It's not bad enough that all my friends are leaving, but my husband has to join in the "Abandonment of Val Campaign". Ryan leaves early tomorrow morning for field camp in Montana for a month. At least he's not going to Alaska this summer - when he comes back then he's back for good. I'm sorely tempted to double up on my happy pills.....

Ryan's sister lives in Chewelah(Micheline & John). You guys can come over and stay with us while Ryan is gone.

Kendra - When I had my miscarriage I took my happy pills afterwards (also had the lovely D&C)...the nurse in recovery said that if I get post-partum with having babies then I would with having the D&C too b/c your hormones spike to 500 times ABOVE the normal amount within the first few weeks of pregnancy, and then drop 500 times BELOW the normal amount when you give birth or miscarry. I highly recommend the happy pill route. For me, it's 10 little mg of Prozac that just take the edge off - I still get happy, mad, sad, etc. I just don't do it in the blink of an eye. I'm convinced that this medical advancement is divinely inspired! Sorry about the rant...they just really do help me! (Just ask Ryan :)
