Update

Here's what is on my mind tonight...

• I made it safely to NY, but it took a little longer than normal. My GPS really messed me up in New Jersey. It just randomly sent me off of the highway and, for an hour, put me onto a two-lane road that had about a thousand stop lights. Oh, and I also got behind a couple school buses. Just what you want during an eight hour drive (well, it ended up being a nearly ten hour drive). And the most frustrating thing was there was NO reason for it. The GPS just completely malfunctioned apparently. And I was stupid enough to follow it blindly.

• So perhaps the most-used term since I've been home is "faceplant." Why, you ask? Well, last night, when I was about an hour and a half from my parents' house, my mother called to tell me that my grandfather had fallen and they were headed to the hospital. No one saw it happen, but someone driving by saw him face down in the road (he lives with my parents now, but his house is across the street, which is where he was headed when he fell). He's okay, but broke his nose, and they're trying to figure out if he just tripped, or if something caused the fall, like a heart problem. Those of us who are trained by CSI are pretty sure he didn't just trip, since he fell directly on his face and his hands aren't scuffed up like they would have been if he had attempted to catch himself. He'll be at the hospital for at least another day or two. Please say some prayers for him if you get a chance.

• My grandmother's burial was today. My grandfather had to miss it, of course, which apparently he was relieved about because he was dreading it. It was a nice service. (And in case you're wondering, if someone passes away in my hometown in the winter months, the cemetery makes you wait til spring for burial because they aren't able to dig through the frozen ground).

• Hmmm, what else? Well my doctor called me on Friday as I was driving home. I was talking to Lifehopes when I got a call waiting beep and, for some reason, I didn't even look to see who it was. When I got off with her I checked my voicemail and it was my doctor himself! I can't believe I missed his call! He left a long message, though, and as for the highlights - he didn't think it was a big deal at all that I went without my prolactin medication (although he mentioned something about it being only a day or two, when in reality it was nearly two weeks). He also said how my bloodwork my last few cycles looks great. And said he was going to take care of everything else I called about, like ordering another cycle of Tamoxifen for me and mailing my bloodwork order to my parents' house, since I'll be here for my peak+7-11 draws. He must have looked at my file and seen how many times I've called lately! I bet my file is flagged as a psycho patient!

• I'm on peak +3 today, I think, maybe peak +4. Although I don't believe that my peak day was the same day that I ovulated, if I even do ovulate (after all, that's not something we can just assume).

• I'm getting excited for my sister's bridal shower next Saturday! A lot of planning has gone into it and there's still more to be done. It's gonna be a great time!

Okay, time for me to go to bed. It's only, oh, about five hours earlier than normal for me, but I am exhausted. I think it's yesterday's long drive combined with starting my prolactin medication again (I think it makes me tired at first). Hope you're having a great weekend!
