How's Everything Else Going?

The other day, I talked to a good friend who kindly listened to me drone on and on about the infertility stuff and IVF and how scary and horrible it is. After a long time, she asked me a very logical question. "How is everything else going?"


I was so embarrassed to realize, and admit, that right now--well, there isn't anything else. Other than the blog, I haven't been writing for fun: too stressed to find inspiration. Because of the hysteroscopy, no swimming, my favorite form of exercise.


I did take up beading, though. It sounds dorky, but it's sort of fun to make your own jewelery. Unlike babymaking, the benefit of jewlery making is that it's immediate. You can string something together in one night. And if you don't like it, you can just start over. And it's cheap. So basically, it's completely unlike babymaking in every way.
