Desperado


Something happened today, which left me thinking of this particular Thoughtful Thursday...it was the question in non-suspended motion.

I made the mistake of revealing about my IF struggles to some of my colleagues when I was a new joinee here....I shelled up only after I realized that I had shared it with people who had no inclination/caring to know about it, barring the occasional fodder for a chat.

I have a colleague that I am not really fond of. She seems to have a knack of identifying the weak points of others and then uses that to gain intimacy. And I hate people who try to get too cozy with me, before I decide that I want to be cozy with them.

Anyways, she has some idea about the fact that I am babyless and trying....Several times she just comes around to discuss stuff, especially in the morning, when nobody is there and she has been 'comparing' my case to that of her close friend S.

I have never asked about the history of that girl, but my colleague dishes out her story anyways...and joy of joys, she has finally conceived...so I came to know that too, today morning.

So my this colleague, still working with that information that she had since my pre-shelling...is not aware of my move towards higher-order ART. And she comes hopping to ask -

Would I still consider trying that miracle-worker doctor referral of hers?



Nopes. Thank You.

[This will be my look next time she comes around. Everybody must have a Milton Waddams in them.]

    Why can't people just be curious, but not be rude or nosy about it?! If we want someone to know something, we'll let them in on it, if not, then MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS! Great picture! That movie is TOO funny!

    That expression is priceless.

    Ugh. Nosy office neighbors, busy bodies, people who puff up other people's drama. I can do without them.

    Remember your ALI sisterhood supporting you.

    Thanks so much for sporting my button!

    Hugs to you, WiseGuy.

    ERRRR!! I can't stand it when people butt into your business like that!!

    I did that too, when I was about to embark on IVF. I told people who I shouldn't have. Sucks.

I Should Have Known

...On the night of 19th when my breasts became hard and sore to touch, the nurses brought me hot water bottles rather than my baby. I should have known. ...Birdman was apparently away to Very Big City with our baby. Every SMS update sent to me about her after 16th Jan was fake. I was a donkey eating at his trough.

Season...

With very limited time and access to the netz, I just want to declare that Lady Season is here. She arrived last Wednesday, and I will someday in future speak of how due to SuperPed's preparedness a crisis was averted. I tend to have firework endings. Her with me, and my first chance of mothering is like a spray of cold water on my face. I am very sleep deprived. Apparently, wise birds said to me that I should sleep when the girl sleeps, but so far my body schedule and kid's schedule are haywire. I hope to be better adapted to this soon. It is tough for me to find net time as of now, and there are a couple of things I want to post online, since CBub's dates also passed by recently, but so far it does not seem to be happening. And I just want to say thanks. Even though I am craptastic at responding, I am reading off and on as I can manage.
