Things just got real

There's definitely a difference between saying "oh I will just have to take a few shots a night to prepare for this" and getting a huge box full of medication and needles in the mail.  Today I got home from a wonderful lunch with some friends, newly engaged (congrats!), and found a box full of a bottle of medication, alcohol wipes, syringes, a sharps container, a whole folder on directions for giving yourself injections, and it was all stored in a fancy ice pack.  I luckily don't have to start these medications until the 19th.  Reading through the side effects was kind of scary.  This medication is used to suppress reproductive hormones.  Fatigue, breast size changes, dizziness, nausea, lack of appetite, etc.  FUN!!! Can't wait...  Here's what I received:

I am just happy I will be dealing with the majority of this before school starts and within the first weeks of the school year.  We had our school remodeled over the last two years and are in the process of moving back in right now.  I feel like it's more work than my own house sometimes!  As a science teacher I have tons of boxes of lab equipment, models, books, etc to unload.  I also hope to be at this site for quite some time so I want to find the perfect way to store it!!  I'm kind of an "out of sight out of mind" kind of girl, so I have to make sure I label everything and make it accessible.  We also will have a new principal and a lot of things will be changing (hopefully for the better) because of that - so all in all between IVF preparations and "back to school" preparations (which I am also doing in between paragraphs here - my ADD is kicking in) it will be a busy end of August/September!
