I’ve been busy with work this week, as well as battling a cold which has left me awfully tired each night, and also partially obsessed with infertility, which is just not very interesting to anyone outside my head. I’m still (perhaps perpetually) busy at work, and the occasional wave of exhaustion is still sneaking up on me and catching me unaware in a meeting or while I’m sitting in traffic. I had a visit with my doctor on Monday, which initially just left me feeling even more depressed – why, why can’t doctors ever give you a straightforward answer? Tell me what you think for crying out loud! – but now John and I have taken what the doctor said and carefully crafted our own plan. Two more tries “acoustically” because my hormonal situation has changed since I’ve lost weight and gotten my diabetes under control. If that doesn’t work, we’ll do one IUI with drugs, and if that doesn’t work, then we take the IVF plunge. In the mean time, John will take a fertility supplement, since they say it can’t hurt, and I will take prenatal vitamins, since they say I should.
It is a relief to have a plan, even if it isn’t a plan that I love. Now that we’ve got that sorted out, I feel better, aside from having a stupid cold that is. My office is a plague zone right now. Half the hall had the stomach flu, and everyone else is catching this cold/sinus/chills thing that I can’t quite seem to shake.
Then, on top of all of that, this has been a very busy TV week for me. After a very long drought, suddenly, shows! Shows that I watch all have new episodes. So I had Rome, and Prison Break and Studio 60 and Veronica Mars and Top Chef to watch. Monday night was chock full o’ disappointments as Prison Break is losing me by taking too long to accomplish anything, and Studio 60 is pushing this weird Josh from the West Wing stalks Jordan and calls it romance storyline that I do not like. I love Steven Weber and Ed Asner though. Love them. I think I would watch a show just about the two of them and their adventures in TV exec-hood. Veronica Mars was awesome as always (and she got back together with Logan! Yay! Even though I know it won’t last!) and Top Chef is such a total addiction for me at this point. Too bad next week is the season finale. But, they’ve set up an excellent showdown, and I’m going to have fun rooting for Marcel to win. That’s right, I said Marcel.
Lest you think I spend too much time on television shows and have no culture, I’ll have you know that I’m taking my dad to the symphony tomorrow night, which was his Christmas present. He’s only called me about it three times this week, so I think maybe he is a little excited. That’s actually kind of nice, and I’m glad I came up with a present he likes so much.
So, what’s going on with you, Internet? Did you watch any good TV this week? Got any weekend plans?
I love Veronica Mars too! I've also really been enjoying Heroes, and it came back this week as well. And you're right about all of the tv coming back suddenly! Our Tivo is overflowing right now from all of the shows this week!
I can't believe you publicly said you are rooting for Marcel -- you might have a bottle thrown at you! ;-)
Count me in on Veronica Mars as well. LOVE! that show. I also watched Heros, Studio 60, American Idol, and Gilmore Girls. Although the latter was really disappointing. I had plans last night so I Tivod Grey's Anatomy and Ugly Betty.
