Everyday Adventure

Adventures in food and (in)fertility

Day 5 August 1, 2008

Day 5 of the Lupron shots for IVF#3 today.  My horoscope for the month says that I may be announcing pregnancy news soon, so here’s hoping.

I have had a productive day today, despite my lack of productivity last week and part of this week.  Monday and Wednesday I went to town, but yesterday, as you know, I wasn’t feeling it.  Today I got a late start cooking (on purpose, because it was a fairly light cooking day) and was still done and cleaned up by 11 am.  After that I was able to construct and schedule my next newsletter, update my accounting (a major time-suck and something that I have a mental block against), deal with e-mail, pick up my library book, water my plants, deliver the food, and now I am about to go for a run.  Have I mentioned that I love my job and being my own boss?

Tonight we are going out to dinner and then to see Cirque du Soleil – which I LOVE.  Mike is amazing and has gotten us first row seats each of the 3 times we have been (this is the 3rd).  I am getting very spoiled.  Tomorrow we are going to a soccer game – I have never been to a professional soccer game in the US – and Sunday we are doing dinner with Mike’s parents because they have some gift certificates to use.  We’ll also bike up to the Evanston Farmer’s Market tomorrow and bike to yoga Sunday morning. 

I have some good food planned for this week too – I am going to try to invent a Lemon Olive Oil Cookie (with my fancy lemon olive oil from a great oil store here in Chicago) as well as trying out other people’s recipes for Napa Cabbage Salad with Buttermilk Dressing, Eggplant Sticks and Zucchini Pancakes. 

Okay – better go get on the treadmill if I am going to stay on schedule here.  Have a good weekend everyone.
