10 Things Tuesday - 3/21

LoveInDC

Okay, guys. Let's get this going.

What are 10 things you can be positive about today? Anything make you smile recently? Something coming up you're looking forward to? Just appreciating something great about your life? Things can be short or long, TTC-related or not, personal or global. The only rule is that is has to be something you can be happy about right now.

Nice @LoveInDC We've been missing these lately

1. I got some seriously good shut eye last night (lol when I typed that, it originally came out as shit eye haha.  I'm a 5 year old boy at heart)

2. I'm doing great on my workout and eating plan so far this week!

3. Light workday today!  I'm a nanny and have split shifts getting kids ready for school and then picking them up an the afternoons. This morning, I'm working from 6am to 9am and I'm planning on getting back into bed with my man to drink coffee and snuggle while it rains outside. 

4.  I'll probably read a book too

5.  TACO NIIIIIIIIGHT!!

6.  I've got some serious TV to watch this evening - Vanderpump Rules, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Sunday's The Walking Dead. Hell yes. 

7.  Grocery shopping is done for the week!  It's so nice to get that over with on Monday. 

8.  Feeling good about my mans commitment to this TTC journey now more than ever. He went in last week for SA and blood tests, without me even asking, to see if there's anything going on on his end that would be preventing us from getting KU. 

9.  Going out to dinner tomorrow night with some friends, so that should be fun. A little mid week din din date is always a good idea. 

10.  I finally figured out Snapchat!  Omg this stupid app was confusing the crap out of me!  But I've finally got it. Funny thing is, I don't post things, I just like to follow z list reality stars and make fun them in my head.

So I've never done this because 10 things is honestly daunting. But here goes...
1. Conference #1 starts today, and it will be nice to take a break from the general day to day stress in the lab. I fully intend on catching up on work while listening to talks.
2. The conference has a lot of talks on prenatal screening and RPL tomorrow, so I'm totally going to those sessions. Outside my normal field, but should hopefully be interesting.
3. Everything is blooming in our backyard. It's so pretty.
4. We ordered those string lights with the gloves to light up or patio. I'm ​super excited to be able to go out there at night and read a book.
5. I'm planning to kill two birds with one stone with regards to my healthy habits... Walk to the healthy smoothie place this morning for breakfast.
6. It's starting to finally get down to the 80s here after being in the 90s for a week. I was really worried summer started way too soon.
7. We got a stroller to walk my dog in. She can't walk well anymore due to weakness in her back legs. She loved it when we took her out! And the stares we got were hilarious!
8. We're planning to finally unpack the last boxes in our house! It's been 10 months coming!
9. **TW** only a faint line left on hot after my MC last week. Ready to put this behind me! **End TW**
10. House is all stocked up to make a healthy dinner tonight!

1. I am about a month into covering for our other site, in addition to my own, and though it hasn't gone as smooth a I would have hoped (they were shut down for a week due to massive power outages and we were down an additional day due to snow) I'm surviving and keeping my head basically above water. And this means I'm probably about halfway done covering!
2. DH got his promotion to IT Operations Supervisor, managing our company's global ops team!
3. Dinner is already planned for tonight, it's pretty healthy and quick to make
4. We have a second vehicle now, we just need to transfer the title into my name from my grandmother's

4. dinner is in the Instant Pot and it smells effin delicious (meat for burrito bowls)
5. Got out for a walk today! It's been a while.

7. Did I mention DH is home tonight? I think that's worth two points.

1.  My meeting with my OB today went great. Going to start some bloodwork next week to make sure things are working properly 
2. The hubs is on daywork for two weeks. Which means I will actually see him each day after work which has me super happy 
3. I meal prepped like a beast Sunday so I haven't had to think twice about lunch or dinner for the past two days. The next few should be covered as well! 
4. Tomorrow is hump day! I'm already looking forward to tomorrow and being half way through the week 
5. I was in bed before 10 last night, and might be tonight even after attempting to make a baby! 
6. Hearing my husband putting my son to bed right now has me cheesing hard. Little dude is just loud and chatting away. He misses daddy when he's on night work and it's obvious how much he loves when he's home. 
7. My weather app says it's going to be 71 on Saturday!!! 71! 
8. Knowing how genuinely happy I am with life, no matter how bad the "one uppers" try to get ahead of me to make themselves feel better. 
9. The hubs signed me up for flowers of the month. I just got tulips and they're amazing and make my house feel like spring! 
10. My first stitch fix box is being delivered on Friday and I cannot wait!! I'm afraid I'll have my hopes way up and hate it all (I'm picky. This only because I am so plain and don't like most trendy stuff) but I'm really looking forward to it!

1. I'm getting a new engine put in my car for FREE!!!! Long story short, my car died on me yesterday, needed to be towed, and it turns out the engine block is cracked. But there's a known problem with cars with that engine (2008 Honda Civic) and if it was purchased less than 10 years ago, they'll cover it. 
2. Now that they know what the problem is, they gave me a loaner car. It's a 2016 CRV. It's pretty nice and is a definite upgrade from the rental I got yesterday. It has heated seats!!
3. Somehow H's schedule got changed, I think for someone in training, so he'll be done and home about 7 hours early tomorrow.
4. I treated myself to tacos at a little place I used to go to that's close to the dealership which is close to my old apartment. It was delicious and the service was great all for less than $15 complete with a 30% tip.
5. The sun was out today! It felt so good!
6. My dog was super cute today doing hot laps when I came home to let him out for lunch.
7.  I love having a smart phone. I waited until just a couple years ago to get one. It has made dealing with all of the car stuff so much easier. From looking up AAA because I didn't think I had my card with me to looking up the phone number for the dealership so I could get someone to come pick me up. It's so nice to be able to handle stuff so much easier.
8. One annoying coworker is going to be out of the office for the rest of the week!
9. I finally bit the bullet on acupuncture and made appointments for H and me. His is on Friday and mine is next Thursday. I'm really happy that H agreed to it. He's a little weirded out by it but I'm so happy he's willing to try it. Making appointments today felt like I was doing something.
10. I finished the most recent season of Shameless tonight. It's such a good show. I'm so glad it's been renewed.
