If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere

We're heading to New York this morning for a couple of days of psychological hardening before Tuesday morning's consultation at Cornell. I will nurse my feelings of alienation among crowds of happy tourists. I will practice my snarl on blameless strangers. I will hone my anger at the universe as some clueless jackass on the subway refuses to let me off at my stop.

Can you tell I used to live there?

Back late Tuesday night, with an update to come on Wednesday.

Good luck! I'll miss you.

Hope this lovely weather we're having won't interfere with your plans.

3. getupgrrl said:

Okay, I've only hit your site oh, about TEN MILLION TIMES today. Come back already. New York sucks. We miss you. We're cooler.

4. Diana said:

ME TOO!!! I keep checking here for some news. I think you and getupgrrl should co-author the "Habitual Aborter's Daybook of Comfort and Joy". I'm placing an advance order. Hope New York was good--did you at least enjoy a good bagel?

I never post comments but I just wanted to tell you that your site (and getupgrrl's site) has saved my sanity this week. My search term was "six weeks, no fetal pole." That was a little over a week ago and from there, things got worse.

Your Christmas card was especially brilliant because I have also thought of a few warm wishes to send this year - I've managed to hit the majority of the critical dates on the calendar: diagnosed with PCOS four days before last Christmas, conceived on my anniversary, miscarried on my birthday (at 15 weeks), got pregnant again and miscarried on the due date of my first pregnancy (which was yesterday). I guess I should be happy that it was just your garden-variety type and not the very random, one in thousands type like last time…but at the moment that isn’t comforting me.

I do have a bright spot. In my mad dash to leave the office and miscarry in peace, I told my CFO that I was sick (having bathroom issues). He later told a co-worker he wasn't feeling well and thought he caught what I had. I can't seem to get the image out of my mind.

Well, thank you both for your sites because I can not possible bring myself to look at another purple flowered, angel and dove covered site dedicated to all the angels looking down on us all.

Julie - WHERE ARE YOU?

Wynne - welcome...consider yourself home now. I'm so sorry for your loss(s) and myself, along with others empathize with your pain and applaud your strength.

EARTH TO JULIE. I MISS YOU JULIE. COME IN JULIE.

Wynne, glad to have you with us. You sound like my kind of miscarrier.

KJB, should we send out a search party?

8. Deirdre said:

I bet she is selling her Menstrual Arts n Crafts objects on 5th avenue.

The Christmas Menstrual hamster now sings your favourite holiday tunes!

"I Saw Three Sperm Come Sailing In on Ovulation day in the Morning..."

"Oh Ovaries, Oh Ovaries, of all the eggs most lovely..."

"Oh Come All Ye Menstrual, Painful and Acerbic"

9. KJB said:

Deirdre...HAHAHAH I actually have Oh Come All Ye Menstrual stuck in my head now.

getupgrrl...I thought you guys phoned or something, I was looking to you for reassurance. Now I'm scared!

10. getupgrrl said:

By the way, I like Diana's day planner idea. We can integrate Deirdre's holiday music into it somehow. That music needs to reach the public!

KJB, we probably should start phoning. Then again, I don't want her to take out another restraining order against me.

11. Julie said:

Call off your dogs, women, I'm here!

Frantically trying to contextualize, but here.

Thank you for looking out for me. Wynne, your angels can beat up my angels any old day of the week.

12. Michele said:

Man, I feel like a stalker. I check in here several times an hour to see if she is back. Come on, Julie! Can you hear us chanting your name, "Julie, Julie, Julie, Julie."

13. Michele said:

Yay!!!!
