Ugh.<br /><br />Before infertility I thought it would be fun to announce a pregnancy on a holiday at a family gathering. Now I'm ashamed that I even thought that....it's so insensitive. I wish that people would take a second to think about the feelings of others too!<br /><br />I actually haven't officially had a GP since 2007. Too long. I expect it to be something like when I hadn't been to the dentist in five years and ended up with five fillings and a root canal/crown.

That woman who feels her DIL is a butch for depriving her of grandchildren is a horrible human being. I bet she uses them for tokens of self-worth and measuring her own success in life because she's just that empty. I'm so sorry you had to sit next to her. But I'm glad you rechanneled that energy into educating another ignorant woman. Why is it those who are so intent on converting people tend to also be the most unfulfilled and limited individuals?<br /><br />Wishing you a peaceful 2016.

Picked your battle - sounds like you gave her a lot to think about.<br />Good to hear your dog is on the mend.<br /><br />20 months is a long time to be in that heightened state of disquiet. Here’s hoping 2016 is your ‘year of calm’.<br /><br />We’ve had a pretty dry summer so far and cooling breezes coming in from the south each evening, but the irritation to my eyes is driving me crazy. Feb is when I usually replenish the allergy eye drops stockpile but I’ve had to move it forward by several weeks.<br />The hubby has mentioned I’ve been a bit flat this week – I blamed it on the allergies (half right) and not the time of year.<br /><br />Great, who needs peer pressure when you can have blog pressure!<br />Now I’m squirming in my seat – this year was the first in five years (yeah I know, way too long) since I’ve been to my GP (for the ‘100 day flu’ as they were calling it). I think I better put “make an appointment” on my new year’s resolution list. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102758362320348657.post-59643703407509380402015-12-31T21:53:05.929-05:002015-12-31T21:53:05.929-05:00I always find it extraordinary to hear that (poten...I always find it extraordinary to hear that (potential) grandparents feel that they are owed grandchildren. <br /><br />No, I doubt your sister realised her poor timing. Before anyone knew we were trying to get pregnant, my SIL announced her pregnancy one Christmas Day. I was stunned how much it ruined my day. I wish people would consider announcements (on any subject) they make, and think about how those receiving the announcements might feel.<br /><br />I can't believe you haven't had a GP for four years! Ah, to be young and healthy again! lol<br /><br />Sympathies with the allergies. I don't suffer too much, but I did just open my window, and promptly start sneezing!<br />Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102758362320348657.post-48761729596046023362015-12-31T10:07:14.753-05:002015-12-31T10:07:14.753-05:00I probably would've said something to that fir...I probably would've said something to that first lady, but I guess it also depends on the day and how much I have already bitten my tongue.
