Time For a Few Updates December 15, 2005
I hate when I leave stuff hanging, so I’m going to try to post the latest on a few things.
Dan never got sick. Lucky bastard. I don’t know how he managed it since everyone else who was exposed to the virus got sick. Very sick. I guess he’s just a tough cookie.
Muffy is doing well. She’s finished her course of antibiotics and is very happy that we are no longer shoving meds down her throat on a daily basis. She is doing well with her new prescription food. It’s been a bit of a challenge to feed two cats two separate foods, but we’ve settled into a bit of a routine. I was afraid she’d have a hard time switching over to the new food, but I mixed the foods for a while and she’s done fine. At the suggestion of our vet, I bought the kitties an automatic fountain water bowl since Muffy is supposed to drink as much as possible. They love that thing.
I am no longer wanting to puke every time I look in the mirror. My body seems to be cooperating a little better. I even got into my skinny pants today. I’ve been working out really hard, and I guess it’s starting to pay off.
As far as the latest goes, I haven’t been sleeping well. I don’t know what’s up with that, but it’s starting to get on my nerves. I’ve been waking up between 4 and 5am every morning and having the darnedest time going back to sleep. I’ve also been having freaky, freaky nightmares. It hasn’t been pleasant.
It looks like this cycle is going to be another longish one. I should still be starting birth control pills by the end of the month, though. Hopefully having all of the holiday stuff between now and then will help that time go by more quickly. I’m definitely ready to get this next cycle started.
Ok, all caught up. I feel better now.

So glad your kitty is doing well! Good luck on this cycle!
I’m glad to hear about your kitty…I thought about her the other day and meant to ask. Glad you updated us. Sorry about the poor sleep and nightmares…not being able to sleep well SUCKS.
I’m very happy to hear Muffy is doing well! One of my kitties is on prescription food too so I know it can be a little challenging having them eat separate things. Mine always want whatever the other one has so I have to stand watch while they eat.
I’m on the long protocol too unfortunately. At least it looks like we can keep each other company. I start BCP’s tomorrow. I was getting so impatient to get going but, now that I am a step closer, I’m feeling completely scared and anxious….of the whole process but, most of all, I guess of it not working again. :(
I don’t feel like not doing it is an option though so I guess I’ll just forge ahead… and try my best to stop complaining about it!
I LOVE it that you never leave loose ends! I cannot stand it when people tease and never follow up.
You know that I am keeping everything crossed for you for this coming cycle.
I’m glad your kitty is better!
All my love,
I’m so glad MUffy is doing much better, and that Dan didn’t get sick (seriously, isn’t it worse when men get sick?) and that you fit into your skinny pants.
And oh how I hope this cycle is it for you, once and for all already.
Thanks for the update. I am the WORST about following through, myself!! Good luck with this cycle. You deserve it.
Sounds like things are on the upswing. So happy for you - goodness knows it’s about time!
