Quick catchup

So again I've been caught out with something much worse than my pants down - nothing new on my blog. Being that my cognition seems to be permanently kept under a dementor-style fog recently, this will be a very simple update as to what I've done lately.

1) I've managed to develop a head cold (I think this has something to do with the aforementioned fog). Not blaming my husband at all, but Brad had bronchitis last week, and so with both of us coughing and spluttering, we aren't the happiest of campers.

2) I did my first 10 hour shift last week. I thought that was bad enough - but then I ended up at work for 13 hours, courtesy of a particularly messy gynae-oncology case. As fascinating as it was, and as much as I enjoyed it - watching the clock slowly meander along, knowing you were no closer to going home, is not much fun. It was a relief when he left the liver and lungs alone, took one more look at the bowel and said 'no, I think we've done more than enough'. I personally thought we'd done MORE than enough at 6pm - but I'm not about to argue with the best of the best gynaecologists in Queensland (and the lady did need the further procedures at the end of the day)!

3) My email has been hacked - so PLEASE do not send me email until I tell you otherwise. Everything is currently in Chinese, and I can't access it at all, but I'm in the process of working it out. It just seems to be taking longer than Magellan's travel around the globe.

4) I have the school reunion tonight. I'm coordinating, MCing and hosting the event all by myself. I am SO excited about it - however, I will be very glad once it's all over and I don't have a million thoughts running through my head. The School has been excellent though, and definitely made things very easy. The weather is nice, so it means it can be the beautiful gourmet bbq outdoor event I was hoping it to be.

5) Yes, we are trying for a baby. And it's TERRIFYING, EXCITING and BORING all at the same time! LOL. Like countless other friends, I've come to understand the way time stops during two week waits; the joys of CM/CP/BBT/OPKs; and the frustration of not knowing either way (but being careful with food/drinks/what surgery I assist in/all the same!). Any prayers you feel led to send our way for our pregnancy/baby endeavours would be awesome.

So yeah, that's pretty much my life right now. I should be back tomorrow with photos of tonight's reunion.
