Stop scrolling, drink some water. Stretch a little. Take a shower. Put on comfortable clothes. Learn that thing you’ve always wanted to learn to do. Resist the urge to be scared of failure... or of change. Try to be kind.
Above all else, know that you’re enough, just as you are.

Okay, now I’m choosing to think of this IVF cycle as a test run where we learned some things that do and don’t work and not a failure.
Egg retrieval day tomorrow! Don’t know why of everything so far, this is the part I’m nervous about.
Sometimes I really resent taking ADHD drugs. Yesterday I called to refill my prescription (which pharmacy has on file but I can’t request refill except through phone because it’s controlled). They said they were going to fill it and it’d be available by the end of the day.
Then I see the prescription go from in progress to not on the system at all. I call today to find out that because my doctor is based out of a different city, they need to know when I last saw him and that’s not noted anywhere and they called and got no answer so can’t fill.
Had a dental deep cleaning and filling put in without anesthetic just to see if I could. It wasn’t that bad!
If I had known that having a higher estrogen level was going to make my usual immune response (which is already pretty excessive) to bug bites significantly worse, I would have probably NOT decided it would be fun to go bird watching in nature.
It is wild to me that birth control pills come with a table of death statistics due to different methods of birth control compared to death rates due to birth complications. Like… what? Is that so you’re like “oh, well, having a baby would be WAY more likely to result in death”?
That feeling when you pick up a prescription and read the messages printed on the bottle and one of them is “Read The Patient Information Leaflet That Came With This Medicine” but the pharmacist did not include a patient information leaflet. 😅
I have always felt like the whole “let’s not give a yellow for this CLEARLY YELLOW CARD BEHAVIOR because the person’s already on a yellow and this shouldn’t be a red” is ridiculous. If you’re on a yellow, you SHOULD BE CAUTIOUS because you’ve been cautioned!

I sometimes wish some emergency alerts didn’t make really loud sounds on my phone in the middle of the night. Example: flash flood warning. The warning is to not leave your home. I will not do that in my sleep. 😭 I feel like it should only make sound if I need to evacuate.
One of my best friends described us as being were-British today and I think it’s my new favorite thing.
Today I learned that apparently not everyone sometimes gets the sensation where it feels like your face is burning up from the inside and your eyes are hot even though your face is cool to the touch. Good for y’all, I guess. 😂
I may have gone a little overboard with my warp grass.

Apparently, I’m the only one at my local Starbucks ordering Yuzu Citrus Blossom and they’re going to be discontinued in June. Womp womp.
