It's looking like another trip to Cape Town is in my very near future. I think I'll be there the last week of March. I'm still awaiting CD1 around here-wouldn't you know I'm finally having a long cycle?* I wanted to go another month without drugs, which with my normal short cycles would still allow me to plan for a March trip.
I also wanted to lose more weight before the trip but it's still 3 weeks away so I'll just do what I can.
THREE WEEKS!!!! ACCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKk.
I told myself if CD1 happened before yesterday I'd just have to push back. I wouldn't be able to get the drugs in time, yada yada yada. Now it's time to stop being passive-aggressive and get this show on the road.
In related good news I heard from Dr Champagne that they've been seeing a lot of success recently with frozen transfers so he feels better about recommending it. I told him it was my personal goal to help his stats.
I also talked to my friend Color Consultant** and she heartily agreed to the fet. I could hear the results of her fet making some very cute sounds in the background.
I think that my drugs should be covered by insurance now. I'm waiting for confirmation from one of the mister's co-workers who's currently cycling but that will help a bit.
So, drugs now, tickets soon, and I think I'm going to go ahead and book my fave hotel. They only have a luxury room left for the time I'm think I'll be there. Isn't that just too bad?
*And don't even think that there's another reason for this long cycle. Just don't.
**Not only is she in my RESOLVE support group but she's also an interior decorator and helped me pick colors for the whole house. She's very good. I just spent the weekend painting our foyer three lovey shades of blue. So very nice! I'm sick of beige and off-white. It's great adding some color into the mix. I'll try to post pics soon.
Shucks, only a luxury room left, huh? What a shame.
Three weeks is just around the corner. Good luck!

Wow, 3 weeks how exciting!
Have you worked out how many you're going to put back?

Hooray. I'm so jealous you got to go to SA not once but TWICE. Good luck with the FET. Three weeks!!! We'll be going through our cycles around the same time.

Full steam ahead is great news, I'm so pleased. You deserve that luxury room.

Three weeks!! That's wonderful news! The luxury room should just be the tip of the iceberg. When you're in SA, I expect to read about all the extravagances you've lavished onto yourself (daily massages, manicures, pedicures, hot men named Raoul fanning you out on the deck while you sip fruity cocktail beverages), because you deserve it!

Whoo-hoo! Only 3 weeks!! Best get cracking on the packing, woman.

Look at that--it's March now! You're going this month-yay!
I'm so excited for you. I know somehow you will manage with a luxury room. It may take all of your inner fortitude, but somehow I know you will survive it.

I INSIST on another lunch, this time with wine. Pencil me in, you tired old 'ho. Oh, wait, I'm the tired old 'ho, but pencil me in any way.
How long are you down for? Will you have a rental car? Do you think you will have time for a visit to Casa Tertia?
It is good to hear you sounding upbeat. Looking v forward to seeing you again.
Smooch

How exciting!

Oh good. I have to admit I've been missing checking up on you. I'm hoping you'll have hope again. It's time for Millie to get a break!
