This morning in traffic I proved I can cry and change lanes at the same time. The threshold between tolerable and intolerable is so low when one is on hormones, and the wait between the day-before-the-pregnancy-test and the day-of-the-pregnancy-test is cavernous. It's a terrible combination. Fortunately, it's Valentine's Day, so there's an ample supply of brownies and chocolate around. I know I don't need the caffeine, but I do need comfort, and that's spelled B-R-O-W-N-I-E. (This is an edit to my original post: I thought I should add in that last night I dreamed I was having my nails done by Olivia Newton John, who was pregnant -- at first I thought she had just gained weight -- and she said that women who were pregnant should not get their nails done. So I excused myself from the salon, saying I didn't like the colors of the nail polish selection. In another part of the dream I was running up and down the stairs of a theater, trying to remember the lyrics of the song I was singing, and as I ran my nipples hurt a ton! When I woke up, there was no pain, and no theater, and no fingernail polish!...)
