Time to re-focus

OK, so I'm going with a bulleted list because there's a lot to say and I've been a tad overwhelmed lately.

• First, here's the giant bag o' meds!  My DH sent the pic to a friend of his and said "Rebecca's basically a giant pin cushion and probe depository right now."
• An update from Monday's appointment -- "a team" of nice looking follies on each side, maybe 6 or7 on each?  Hard to say.  One measurable one on the right at 10 mm.  Hopefully the others will catch up with it or it will slow down.  E2 was 246 and we stuck with the same Follistim 225 IU plan and my next check is today.
• You know you've been going to the RE too long when they scan over to your ovary (that first came out as "they scan overy...") and you see the follie and can predict its size down to the mm before the nurse measures it.
• Thanks for all the thoughtful comments on my post about my mom.  It felt good just to get it all out there. I haven't sent the message to her, yet.  First because I've been insanely busy (see below).  Then, yesterday I got a message from her saying that K is having a cerclage put in today after some worrying cervical shortening.  And, now I feel petty and guilty and very, very worried for her.  
• Also, yesterday I got a surprise Rosh Hashanah care package from my mother that made me cry it was so sweet.  
• What else?  Oh, yeah, the busy thing.  Every waking hour for the last week (and much of the weeks before that) has been spent working on a huge grant application with two other faculty members that was due yesterday afternoon (the campus grants officer pushed the "submit" button a whole hour early, even!).  And, I do actually mean every waking hour. And, there were far too many waking hours.  If I wasn't in a classroom, driving to an appointment or in the stirrups I was in a windowless room typing and editing.  Exhausting and probably a really bad idea to do right now.    I've been shooting up FSH in the women's room at work every night and trying to meditate whenever there was any down time.  This was a terrible amount of stress to put on myself right now.  It was distracting (I've barely realized I'm in the middle of an IVF cycle), though, and at least it didn't happen next week.
• So now when what I really need to do is catch up on sleep and the grading I've been putting off for writing, we have company coming this weekend!  And, I can't begin to describe how much of a mess the house is.  Blah.  These are good friends we've been trying to schedule a visit with forever, so I'm really glad to see them. I'd warned my DH that this wasn't going to be a good time for them to come visit but it was the only time that worked for them.  So, I don't know how, but in the next two days I have to clean all night long so that there's a bed for them to sleep on and the bathroom isn't gross despite the fact that I also have an insane amount of work to catch up on and really just want to curl up on the sofa.  
• Can you say stressed?  I cannot believe I've managed to let myself get this stressed in a time when I really need to be focused on myself and being calm.  Ugh.
• Speaking of which -- oh, yeah, was it ICLW this week?  Yeah, that didn't work. Sorry about that everyone.  And, sorry for being a generally sucky blog commenter this week.
• Anywho.  Time to refocus and recenter.  Hoping for some nice, evenly developed follies later. 
• Think I'll try to meditate before my class which will then be followed by the 90 minute sprint to the RE and race back just in time to shove food down my throat before lab starts.

No, I'm not stressed at all.  Why do you ask?
