Ick. I feel like my left ovary is being prodded with a blunt stick, and
every now and again the right one joins the fun.

I was getting pretty dejected because it's already day 18 of my first
Clomid cycle and I still haven't had positive results on the ovulation
detector. But maybe this weird--and not especially pleasant--sensation
is a sign that it's finally happening. One can only hope.

I was out strolling around the grounds (until I felt at home) with
Work!Chris the other week. When we got back to the building, we spotted
a large lizard of a sort that neither of us had ever seen before. It was
pink and shiny and about ten inches long.

I finally got around to checking out Missouri Conservation the other day
(same day I posted about the mystery waterbird--couldn't find it on the
website) and I think I found the lizard.
Scroll down most of the page to "broadhead skink".

*bounce bounce bounce* I'm registered for ACNW 2006!!!

All I have to do is send Simone a check, request the time off, and book
air tickets.

And see if I can manage to get ahold of Christine and find out if she's
(or will be) still in Portland, and whether she's free for me to visit
her before or after.
