Aug 25- Day 81

Dear Uterus,

Barring a random act of God, surrogacy or adoption won't be available to us for at least two years.

Instead of focusing on the things I can't currently do, I'm going to focus on what I can do in those two years.

In no particular order:

• Finish my book(s)
•  One of my longest dreams has been to become published. I've spent the last 4 years with a bad case of pregnancy brain that didn't allow me to concentrate, and now I can.
• Watch my son start pre-k
•  This is still slightly undecided. I'm not sure if I'll just keep him at home until Kinder or not.
• Get my Paralegal degree (I can't believe I'll have a degree in a year!!) 
• Which reminds me... I need to test out of some classes.
• Watch my husband get his Computer Science degree.
• And then move to wherever his first job takes him
• Donate Eggs
• I have to wait at least 1 year past all the transfusions, so 10 months more!
• Lose weight
• I've gained weight back since losing it all. Primarily because I don't go out and exercise due to my current issue and I've been admittedly emotional eating. 

I know I've talked about some of these before, but I really want to focus on this. Living for an unknown future doesn't make any of this any easier.
