judecorp: (true love)
Happy birthday, [livejournal.com profile] michael622!

My 4pm home visit got cancelled, so I was able to go home earlier and straighten out the crazy bill I got from Boston IVF. Now I know we only owe them for the yearly sperm storage fee. Much easier to stomach than the scary big bill for EVERYTHING we've had done there.

I also called to cancel my last acupuncture appointment. I feel more relaxed already. Also, no one answered the phone and it went to voicemail, so I was able to /totally/ avoid conversation. I decided to cancel after Jen called me and left me a message saying that she strongly urged me not to go since it would likely not end up in a positive result. I took her words to heart, and realized that I'd also been sort of dreading going anyway. I hate to waste the money (we pre-paid and you have to pay if you cancel in less than 24 hours) because I /hate/ wasting money in general, but I feel like this is for a greater good.

So instead of going somewhere that I feel anxious and potentially having a confrontation with someone I don't mesh well with, I will enjoy a leisurely evening at home and cook a delicious dinner for my lovely wife that we can share together when she gets home from work. And then maybe we'll settle in and watch a few more episodes of the final season of Queer as Folk, since we can't seem to get new discs fast enough!

Jen and I have had our ups and downs over the years, and we've certainly had no shortage of crappy things happen to us, but I still think we make a pretty good team. She really stepped up with the love and comfort when I was very upset about the acupuncture mess, and I'm incredibly grateful for that.

Netflix delivered the first disc of the last season of Queer as Folk today, and we have already devoured it. Three solid hours of television. I think my brain is mush, but I just want to see what happens next! (No spoilers, please.) We should get another disc on Thursday or Friday, whoopee!

We decided to do a trial period of acupuncture - 4 sessions, more than we can afford, but then we can see how we like it and whether we think it's helpful. And also see what they recommend, because if they recommend way more than we could manage we'll have to say no. There have been studies, though, which say that acupuncture can increase effectiveness of infertility treatments by almost half! We'll see what happens.

I also think we decided (though I could be wrong, I always think we've decided and then find out we're still deciding) not to continue looking at apartments. We do want to stick around here long enough to give the TTC thing a good try, but we also want to get on with our lives and head to Western Mass. So we have our doctor appointment on the 26th and will see what he recommends. Then we will try that for a little while and hope for success. Then we can talk about when to house hunt, whether we're successful or we've decided to move on to adoption. It's just so frustrating to look at cheaper apartments and find that they aren't anywhere near as good as what we have... and we really want a house. I grew up in an apartment and don't want to die in an apartment, KWIM?

Another hot one today. Love it.
