March Photo Challenge: Day 8

Heal:

I started acupuncture about a year ago to attempt to regulate my cycle, and that it did. I have continued to go on a regular basis and Hubby has also started participating. For me, it heals my body (maybe...no results yet but it feels good!) and it heals my soul. It is 60 minutes of pure relaxation and my acupuncturist specializes in fertility and is just plain nice to talk to! Love it.

Purple:

My fur baby has a baby. It's a cat with a big purple bow that meows when she bites it. She LOVES it. She has had it since she was a little puppy and for the most part treats it gingerly. It's meow is slowly dying and now sounds more like a whimper and it is missing one eye, but kitty is otherwise here for the long haul.

Challenge:

This book is my challenge. I'm attempting to make bread from scratch...like really from scratch. No packaged yeast business, just pure flour and water starting these loaves. Boy has it been a challenge. I've begun calling my starter "The Bitch" because she controls my life. I will conquer her!

March Photo Challenge: Day 5

Commute:

Fortunately for me, my regular morning commute consists of walking about eight blocks. If it's raining there's a shuttle. Tough life, right? It is all up hill!

Unfortunately for me, I have become a regular "commuter" to the Fertility Clinic and the commute is not quite as easy.
On this lovely day, I made the commute to the clinic for my beginning of the cycle ultrasound and lab draws. Everything is well in ovary land, so I left with a bag full of drugs and I will restart my Menopur tonight. Here we go again!

Day 4: Illuminate

This was how I started my New Year.
I took it as a sign that it was going to be a good year. Here's hoping!

March Photo Challenge: Day 3

Day 3: Domestic

My Husband once said to me, "Do you know one of the things that I love about you? It's not something that I would have looked for in a wife, but it makes me really happy that you're so homey. I love that you love baking and you're really good at decorating, and you throw an amazing party."

It was one of the best and most unexpected compliments I've ever gotten because it was completely out of the blue and just popped out of his mouth one night when I was baking. Like he had been pondering it while watching me. Love him.

I've been quite domestic lately. Winter does that to me. I'm trying my hand at baking bread this week, lovingly starting my "starter" for the last two weeks. We've also been making ice cream on a far too frequent basis since we got an ice cream maker attachment for my Kitchenaid mixer for Christmas! 

I snapped this photo when we were making Meyer Lemon Olive Oil Ice Cream. Yum.

March Photo Challenge: Day 2

Today may be challenge day two, but it's also cycle day one.  Let's not talk about that. Let's talk about...

Feet.

Ice skating on frozen ponds is awesome. Cracks and all.
