Heavy Lifting

IF treatments have been altering my scheduling in my garden. Just to be safe, I have put aside any work requiring heavy lifting for the weeks before the IUI. Today I spent the day taking care of the lawn - lime and manure, mowing and raking. After weeks of not allowing myself to do anything the work has tired me out. You would think that I would use the treatments as an excuse to make my DH do all the work, but for the life of me I can't sit still enough to watch him do it all alone. Plus he is only motivated for such a short amount of time, that I would go grey waiting for it to all get done. So instead of him chipping away at it nibble by nibble, I end up plowing through it and wearing myself out on a 3-day holiday weekend. It was such a beautiful day out, that it was worth it spending the day outside and I did crash on the couch for a nap around 3.

I've been taking the injections and am waiting to go back for blood work and a wanding on Tuesday. The injections seem to bloat me within hours, so I am back to feeling like a stuffed pig. I had trouble picking up the broken sticks on the lawn before I mowed. It's either the shots or the huge container I finished of ice cream over the course of the day -- one or the other.
