I was curled up on the couch today – in pain.  Yet, I was happy.  Want to know why?  No, you really don’t…but I’m going to tell you anyways.  Because my friends, my last cycle just ended.  A 23 day cycle.  You see, for what seems like FOREVER, I have been having 45-55 day cycles (that’s longer than a month!).  But today?  Today is the beginning of a new cycle.  And, I’m excited.  Why?  Because, dang it…my body hasn’t been “normal” for a long time.  It hasn’t been doing the one thing a woman’s body should on its own – ovulating.  For some reason, my body was rebelling, and I had no clue why.  We went through 15 months of agonizing infertility…and had hoped that after L, my body would snap back the way it was supposed to be.  It didn’t.  I inquired to my doctors and they literally got out their notepads to prescribe me medicine.  They didn’t know WHY my body wasn’t working, but they could give me a quick fix (fertility medicine that would get me pregnant).  But, the whole idea (of mine) was to FIX my body and to make me “whole” again.  So, I took it in my own hands and found a supplement, if you will.  And, it’s working.  Heck yeh.

Oh, that and I am really going to try to stop being such a lazy ass.  Seriously.  Okay…maybe.  I HAVE to start doing cardio.  I HAVE to start doing some light weight training.  I HAVE to gain some weight.  Muscle weight, not jiggle my thighs milkshake weight, thank you very much.  I want to be healthy.  I want my body to be able to handle sickness and anything else in the best way possible…and this is what I need.

In the spirit of that, we’ve been geocaching a lot lately.  Like, last night.  And, again…tonight.  Guess what else comes along with geocaching?  EIGHT ticks on me alone…tongight.  That does not count the several I flicked off of me IN the woods.  Thirteen on hubs.  Zero on baby.  Yes, we counted.  Ticks suck.  Literally.

Oh, by the way…you know what would be REALLY cool for cardio?  Dance Dance Revolution…or Wii Fit.  Ahem.  *cough cough*
