15 things I'd like to learn

In a dream world, I could learn how to do all of these things.

  1. How to sing. I think with some training I could be okay at it.
  2. How to dance. It'd be nice to be able to dance without feeling intensely self-conscious.
  3. How to design clothes. I could finally have dresses that I like and that fit in the fabric I want. What a dream.
  4. How to sew clothes well. I know a basic stitch, so I can mend my stuff but it'd be cool to make my own dresses.
  5. How to make cocktails. Other than a rum and coke, I don't think I can make a single one.
  6. How to do makeup. I got mascara down but that's it.
  7. How to do my hair. I have like one trick and that's it.
  8. How to do a back flip. I just think this would be cool.
  9. Some self-defense moves. I did two classes and enjoyed them, it would be good to do some more.
  10. How to raise one eyebrow. I think this is just a genetic thing, but I think it would be cool to be able to do.
  11. How to French braid. I know it in theory, but not in practice.
  12. How to design escape the rooms. I'm going ot my second one tonight, so it would be cool to be able to design one.
  13. How to like tea. I'm really trying on this one.
  14. How to design a website. I would like to have my own website. Even though I appreciate this blog, it would be nice to have complete control.
  15. How to dress myself well. I honestly don't have a good sense of how to do this.

I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself. Yesterday, I had to get up earlier than normal (6am) so I could make it to my ultrasound at 7am (I have asked for future ultrasounds to be at 8am). I got weighed (ugh), had my blood drawn, and t...

Starting my parental journey, part 8

You can  read part 1 here ,  read part 2 here ,  read part 3 here ,  read part 4 here ,  read part 5 here , read part 6 here , and read part 7 here . I have begun birth control again. Now, that may sound like I'm bailing out of my fertility journey, but it's actually the opposite. In order to get everything ready for the egg retrieval, I need to hop on birth control for a little bit and then hop off. It feels a bit odd to be taking oral birth control, have a birth control arm implant, and be getting ready for an egg retrieval--but that's how it goes (for me at least--getting to keep the arm implant is rare or so I'm told). People have asked me how I'm feeling about this round of egg retrieval and honestly, I haven't thought about it much yet. I am focused on a big stressful event for work and then C2E2 (Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo--basically, Chicago's Comic-Con) which I attend every year. Because of these two events (one stressful, one fun), I del...
