Where I’ve Been

Three things have kept me off line these past few days: Harry Potter, my delayed ovulation, and the arrival of a new video game.

I am not finished with HP7. I didn’t used to be, but for some reason I am morphing into a slow reader.  That kills me.

As for the ovulation…ugh. Can I just say that I have not used an OPK or charted my basal temperature in over a year? Once I moved to injectable meds I quit charting and never looked back.  There was this beautiful freedom in handing over my ovulation obsessions to a team of people testing my blood and ultrasounding my ovaries. Oh and the trigger shot…my dear, dear trigger shot.

I am so glad that my FHI is going to be next cycle so that I could do some hoo ha gazing and re-acclimate myself into the world of chart insanity. My body decided to remind me what it is capable of doing when put under stress to perform. I started peeing on those OPKs right on schedule. (cd 11) Expected positive test was cd12-cd14. However…my body played a little joke on me. Silly body! I wasn’t getting a positive at all. Nothing. I seriously began to think that either I had missed my ovulation (which freaked me out) or that I was not ovulating (again, freaked out).

Now I am not sure if there is such a thing as osmosis ovaries. All I will say is that yesterday I had brunch with someone who had just ovulated and when I got home and tested, lo and behold, my girls came through. cd17. Lovely.

But enough vagina talk. It’s too early.

As for the new video game. swoon. I am over the mood about. I won’t go into too much detail (um, because I honestly talked about this game forEVAH at brunch yesterday and I am a little embarrassed) but I will say that it is the Sims 2 Seasons Expansion pack.  And I will say that as a type (lower case) A personality with control issues it is extremely, extremely satisfying.  And I will say that in this game not only do you control the sims, but you get to control the weather. Love it.

    Glad the ovulation happened. It’s always when you want it most badly that it comes late.

    And enjoy your video game. :-)

    Enjoy the game! I’ve never really tried Sims, but I just know that if I did, it’d be all over for me.

    As for being a slow reader, I think it’s the book. It doesn’t really lend itself to quick reading, really. There’s so much going on, that I ended up flipping back and forth to re-check details. That slowed me down.

    It’s never too early for vagina talk.
    And I wish I could control the weather. It’s too f-ing hot here.
    Oh, and I am reading HP7 slowly on purpose. I think it’s good to read it slowly.

    I hear you on the Sims, girl. For Christmas I received the Seasons Expansion pack AS WELL AS the pet expansion back. I am in Sims heaven. I will not lie; there have been occasions when I have spent 12 hours (or more) playing the game. Simply addictive.

    i swear i’m totally getting that game, whether T likes it or not!! ;) If it were possible that i really helped you ovulate, i would be so thrilled! How exciting that you finally got your surge. CD17 is definitely a little late for non-medicated, but at least you know what to expect for your zen experience right around the corner. Yay!

    The weather one is the first Sims expansion that I have not purchased. It just didn’t appeal to me. So what if it is raining or snowing or sunny? But you say it’s fun, huh? I trust your judgement. I may have to try it out.

    Hello, My name is Shannon and I’m a Sims2 Seasons addict. Damn the Sims! LOL. Something about having a bad day and then turning on the mini world in your computer where you have total control!

Got something to say?
