Back in college, in 2004 when blogging was hardly even a thing yet, I was here. Blogging before blogging meant anything to anyone. You can look in the archives for my past writings, but it was much more like a journal in the past. When we started fundraising, I messed around with the idea of launching something new for this new phase of our journey but actually hated that idea. I am a sum of all of my life and so much of it is here already. So I'm keeping it here. At least for now.

My main focus these days is blogging about our newest journey into the bizarre and wonderful world of gestational surrogacy. Posts dated 2013 and forward will trend heavily toward that journey. I don't promise everything I write will be about though. There might be other things that sneak in occasionally.

Please come along our journey with us. As the saying goes, "The more, the merrier!"

Sleep Deprived

When he wrote the test on Monday I thought he meant to test to see if I wasn't getting enough sleep. Now I know he's testing to see what happens to my brain when I don't get enough sleep. "Try to limit your sleep to 5 hours or less. . . " She told me when I called to schedule the "EEG, sleep deprived."

It's nearly 3:30am and though my goal was to stay awake until 4am so that I could rise at 9am (because I have to have no more than five hours of sleep between now and 2 pm tomorrow) I'm struggling to make it. I've done 3 loads of laundry (though they have yet to be folded) and cleaned my bathroom, save the mirrors. I've washed the tile floors in the apartment - the ones in both bathrooms and the kitchen and what I could reach of the entry way/dining area. And the lull of the dryer, currently drying that previously mentioned 3rd load of laundry, is making me think that adjusting my getting up time by a half an hour is worth going to bed now.

This would be sleep depraved EEG thing better turn up with some solid results. Otherwise I'm going to be quite bitter that I missed a good night's sleep.
