And so the insanity will begin....

Hi all,
Sorry for the long break between posts - life has decided to upchuck on me to a major extent - and I'm just kind of finding my footing again. Well at least for a little while....

You know in those shows or cartoons where they have the little devil sitting on one shoulder and the little angel sitting on the other of the character in question..... well, let's picture me in that scenario..... except the little angel has decided to take a permanent vacation and so the little evil devil has made me do it - I'm going to train like a fool for the next 9 weeks to go from not being in shape at all to being in shape enough to run an 8k race coming up in September. Yeah - me - running 4.96 miles (for those of you who aren't into translating kilometers into miles). Should be quite the sight to see.

Otherwise, it's another insane day at work - all these women and the hormones flying around - you're likely to get pregnant here just drinking the water, literally. Or at least that's what all the patients hope for as they walk in the door and we certainly try to deliver. I have to say, I was a bit leary at first in being transfered to the Reproductive Medicine Center from my previous job, but the staff here are really a good group of people - very informative, yet everyone has a sense of humor to keep things light even in the most touchy of situations. Even though I've been here a year, I'm still finding my place in the group, but everyone has welcomed me wholeheartedly.

I'll update everyone on the rest of life's tribulations throughout future posts - it's a bit much to get into right now with only a few minutes remaining of the day and access to the internet to post just this quick update.

This weekend - thankfully it will be spent with my wonderful stepkids and my mother-in-law and me also getting ready to start my training schedule (put together by my great friend - Jim) by walking as much as I can and breaking in the new running shoes - really nice Nikes!

Hope everyone else has lots of great plans for the weekend - have a safe and happy one!
