Busy, Busy, Busy

It's been a hectic couple of weeks, so here's a quick recap.
We went to Tunica. We gambled. Surprise, surprise we didn't win. No biggie, since my family decided to be extremely generous Dh and I didn't actually lose any of our money. We gave up before we lost everything they sent out with us and added the last 20 dollars to our fund. Which bumped it from 140 to 160.
Yesterday was the start of my third week at the vet's office. It has been the best thing for me. For months now IF has pretty much taken over every waking moment. I've struggled with stress, being emotional, and not sleeping at night. Having something else to focus on has been a god-send for me. Even though it's hard working at a new place with new people I, ironically enough, feel less stressed than I have in months. And you can forget about the not sleeping. Uh-uh, I'm in bed and out by 11 most nights, once it wasn't even 9 oclock before I climbed into bed. I received my first paycheck yesterday and this morning I more than doubled our IF fund. I have decided to split every single check right down the middle. One half to have, one half to the fund. I estimate that it will cost approximately 90 out of every check to work. Two tanks of gas at $30ish a pop, and 6 days of $6 lunches. So I'll have a little less than $100 to play with when all is said and done. I'm pretty confident that I can handle that since I'm used to not having more than $50 a month coming in at any given time.  And there's a chance that I could go full time here pretty soon which would bump everything up quite a bit.
My goal is to be ready for IVF by the end of Summer 2014. If nothing changes in my work I'll have made $3K for the fund by my onesie. Add in a guesstimated $3k from the tax refund. And then hopefully DH will contribute around the same. Dh is still banking on being able to conceive naturally. I'm a little more realistic at this point.
We bought three lottery tickets today. Dh was going over what he would do with the money, how much it would accrue in interest, yada yada yada. We both agreed that we'd start an IF charity. Give 10 deserving couples every year a free IVF cycle. If we just put aside 1 million out of that hypothetical huge win, we could do it for 10 years without any extra fundraising. Yeah. But you know our chances of winning the lottery are about the same as us conceiving naturally so you can bet I'm not banking on it.
We have almost all of our holiday shopping done. We lack my grandfather, and my great aunt and her family. That's it. I thought I was going to get my grandfather a kitten. I think I've changed my mind. At 91 he doesn't need a kitten, even if he would like one. My Nana has also made it clear she would be upset if another kitty showed up at the house. So my Nana's wrath vs my grandfather's happiness. I'm still undecided.
Whelp that's it for now, aside from a huge temp drop today which more than likely heralds CD1 tomorrow.
