The lineup for Coachella was announced today and I’m pretty excited about going this year. We’ve missed the last two years because of the wedding planning, hopefully we can get the finances together to go and have a great time. I’m looking forward to seeing PIL, Pavement, Echo and the Bunnymen, ZTrip, She and Him, Muse, and The Specials! In my opinion, the overall lineup is pretty good this year. Thankfully I will be out on sabbatical when the show is scheduled which will give me extra days to recover.
Speaking of sabbatical, this is my second sabbatical and this time I took an additional two weeks off, for a total of six weeks off. Oh and it’s all with pay! This is probably one of the best perks that my company offers, every five years we get four weeks off. The first time I only took four weeks and it just wasn’t enough time. I’ve got big plans for my ‘to do list’ during this time off. Install new flooring in two bedrooms, baseboards, and crown molding, acid wash and repaint the pool, and if at all possible retile the small bathroom. It’s a huge list I know, but everything on that list desperately needs to get done. I’ll also be going to Raleigh for ten days to see my sis and Maggie. I plan on hunting down some antique shops too. Good times.
On the baby front, we’re moving forward and have met with a fertility specialist to figure out why I’ve had two consecutive miscarriages and most importantly why now am I able to get pregnant. For the past twelve years we have not had any luck, why now? We have a bunch of testing to get through over the next few months. Courtney has got it easy, me on the other hand, well, I can’t start testing until everything gets back to normal. Hopefully next month I can start all the tests. I’m still holding out hope that the third time will be the one that sticks.
