Started spotting, which is A-OKAY. No need for parenthetical consolations or anything.  This cycle was an "if it happens, it’s really inconvenient but we’ll figure something out, people do" cycle, and the next one will be much more convenient, timing wise, so save your good vibes and wishes for then.  And besides, I will have a new iBook to distract me for the rest of my vacation, and then school starts! Yay, school!  That will certainly help keep me occupied during the 2WW and suchlike, no?  I’ll study up on writing widgets or something.  I really can’t wait for the damn iBook.  They said 10 days, but I figure that’s the estimate they give to cover their asses, and wouldn’t it be fabulous if I had it by next weekend? I do think so.
