2017 Recap

3 IVF cycles

1 FET

1 D&C

Hundreds of tears

Thousands of dollars

Nearly a year ago I said hello to 2017. I'm happy to report that expectations were met or exceeded, considering I set them so low.

As for my resolutions:

• Set up an appointment with a therapist. Yes, this happened. My therapist wasn't so helpful but my husband's therapist was excellent and made a big difference for us. I only went to mine twice. I didn't dislike her but there was nothing for her to tell me. Working out my thoughts and feelings on the blog felt more cathartic and it was a lot cheaper. 
• Lose weight. I lost some; gained some. Net minus 5 after all is said and done, so... success. It's a work in progress.
• Dress for the job I want. Totally forgot about this one. I'm ok with that.
• Get a new living room set. For fun! Nope. I wanted to but I couldn't get a new set without redoing the floors and then if we're doing those we'd have to do the window treatments..... it ended up being way above budget. So it didn't happen.
• Figure out car situation We got a second car and it makes a world of difference.

I'm still working on a list for 2018. I like having goals to work on and get to look at a year later to reassess. January brings my blog anniversary to two years. I had no idea I'd still be in this two years later. I certainly didn't think I'd be writing about a seventh IVF cycle back in 2016. I'm not sure what 2018 has in store but I do know I'm ready to put 2017 to bed.

Wherever you are, I hope you have a nice celebration staying warm and safe.
