Period Watch 2009-Update 1

Based on my progesterone level, baby doc wants me to just wait it out.  He seems to think AF will arrive sometime in the next 3-10 days.  I'm cool with this.  While I'm ready to get this party started, maybe the delay is my body's way of telling me it's not quite ready. Also, I was thinking now is a more convenient time to get started since my work schedule is changing in January and I won't have the flexibility I have currently. However, I made my peace with this.  There is nothing more important to me/us than this ride we're about to take, so if I need to take time off work and it's inconvenient for others, oh well.  The timing is something I simply cannot control and I need to and have let it go. Besides, I work alot of overtime that keeps others from having to work when they don't want to, so if they can't return the favor, they can suck it. Work really interferes with one's life, doesn't it? Anyhoo, I found this peace after a mere day of contemplation so this yoga and acupuncture business really seems to be working for me!

On another matter completely unrelated to my girly parts, I got a new toothbrush. Now, I know this may not really be blog-worthy, but I just had to share.  I'd been thinking about getting a proper toothbrush for a while.  Had been using the Crest Spin-Pro and was sick of buying batteries for it.  Batteries that seem to go dead in like 10 seconds.  And their disposal is bad for the environment. So, the other day while Googling, I see the feed above has a link to a $15 rebate for an Oral B rechargeable toothbrush. I bookmarked the page and grinned knowing my teefs would soon be cared for by a luxury implement.  While at Costco (what a magical place, 2nd only to Beltramo's) on Sunday I saw the model 4750 with an INSTANT $20 manufacturer's rebate. A $20 rebate on top of the $15 rebate?? "Oh, SNAP!", I said to myself, "It's about to be ON up in my mouth!" I grabbed that puppy and practically skipped out, I was so excited.
When I got home, Steve could not believe a toothbrush inhabited the giant box I carried in. Seems my environmentally conscious choice was offset by the huge, tree killing box I brought home. But wait!  There were TWO in there!  One for each of us!  For some puzzling reason, he was not as I excited as I.  I ripped open the box and discovered it would be 10 hours to fully charge, so it was not going to be on up in my mouth just yet. After 6 hours, I just couldn't stand it.  I brushed. Man, that thing was so powerful, it felt like it was powered by a jet engine. After just one use, my teeth felt positively polished.  Like my teeth had been replaced by pearls.  I kept running my tongue over them in amazement. Still do. So, that's my little happy story. Really, we must delight in the simple things, right?
