Calendar Girl

It's all about the scheduling, round here.

April 7th: physical w/ GYN (Yay! Less than a 2-month wait; unlike my primary care doc).

April 13th: consult w/ RE specifically on dIUIs

April 17th: psych consult w/ one of Giant Fertility Clinic's social workers

In related news... I can see my jawline re-emerging from my cheek. Weight loss city, baby! I brought in breakfast from home this morning: tea with milk and sugar, fage (Greek yogurt) with fresh strawberries and chopped walnuts. My morning snack was a Luna bar. I could've done better at lunch -- had a tuna melt sub. Getting back on track though -- my afternoon snack will be a banana and a Luna bar. Woo!
