Sick and Tired

I am sick and tired of always being sick and tired. Sound familiar, well it probably does as it is a song! lol

But this rings true. No less than a couple of weeks ago I was so sick that the thought of eating chocolate never entered my mind. Now that means I was really sick. Today well I have eaten some chocolate already (so technically) am not as sick as I was but am sick yet again. Not to mention that I had more than enough sleep and am still tired.

I am also trying to organise the building of our home. We have now put electricity on site, D is finishing the fence today, we have done our owner builder sign, D is cutting down some trees, then mulching them and also taking some waste to the tip (that others so kindly left on our property as it looked like a great place to dump it!). Have I told you that this house building business is v. costly!! lol.

Fashion Flaw

Copied and further edited from my post on EB

I am sure all of us have had a fashion flaw at one time or another but I often wonder why grown women wear tracksuit type jumpers with a cartoon characters on them.

This morning while filling up fuel, a women next to me, who was probably going to work, wore a tracksuit jumper with Winner the Pooh FFS, with jeans tappered in at the bottom and joggers. Now this lady was not slim but she wasn't big either, she could have chosen more appropriate clothes. Oh and don't let me get started on the people that have toys in their car lined up on their dashboards or hanging on the back window!!!

I may get blastered for my opinions but what do you think? Are you one of these women that wear cartoon character prints on clothes? And if so, why?

I just don't get it so help me understand why you are obsessed with cartoon characters?

Twiddling Thumbs

Twiddling twiddling twiddling....

I am going nowhere with IVF. I am in between cycles and this is more of a killer than 2ww. Why do I have to have a rest cycle?? Well I asked my doctor that at my appt yesterday and she said 'it best prepares your body for your next cycle'. Yeah well does it prepare me mentally NO - and a BIG FAT NO that was! It stresses me out even more and it is not even a relief to get there as I then have to inject forever in a day and then you have the EPU and then you what to find out how good your embryos are and then it is waiting again. Have I told you that I fcuking hate this waiting game. Yeah I swore.....so what. You would too if you were me. Oh get this?! The doc wanted DH to do a SCSA test even though 3 out of the 3 embroys fertilised, one brilliantly, one nor here nor there and one didn't make it. I actually think this was a pretty good result but seems to me they don't make enough moula from IVF that they want another $273 for this test. Yeah I'm rich so why not.

The house still has not started. The electrician has put some temporary power on site, D will put up the construction fence this week some time, plumber will go in next week to supply water on site then we should be able to start. Again twiddling thumbs in the mean time.

Hoping like hell that this twiddling stops soon...

Posting pictures...

I know the majority of people viewing blogs immediately look to see whether there are any pictures of the blogger (confession: I do it all the time) and I really want to post a picture of me and the block of dirt but I can't work it out. I have tried to follow all instructions but no go. So if you can help me (the retard), I would appreciate it immensely...

Builders.....

Who needs them!!! Actually I do!!!

Ok I did say that I would probably be at a loss pondering what to discuss in my two months of rest till I start my next IVF but what do you know, we are about to start building a house and when you are about to start building always have something to talk about and this leads me to my grudge against builders, yes this will be the first cab off the rank....

D and I are in the process of building our home and as D works on a construction site he has no time to find / organise anything so everything is pretty much left up to me. When our plans were with council I started to obtain quotes so that once they were approved, we would be able to start ASAP. Well we are now 1 1/2 months down the track and we are still not any closer to starting. Why? Well our builder (contract not signed) is talking builders crap to someone that does not understand builders lingo. Yes I know D is a Carpenter / Joiner so I should know something and believe me I know a whole lot about bathroom renovating as well as different tools and what they are used for (we have show and tell everytime a new tool is purchased), but that is about it. I don't know anything about footings but I do know that if we hit rock we will be up for more moula. That I do know. Anything to do with moula and I need to know.

Anyway so the builder is talking crap but this crap is going to effect my moula and is delaying everything in the process. Ok my other grudge with this builder or should I say myself (for not shopping around for other quotes) is that this builder was recommended and only now I see that he may be charging a little more than I am comfortable with so I am seeing another 'building supervisor' tonight for his quote / opinion and also on Saturday D and I drove past a massive new childcare centre being built down the road from us so we stopped in and asked who he used and it turns out that he is an owner builder and has a whole list of names so he said to give him a week and to give him a call and he will have the list ready for us. God love you Enzo.....and if I do have children I will make sure that they attend your centre. We need more people like you!

So that is where we are at. Still at the same block of dirt we were at many many months ago but I hope this will change soon.

And it's a.....BFN.

The lack of posts were due to being on holidays but I must confess that I have been back for 5 days but just didn't feel like updating my blog. Yep it was a BFN. AF paid me a visit two days prior to the scheduled b/t and I wasn't happy. I must admit though, I was so much more devastated when my 1st IVF cycle was cancelled than my recent BFN. It may be that on the 1st you psych yourself up so much and in my case it all came crashing down.

Doc has advised that I need a little break so I will start my meds on my next cycle which means that my next approximate EPU date will be the beginning of October, b/t being........v. close to my b-day. I bet you all know what I will be wishing for on my 30th (gulp) b-day.

Geez what to blog about for the next IVF-free months? Dogs, building our house (which has not even begun), living with the inlaws etc.
