Chocolate spread on toast

There is wonderful news at the moment and there is really shitty news . I am like a janus face, smiling with joy at Niobe's and feeling so sad about Aunty Becky's. I don't tie things together well and I am unable to go on and pay tribute to either of these great bloggers and link their news into my post, but their news really touched me and I wanted to mention them.

Back to me, I am eating chocolate spread on toast. H is out tonight and leaves on a trip tomorrow so it will be a week of toast. Toast with tuna. Toast with sardines. Toast with chocolate spread. Toast with marmite. Maybe toast with cheese as we have a LOT of cheese in the fridge and we leave on Saturday. Me for The Cycle, H on business.

This week I promise to myself to stay out of pharmacies. Today I had to buy sunblock and some rescue remedy so I went to two different pharmacies, actually three as I had to drop off a prescription too. Big mistake. At the first pharmacy I bought maca because the little advertising thingy to the left of the till said it boosted male and female fertility. At the second pharmacy I bought royal jelly as I read last week that it boosts ovarian function. At the third pharmacy I was starting to slow down and I only bought rescue remedy. Thank goodness. Once I pick up this prescription, which is vitamins and oligo elements, my suitcase will be 80% pills. And then I come home and eat chocolate on toast. Well, it is organic chocolate spread. And the bread was organic too. And it had sesame seeds. Those must count for something.

If anyone has any tips for fertility boosting, I'm your woman. Any ideas on stress management will also be welcome. So far I only have herbal sleeping tablets, homeopathic anxiety drops, herbal tea, decaf coffee, my yoga book and one bottle of rescue remedy and one box of rescue remedy pills. Still lots of room. Worried? Who, me?

And Niobe and Becky's news helps to encourage and remind me in equal measure. Anything is possible.

the chocolate spread on toast sounds yummy.

I've always heard that walnuts are good for fertility, as are carrots pre-ovulation. anything with iron to build the lining so dark leafy greens, beans.

for relaxing, the only thing that really works for me is serious deep breathing -- in slowly through the nose and into the belly, then slowly out through the nose. slow, deep, repeat.

also gardening seems to calm me.

I heart you a lot, darlin'.

Now that's some serious toast creativity. Marmite? Not even sure what it is, but I'm pressed with your variety. You covered off most of the items that I tried from nasty herbs to Raspberry herbal tea to fertility-enhancing yoga to supercharged vitamins...didn't see any reference to acupuncture in your post ...oh, yeah, and I tried a chiropractor to adjust my spine to redirect more blood flow to my uterus and open up any blockages. Seriously.

Wishing you a stress-free, fertile time...

Mmm....toast.

(you are so, y'know sweet, to be thinking of Becky and me)
