Picking Berries


Well today was strawberry picking day! I feel like I always ALMOST miss the season and so this year I wanted to be ahead of the ball. I actually called farms about a month ago, but due to the cold weather this year the berries were not ready yet. But today they were. My mom and I left early to avoid the rush and in just over an hour picked as many as we needed! I had planned to deal with them tomorrow and spend today focusing on my final paper (which I NEED to get done), but they were quite ripe and once I had washed them, I decided I might as well just make jam today. And jam making lead to pie making... Let's just say, it ended up being a FULL day of work in the kitchen. I'm glad it's done though, but now it's the end of the day and I am tired and didn't get nearly as much done as I would have like to on my paper. But there's always tomorrow!

Oh, and in other news, I started clomid today. So that's that. I don't feel any different yet, but I'm kind of scared of side effects and worrying every little symptom to death. The only thing I have felt today is a bit dizzy and out of it. But I think that may also be due to the lack of sleep/too much work/stress/busyness of the last few weeks. *Breathe* Time to settle and relax and let this body become a sanctuary ready to host another living being!
