Giving Myself a Shot

So! On the 10th, I posted about waiting for my next cycle to start so we can begin with the fertility stuffs. Well, I started my period on Monday and called the doctor. They had me come in for an ultrasound to check my ovaries and went over the plan with me.

The first part of the plan involves taking Clomid pills! Easy.

The second part of the plan involves giving myself a shot, daily. Until, like, I have a baby. That's a lot of shots. I'm not sure if I mentioned it here before, but the shot is a blood-thinner, which I need because my dad gave me a blood clotting disorder. Thanks, Dad! Anyway, shots. My 30 day supply of syringes came yesterday and I decided to record myself giving myself my first shot.

Unfortunately, this video is more than seven minutes long. Unfortunately, it's also terribly out of focus because I couldn't get my camera to focus and gave up. Fortunately, you can still tell what's going on and fortunately, you can still hear my reactions.

If you're on a time crunch, fast forward to 4:30 for a good time, or to 6:00 to just see the shot.

Why I Don't Vlog: The Vlog

Most that know me in person should be very much aware of my overuse of tangents in story-telling. Here on the blog, I can kind of keep those in check; I notice when I'm expanding on some not-so-important-to-the-story details causing me to pause and back it up a bit. However, in real life, I'm not very good at that. 


I decided last night to record my first, and very possibly my only vlog in which you'll see why I probably shouldn't vlog. (Vlog is so silly of a word, it needs emphasis with italics. You should also read it with a little head bobble.) In six minutes I cover nearly 1,000 topics (that's way too many topics) from unsharpened pencils to broken pens, my dirty laundry, messy desk, what's on my computer screens, where I think Jamie is and finally the show I'm in. Here goes nothin' with some terrible lighting conditions and my iPhone. 


 

My 20/20 hindsight tells me that I probably should have had a topic in mind before I began recording, but hey, I like living life on the edge. (That's an exaggeration, fo'sho.) Maybe if I had something to teach you, I could make a really cool tutorial, but I'm not sure what that could be. Come to think of it, I already did that. I taught a handful of people how to fold a fitted sheet once, so I'm all out of things to teach. I've done my part, world!

If y'all are into watching vlogs, maybe I'll do another one day sooner or later. (Vagueness, anyone?) For now, it may just be best to just stick to writing. And animated gifs. I love those.
