Showering in Sunshine and Idiocy

Okay, the nice news first!

The great news is that my thyroid friend's pregnancy is on course! The baby is fine. She would be due in early December.

***

While that thyroid friend finishes adding to her family (they won't be planning any more kids after this), I feel like I am still staring from the start line.

She got married after me. She had her first before me. She will have her second before me.

***

Our conversations will centre around among other things, her pregnancy updates and all. She has never actively asked about what I have been upto, on the kids front.

I feel like a monkey with a hundred caps. I can throw around a cap only if I see somebody else doing it, or I would just throw all my caps on a whim.

***

Well, for one thing, I did not share the news of my IVF or any of the IUIs with anybody including the thyroid friend.

Because I know that I may never talk about it without crying, or I am still reserved about it. I can talk on issues of interest, just not my super-failure at it.

*drum rolls*


A colleague has recently joined the TTC bandwagon. They had not been preventing, but had not be seeking it before the now cycles.

Well this stupid colleague discovered a pregnancy planner online, and she has been synchronizing the deed with her hubby on the basis of that chart.

So, first I had to sit through a meal where she and another colleague (who introduced her to the concept of the planner, another just-started champ) talked about how they did it when they did it.

It may be a fodder for a good laugh for my colleagues, but for me it is a fountain of internal sneer.

Anyways, she was supposed to test (Ooh...test!!!...the powerful peebalooza test...) on a certain date.

Next....(as in a few days later, meal forgotten by me already)

My name gets called.

I get up from my cubicle, and peer at the face that called out my name. At one end of the hall is an idiot holding a Whisper (yes...the sanitary napkin).

And she shouts out from that end "You must be so happy. Here is my result."

I decide to leave my dwarf fortress and walk down to the idiocy kingdom.

I am like: "Have you lost your mind?"

And she goes: 'Here goes my test...I would have been a mother tomorrow...booo hooo'


I walk back in sheer disbelief. I must have washed down a hundred cycles in the gutter, but at no time have I carried my Whisper like a medal of honour....Jeeeez!

And I think...


'You are so stupid that you must surely be a fertile.'
