KCCU: Plenty of bags, flowers and syringes

Hi Uncle Chuck!

I hope your visit to Asheville went well. I’m sure there was a lot to process. It continues to be quiet over here; we started the IVF process last week, more on that below.

I’ve reflected on this series and I don’t mean to bore you with the mundane, so I’m going to move to a bi-weekly cadence. Usually much more interesting things happen within 14 days than just 7!


Another good haul

Continuing Alex’s (and I guess now mine as well) love for old formats, he got 3 bags full of DVDs from a neighbor. We ended up keeping about 1 bag’s worth of DVDs and the rest will go to Goodwill or something. Lots of good finds including that Hitchcock series and Muppet movies among other things. We didn’t feel compelled to keep the Nicholas Cage filmography or the religious ones.


Latest window installation

The bluebonnets and other wildflowers are in full bloom! It makes every drive much more enjoyable. Fields of blue and bright orange with speckles of yellow. The pinks, reds and whites will show up soon.


Shots galore!

We’re in the middle of Round 3 of IVF! This time it’s 4 shots a day over 10-12 days whereas the past two times have been 1-2 shots a day spread out over 3 weeks. We’re intentionally expediting the process so that we don’t have to renew our expensive COBRA coverage. My poor belly looks like it has been bitten by fire ants with all of the red dots.
