the past week....


It's not been the best week... tomorrow is day 7 of 7 working in a row.. so I'm pretty exhausted.. no, it's not for extra money.. it's for events we have at work.. I will take the comp time.. I have Tuesday off, (thank goodness).. tomorrow will be crazy with people everywhere.. it'll take all the patience in the world, I imagine...

I've noticed I've just started bottling it up. My feelings, that is. It truly feels like nobody understands.. and whenever I do try to explain, I always end up feeling like it was ME who messed up in trying to explain.. ah, my favorite defense mechanism, just silencing myself/internalizing... and yeah, I'm the one who has her Masters in Social Work, does therapy/case management to help others.. and my emotions are a mess...

don't get me wrong, I hide it well. I am EXCELLENT at putting on the front.. behaving as if life is perfect and maintaining complete professionalism.. I just notice lately that nobody.. even the people that really get me seem to even notice..

I don't have close friends at work for obvious reasons.. I like alot of my co-workers but have been burned in the past leaving a job and the friends I thought were very close just dropping all contact so my co-workers don't even notice that for at least the past 3 weeks I just sit in my office alone at lunch. I work out in the "country" so there isn't anywhere to really go.... so I just sit quietly, listening to music, thinking... some notice I'm not as talkative.. like 2 co-workers (and my boss) know I'm seeing a fertility doctor. Yeah, they all have toddlers... so that's hard.

It's hard. I try.

Every morning I get up. I am grateful for my husband & our life. But I want more - maybe that's really selfish... the more is wanting a close friend all over again.. not like I can advertise for this.. I've always been a girl that's had a ton of friends.. never an issue.. but with growth&being burned - I've forced myself not to trust so easily, to be careful.. not be as naive as I once was... and while my husband is really supportive.. I want that best friend.. the friend just for me.. not a friend I share with my husband (i.e., a mutual friend or a couple we hang with)... isn't this what we're all looking for?? I feel pretty pathetic even acknowledging this because I don't know how to find that person.. It's pretty rare for me to let someone in deep... maybe I'm losing it..
I know I'm really tired..

My husband and I will see our RE on Tuesday, August 4th. Hopefully next cycle I will ovulate.

I think I'm going to crawl into bed now and either read or knit...

Cosmic Love

Loving this newer artist (newer to the U.S.) Florence & the Machine. I can't help but get an overwhelming feeling that no matter how bad things are or could get in the future maybe....just maybe everything is going to be alright. I believe this song is trying to hit the listener's spiritual side. my interpretation, others will be different.

my happy ending ladies.

I find myself looking at this journey today and wanting to share with you what happened to me. I was going to edit the hell out of this and delete this entire thing and made a conscious decision not to do so.. why is that?  Well, i know what I went through and the amount of online research I did when given many "terms" used in this blog. The "cd" and "ttc" and "BBT" and "clomid" (likely the most evil drug known to man which my body battled and fought for months), "femara" (also evil, used for cancer and ferility ladies), "prometrium" (if u somehow randomly found this in your journey, please send me a message and I'll tell u the hell prometriun is, but that the drug works) "glucophage" (another evil drug, see a trend, also used for diabetics) "IUI", "endometriosis"  "PCOS" and "pain" "lonely" "sad".   It's 2017. So my world...

It's been 8 weeks and a day...

Time.... I'd never imagined it would end like this. In time, something new will grow. How long will it take to feel it? I don't know how to be something that will grow right now. I hope to see the sunshine, lay down on the ground, stare up at the sky and think about what is next. I didn't think I'd live like this..... Time... growth. My days used to revolve around you... Who had a sick need to give... and take it ALL away. I look back with regret.. Why didn't I see this?? I see it all now. Every little piece. i still remember the look on your face when I woke you... i can still feel your energy.. I don't know how to be something that you'll miss.. It's your smile and love I will forever remember... I hope I am something you will miss.. I hope I made an impact on your beautiful life. I will remember the moments...
