changing stuff

For something completely new, I’m here today to tell you about my latest conundrum. Am I crazy? Probably!!
I’ve been working in social policy / community development / community organising in some capacity for about 7 years now. After messing around at uni for a couple of years and paying far more attention to activism than [...]

Still nothing…

Isn’t this exciting? I have something new to be a neurotic, pain in the ass about! My period is still not here! It’s 4 days late now. Is this the drugs? My period is NEVER late. Maybe I’m actually pregnant and my last 2 periods were just a freak of nature. I wander [...]

clockwork

My bloody period (eek – bad pun, unintended) is late. It is never late. I barely/rarely chart anymore because I know that I bleed and ovulate like clockwork. Stupid thyroid meds. Looks like an insemination in November is gonna cost us a packet in OPK’s!!

Dreamer

Last night I dreamed that I had to seek fertility treatment in a clinic. Distressing in itself, because if this was the case, I’d have to go out of state to do it (it’s illegal for dykes and single women to reproduce here…) …But even more distressing was that on the first try, they injected [...]

better

I’m feeling loads better, thanks mostly to having had a lovely weekend, hanging out with Ducks and spending some low-key time with friends.
I never did make it to the Doctor, rather, I let myself get sucked into cyber world and deciphered that what I was experiencing, was indeed, a thyroid dump. Of course, this [...]

rainy windscreen, kristin hersh

I took this photo through the car windscreen, with my crappy camera phone, while waiting in the car for Ducks. I’m impressed with the mood it evokes. It was exactly how I felt that night. Once Ducks was in the car, we ventured across town, through the heavy heavy rain to see Krisitin [...]

the good and the bad

The good news is that we ate amazing food the other night and it was all gluten free…even the amazing chocolate tart I made was without a trace of wheat. I’m still very impressed with myself for that one.
The bad news is that I’m having some not-so-hot side effects from the thyroid meds. At least [...]

dinner guests

You have to look at this blog! Forget the fact that it’s all gluten free if you want. I’m inspired! gluten-free girl! You won’t be disappointed….and nor will our dinner guests tonight who will tonight be fed a gluten-free feast.

sane

We’re doing ok. We’re now four days into gluten and dairy free and we’ve managed to stick pretty close to the rules. I had a minor meltdown last night so Ducks went to the supermarket and picked up a gluten free chocolate cake mix. It cheated a little bit as it had butter [...]

rollercoaster

I am really not enjoying the neurotic rollercoaster person that babymaking is turning me into. I read my previous blog entries and cringe. I want to be sane and level headed and not ruled by ever changing emotions. I want to state the previous sentence and know that it is attainable but after reading over [...]
