Forgive me, blog sistahs, for I have been distracted. Its been about 2 weeks since my last post.
Since my last post.... my grandfather has passed away, a dear friend has been woefully, wrongfully accused of a terrible act and is now embroiled in a despicable legal battle - his children, life and freedom on the line, I have been wrapped up in an appeal to receive funding for school, my brother (a recovering addict) has had a slip up, I've rented 2 rooms in our home, got behind on housekeeping and bills, made 3 jars of homemade ketchup, read 3 books, begun teaching 4 new voice students, have not been to either the naturopath or the chiropractor, decided to go vegan (on my way!), drank too much wine and rum, gained 5 pounds, have not taken my vitamins or herbs and am still not pregnant.
I'm tired. Exhausted really.
Last cycle update indicated I was into the CD60ish range. Its now CD 20. I got CD3 bloodwork taken. I was supposed to go on CD17 for more, but forgot, so I'm going tomorrow instead and just hoping that is ok. My chart indicates I ovulated on CD9 - but that is just based on temperature. I really don't get CM...bad sign, I know. I've also been getting night sweats again. I had that under control for a while....I think I've officially 'fallen off the wagon'. Its all very "peri-menopause-like"...I know.
I'm really hoping that going vegan, on top of getting back on the wagon with herbs and vitamins, etc, will help to restore my body's balance. I know I'm terribly out of balance. All the hormones and toxins in our food supply are just too much for my body to bear, I think. I need to lighten its load...give it a break from battling what SHOULDN'T be in it so it can focus on assimilating what SHOULD be in it!
But, for tonight still, after work I will be coming home to yet another big glass of wine and snuggling up with my cat and a new book.
That's about how much pressure I can take right now.
Sorry for the whiny post. Its about all I have in me today. In a few days I'll post pics of some of the delicious vegan treats I have been making. That will be more fun!

So sorry to hear things have been hard the past 2 weeks, I also lost my grandfather this year so you have my very deepest sympathies. Wishing all comes round in time for you and those close to you. x
ReplyDeleteWow! That sounds like SO much! I feel exhausted just reading that! I'm sorry you're going through that- don't worry about your post sounding whiny, I didn't take it that way all! :-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the wine!
Im sorry to hear of all those dreadful things on top of everything else...but I do look forward to seeing your vegan food as I cant stand red meat whilst being pregnant and looking for vegan inspired food
ReplyDeleteSending hugs and keeping the faith.

Gosh, it sounds like you have been having a tough time. I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather.
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad about a whiny post-your allowed to have them when required!
Wow, going Vegan - that's tough work, I know I could never do it. At that meditation course they only feed vegetarian meals and I was okay with it for the first few days. By the end of it, I think I was dreaming about meat! I responded to your question on my blog about the retreats - there seems to be at least 3 in Canada. Just google "Vipassana Canada" and they all come up.
Wow, you have a lot on your plate! Hang in there.
