Whee it's Friday!

First off, thanks so much to everyone who commented on my last post.  I really appreciate that you're out there and supporting me! :) 

Still on the coaster.  Just waiting, now, for something to happen.  AF is due Sunday or Monday so we'll see what comes.  I'm not going to test until at least Tuesday if AF doesn't show.  My temp and some spotting are pretty good indicators of when AF is coming, so I'm usually ready.  The only cycle where I tested was a weird one when my LP was three days longer than usual and my temp was much higher than ever before.  And, all I got was lots of BFNs.  So, it just isn't worth it for me. 

I think I'm just feeling really emotionally drained right now.  My cat is getting worse and I'll probably have to have him put down soon.  :( Last night I cried for about 45 minutes.  Big, gasping, loud, can't catch your breath sobbing.  My eyes were swollen shut I cried so much.  It was for my cat but I think it was also for feeling like AF is coming and it was for the last 16 1/2 months of stress.

It's snowing today.  It's a really pretty, fluffy snow.  I walked in to work today and the snow was sticking to my coat and it was just so beautiful.  (I kept singing "snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes...") We've had about a week or two without snow, so it looks pretty and fresh again.  Winter weather amnesia has set in and I have forgotten for a few minutes what a pain snow really is. 

Anyway, I'm going to enjoy the snow while I'm inside and don't have to think about dealing with it.  Today I'm giving an exam and then this afternoon I'm on an interview team for incoming freshmen.  They are candidates for the most prestigious scholarship we give -- a full ride for all four years including room and board and a big chunk of money for study abroad.  These are some incredible students -- not just academically but overall.  They are leaders, volunteers, etc., etc.  It is so wonderful to read their application packets and talk to them.  It's inspiring.  The one we interviewed yesterday was amazing and so humble you wouldn't believe it.  All I could think is "Wow, I really want to get you in a classroom or a research lab and see what you can do!!"

Waiting impatiently until I can go home and snuggle with my kitty just a little bit more.
