Good Golly!

By golly, I mean-what an eventful few days of "rest."

So Wednesday was normal. I went to school, taught until my guidance counselor took over at the end of the day (Huge thanks to Ashlyn for switching my class days and thank you Danielle!) When I left school, I went home to pick up Matt and we headed over to Fertility and Endocrine. It was totally uneventful and super relaxing. We waltzed in, asked questions and got great answers. We took care of  business and completed the transfer with zero hesitation. My body was cooperative and my doctors were confident. I had one job to do! Stay warm and relax! 

So we ordered a delicious meal, picked it up on the way home and Matt realized they forgot my favorite part (dessert!) sooooo being wonderful- he drove back to Louisville to get that dessert. <3 Amazon then delivered "Hilariously Infertile" a book that I had been waiting to read for just this opportunity. I finished it too quickly though- while Lucy read her library books. :) We shared dessert- even though Lucy told Matt that "momma never shares her cake with me!" And then we rested! 

Then we woke up on Thursday.... and at 6:15 our power went out. We also got the notification that school was canceled, so that was kind of funny since I wasn't going to be there anyway. Matt had to go to work anyway and Gran, (even though she didn't have power either!!) came and got Lucy. Thursday was still okay though, because it hadn't gotten too cold. I snuggled, read three more books, checked on the power outage situation and walked around the house. Gran and Dallas brought me lunch and life was chill. And then it started snowing! We joined family for a delicious dinner and cousin time. 
Things get interesting when you have no power and its time to go to bed. It's not so much the cold- who am I kidding, it was too cold- but the silence is so much worse! We put batteries in Lucy's sound machine and with fleece jammies and cuddly blankets, she was fine. I, on the other hand, slept 3 hours total. When the night finally ended, I immediately made arrangements for Friday night.  Gran's power had come back on and she picked Lucy up and I.... I had to wait on progesterone to be delivered to my house, my cold house. I decided sitting in my car with the heat on and phone charging was my best bet on getting my delivery quickly. I was so wrong. 
I kept tracking my package, which was to arrive at 10:30. Well, 10:30 came and went and the tracking on FedEx showed the deliver driver had skipped my stop. Any other day, that probably would have been fine. But when I am sitting in my car waiting and I will not be home later because there is no power, and you are supposed to be delivering the vial that I am injecting into my body every night- well, thats just not okay. So I call FedEx, get some info from dispatch- after letting them know exactly how I feel about being skipped on the delivery route.. and drive on over to where the FedEx delivery guy is chowing down on his lunch. I politely(Yea right, I was steaming) waited on him for OVER AN HOUR to finish his lunch and approach him to ask if I can get my package(essentially doing his job for him since he will no longer have to deliver it). He responds with "no" and thats just not good business either. So I continue to wait in the parking lot stating in front of the FedEx truck- lets just say, the cold was not a problem anymore.  I was trying not to stress, but after three hours of cold sleep, knowing I wouldn't be home later and needing that progesterone for later that night-it was hard to use positive intent. I didn't even say thank you. Looking back, I could've done a lot worse, but I felt super justifiably rude. 

After I got my progesterone vial, life was back to almost fine. I actually went to see Instant Family at the movie theatre by myself. It was a great movie. I am going to blame it on the hormones, lack of sleep and recent experiences but I cried, and I laughed and I cried some more. It was only a little awkward when a sweet older lady followed me out of the theatre to ask if I was okay. 
After I recovered, I was missing my baby and went to get Lucy. Then, we met friends at a new little ice cream place that was celebrating a grand opening. It was so cute, although crowded and I was looking ROUGH- so we avoided the cameras at all costs! I was able to breathe and laugh and that might've saved me! 

We waited for Matt to get done with work and went somewhere warm for the night!! A sweet, sleepy, dreamy, cozy, warm, TWELVE hours of sleep later and the world looks a lot nicer. Saturday was lovely. Lucy got to go be a big girl and see the Wizard of Oz with Beth and the girls and Matt and I saw Mike Ryan (new country band) at a small concert where we were able to sit and sing along the whole time. Sunday was fun too, lots of hanging out- also blowing the leaves, mowing the grass and doing laundry. 
It's hard not be active, but I took a picture of the doctors orders to keep reminding myself to take it easy. Three days of rest, then two weeks of just walking- no running, no horseback riding, no walking large dogs that would pull on leashes. :) I can handle that- but that means no kickball on Tuesday and that's rough.  Two weeks, I can handle two weeks! 
It makes it especially easy because we only have two days of school this week! Then Thanksgiving is happening! If I can just make it to the 28th, then I'll have some news to work with! Until then, think positive and send me patience if you have any extra! <3
I just love everyone so much! Receiving well wishes all the way from Florida in the middle of the FedEx fiasco was exactly what I needed to keep it together- KIM!!! <3 Just knowing everyone is ready and supportive and willing to be part of this is super cool. I always know you all have my back! Love to you!!
