Tales of the Phoenix. August 1, 2008. Don’t know what your patronus is? Take this quiz to find out which patronus you would create. It’s kinda silly, but what the heck? From → grieving.

Grief, the gift that keeps on giving | Tales of the Phoenix
https://talesphoenix.wordpress.com/2010/12/01/grief-the-gift-that-keeps-on-giving
Tales of the Phoenix. Grief, the gift that keeps on giving. December 1, 2010. The Sunday after Thanksgiving, my brother called. We don’t usually talk on the phone, so at first, I thought he called to ask me something. We chatted for awhile, and I stopped wondering why he called. Maybe he just called to chat? Until he said, “we have news”. I knew what it was immediately. I did a pretty good job of not losing it on the phone. But ever since then, I’ve been a mess. From → Uncategorized. Leave one →.

The Elderly Ovary: July 2009
http://elderlyovary.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 31, 2009. The ultrasound technician in my OB's office (my RE is on vacation) actually offered to go on my trip with me, and I said yes. I think she might have been joking, but I was absolutely serious. Of course, she'd have to bring her machine along with her. Don't they of all people know that these things are not guaranteed? If anyone has a sister (cousin, friend-of-a-friend, etc.) who's an ultrasound tech in London, let me know! Monday, July 27, 2009. The problem with high-IQ kids is, wel...

C’est la Vie | Tales of the Phoenix
https://talesphoenix.wordpress.com/2011/01/08/cest-la-vie
Tales of the Phoenix. C’est la Vie. January 8, 2011. I’ve been fascinated of late by Julia Child’s life. I’ve been looking for female childless role models, who had full lives without children. Did Julia struggle with infertility? I needed to know. I picked up her autobiography, My Life in France. Recently. I admire a woman who is as passionate about food and cooking as much. More than I am! I decided against reading the popular Julie&Julia. Cooking TV show, “The French Chef”. All the rea...I feel that J...

I suppose I should say something | Tales of the Phoenix
https://talesphoenix.wordpress.com/2010/11/06/i-suppose-i-should-say-something
Tales of the Phoenix. I suppose I should say something. November 6, 2010. I know I’ve been gone. It isn’t you. It’s me. Let’s look at the year in review:. First, wasn’t hungry and went on a weight loss regime. Lost 6 pounds. Looked good, but didn’t feel happy. Went back to eating chocolate for therapy. I pay for it later at the dentist. Tried not inhaling, thanks to Mar.i.nol. That’s a pretty good story, actually. Have an emotional meltdown the night before the triathlon, feeling like a failure. A year w...

Why I Want to Adopt | Tales of the Phoenix
https://talesphoenix.wordpress.com/2010/06/19/why-i-want-to-adopt
Tales of the Phoenix. Why I Want to Adopt. June 19, 2010. Do not attempt to adjust your computer screen. You are reading this right. I think I’m beginning to get used to this pattern. Just when I think the grief is resolved, it hits me again, when I’m least expecting it. Just when I thought I was over believing in miracle pregnancies, here I am, believing it might just happen for meagain. Denial. As Magic says, it’s his favorite river. Apparently, I’m fond of this river too. Sigh. 1 Genes do not make a f...

Tales of the Phoenix. Race Results…and Drama. June 6, 2010. Cowbells, marshmallows, and bacon. That’s what I remember from my first 10k run last week. First, the race drama. I rested two days before the race. That turned out to be a mistake. I was so wired the night before the race, I didn’t sleep well. I had to get up at 3am and do a workout just to get to sleep! I really liked the male belly dancer though! The marshmallow toss was somewhere around mile 2.2. I dodged them, and tried not to get a...Thoug...

For Good | Tales of the Phoenix
https://talesphoenix.wordpress.com/2011/08/16/for-good
Tales of the Phoenix. August 16, 2011. Mother’s Day this year was excruciating as always. I spent the day hiding in my house, having my own little Dex.ter-a-thon , because what better to make you feel good than watching a show about a psycho-serial killer? Somehow, I feel comforted that someone else’s life is more fucked up than my own, ficticious or not. I confessed to my mother that I hated Mother’s Day, and she told me that she hates Mother’s Day too! As for me, I’m still working on the answer to the ...

Tales of the Phoenix. I Knew This Day Was Coming. July 7, 2010. This made me feel old, dealing with my varicose veins. Until I found out my dad had his stripped at age 27! Will I ever be able to live a normal life again, where my IF past doesn’t haunt me every step of the way? Will I ever go through a day not replaying all the past scenarios in my head over and over and over again about what happened during and after my IVF cycles? From → Uncategorized.
