Update on summer to-do list

A few weeks ago, I posted my list of goals this summer. Here's an update.
Summer Home Vacation To-Do's
1. Have one yardsale/clean out- Most of the things that didn't sell went to charity so it was good to clean out and give away. But- where I live there's usually yard-sale "regulars" and they were not out that day!
2. Take care of mini- garden This is a first... my mini-garden did TOO good! I planted them a little close and everything grew together! But I had peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers all summer:] I'll try to post a pic.
3. Teach C a new trick I really did try. I made him sit/stay, then walked over a few feet & held up a broomstick for him to jump over... (which he does over logs and tree stumps) but he preferred to run around the broom & wait on his treat. Work in progress...
4. Go to a drive-in movie w/ PC Can check this off the list too... went for a double feature & we didn't like the first one so PC had a good nap, but the second was really good. We're wondering how C would do at the drive in... other people bring their dogs... but they're usually behaving! That might be the next adventure!
5. Go for several country Jeep drives Uh, well- these ended up being more like 4-5 miles around the house drives to save some gas, but nevertheless we had fun!
6. Keep organizing stuff Does one closet count?
7. Make a cookbook from recipes from PC's granny (passed away last year) Made a little progress, but set another goal to have it done by Thanksgiving... yes, I'm going to stick to that deadline!
8. Sleep late Had no problems with this one... except for getting back to normal.
9. Finish 2 grad. classes One week left to finish class #2- whoo-hoo!!! It might be time to start writing the final paper!?
10. Earn x-tra $$$ Sigh. Not really... but I did spend time thinking about how I could spend it!

Right now my goal is just to get rid of AF... STILL here. Oh, the joys of anovulation. My birthday is coming up next month... I would love to have just one normal cycle... too much to ask for???

TTC Naturally

In this time between treatments, of course there is always the hope for one normal cycle & the chance to conceive without IF treatments. I've had 2 friends lately, one deals with IF due to severe endo, to email about something they have heard. I'm always open to trying things... what can it hurt? So, the first piece of advice was to purchase pH sticks from any pharmacy and use them (POAS) to test your body for acidity/alkalinity &, depending on results, change your diet to reach a state of alkaline. The second was to have a test for celiac disease for an intolerance to wheat, again depends on results, that requires a gluten free/casein free diet. I'm still finding out more about this. So, here are my goals for this time of TTC naturally...
1- get more exercise
2- try to eat healthier & check into above tests
3- continue acupuncture
4- take vitamins
5- ovulation monitoring
and...put some fun back into it!
