Cranky! January 16, 2005
Oh, yes. I am so damn cranky today that it’s not funny. I have no idea how my husband puts up with me. I’m truly pitiful. I cannot wait to start stims. Not because I’m so excited to see how many follicles pop up, but because I want these damn side effects to stop kicking my ass. Thank goodness for naps. I think I would have completely lost it today without my little catnap this afternoon.
Want to do something fun? Take a Lupron doped woman grocery shopping. Now, I’m totally anal about grocery shopping, because it’s too frustrating otherwise. I always have my list with items listed in the order that we’ll hit them as we make our way throughout the store. I also write the sale price next to the item if applicable so that I can make sure that I’m charged the correct price at the checkout. (Last week I got a free 3 pound bag of chicken breasts that way). And then I always put a star by items that I have a coupon for so I don’t forget to use the darn coupon.
Anyway, today I was prepared as usual but had quite a hard time remembering what to get even though everything was listed right in front of me. My husband and I had made it all the way to the far side of the store when I exclaimed, “I forgot the hotdogs.” We had walked right past the darn things, and they were listed in plain sight on the piece of paper in my hand, but no hotdogs had made it into the cart. We made our way back to get the hotdogs and then back over to the other side to finish our shopping. I thought we were done when I realized that I had forgotten to get hotdog buns, too. Now you would think that even if I had forgotten the buns, I would remember them once I remembered the hotdogs. Oh, no. Not this loopy girl. My husband found it quite entertaining.
So, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that: a) My period shows up soon, b) I get the all clear at my baseline on Thursday, and c) I actually get to start stims on Friday. I so need to be onto the next phase. This one’s getting very old very fast.

Ohhhhhhhhhh, I can’t wait for your cycle to end either! You have such a rough time……..hand in there.
You’re doing great!
Take care.
Your hotdog story is how I USUALLY shop. You mean there’s a better way?
Here’s hoping for stims and the quick end of this phase!
Hey there. I hear you on the grocery store. A similar thing happened to me when I was in one of my Lupron-induced comas. I have a computer list that I made in order of the store i shop in with all of thep roducts I tend to buy. Now before anyone tells me I have too much time on my hands…I have too much time on my hands because I use tools like this ;)
Anyway, it’s not that hard to follow this map of the store and I was running from the freezer section to the produce section the whole time. Like I couldn’t read it in order.
I hope you are stimm’ing soon!!!!

YAY! I am so excited you are getting close. I thought I was the only one who shopped that anally. (I usually write “coup” next to the items for which I have coupons, though). I was wondering when you were going to start feeling like crap, I guess it was somewhat inevitable.
I am really pulling for you!
Thinking of you sweet Amanda.
