Well the month of June has been a tough month. The grief has been tough, but I do feel that I am on my way to great emotional health. I have really let it all hang out this month. I have done lots of smoking and drinking, and had loads of late nights. In a way it was what I needed to do. I always hit the wine after a failed IVF. It’s really not the best way to deal with it. But hey! What exactly is the best way? I say – do whatever keeps you sane.
Thinking about going into July has got me pondering some changes I need to make. The over indulgence has to stop. So from today I start my alcohol free week days and NO MORE SMOKING! I’m not going to put myself on a diet, but I am going to make sure I am having less junk and more fruits, veg etc. I also have a few other things that I am going to throw into the mix.
Rieke
My FIL’s girlfriend is a Reiki master and she has agreed to do a few sessions with me. Which I am looking forward to. I really want to get my emotions sorted out before the FET and I think this would help.
My new thing
I love entertaining! Yesterday I had my mom, FIL and his girlfriend around for Sunday lunch. I made Mousaka and we sat around and chatted sipping on good wine. It was fabulous. I really enjoyed making and serving the mousaka, and I really want to experiment with some new recipes. So I have decided to try out one new recipe per month and test it on my friends. So my new thing is to have a dinner party once per month and invite a different couple every month.
Movie Night
I reckon one Movie night per week would be awesome, even every second week. So hubby and I are going to try this out. We’ll pick a night when there is nothing good on TV and go and watch the early movie. I find it so relaxing and I think that it would be good for our relationship too.
So goodbye June and hello July! One month closer to FET.

Sounds great Sian! You are organising your life and planning, which is good.
All the best and lots of love
Movie night is always fun, even when the movie turns out to be a dud. You sound like you are on a good path right now Sian. You really do seem to be making some wonderful lemonade with those lemons life threw at you. I’m so glad you have come out your terrible experience ready to take on the FET with a positive attitude!
I LOVE entertaining Sian, I get so carried away with the finer details. Enjoy it!
We used to enjoy going to the movies. I miss it so much, its such fun and somehow we felt a lot closer then than we do now.
Enjoy your entertaining! Good luck with the healthy eating and the smoking thing!
