15 things I'm looking forward to

I've been a bit down lately, so I decided just to come up with a list of things I'm looking forward to, some are immediate, some are far off.

  1. My first drag show. Tonight I'm going with dear friends to my first drag show. I'm very excited for it and am watching this week's Drag Race right now.
  2. My friend Kimisha visiting me. In just a few weeks, I'll get to see my dear friend Kimisha and it will be so good.
  3. Seeing my friend Diana's Connemara cottage. She posts photos all the time and I cannot wait to see it.
  4. Another escape the room. Hopefully some of us are doing it next week and we can escape again.
  5. The rest of the final season of Game of Thrones. I finally figured out a way to watch it here, so I'm pumped to see what happens.
  6. The rest of this season of Drag Race. I'm too invested now, I know. I like too many of the ones who are still there.
  7. The live taping of Why Won't You Date Me? with Brigid. Nicole Byer is a treat and a dream, so I'm excited to see her live.
  8. My brother getting married. Cory is marrying an incredible woman and I couldn't be more excited for them.
  9. My dear friend Leah getting married. In September I'm going to have the delight of watching up close my dear friend get married.
  10. Taking some more pop vinyl pictures. I've been behind on these lately, but I'm excited to do some more. I do have a few ideas.
  11. Being back in Chicago. I'm definitely going to miss Galway, but I also miss my friends and family back home.
  12. Getting to spend time with my nephew. He's gotten so big and I want to be there as he continues to grow. Photos are great, but they don't beat holding him (although now that he's so big, we'll see how long I can sustain that).
  13. Having my finals done. I have 1 out of 4 done. Wish me luck.
  14. Looking for jobs. Yes, there is some dread for this too, but there are some ideas that excite me.
  15. Getting a manicure. I think I should get one and it will be nice.

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...
