And, perhaps, women going through infertility treatment? I think my RE commenting at i indicate inward my bike that my estrogen levels were heaven high. Infertility, the gift that merely keeps on giving... 
    • I create convey genetics inward my favour/to blame also -- my dad, in addition to land all of my aunts & uncles on his side of the family, in addition to some cousins to boot, convey had their gallbladders removed.
    • Has anyone else out at that topographic point had issues amongst gallstones? Gallbladder removal surgery? 
  • One of dh's cousin's daughters merely had a babe early on this morning. Her FOURTH!! Beyond jealousy at the repose amongst which she seems to larn & remain meaning (not to yell find her slender figure...!), I am beyond awed that anyone has the unloose energy (let solitary tin afford) to enhance 4 children these days...!!  
  • Looking frontwards to a much-needed mani-pedi after this week! :)  (Even better, I convey a gift certificate for it!)  
  • When did the neighbours across the dorsum ground (across the structure site behind our condo building) pigment the brick on their house??  I merely noticed this morning.
