Waiting......

It seems at the moment I'm spending an age waiting for stuff. The clinic hasn't gotten back to me, they are waiting for the ethics committee. It appears the ethics committee take their time thinking things over.We waited for ages to get the forms for the bank loan, and now it appears they still haven't received the documentation that is needed to finalise details. The loan is in the event the clinic say yes. Everything else is on hold, including buying a property. It was never top of our list anyways. The B12 has turned me into a monster. Mammy2 is looking for a suppor group for partners of people who are taking B12. Thankfully I trained on Saturday and took most of my mood out on the punchbag. I was late for class as well because the photographer who wanted to take our pic took his time taking different shots. We found the whole thing humorous moreso because the apartment block is being painted and of course the painters in their mini cranes wanted to know why we were sitting on a fountain with cheesy smiles while yer man hid behind a bush to take some more pictures. I could see the headline now:
Lesbians frolic in fountain whilst painter plummets to his death.

Obviously another reason why we shouldn't be allowed marry. We cause people to die by merely being in their presence and being openly affectionate. The article looks like it was dropped anyways. I had the horrible task of actually purchasing the Sun the last 2 mornings and there was no sign of it. What a shocking paper it is
though! So perhaps our story wasn't heart wrenching enough. Who k
nows!

My moods appear to have settled, just in time for my next injection and the madness to continue. Mammy2 did some research and supposedly, it increase your oestrogen levels and we all know that fecker sits in the driving seat of your hormones. Enough said.

The weekend was a comination of work, work and catching up with the college mate who got married last year. We went out for dinner with her and the hubby. They are a lovely coup
le. I still find it bizzare that we have both come so far in the friendship. Before I met Mammy2 and perhaps one of the reasons we got together was I was very upset over a falling out I had with the mate R. I don't remember the exact details of what happened except that she said she didn't want to see me again and that I had changed and wasn't the person she knew. When you consider I had spent the best part of 4 years living with this girl in college, for 2 of those we weren't apart at all as we spent the summer together in Wales, I didn't know what was happening. When you are so close to someone for so long and then suddenly they're not around , its strange. I did what she asked and didn't make any contact. Eventually though, about 6 months of no contact whatsoever, I had enough of wondering what if and should I get back in touch. I missed her too much and the friendship. I would try one last time, ask to meet up and see what happens. It was awkard at first, but we both made the effort and now thankfully we get along fine, better then before. The gay thing was a bit difficult for her, why I don't know. Perhaps because we were so close and she thought this was something I kept from her. Who knows. We could analyse it until the cows come home but we're all good now.

Speaking of mates, C rang yesterday. I nearly fell over. Himself and the gf are back from the wilds of Australia and Bali where they headed for a month. We're to catch up next week before he returns to work. I didn't realise how much I missed chatting and hanging with him. So hopefully we can meet up and I have to tell him all the news about the clinic. Or the lack of news from the clinic. Its hard waiting.

In other news, I have a found a fellow eurovision fan in work! She is as into it as I am, knowing the names of some of the classics such as Bobbysocks and Bucks Fizz as well as remembering Celine Dion's turn for Switzerland. Classic stuff. So now at least she'll be into the eurovision poll and I won't look like the only eejit who gos on about it. Although it is a talent I have to say. The ability to talk to myself about it :)

Its that time of the year when these trees start to bloom. I LOVE them. They are so colourful and for me always represent spring on the way.
