15 thoughts on my 2,000th post

Happy 2K!

  1. I think I've made this blog more personal as time goes on
  2. I need more prompts (both listicles and ones that may lead to a piece I'd like to publish)
  3. I'm proud of keeping this going even though it's been a while since I felt truly inspired
  4. I hope some people like the D&D content I put on here (if not, oh well, it helps me)
  5. The balance of listicle post vs non-listicle post helps me keep pace
  6. Doing a few reality TV show reviews helps me pay more attention to what I'm watching and give myself a break when I need it
  7. I want to write more publishable (beyond this blog) content
  8. I want to engage my audience more (not that it's large, but still)
  9. Would people be interested in seeing my photography?
  10. Should I try my hand at more poetry?
  11. I recently uncovered even older works of mine; would people be interested in reading them?
  12. I think I might try doing some more posts where I have to do historical research so I can learn more
  13. Maybe I'll try a MadLibs post (I'll write the page, delete the words, solicit the missing words, then post the completed MadLib alone)
  14. I might work more writing (not necessarily for this blog) into my therapy
  15. I appreciate you all for reading!

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...
