1.  July is half over!  When did this happen?  Wow!  Italy soon!  Baby soon after that!  Wow!

2.  Yesterday did me good.  I think I must have picked up some kind of a 24 hour bug, because although I napped three times yesterday, I didn’t feel yucky the way I did on Tuesday.  And I slept like a log.

3.  The Boy is more excited about househunting than I am.  This is the same Boy who loves Brooklyn at least as much as he loves playing Civilization.  Or eating steak.  Or, well, anything else that isn’t a person.  I think we might head back to NH next weekend to have another look at the Farm, as well as a look at some other properties we’ve stumbled over online.  We spent our normal “Let’s watch some Friends dvds” time searching real estate sites last night.  And he just poked his head in to ask me to send him the listings of my ’5 favorite properties’.  Holy shit, internets – I think we might really end up doing this!

4.  It’s a coffee morning.  Yay, coffee!  And for the dog, it was a squirrel morning.  And a ‘snuggle in bed once the air conditioner was turned off at 6am’ morning.  A good morning, in other words.

5.  One of the old Italian ladies at the bakery where I go for my morning roll on roll-&-coffee mornings was teasing me about my poor planning, being so heavily pregnant during the hottest part of summer.  “That’s what happens when you’re having fun!”  she cackled.  And, for the first time, rather than biting my tongue to keep from saying something inappropriate about injections, donors, surgeries major & minor, I just laughed with her and said “Yeah, well, you know how it is.”  “Honey, do I ever!”  A most satisfying exchange.  Maybe, eventually, I’ll be able to let this infertility go.  Maybe not, but this morning gave me a bit of hope.
