up and down

Good news, bad news.

Good news: BFF is 8 weeks pregnant with good bloods and strong heart beat.  I feel good about it and am happy to be able to give her the support I have always wanted to.  Please let this one live.

Bad news: online friend with 6 miscarriages and two stillbirths under belt, moved on to several BFNs with a surrogate, then finally got a BFP.  Now, at 22 weeks, surrogate has lost the child. This really is a worst nightmare scenario.  I so wish I could give her something that would make a difference to her shattered heart.

In other news, things are busy as usual.  I have done nothing more about the password stuff but still intend to.  I think it has stopped me posting a bit, but I thought I better let you know I am A) still alive and B) reading all your blogs even if I don’t comment.

This weekend our house will be inundated with aikido black belts as we host the Spring aikido weekend.  I have gone back to training Thursday nights (post shingles) and kind of enjoy it, though I’m pretty tired come the end of a day, and hungry by the time I get home at 7.30!  A few of them are turning up tomorrow and I have cooked all day in preparation: massive lamb shank extravaganza in the Persian style, with couscous, and a moist apple/rhubarb/quince cake with mascarpone for dessert.

I have begun my Christmas card project, and will show some when I have them ready for exhibition.

Now to flop into the beanbag and watch episode three season one of Deadwood….
