O Captain! My Captain!

A week ago, smiles around the world faded when news broke that Robin Williams had passed away. Everyone was shocked as the details of his suicide were released, but as the pieces came together and painted a picture of the final months of his life it kind of began to make sense… or no sense at all depending how you looked at it. It has been really difficult to watch and read what everyone has been saying about him and what a great person he was; it was the type of news you heard and simply didn’t want to believe, but I guess this is a testament to his impact across our lives.

Clinical vs Emotional

A few years ago, in couple’s therapy, we had a discussion about my way of handling our previous rounds of treatment. DH said that I seemed to lack emotional involvement and that I became overly clinical about everything. And, I completely agree.

Is 35 Too Young For A Midlife Crisis?

Age is just a number, and in a couple of weeks my number will be 35. Normally age and numbers don’t really bother me all that much, but when you are TTC with PCOS and know that you require IVF/IVM you start looking at “35” from a statistical point of view… and then it hits you, I am turning 35!

Unfortunately Fortunate

“Never let the things you want
make you forget the things you have.”

Looking back over the last couple of months, we have done extremely well for ourselves. I finally bought a new (used) car and DH decided to get rid of his old Mazda in favor of a new (used) car that he has always wanted as well as a new (used again) motorcycle. We recently got a new sofa and a new bed, and we have finally had some work done around the house that was long overdue as well! And, the best part is that we are not suffering financially from any of this. In fact, most of it was done without financing which is generally how we live our lives; if we don’t have the cash for it, it doesn’t happen unless it is critical. Sure, the extra spending will come to a halt for a while and we won’t be going away for another six months or so in order to recover some savings but is that so bad? Not really considering I have seen the debt some people get themselves into first hand!
