I’m in a fog. Headache. Cramps. Tummy troubles. Insomnia. Achy. And I haven’t even started progesterone yet!
I really wanted to stay home today. I had actually planned to. I have been torn about it since I woke up at 3. I didn’t sleep. I am not feeling great about work right now. I had a meeting that I was dreading. The house is clean. And I felt that it would reflect poorly on me if I missed. And I started dwelling. And I started worrying. So I came in to open the library. As I reached the steps, I asked for a sign telling me if I should stay or head home. I unlocked the door, came in, set my purse down….and then the phone rang. My lone student, calling in. Sigh. I guess I’m supposed to be here. Not sure why, but I am.
I’m thinking of writing an essay for NPR’s “This I Believe” series. About how it isn’t wrong to want a genetically linked child…about how it isn’t wrong to want to choose adoption first…about how there is no wrong way to make a family…about muppets…about the assvice that is “just relax”…about all of it.
i say write away!!

I’m sorry that you are feeling so badly. I hope that it passes. I say, go for the NPR essay. You are a talented writer and I know you would do a wonderful job.
