Pleased with the morning of the appointment- quite pleasant until I got to makeup, which just wasn’t working for me. Similarly the drive down, meh. However, I’m one step closer post appointment to some important data. A short discussion about next steps, more tests ordered; timing things with my cycle is part of what adds length to getting results.

Tonight is schoolwork, increasing fluids, and looking forward to the future. The program I’ve started will eventually lead to a Master’s degree in Public Interest Technologies. I can be anywhere to complete it, and it’s flexible enough to accommodate part time, full time, or even breaks as work and baby require. The question of legacy comes back. What am I building for myself? For the baby? For others? I’m still looking forward to adding in more real estate, of which I already have some academic and adjacent work experience. I very much like the idea of getting back to a business incubator, and not just my own incubation process. There’s a lot to build from PIT studies, especially combined with my other degrees; an interdisciplinary program for an interdisciplinary woman. I may even have the option to include some studies abroad!

I am thinking about having some weeks apart from dating and focus on schoolwork, work, and other items to address for upcoming pregnancy. There’s a lot going on; I’ve been quite homesick and lonesome. I want my dates to be better oriented. More available focus, more available space.
