Den and I have separate savings accounts for those little (or big) things one of us wants but other thinks is totally not necessary. Earlier this year Den bought a stainless still grill, and he finally just saved up enough to buy his holy grail: a 50″ plasma TV. I, on the other hand, have spent my money on the fancy new front door (which still is not installed yet) and I just bought myself a rocking recliner for the living room. Different priorities, anyone? We had a good giggle over that. But I am getting a rocking chair – and I’m getting my living room TV back. And Den isn’t complaining.

I am getting excited for our weekend away that is upcoming. I haven’t booked anything yet, though I’m going to very soon. I really really need some time away with just my husband. We’re going to a little historic town on the shore, staying at a B&B and just relaxing.

Lupron has been started, and I am actively working on not thinking about how soon this cycle is coming up. I know it is, but I just let the thoughts slide around the sides of my conscious awareness. And frankly even giving myself shots don’t warrant much attention on my part, after I’m done I look down in surprise and wonder if I did it correctly – my fingers just seem to do it by themselves. Alcohol, push air, draw up, flick flick, stabbity, done. Of course the lupron is the easy part – once we get to the three vials of menopur in one injection I’m going to need Den to do it while I scrunch up my face. Menopur stings, if you didn’t know.

Oh, and I joined the YMCA. I am hoping that this time I actually use it. But this time I have a car, and a reason to be out of the house in the first place, so the chance of me using it is much higher. I need to sign me up for a class ASAP. A little extra reason to show up is never a bad thing.
