Forgetting the Shot

I don't know what my problem is but for some reason I'm having a hard time remembering to take my lupron shot on time. Back when I was doing my first three rounds of IVF, I was so good about remembering to take them - so focused. Now, I can't seem to remember to do it. Everyday it's like - oh crap, I forgot to take my shot. Up until yesterday, I'd been lucky in that it's been fairly close to "shot time" when I remember. Yesterday, I had plans to play tennis with a friend 10 minutes after my normal shot time. When we set the time, I remember thinking that it was perfect because I could do my shot right before I walked out the door and I'd still get to the courts on time. Unfortunately, it completely slipped my mind. When I finally got home and remembered, I was an hour and a half late. I've got to do better than that! I think I'm going to need to just post reminders all over the house, in my car etc.

On a more exciting note, I planted my first ever garden back at the beginning of May. I wasn't sure if I was the gardening type or not, so I decided to start small with a container garden on the deck. I planted tomatoes, peppers, zucchini and basil, and I'm happy to say all except the peppers are doing amazing. We ate our very first fresh-picked zucchini last night (it was wonderful!) - I was so excited because I actually planted the zucchini from seeds. To see it go from seeds in a seed packet to a huge thriving plant producing vegetables that I can actually eat was really cool. The crazy thing about the zucchini plant, though, is how fast it goes from just flowers to vegetable. I mean I checked on it in the morning - no zucchinis, but then when I got home from work I swear it looked like it had an erection - from out of nowhere a six inch zucchini was protruding from the side of my pot - crazy.


I'm a little worried that I'm going to be overrun with zucchinis in the near future based on the number of blooms I have on my plant. I need to start looking for some good, creative recipes. I was actually dreaming about zucchinis last night - it was driving me nuts - one of those dreams that just goes on and on and you can't make it stop no matter how many times you wake up! Crazy!
