It's Thursday Again!

Here are my thirteen updates for today:

1. No news to report on the IVF front. The embryo transfer last Friday went well. The pregnancy test is scheduled for next Wednesday (7/13). Fingers crossed!
2. To be honest, I’ve had enough of the injections. I look and feel like a pin cushion. My backside is all bruised and my butt feels like I slipped on some ice or did a really tough glutes workout.
3. I’m also feeling the effects of the hormones – mostly just physically in the form of PMS symptoms.
4. I’m midway through the required post-transfer no exercise week. (Sorry, I don’t consider walking exercise.) I have been walking the hills of Lake Barcroft and really enjoying it.
5. The job situation is still the same. It is so incredibly frustrating. My office tried another approach to hiring me and hit a another brick wall.
6. I love holiday weeks! I love how Thursday feels like Wednesday, and Friday is here before we know it.
7. I am really in a good place mentally. I have so much to be happy about and I choose to focus on those things instead of the challenges.
8. More vacation news: I am super excited to report that less than a week after coming home from our fabulous transatlantic adventure, we have another trip to look forward to.
9. The Knight, the lovely stepdaughter, and I are headed back to Disney for the Wine & Dine Half Marathon. Hopefully I’ll be okay to run (slowly) at that time.
10. We, okay I, offered to pay for the lovely stepdaughter’s registration if she wanted to do her first half marathon at Disney. A week after we booked our trip she took us up on it. We were so excited to suck her into our madness – I mean, introduce her to the joys of running - that we couldn’t say no.
11. It will be a whirlwind weekend but it is going to be fabulous.
12. The race is called Wine & Dine because it coincides with the Epcot Food & Wine Festival. Can you think of anything more fantastic?
13. The only disadvantage – from my perspective – is that the race begins at 10 pm. As a morning person, I’m not thrilled about this but I’ll figure it out.

Thanks for reading!
