Judecorp.

1. We've chosen a new sperm bank (Xytex) and our top three donors. I need to call them tomorrow morning and see if it's possible to get all of the paperwork done (by the doctor) and sperm ordered and delivered before my next IUI. Which could be soon. So it's very possible that we missed the boat on switching this month, and I /really/ hope that's not the case. I just couldn't nail Jen down to go over stuff.

2. The new sperm bank guarantees 30 million motile sperm per ml. That is SO much better than the 6mil/60% we've been getting from our current dude.

3. I got my new tshirt that I ordered for Pride on Saturday. It's this one, with red. It's fun! I love modeling Stacy's tshirts!

4. I got home from the grandparents' and went on a whirlwind housecleaning spree. With Jen being sick, there was just... stuff... all over the house. Now it's all gone, the last of the laundry is in the dryer, the dishwasher has been run, and we're ready to start another work week. Jen is home sick tomorrow and Tuesday so hopefully it won't get trashed again.

5. Tomorrow - long day. 8:30am ultrasound and blood work. 9-12 training. 1-3 assessment. 3-5 assessment. 6:30 book club meeting.

6. Book Club read The Curious Incident of the Dog In the Night Time. Has anyone read it? What did you think?

Well, I now have one of the cleanest houses ever. I was a machine today, managing all of the following: hanging the holiday cards, sweeping and mopping the kitchen and bathroom floors, sweeping the other floors, cleaning the kitchen counters, doing the dishes, putting the dishes away, doing the laundry, changing the sheets in the guest room, running to the store for more cat litter, cleaning the cat boxes, moving the stuff we brought back from RI, cleaning out the fridge, and probably some other things I've forgotten. I've run out of steam so I probably won't get to the bathroom sink/mirror but oh well, I'm over it.

After dinner and presents, we still have to pack for the trip but it will be fun to put things like bathing suits and tshirts in a suitcase instead of sweaters and winter hats! And maybe some new holiday stuff.

I hope my Jennifer likes all of the things that Santa Claws brought for her! I am such a sucker when it comes to giving gifts - I just like it so much.

I hope everyone on my FL had a merry solstice, has a happy festivus, a merry christmas, a happy hanukkah, a happy new year, and that eid and kwanzaa and every other holiday also brought lots of joy to your heart.

Our house is getting so clean, Clean, CLEAN! And I love it, Love It, LOVE IT!

Jennifer is currently dry-mopping/vacuuming the 929437902791 tons of cat hair around this place, and she did the futon, too! And I cleaned the bathroom and the laundry is going and the dishes are (mostly) done and the table is brand-new-clean. The windows are all open and the weather is gorgeous, and soon the furniture will be dusted and the kitchen/bathroom floors washed. It is going to be beautiful in here!

Really, there are few things I like more than a freshly cleaned house. I'm sure this makes me some kind of OCD wacko, but I totally don't care!
