Monday dear old AF showed. No need for more tests. Wednesday I went for my baseline ultrasound and the tech said everything was fine so I started taking Clomid again. Monday I will start three days of shots. Then another ultrasound on Thursday, another shot, and then another IUI. Doesn’t it sound like fun?

***********************************************************

I have two older brothers. We are all 3 1/2 years apart. I am the baby and the only girl. For whatever reason, GI Joe and I never got along. I mean, never. And neither of us can tell you why. He is best friends with Neely. That’s how we met, through my brother. They are very much alike. It’s almost scary. Once when GI Joe visited us he sat in my house and called me stupid. Neely said nothing about it and later said he never heard him call me that.

The first time GI Joe came to visit from Seattle he was still a pain. Gran and I actually got in a fight about the way he treated everyone. I have never understood why my parents would allow him to treat all of us so rudely.

When I went into the hospital with Garrett he called. I almost fell out of the bed. When he got news he would call and talk to me. Not much, just a short conversation. When Garrett passed away it was decided that the trip was too expensive and he didn’t have enough vacation time to come. To this day he regrets not coming. The day of the funeral we talked for a while and it was nice.

About 9 months later he moved closer to home with his fiancee and her children. They asked me to plan their wedding and I did. When they came up to visit with his daughter they all stayed at our house. Never once did he and I get into it. Never once in the planning of the wedding did we have a disagreement. I’m not sure what happened to him in Seattle, but he became a very likable person.

Tonight we are flying out to visit them in San Antonio. We are going to spend four days with them. I’m extremely excited. Five years ago I never would have gone to visit GI Joe. He just was nice enough for me to hang out with. We are also thinking about moving to San Antonio for Neely’s job. Being that close to my brother excites me and scare me at the same time.

But for now I will just look forward to my trip and my time of relaxation. I’ll see you all on the flip side.
