This week has been hard. Ever since we got back from our weekend trip on Sunday I've had a cold, so I'm dealing with sore throat/congestion/headache. Then with the HSG there was cramping that I'm still getting on and off. Plus the stress of rushing around to appointments and school and dealing with clients...I'm just TIRED. I just got in bed for like a half hour and it made my stomach feel a bit better.
We're supposed to get SERIOUS snow this weekend, maybe more than 2 feet! Is it weird that I'm excited about it? I just want to get under a blanket and drink blue moon (or hot chocolate) and watch movies or something.
I need to call the Doctor about starting provera..maybe I'll do that now.
TGIF!

Words to Live By
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
