Pick me ups

carrieandrcarrieandr member
in TTC after 35
My temp has dropped two days in a row, so it looks like it has begun its usual slow decline toward Saturday's AF.  Disappointment has settled in again, so I've decided to focus on some pick me ups.  And I'm sure I'm not the only one who could use some. So feel free to share ideas. Here are some of mine:

• A nice lunch
• A good book
• Shopping
• A movie or a Netflix binge
• A cup of peppermint tea
• Sitting outside
• Starting a project
• Visiting a friend or relative
• Drawing or painting
• Exercise
• Manicure/pedicure
• Haircut
• Massage
• Scented candles

    Love these ideas!  Don't love that AF is coming.  Sorry. 
    Mine usually includes a trip to the local FroYo shop and a really cheesy romantic comedy.

    I love going out to breakfast on a lazy morning. And hammocks.

    Love your ideas.
    I buy myself flowers and have been swimming again.
    Definitely on board with drawing and painting.

    @Goldsgirl9 it's 11:40am and I'm wishing I had a bottle here to drink.
    Do you think I could get the grocery store to deliver?

    Also, I have been considering Mayan abdominal massage...how often do you get it done and have you noticed the benefits?

    @thistle8677 I'm going to post about it shortly. It was quite interesting and while I can't say I have seen physical benefits yet I can't say I haven't either. I will say I have had mental benefits and I do recommend it. Hang tight and I will post a discussion so everyone can read it.

    PS- grocery stores don't deliver here either, boo!
