I went to a wedding last summer where the bride was Muslim and the groom was Southern Baptist. Both sets of parents wanted no alcohol at the wedding. The bride and groom wanted alcohol. They finally compromised on each guest getting one glass of wine for a toast.
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

It looks like I have to have a (most likely benign) cyst removed from my uterus sometime next month. Another delay in trying to get pregnant. I'm trying not to let all of this ruin the holidays for me, but since I already find the holidays to be very stressful, I'm mostly failing. My favorite part of the holidays is usually Christmas Eve with my family, but my uncle is still in and out of the hospital with lung problem, so once again this year, most of my family won't be there.
Today we have tickets to a play. So I'm hoping to be able to relax and enjoy that.

Ugh sj, not fun news. FWIW I had a benign cyst removed when I was about 30. It was done laproscopically. I was scared as it was my first surgery, but the recovery was surprisingly fast, well under a week. I will be sending you quick recovery~ma. Meanwhile yes, try to put the stress aside and enjoy the play.

Burrell, they're not even putting me under, just Valium. They think it is small enough that they can get it laparoscopically In the office. They said I should be feeling fine within a week of the procedure.

sj,
Just a tip: bring a change of underwear and feminine napkins with you for after the procedure. They may tell you to do this. In which case your medical staff will be more thoughtful than mine was post uterine surgery.

Thanks. I've been bringing a change of underwear for all of these many tests I've had to go for, and the office where they do the procedure always has sanitary pads.
I did manage to have a lovely time in Providence with TCG today. Vanya and Sonya and Masha and Spike was very funny, and then we went for thin crust grilled pizza, walked around a bit and bought some panettone for relatives, and had dessert (lemon mousse cake) at my favorite little cafe. Even though I feel like some of my family's holiday traditions are disappearing, it's nice to shop in the same neighborhood my grandmother would have shopped in (at some of the same stores) and have some traditional foods.
