Whoa… I don’t think I’ve ever had such a busy day in my life. But it’s over and we’re so happy. 🙂
The morning started off early with a monitoring appointment at Dr. B’s. I’m happy to report a 21mm follicle! It’s exactly where they wanted it. I’ve been feeling twinges near my ovaries for the past day or so, so I’m glad that it wasn’t all in my head. They called with my blood work this afternoon and my estrogen was a whopping 274!!! Thank you, Gonal-F! They told me to go ahead and trigger with an Ovidrel shot and start progesterone supplements on Sunday. Great news!
While we were anxiously awaiting closing, we stopped into Home Depot and bought our paint… and a new toilet seat (the old one was gross…).
And then we went to closing and signed a TON of papers. But after that… It was done… And the house we’ve waited 4 long months for is finally OURS!!
And now comes the cleaning… Oi… We only spent an hour or so there this afternoon, but it ended in me threatening to burn the house down and begging Jeremy to replace the toilet so I don’t have to scrape the hard water deposits out of it… 😉 I think it was the Ovidrel talking.
But seriously, there are, what I’m assuming, brown hard water deposits at the top of the toilet bowl. I bleached them, I soaked them with scrubbing bubbles, I used CLR, and I scrubbed like crazy… Tomorrow I’ll try vinegar and lime-away… After that, who knows… The shower doesn’t look much better. 😦 If you have any ideas, I’ll gladly take them.
On a positive note, I replaced the toilet seat all on my own. I’m a beast. 😉
After all of that, I still had to attend my very first grad school class. It was underwhelming, but there may have been just a little too much excitement today for me to get pumped about going to school.
I submitted our greyhound application today late last night too. They called tonight and scheduled our visit to their kennel to pick out our new dog. We’re heading out there in a week and a half. 🙂
So many changes going on, but I’m loving every minute. Even the gross toilet. Why? Because it’s my gross toilet. 😉
