Vancouver, Day 7...And I Start Lupron Today!
Vancouver buildings at night...
Happy Friday Everyone!
We're spending the next few days in Vancouver, a city I haven't been to since I was a teenager. It's spectacularly beautiful up here, so lush and green and mountains and water everywhere and in the city itself has such beautiful architecture, such an interesting mix of old and new buildings.
Drove up from Seattle yesterday with my husband and his best friend, checked into our downtown hotel, and then spent the rest of the afternoon/evening wandering around a few sections of the city. We:
- Browsed in an Indian art gallery, where there was a bird mask I really wanted to buy--red and white and black with a big beak and a tongue sticking out and a raffia-like substance for hair--my husband said it was too scary (and too expensive)
- Checked out the incredibly cool furniture in the sleek modern furniture stores in the Gastown neighborhood
- Watched the old-fashioned grandfather-like steam-powered clock that chimed on the quarter hour...so charming...
- Had beers at a little Irish Pub with big, comfortable, cushion-y chairs...it was like sitting in someone's living room...lovely...
- Ate what was seriously one of the best meals of my life at Nuba, Lebanese cuisine in this hip little underground space. I want to go back, but it would be a shame not to explore more of Vancouver's restaurants...
And in fertility-related news...I've been doing OK on the hormones in the birth control pills I'm taking, although earlier in the week I puked for no reason (probably unrelated, but on the other hand, I never puke) and I've been feeling a little moody (not too bad) and worn down (not sleeping great...also probably unrelated). AND, today I start Lupron shots! Not looking forward to those, but it's one step closer to the transfer...
Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!
