So, yeah, I had to look up what CD I’m on. Thank god for mymonthlycycles.com, I’m on CD35.
This month has been odd. I haven’t obsessed nearly as much as I have in any other month. I’ve almost forgotten that I’m waiting. I had a weird CM question last week, but that’s it. I’ve lurked on my waiting messageboards, but haven’t had much to say. I’m just. . . . ambivalent.
Y’all know I’m a little odd in my patterned thinking of signs, but I always feel safest flying right after a plane crash, and I tend to think you can’t win two jackpots. Now I’m wondering if I’m going to end up with either grad school funding, or a baby, but not both. I certainly couldn’t have both, I’m thinking.
And which will it be? Which do I want more? I want both, you know? A baby, more, sure, but without that, then funding. I love my program so much, and I love being at the university, and I love being in the basement lab, working away and making some cool stuff. I feel it so completely when I’m there. And today, my prof was talking to me and another student about SAHM-ing. The prof is super-Christian (Honestly, one of the things that I don’t think I would like about lab assisting would be listening to his Christian music All. Day. Long. As apparently, that’s what he does.) and was saying that SAHM-ing is the best thing, and I agree with that — to a point. I said "It’s great to be a stay at home mom until they foreclose on the HOME part." I think that for us, it will be more of a 60/40 solution type situation, where there will probably need to be some non-parent care, but hopefully at or less than 1/3 of our working time. . .. and grad school would be great for that.
But, anyway, yeah. See? This is supposed to be a babyish post, and it’s going back to grad school, because I am so not even paying attention to the babyish stuff. Sure, a surreptitious boob poke here and there, and a general wondering, but google has YET to become involved. I havent even asked CTG about her tits yet, and I’m almost done the wait! I’m thinking I’ll test on Sunday, if I haven’t started.
So, yeah. CD35. Anyone else?
