June 14, 2000

Aaaaagghhh!!!!! Stinkin' AF showed up yesterday!!! I can tell you that I was NOT happy. Why me? How can this be so impossible to achieve, I feel like we do everything right but it just never happens for us :-( Waaaaaahhhhh.

Tomorrow, I am calling the doctor and I want to get a bit more aggressive about this. After 15 months I've had enough waiting, lets get on with it already! Unfortunately, after the HSG experience I am not interested in any more procedures, but I guess I'll just have to deal with it. I know the HSG isn't so bad for most people but I was not expecting that kind of pain and cramping. I never get any kind of AF cramps or anything so I was really scared by that kind of pain coming from my little uterus!

Yesterday Michel told me that friends of ours who live in London just came back from a little trip to Italy. I am so jealous, I want to live in London and go on trips to Italy. I lived in England when I was a kid and I loved it, I would love to move back there. It would be so great to be so close to Europe. We have both traveled quite a bit and love it! How come everyone else we know seems to be living these exciting lives?

Yesterday was just a stinky day all around! Did I mention I also got a cold sore -- mmm nice! I picked up this charming little virus from Michel just after we were married -- thanks honey. Now I seem to get them more often than he does. I also started my course -- American History. The professor told everyone that it should be a piece of cake because of course everyone has taken American History many times before, in grade five and in high school. I was in the back of the room saying silently, "Not me, not me." I'm from Canada, I don't know what the "verdict of Appomatox" was. Even worse, the professor doesn't believe in tests, we have six papers to write. How is that possible, the course is only six weeks long!!! I'm a big fan of tests, it's so much less work for me. I have a degree in English Literature, I've written SO MANY papers, I never want to write another one. Grrrrrr.

Michel said that yesterday was our 'bad day of June' so it's all uphill from here. We only get one really bad day per month. I hope he's right!

So here's hoping things are on an up-swing in our house!
