Tickets, Hotels & Rental Cars. Oh, and Maybe a Run.

p.j. & I are going on a short trip at the end of May.  We are going for a little bit of business and a little bit of pleasure.  Yep, p.j. scheduled his vas reversal the other day.  His doctor is in Texas, so we'll be heading down there for several days, with a day and a half up front for toodling around and then...ahem, on to "business".

Eighty-two days until surgery and 97 days until possibilities open up.  So while we aren't guaranteed to ever have kids, we are now guaranteed less than 100 days of knowing we will not have kids.  For now.  Which means that while its highly unlikely, we could conceive in 100 days so I need to get ready.

Things to do before 97 days are up in order to be ready for the possibility of pregnancy:

1. Be tapered completely off of Topamax (should be easy)
2. Have B-complex + folic acid supplementation established, the B-complex for migraine prevention and the folic acid for proper baby cell division (need to do ASAP, meant to have started by now)
3. Have vitamin E supplementation established for migraine prevention (can do it now)
4. START RUNNING REGULARLY!!!
5. Visit the doc and let her tell me how old I am for having kids - I mean, let her tell me what I can do to aid in fertility and reproductive health

Shall I get some guts and plan a run now, where I'll have to report whether or not I do it?  Fear of failure and admitting to it and all?  I had the conversation with p.j. about keeping my running plans secret from him and he seemed perplexed - he insists I'm Furian, so when I show this kind of weakness, he looks a little confused. 

• Today = I have two classes, back to back, right after work.  No running.
• Friday = Tomorrow we have a seminar (parenting, ha!) after work. No running.
• Saturday = Sewing group at 10 am (yeah, yuk it up), church at 6 pm and a get together after church. 7:30 am run on Saturday.

Yeah, I said it.  The official plan in baby steps is: Saturday morning run.
