Getting my Fitness Act Together

Right, so I’ve been out of the gym now probably for 3-4 months! Pathetic!
I was in such a good nick and then I went on Metformin (Glucophage) which had me hugging the toilet for several days and feeling faint during training, and despite me going off of treatment after only a week, I’ve never been [...]

Speaking of being tired…

This letter was featured in the NYT and Jeremy read it on Highveld the other day.  I had such a good laugh…enjoy!
Letter from 98 year old lady to her banker:
Dear Sir:
I am writing to thank you for bouncing my check with which I endeavored to pay my plumber last month.
By my calculations, three nanoseconds must [...]

A Place of Quiet

My FIL sent me a poem.
Plaashek
Bloedrooi die alwyn langs
die slingerpad.
Dis of daar vonke uit
elk vuurpyl spat.
Maar niks, niks roer nie…net
‘n luggie wat
skrams aan die ritselende grassate vat.
Daarbo die blou, blou lug,
daaronder die rivier
wat deur die boorde kronkel met
‘n groen swier.
Niks stoor die yle swewende
Bergstilte hier.
Na al die jare maak ek weer
‘n plaashek oop.
Waar het [...]

A stroll down memory lane… *warning fanny bits under discussion*

Today I recall one of the most hallarious threads in the lifetime of Fertilicare :
THose of you that have been part of such communities will smile upon this one.

So I told a dog…

I told her about my aspirations to become an egg donor and ultimately one day a surrogate…

Hysterical laughter ensued…
I don’t get this dog? *scratching head* So much for a man’s best friend…

Why it helps to call the handyman…

It’s Saturday, the weather is fine, fine, fine…starved for a little barbie/braai I head out to our patio, set up the Weber and I light a fire.  DH is on his way back from a course.
Now, the fire is alight and I feel rather agitated by our sliding door that keeps getting stuck.  This is [...]

Work Ethic & Purposeful Living

I’m a bit of a lazy ass, by some people’s standards, a workaholic by other’s and the gears in my mind are constantly churning on this.  When am I working enough?  When am I working too little, what does work mean in my life? What do I want to be doing?  What do I enjoy [...]

The Follow Up

Ok, so I arrived papers in hand, with one or two pet theories on my IVF failure.
Theory no. 1 – I have some immunological problem preventing me from falling pregnant.
Theory no. 2 – We’re doing something wrong with the protocol.
Theory no.3 – Bad luck, let’s try again.
My mind was stuck on the above, maybe because [...]

Yes, well, perhaps I do…

I’m staring at the pile of notes that I’m taking to my FS today, and suddenly I have an epiphany…now where is that number for that shrink…
Thank you Shaz…I can always count on you for telling it like it is and keeping me on track.

Questions to ask after a failed IVF

Ok, so it’s almost follow-up time.
On the one hand it feels rather futile, almost like asking why someone died when they did.  It just happens. Shit happens.  On the other hand I need to make responsible decisions, but how far does one take the questioning and the seeking for more answers?
I do believe that I’m [...]
