Transfer tomorrow

Last week was the WORST week.  Possibly the worst work week in my 12 year career of teaching.  I can't get into it online....I never know who may have found me here.  Let's just say that a lot of tears were shed both at school and at home.

Also, Buddy, my loving Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (who lives with my parents) is very ill.  A week ago he was given 3 days to live.  He is still alive.  We were going to put him down twice last week.  My mom cancelled the appointments both days.  It's just too hard to say goodbye to such a loving friend/family member.  He is 12 1/2 and has outlived his father by 2 1/2 years.  Out of the 4 puppies in his litter, two have already died.  Cavaliers are prone to heart disease (mitro valve).  Buddy has this, but it seems to be his kidneys that are failing him now.  He has stopped eating dog food and wants very little people food.  He is still drinking water though, but not much.

Add both of these things to the major estrogen I am taking and there is one emotional girl here.

This weekend I was pretty out of it from all of the tears and late nights.  On Saturday afternoon I took a nap.  When SR woke up as I heard through the monitor, I was so disoriented.  I didn't know why it was light out in the middle of the night.  Then it took me another hour or more to fully wake up - I brought SR into my bed and put Sesame Street on and fell back asleep for a little longer.

Tomorrow is my transfer.  It was originally supposed to be at 10am but they called today to bump me to 9:30...this time is more convenient b/c I can drop SR at school at the normal time and take my time getting to the M. location.  Fingers crossed that my embryo survives the thaw and is viable.  Tomorrow I will be PUPO once again.
