I was going to post yesterday about how I was totally excited for the weekend. Well, I'm still excited for the weekend - don't get me wrong, just not AS psyched as I was originally.
My friend in Chicago is enrolling in this mind/body program for fertility that works WITH ART (Assisted Reproductive Technologies) rather than instead of them. Most of those sorts of programs are usually against any sort of medical intervention. These programs come from a good place, but I can't help but feel their main message is "just relax" which (while appropriate for some) makes me want to scream. I know there is a mind/body connection, but relaxing isn't going to get me pregnant at this point.
Anyways, my friend noticed that there was a "Yoga for Fertility in DC" link on their website. So I looked into it and there were 2 sessions in MD this weekend! I was so excited! So, I went through the online registration, paid, and got all signed-up. I got a confirmation e-mail and was totally looking forward to it.
You see where this is going. Yesterday I get an e-mail from the instructor telling me that this weekend's sessions have been cancelled. She said most people don't do the one-day sessions and sign up for the 6-week series. I'll be out of town for most of the upcoming session on Saturdays and then the other sessions are at 7 PM in Silver Spring on a weeknight. (SO not happening for me - I'd probably have to leave work at 4 to get there.) Neither of those are good options.
So now I'm bummed. I already take yoga once a week and love it. But this was geared specifically to other women in similar situations. Honestly, I was kind of looking forward to meeting them. I hadn't thought of that aspect of the class at all until I was mapquesting directions and thinking about where people would park. "People". Hey - there's going to be other people there like me! Duh. You'd think I would have thought of that.
The instructor said they'd be doing other 6-week weekend sessions in the new year, so maybe I'll just be patient. (Yeah, like THAT'S something I'm good at...) Unfortunately, ALL of the classes will be in MD. I so wish I could find something like this in Northern VA. I shouldn't complain. Some people have to drive for hours just to see their fertility doctors.
Okay - this is turning into a stream-of-consciousness post which can't be good (or interesting for that matter).
Happy Friday everyone!

oh, crap! that totally sucks! i'm so sorry that got cancelled. i have that you have to wait until the new year.
and yes, meeting more of "us" IRL is an interesting prospect, isn't it.
well, boo on the class. i'm sorry.
I disagree. I think stream of conciousness from intelligent, educated ladies who I love dearly is absolutely facinating! Truly!
Anyway, sorry the class got cancelled - that truly does suck. As for the 6 week class after the first of the year though - honestly, by this point, I KNOW you are quite patient! It will be here before you know it!
Lots of hugs!
P.S. Do you ever come back to the "midwest"? I wanna meet you IRL! (And I know others that do too!)
i'm so sorry the class got cancelled. it would have been really great to exercise the mind and body while meeting others like us, who, as we all know, are very few & far between IRL.
i hope another opportunity will come your way (and stay there).
and like taina, i love stream-of-consciousness writing better than anything else. keep it up!
((hugs))
