Birthday weekends and sick days
I’m off sick today. My mood has been a bit all over the place so I decided a duvet day was in order. Of course being sick the day after my birthday weekend probably wasn’t the brightest idea in the book. Nevertheless, its done now, I can go in early tomorrow and work my ass off as the deadline is looming for the project. 5th of September is when we are set to switch everything live. Its no wonder the project manager looks stressed. I think we should buy him a stress ball. The last few days have been a bit maniac. We finally caught up with our man as he was holidays and we told him about the new clinic
and how they are adamant we can’t use a known donor. After coming so far on this journey all of us, it was a sad ending. But he’s as laid back as they come, I guess we wouldn’t have wanted his babies if he wasn’t a nice guy and he’s fine about it. So now we have to meet with the new clinic again. We’ve got in contact with Kilkenny and asked them to pass all the paperwork over. We need to meet with the counseller woman again just to confirm certain things about the procedure. Which by the way they don’t knock you out for. Needless to say I was having some trouble talking to my bits about that. They were having none of it after the last ‘episode’. Mammy2 decided to do lots of reading after the counseller said there as a name for it and its not a big deal etc. It might not be a big deal for her
but its not her bits. I told Mammy2 not to be up to no good whilst I was asleep and starting trying out things to see how my bits would handle some traffic. The last thing I need to happen when I am heading to work is for a few spoons, forks etc to fall out of me. Next thing you know there’s a new Luas stop down there because she’s been testing out different things. I’m sure that’s more then enough information about my body then you needed to know. Next meeting is the 12th of Septemeber, then its a medical and then its off we toddle with our ovulation kit.
You know the way some people think I’m a bit strange? Well, they do. Hard as it is to believe. When I am nervous I tend to babble to revert to humour as a defence mechanism. After a really serious and intense one hour session with the counseller, she moved onto to the basics about the body and
asked about ovulation and how did I know when it was happening etc. I explained about all the stuff and then finished by saying
“Oh yeah and I eye up lots of big shouldered men”
She paused in her writing to look at me first and then Mammy2 who jumped in and said
“Basically what Shelly is trying to say is there is an increase in libido not that she starts chasing men or anything. We are in a completly monogamous relationship”.
Thankfully she just smiled and nodded as if she understand. She most likely wrote down “becomes barmier then usual at this time of the month”
The bday weekend was great fun, drinkies with the work colleagues on the Friday night and dinner with the mates A and S on the Sat. Mammy2 got me a stetson and a cool Westmeath t-shirt. I was well chuffed. I shall have to get the spurs and the hoss now and I shall be sorted. I did no work over the weekend as a result of wining and dining so there was a bit piling up for today. In between working and housework, I found some new gay films or I should say laserbeam films coming out. The World Unseen looks great and I can’t think Straight also looks fab. Good old Lisa Ray is getting around, starring in both. I don’t think I have seen her in anything
so it will be interesting to check out what she’s like. It will also be nice to watch a lesbian film without angst and pouting although if you check out the trailers I’m pretty sure they both have a bit of angst considering the storyline. Speaking of laserbeams, apparently one of the Veronica’s has expressed an interest in the fairer sex. Well, I mean its only natural after all. And she’s gone one step futher and decided to sing about it. Check out the vid here. Very subtle eh?
