Researching fertility monitors is kind of surreal

Days off aren't as fun when my Jennifer doesn't have the day off (which, truth be told, is most days off actually), although we got to spend part of the morning together since she is closing the store today. She headed down to the T but the station was closed (due to a gas leak at the station, I read), so she had to come back and I drove her up to one of the other stations.

This morning I researched different fertility monitors and prices and all of that. Exciting stuff! We've been having a bunch of talks about donors and the process and what we want to do. Ideally I'd love to have fresh sperm from a local donor (it has a longer 'lifespan' than frozen) but we don't really have a lot of donor options that way. Almost everyone we know is married and we wouldn't want to ask someone's spouse to be okay with that. But we were trying to think of local, single, male friends and are pretty sure none of those options would really want to go through all of that for us. So I suppose we'll have to start researching frozen options and talk to the fertility peeps and see what they recommend and all of that.

For the last year or so I've had a certain donor in mind, and though I've never asked him I've thought about it from time to time. But situations have changed and it wouldn't be feasible to use him (even if he would have been willing). Aah well. Tres complicated.

I wish we had more local, healthy male friends who wanted to offer up the goods!

p.s. Thanks for the dream, Dr. King.
