I am feeling a little sad today. Just a few things that have happened that make me not my normal self. First, one of my friends (one of the three jen-amigos-- Craig and his two buddies all married Jens) just had a miscarriage. It was early, the doctors called it a 'chemical pregnancy', but I know, they all hurt the same. I talked with her at length today, hoping to just listen and offer my support since they just started to TTC and this happened.
Craig and I also started TTC too. And that is another reason I am sad. Not this month, I am afraid. Good old AF showed up two days early to remind me that we will have to try again. Don't get me, wrong--I LOVE trying! But I was still sad that it wouldn't be this month. All of us Jens had joked about the fact that we are all TTC'ing right now and wouldn't it be cool if we all got knocked up at the same time too. Well, I guess that could still happen.
My boss Judy's dad passed away on Tuesday. He was in a home and had been pretty sick, but was doing better and they thought he was out of the weeds when he just went to sleep. The funeral is tomorrow, so I am debating on whether to attend or just send my condolences to her home and see her when she is back to work on Monday. I am lucky that Judy is such a great lady to have for a boss. I really feel for her going through this tough time right now.
One good thing is that I started my next MBA class (Economics of Management) and while it is definitely a lot harder than the last class, I think I will do OK. At first I felt a little overwhelmed, but I read the text which really gave me the information I needed and now I am a bit more comfortable in the topic.
I started knitting a baby blanket for my friend Kim who is having a boy in November. I figure, if it turns out nice, then I can make baby blankets for other mommies. If it is crap, well, then Chloe has a new play toy blanket!

sorry you're having a blah day, dear. It's understandable, though. Perhaps a perspective on the pg thing is that now, you can keep trying and not be in an awkward position with your friend.
Iwould go to the funeral if you can manage it. Even if you don't get a chance to even say hello to your boss, the fact that you are there will mean so much...
thinking of your friend, your boss - and you! I remember when we were TTC and my disappointment when AF showed up... what a bummer :( but the trying was fun - and we ended up successful :)
good luck with the new class!
I can knit scarves, but tried doing a blanket last year - and totally sucked at it - Nan is going to teach me to crochet (I've already got the hook!) once I've decided on what color of yarn I want to use so I can make our Lil Copper a baby blanket of his/her very own :) Now back to looking at colors... to match the nursery or no... I'm so indecisive!!
