3 days weekend

I am glad I am off tomorrow for Veteran's day.  That's one of the benefits of working for a government... :)
My period must be coming in a few days, my appetite has increased and I have been eating like a hog.
I cooked up some liver for our dinner.  Tim likes it, too.  Then again, there's not many things Tim wouldn't eat.  I never really hated liver. My mother fed me and my brother liver before anybody else had a chance to tell us we were supposed to hate liver.  Not that I particularly liked it, but I didn't really have any opinions about it.  To me, it was just another meat.  Lately though, I really appreciate the sweetness of the liver.  The thing is, you cannot take liver, cook it like you'd cook a piece of steak and expect it to be any good.  You need to put the right sauce and spices.  It's so cheap plus is packed with so much nutrition.  I will be bleeding out in a few days so I might as well prepare myself by eating iron and vitamin B12 packed deliciousness.

I ate, studied a little, took a nap, ate, studied a little, took a nap, and repeated the process all day.  Classic PMS symptoms.  Ughhh.    It's hot here today, too.  Sleepy, feeling hot, sore boobs...  I wish all these things were the early pregnancy signs, but no such luck.

I talked to my best friend in Japan from high school last night.  She just had a baby and he is 4 months old.  Unlike some other people I know, she is very appreciative about the whole things.  It's not that she struggled to get pregnant, but she just doesn't go around and complain about everything like others.  I think what gets on my nerves about certain mothers are their ungratefulness.   Even after knowing our situations, she doesn't try to offer me some advice or act like a know it all.  She certainly does not tell me "to relax."  "Just relax, and it will happen. Stop counting days and checking for your ovulation. You can't get pregnant because you are trying so hard and stressing yourself out"  This is a sure way to piss me off.  How can people be so f**ing ignorant.  Infertility is a disease.  Just like a person with a heart condition or cancer.  I dare them to go up to a cancer patient and say "Just relax and you'll be cured.  You know why you got cancer, because you are always stressed out."   I said this to ones who told me to relax.  Most people understand if I put it like that, but it's sad to say some laughs and says I am being oversensitive and my problem is not as serious like cancer.   F**** them.

I just filled out adoption form for two dachshunds who are given up because the owner is having a human baby.  I don't know the circumstances so I cannot judge, but I would take them both.  I hope I get them as an addition to our family.  Tim is wondering I could be pregnant.  Speaking of, I did try and go get pet rabbit when I was pregnant long time ago...  If this is happening to me again this time, I will be so happy.  Although I doubt it.  I just love dachshund and I am in a position to care for them.

  1. That's so sweet you are adopting those puppies. You have a good heart. I just don't understand it when women give up their pets just b/c they had a baby. It's just so wrong.

    And as you told me yesterday, you're not out until your period shows up. I have my fingers crossed for you and I'm hoping and praying. My husband also does that "I think you're pregnant" thing ... although it's cute, sometimes I wish he wouldn't, just gives false hope (most of my "symptoms" are from the progesterone suppositories or could also be PMS) and then he gets disappointed when my period comes. Sigh ... the innocence and optimism of our husbands huh?

    P.S. you're lucky to have today off - I'll be working!

  2. I agree. Are they going to give up their child, too when something new and better comes along? I called the number and left a message, but nobody has called me back yet. They are in Miami and it takes me over four hours to drive there, so maybe they are already adopted by someone cl,oser. :(

    I should practice what I preach. I need to keep my hopes up. I think trying not to be so optimistic is our defense mechanism so we don't get so disappointed.

    Have a good day at work today!
