"bring ourselves back to ourselves"
I'm trying Dr. Brown's diet cream soda. Not as great as the black cherry version, but still pretty darn good after an 8 hour shift at Sbux. I also have a new drink I like there: the iced passion tea sweetened with raspberry syrup instead of the classic (unflavored) syrup.
I opened at sbux both friday and saturday which meant I had to be there both mornings at 5:15 which meant that I had to wake up by around 4:40. On Saturday, I had a dream that I was floating near the ocean shore. My body was completely limp and the waves were gently nudging me toward the warm sand. I could feel the sun on my face and the soft caressing waves.
Then the alarm on my cell phone blasted its "Hit me with your best shot" ringtone which was a horribly rude awakening at 4:40. But the dream I had has stayed with me very vividly all weekend. I think I'm going to use this image as an aid for relaxation or meditation. Like in church this morning when we did a silent meditation to "bring ourselves back to ourselves," that's what I tried to think about, to bring back that feeling of effortlessness.
Maybe this will also help in our next IUIs or keep me from feeling too stressed out (everyone says stress is the biggest factor that can keep you from getting pregnant).
Target is wonderful. And there's a new store C just learned about here that we went to today after church -- "Bolton's" which has super, super cheap women's clothing. Only their stuff is very nice, professional type clothing but at Old Navy prices. It's fantastic.
gotta make a test for my students at Staten Island tomorrow then go to bed!!!!
When I got home from work, C had just gone to bed a few minutes earlier and so Ruby ran out barking as soon as I put the keys in the door -- she is VERY protective of either of us when we're sleeping, and it's funny when it's only one of us sleeping and Ruby gets into "attack dog" mode (which is a joke since she couldn't and wouldn't hurt a fly) but then as soon as she saw it was me, she acted sort of embarassed, like "oh yeah, it's just you. You live here, I guess it's okay you came in whilel C was sleeping." She's so cute.

That's a very nice dream, and I htink a very nice image to hold on to while you and C progress through this stressful journey. The only thinkg I've dreamed about for the past two days is baked goods, which hasn't helped our diets! Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Please let us know if you need anything!
