The Arse End of the World.

Vale, Saeco Incanto. We got back home from our holiday ... to find our kickarse coffee machine broken. BROKEN I TELL YOU! Did I happen to mention how serious I was about coffee?
No? That when I entered the world of recovery, I gave up booze and drugs and ciggies ... but slug soy lattes back with wild abandon? However, said broken coffee machine is most definitely a sign - I knew I needed to give up anyway, as it's detrimental to babymaking. I shall have to lean heavily on my last remaining vice .... fucken swearing.

On the babymaking front ... I am the proud owner of a PROTOCOL. I'm so thrilled.

AF Thursday 12th July
BCP Saturday 14th July
Synarel (or Lucrin) 2nd August
Puregon (or Gonal F) 17th August
Bloodtests, Ultrasounds, etc
Egg Collection 29th-31 August
Embro Transfer 3rd September

I have waited so long to have this piece of paper in my hand. That says embryo TRANSFER, in black and white. I hope and pray and whisper to the universe every day that it will happen.

We all had a lovely time away - was so lovely seeing Tiger and his sister play together. He is going to be the best big brother. I was very sick with a throat infection, but kept saying I'd prefer to be sick in 23 degree weather than 3 degree weather!! (Celcius that is). It's so nice to be home - I need to drum up more work for myself, and time off makes me itchy to write more articles. I have a column in one mag on eco friendly building practices, which is great because it's regular income. But as a freelancer I need to create my own work, which is actually going really well. Mr TC is pleased with the extra income coming in.


It's late, so in a nutshell - here is my Virtual World Tour: (It's not too late - why don't you do it too?)

* I live in NSW

* You freeze your balls off in winter

* I have that miracles are possible and happen every day.



* I have a beautiful view from my bath. Here is my bathroom ...



... I told my sisters to stop pitying me that I couldn't have a drink with them anymore - I get to have a spa in this fucker!





So, in conclusion, if you're ever in this neck of the woods (literally) - look me up. I'll be the swearing chick sipping peppermint tea.


A special shoutout to Maya at Gemini Girl, who proved once and for all that a pregnant woman is sexier than a stripper. Hell yeah!!


I have much more to say in regards to

a) blogging b) babies and c) blogging about babies


However it nearly midnight, and I have to creep in to bed AGAIN, trying not to wake Mr TC. Does anyone else have that problem??

If I was a rockstar I would stay up all night and sleep all day. But I am not a rockstar, so goodnight. xoxoxoxxoxooxxxo

Great view and great bath. What could be better?

And I have the same problem with staying up all night and waking the grumpy one when I finally slink off to bed at some ungodly hour of the night. Problem compounded by the fact alarm blasts me into consciousness at 6am. Too easily distracted, me.

I need your bathroom. That's like something out of a magazine! Lucky you.

Thank you for the shout out- you made me laugh for the first time today as I sat in my cubicle at work.

You do not have man hands by the way- I take the cake in man hands. When I was in the 6th grade A popular girl in class pointed them out. I cried inside.

Anyway- my husband is dying to one day take a trip to your beautiful country. I'll be searching for the lady with the non-man hands sipping tea!

by the way: yeahy on the dates for transfer! How exciting?

Man Hands? Surely you jest! They are not! I imagine they are covered up with mittens today anyhow? Brrrr.
Love the pics. I agree that your bathroom is a delight. Just dreamy.
I love Megalong Valley (sp?) My brother got married there.

What a fabulous bathroom!! I am so jealous, you actually live there? My dad loves Australia, I bet if he saw these photos he would adopt you on the spot and move into your garden.

Topcat. Lovely to "see you". You look very much as I imagined.
So excited for you and your little piece of paper. I can see great things coming from it all for you.
