sort of delight. You know the one. I’m not panicked, but I really had to do the fog thing that Juan talked about, and push it away. I have so many good things going on – the trip to see rebecca, the annies formals thing, the sewing room redo, the office design tweaks, a batik, so much good stuff. and then the mind blowing thing of all – the fact that it’s NOT me and it’s G. and we’re undergoing IUI, which might actually work. And that it’s not drugs, and risks, it’s fairly painless in terms of procedure and cost.
I’m waiting for macromedia (dolts) who said they’d call at 5:15. They have ten minutes. I still can’t get it installed in OSX. Despite my efforts. and four new clients in two weeks, it’s really mounting, the good news. g. might have a job soon. thank god for big miracles. I won’t take for granted any more and I will still count my blessings.

whew, the 100 mg zoloft seems to be working. i started annie’s formals this week, an idea which needed to get out of my head and onto a larger stage. it was a huge step. the second big step is this sewing room. because it was to be the nursery, I’ve let it go to a bad, bad state. but I’m taking a class now, that will help me organize to that zen-like state of creativity. and if I do get pg? so be it, we’ll convert the guest room and bring that bed in here.

Debbie M/c’d last night. 12 weeks. I’m so sad for them.
Michelle, my hoping buddy/lunch friend, was such a sweetie. She prepared one of the Hoping packets for Debbie, and I bought her a ’serenity’ candle at October Moon (after all, that’s what I’d want, serenity). The owner of October Moon fittingly (unbeknownst to her) tied a pale pink rose to my bag, which I’m sending with the box to Debbie.
Michelle also gave me some new info including a link about prolactin (that was my ‘really high’ number that the doc flagged on my results) and dopamine – linking exercise to elevated levels of prolactin. It’s the same thing that keeps nursing moms from getting pregnant, by interrupting the ovulatory cycle. Anyway, since I’m not really exercising a lot right now (more than I have been) that’s sort of scary. what do I need to do sit on my butt?
I feel better, but not perfect. It has been five months and I can’t believe it’s been that long ( going on six months).
