Golden Eggs

So, I am officially going to be an egg donor. Crazy, I know. Here's how it happened: My name was put on the donor list on Tuesday, and I was chosen on Wednesday. BAM!

Although I have a couple of months until I actually have to start the fertility treatments or anything, I'm already getting excited and nervous. I like to list things, so here are some of the thougths running through my head:

• Ok, I will admit it: the first affect this will have on me is with my sex life. I will have to go off birth control for one month, on their birth control for one month, and the next month is when I start fertility treatments and have the retrieval. In that time, I will have to be extremely careful to not get pregnant, or just abstain altogether. Poor Caleb.
• I will have to learn how to give myself shots in the butt. I’m not too excited about this, but luckily, I will have help. From who, you ask? Caleb – no, he’s at school during the week. My roomies – no, they are kind of wusses. Especially one of them, she’d probably pass out if she even saw me do it to myself. :) I am very lucky, however, to have a friend at work that is also an RN. She has agreed to give me daily injections in our very sanitary (I’m sure) office bathroom. Hopefully she’ll give me some good pointers so I will eventually be able to do this on my own. Until then, she gets to see a lot of ass. I’m sure she’s excited.
• Work should not be a problem, because I recently spoke to my boss about it, and she seems very understanding and cool. She is fine with me taking sick time for appointments and such, and is ok with being flexible with my time for a couple of weeks before the retrieval. Yay.
• But most importantly, this money will help me a lot in my transition up north to live with Caleb. I’ve decided that if I do not find a job before June or so, I think I’m ok with leaving my job here and moving there to job search. I see a lot of obstacles to job searching in a town two hours away, especially with limited vacation time and an employer that does not know yet that I am planning on leaving. So while I will definitely work hard at job searching right now, I feel better about having a little "cushion money" to work with if I am between jobs for a while.

So yay for me, I’ve got the golden eggs that will make me $5,000 in a few months for just being themselves... And being subjected to getting sucked out of me with a huge needle. But I’m not thinking about that part right now...
