Na-Blah-Blah-Blah

This is what Lola calls NaBloPoMo.  I can’t blame her for not remembering the strange acronym.  I am starting to hit the daily-posting wall, it’s late, I’m tired, but I have to post.  The 2WW is going glacially, I can’t believe its only 6DPO.  I have a blood test to check progesterone levels tomorrow and another HCG booster shot. I am looking forward to a trip to the clinic, it makes me feel like I am being proactive about trying to get pregnant just by being there.

It was a momentus day in Australian Parliament today.  If only I could understand what the processes all are.  The Senate has passed it and now it just needs to go back to the House of Reps and then get assent by the Governor-General turning the Bill into an Act.  The legislation will remove
discrimination against same sex couples in laws including tax, superannuation, Medicare, social security, health, aged
care and employment.  There’s still no national anti-discrimination legislation and no gay marriage.  But this is a massive step forward. It means that if I die, Lola gets my superannuation.  It means that our family will be recognised at a federal level, as well as in existing State/Territory legislation.  It means so much for so many people.  It will create some complications on the social security front and many GLBT families may end up with less than they currently receive.  But it means that there’s hope for better days ahead.
