Days of Grace 1-6-10
1. I woke up Hungry this morning, so, oddly, that made me want to see how much weight I gained over the holidays. I guess to decide if I should have a big breakfast or a little breakfast? Imagine my delight when I realized I lost weight. Not a lot. A pound. But since I’ve been drinking water like mad, I know it’s not water-loss. My oatmeal this morning is muy delicioso.
2. My beautiful lamp chop last night wasn’t anywhere near as appetizing as it is when I have it rare & bloody and still baahing at me. That somewhat underdone broccoli, though? MMMMmmmmmmm!!!!! Broccoli!!!!!
3. I scored major points at work yesterday by being so bored that I deigned to shelve DVDs. Realize there’s a strict hierarchy of duties at most libraries and librarians tend to be more protective of their ‘do nothing’ rights than many professionals I’ve worked with, probably because of the Big Education = Tiny Status thing. But my boss saw me shelving and, several times throughout the day, commented on how glad she was that I’m at her branch. That’s my plan, lady. Make ya wanna keep me.
4. I’m feeling relatively calm (well, underneath the prednisone frenzy, anyway,) and ok about this cycle. I think I’m pregnant, I really do, and so I’m not tormenting myself with what-if?s. This is a nice zen-like feeling that I’d really like to be able to preserve through an actual pregnancy, as well.
Yeah.
Wish me luck with that one.
5. I woke up with all sorts of ideas about what to do with my scads of free time. This hasn’t happened often, lately, and I’m welcoming the new-brain feel of this new year. Thanks, 2010. So far, you’re kicking 2009′s ass, as far as livability goes…
I’m so excited for you! Glad things are going so well – and I love your new job post, hope it keeps lasting and lasting. I’ve had excellent luck with temporary jobs turning into permanent ones.
I’m feeling you on the steroid frenzy. This dexamethasone is kicking my ass. Yay for losing weight at the holidays and during an IVF cycle girl. You rock.
good luck with 9 months of zen, and a lifetime of momhood!
I want to borrow your lap dog, (Does she love others or is it all you?)
my cat is a rotten snuggler most of the time.
sending love from the sarasota airport,

Enjoy that Zen–it’s an accomplishment just to feel it!
I know what you mean about librarian hierarchy; my sister, who is in library school, and is the mid level one (assistant?) is in a constant fight with the woman who is lower, who wants to act as if she is THE LIBRARIAN. Oy.
Happy to hear about your zen zone….
May it continue 
Yay for zen! Yay for nice bosses!!
Oh, I do hope you’re right! Wouldn’t that be a lovely start to the new year?!?!
Hi Sweetie,
Re:#4– Yes, you are! Yes, you are! YES, you ARE!!
Love & Blessings, Mom
Hey! If you’re serious about that pee party you mentioned in my comments, then I’m down
.
I wish our library had even just one person like you. I would hunt you down every time I showed up! We’ve got people who say, “Are you serious?” if you ask them a question. Swear, it happened to me.
The suspense is killing me! You are amazing, keep it up and I cannot wait to see some bfp news – and your mom’s comment made me cry.
Hey – just wanted to let you know I will be stalking your blog for updates!!!! Thinking of you.
