Well, tomorrow's the IUI. I’ve got lots of thoughts bouncing around in my head that I’ve been trying to articulate, but mostly it comes to this: I so badly want this to work. I wish it didn’t feel so self-serving to say that, but it's all I've got.
I don't want to have to think about what happens if it doesn't work, and I don't want to worry about the money, and the time, and whether there's a reason this is happening to me. I don't want to feel this out of control of my own life anymore. I don't want to try to accept that this just wan't meant to be. I don't want to look on the bright side of things. I don't want to count my blessings.
I just want this. Am I really asking too much?
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.--Langston Hughes
Good God, am I ready for one of my friends inside the computer to hit it lucky. I hope this is it, Lisa.

Life for me ain't been no crystal stair...
Man! I love Langston Hughes! Love him! Love him so much. That quote alone should guarantee your IUI success AND your place in fertile heaven- were there any justice in the world. And there most likely is.
Very, very best wishes on a successful day tomorrow.

Lisa, you are NOT asking too much. I'll be thinking about you tomorrow.

Lisa, I'm thinking of you today... I have good feelings about it, for whatever that's worth.
