I'm not sick, yes I am, No, Yes...
So, I was feeling better this morning. Then it washed over me like a wave crashing. I went a took a nap for about two hour (piled the blankets on) and woke up feeling better. My headache is gone but again, I still don't feel "well".

I'm going to be a sloth today. I'm not doing anything. Lots of fluids and rest. I HAVE to feel better to drive tomorrow.

Also, someone commented the other day about when I said it was cheaper to drive so far versus flying...And, if you just compare the gas to the plane ticket it isn't much cheaper at all. But, the airport is about 1.5-2 hours away from me so I still have to drive that and then pay about $50 in the long term parking lot for the length of time I'll be gone. Then, I would still have to rent a car on the other end because since it is a surprise only 3 people know I am coming into town. Two of them will be working and the third person is my sister who I can't see until the party because my nephews will blow my cover. They are horrible secret keepers. So, in the long run it is much cheaper for me to drive...even though it sucks.

Ok, I'm off to find some lunch and then back to the couch until I have to pack tonight...

Perfect Timing
I think I am getting sick. Last night I was freezing cold but BigP said my face felt warm to him. I had chills and my joints were achy. This morning I feel much better but now I have a horrible headache and still don't feel "well".

The last thing I want to do is drive for a whole day. UGH.

As of right now I still plan on leaving in the morning and heading to Virginia. I may end up staying in a hotel over night if this doesn't clear up, instead of driving through the night.

I definitely think a nap is in order today...as soon as I finish painting the letters.

I am painting letters for the nursery. Here they are after one coat of paint:



And, yes, that is her name...

Another Trip
I got an invitation at the end of last week for a surprise party for my parents. So, I am going to be gone again.

My Dad is a Reverend and he is going to a new church. In their religion they have the option of moving every year but usually stay for a couple. My parents have been at this current church for eight years. The Bishop decided it was time for them to go to another church.

My parents will be moving out of the area of Virginia where all of our family is. So my family is throwing a party for them to see them one last time as a large clan before they move. Since most holidays fall on Sundays or around religious days, my parents won't get to spend those days with the family and my family isn't good about getting us all together most of the time anyways.

My parents think that they are going to my cousin's home to bless the house...which they are, they just don't know everyone else with be there. They definitely don't know I will be there. I'm very excited about seeing my family. While I have seen my sister and parents I haven't seen some of my other family members in years.

I'm just dreading the drive. It used to take me about twenty hours to drive but since I currently pee every thirty minutes, it will take longer. I thought about flying but it is so expensive to fly that it is actually cheaper for gas and vehicle maintenance for me to drive. Crazy.

I'm not leaving until probably Thursday, maybe Friday...so I will be around. But commenting won't happen after Wednesday night and it will take me forever to catch up on your blogs, AGAIN.

As of right now, I don't have any more trips planned until August.

Blogoversary and Anniversary
Yesterday was my second blogoversary. This blog surely has transformed over the last two years. Or maybe it hasn't. Maybe it is just this community and infertility that has changed me.

Today is our sixth wedding anniversary. We have both transformed over the years. It has flown by and our biggest fight is still about what we are going to eat for dinner.


Thanks for being part of my life for the last two years. I wouldn't have made it without your support and wisdom.
