Thanks @BusinessWife I think there are a lot of us who need to do this today
1. Our new pellet stove is making these chilly mornings a lot more bearable. 2. Even though I have to work a full 5 days this week, they are easy days, so coming in isn't as bad as it usually is. 3. I have delicious leftovers for lunch. 4. 3 paychecks in December!!! 5. My H's busy season at work is over soon, so then we'll get to go back home to visit our friends and family! Is it bad I only make it to about here before starting to struggle to be positive? 6. No pregnancy Christmas card announcements so far this year! 7. After being pretty diligent for a few weeks with diet and exercise, my fat pants aren't as tight as they have been recently. 8. I've been successful in cutting way down on alcohol. (Haha, typing it out like that makes it seem like I had a drinking problem. FTR, I didn't ) 9. I'm always thankful for the health and happiness of my friends and family. 10. It's almost 2017. Let's put a lid on 2016 and lock it up.
@RedBreast35 of Course! We all need a shot of positivity from time to time... on the reg, really! ;) Congrats on the success of your weight-loss efforts! Every NSV is a *step in the right direction. :)
@BusinessWife The pics from your property are always so gorgeous. Thank you!
@Redbreast35 You are making a lot of progress -- nice work!
1. My MRI results came back and everything looks normal! I do indeed have a left ovary! No masses, not even any visible (meaning large) endometriosis. What a relief.
2. This is ridiculous because nothing has actually changed, but knowing that my MRI was all clear makes me really hopeful for this cycle. I'm pretty sure I O'd yesterday so here's hoping.
3. I've been listening to Pandora all morning and it has been great song after great song. Thanks, Pandora!
4. My parents' dog is so cute and does so many funny things. I love having a dog around, even if it's temporary.
5. DH and I are going out to lunch today with my brother at a new restaurant we've never been to before.
6. I'm working tomorrow then I'm off until December 28. Woohoo!
7. It is so nice to have a week to spend with my parents since we see them so infrequently. I am so grateful for their support and kindness, plus it's so relaxing to stay at their house.
8. My parents told us they're giving us money for Christmas. DH and I agreed it was going straight into the "just in case we have to do IVF" fund.
9. We've been watching the TV show People of Earth with my parents and it's really funny!
10. I'm grateful to have a relaxing holiday ahead of us in the coming week. I know how easily this time of year can get out of control so having time to relax and be with my family is such a wonderful experience.
1. My boss gave me a nice holiday card today telling me I was amazing (cue the "awwwwws") with a giftcard to Cheesecake Factory
2. One more day of work then it's vacation!
3. I held my ground today and said "no"...this is a major accomplishment for me
4. All my Christmas shopping is done.
5. I had Panera for lunch and it was delicious
6. My bff gave me the best mug today that says something about surviving another meeting that could have been an email (someone posted this as a meme the other day I think!)
7. She also told me about a job in her department that I should consider...mulling it over.
8. We saw Doctor Strange this weekend and it was pretty awesome
9. I get to see my family at the end of the week!
10. I get to see my nephew who is 2 yrs old for the first time since he was six months old (it's a long story for another day)
1. My husband, he is my rock...especially the past two weeks while dealing with an unbelievably difficult sense of grief. Sometimes he drives me nuts and is being completely anti-social by not wanting to go a christmas party tonight, but it's ok...I forgive him.
2. My dog. Even though she pissed me off yesterday by eating a pack of bagels on the counter while we were HIO (sorry, tmi). I guess that's pay back for kicking her out of the room.
3. My job. I love it and it's my dream job. Managing people can be frustrating, but I enjoy the challenge and freedom of my position.
Less serious stuff:
4. Pumpkin spice donuts. Enough said.
5. My new work laptop. So much faster and easier to tote around.
6. Two week break that starts in about two hours!
7. Going to Las Vegas for a few days this week!
8. My co-workers. They got me some pretty thoughtful holiday gifts.
9. My family, who I am going to see on Sunday! Haven't been there in 2 years.
10. Facebook break...decided to cut it off starting Thursday and not getting back on until after the holidays (probably January 5) to avoid Christmas and New Years BFPs...

During this time of solstice, it is HOPE that renews and refreshes us, bringing with it a belief that
no matter what challenges or darkness that we will face, we will continue to find meaning and purpose in our
lives.

2. 2 more days of work before 5 day weekend!
3. My new planner is so cute and was only $10.
4. I have been really, really good about limiting carbs (grains mostly) and do feel better. Now if the pounds could drop too that'd be greaatttt.
5. Christmas Vacation is on TV.
6. My pug is snoring away on my lap.
7. I had a seriously hard workout today but I did it!
8. We actually got my grandmother a good gift this year that she needs! She's really hard to shop for and insists she doesn't want anything.
9. @Dilynne saved me from toxic glue poisoning by pointing out that I should just use a glue stick for our holiday cards.
10. AF hasn't shown up yet so at least my LP isn't terrible, even if she shows up later I got past 5pm.
