Bits and Bobs

Our vacation to our IF relatives was fun.  We didn't have a big long emotional conversation about IF or anything, but it was always there as an undercurrent.  They are going back to Taiwan to try IVF #2 at the end of March.

One thing I found really dissapointing was their nutrition.  DH said his cousin ate really poorly while she was in University - I think like instant noodles every night type of thing.  Could this have contributed to her tubes being blocked?  I would never say such a thing though.

On the way home (we drove) we stopped at a Per.kins and Cr.acker Barr.el.  I mean - this is fun sometimes food.  Cr.acker Ba.rrel is espeically fun for us since we just don't have that type of food here.  And I know it is mostly older people that frequent these restaurants - but - everyone just looked so unhealthy and doughy.  It was pretty sad.

And we ate ridiculously on the trip, since we were on vacation.  There was a day were our only vegetables were a bit of lettuce and tomato on a fat sandwich.  Yikes.

Which brings me to - man, I got sick.  Sunday night the fever/chills came on.  The day long drive home I was in the back of the car being uncomfortable.  But yesterday - woah, yesterday was rough.  I am the type that had a lot of body pain with a fever.  It hurt to move, so I spent yesterday lying in one spot as much as possible.  Thankfully, I think I sweat it out last night.  Today I am just a normal sort of sick.

I looked up my lenten prayer buddy today - she is me, but 1 year ago.  Sort of breaks the heart.  I hope she doesn't have to go through another year of this!
