Waiting

My period, the most normal one I've ever had, is over.  I intend to begin testing for ovulation Friday or Saturday.  I explained to my husband, again, how ovulation works and when we need to be trying our hardest to get pregnant.  Now I'm just waiting for the end of the week.

I'm not sure we're cut out for having a baby, though.  The night before last, my cat decided he wanted to go out.  He is no longer allowed outside unsupervised, as several of our neighbors leave cat food out, despite not even having cats, and my cat will eat it.  He's on a special, very expensive diet, and I don't really want him to eat random food left out by strangers, so he's under house arrest for the foreseeable future, with only supervised outdoor excursions.  Well, he decided he absolutely had to go outside no matter what, and was waking us up every 30-60 minutes with his yowling.  We were zombies yesterday, and even after a good night's sleep last night, I still feel tired.  I don't know how we would manage with a baby that needs attention 24-7.

Also, I can't remember if I mentioned, our dog almost certainly has epilepsy.  If it's not epilepsy, it's something worse that is really expensive to test for, like a brain tumor, so our vet recommended we proceed as if it's epilepsy.  Which means medication every 12 hours, and we need to be pretty precise about the timing.  So that's putting a huge damper on our social life.
