1)  I may have actually, finally really done my last night of stimms prior to retrieval!  Possibly Friday?  I cannot believe after such a long journey, we could finally be here, first IVF very nearly under our belt, and about a week away from having our embies ready and waiting!!

2)  that was really like six wrapped up into one, but I'll call it one.  ;) also post injection chocolate

3)  my cold compress!!!

4)  my Nurse ❤  I only had 75 left of my meds and so she told me to just swing by the office and pick up a sample, rather than have to go through the hassle of trying to get the pharmacy to deliver same day

5)  puppy snuggles are the best medicine

6)  also Mexican food!

7)  mint chocolate chip ice cream!

8)  can the whole rest of my thing be food???

9)  a peaceful chance to unwind after work...

10)  having tomorrow morning off ;)

@50wife right?  I dunno why all day it felt like Friday to me.  Maybe bc I was visiting a different branch and I go back to my own tomorrow?  I 100% wished someone at the drive-up a good weekend!?!?

The breyers one I started getting (cos apparently it's a thing now) supposedly is halfway non-GMO???  So that's been my excuse to eat it while stimming... but sadly it's not green.

@BusinessWife lol they were probably so confused! 
I saw Chobani has mint chocolate chip yogurt! I haven't seen it in a store but a food blog I follow on Instagram posted about it. I need to find it!

1.  Cool nights for sleeping
2.  Doggie snuggles
3.  Our new home
4.  A job (even though it's stressing me out this week)
5.  The best bunch of co-workers to get us through it all
6.  A yummy dinner that my husband helped me cook.  This is a rare occurrence so he must be thanked appropriately.
7.  "Healthy" breakfast cookies I just made with zucchini, coconut, oats, and choc chips.  
8.  The upcoming long weekend which we will spend doing yard work
9.  The never-ending stream of shows on Netflix, Hulu, etc
10.  Fresh cherry tomatoes from my aunt's garden...the best snack!


Happy Tuesday ladies!

1. A very supportive DH. Especially picking up the extra slack when my job has required me to be gone and long hours. 
2. All my family lives close and we are able to get together for birthdays and holidays. 
3. I was invited to leadership training next week!
4. Hello Fresh! Seriously in love. Makes my evenings so much easier. I think it's also cut down on dishes. 
5. 3 ingredient/10 minute peanut butter cookies. 
6. And 7. My puppies even though one of them ate the peanut butter cookies this morning...
8. Good insurance! 
9. A job that has been flexible with appointments. 
10. A long weekend!! 

50Wife

Omg @MrsMiller8588 how did I forget the long weekend coming up!!?

@50Wife I have no idea! I've been looking forward to it for weeks! I need to pull out my instapot. Any go to recipes I need to try??

1. H is in the kitchen making dinner.
2. I've been able to spend a good bit of time with friends and family lately, and I'm lucky to have so many so close to me.
3. I feel less anxious lately and more like "whatever happens, happens" - and it feels so good!
4. Sleep. I've been able to get a full 8 hours sleep for the past week.
5. 3 day weekend coming up!
6. I wore an old, comfortable sweatshirt to work today along with some old, loose jeans. That's right. I love having a job where I don't have to dress up.
7. After being on an IF treatment break for the past 2 months, it feels like time is going quicker now with waiting between appointments. A few day wait before an appointment is so much better than 2 months waiting for anything to happen at all.
8. I'm redecorating a room in my house and I'm loving the way it's turning out.
9. Funny GoT memes.
10. Morning cat snuggles. Seriously. When I go to bed sometimes I think about how great it's going to be to wake up to cat snuggles.

1. Beautiful weather
2. Kitties that are cuddly and currently being calm.
3. MH, who is super appreciative that I'm picking up the slack and handling the cooking while he's stressed over work.
4. Medical insurance. I've managed to rack up over 4k in medical expenses in the last month, but only had to pay a couple hundred.
5. Seeing co-workers I haven't seen all summer, since we're all back in the office prepping for a new year.
6. Free lunch at work today!
7. Tasty dinner using basil and tomatoes from our garden.
8. Only one class prep this fall (teaching two sections of the same course).
9. A new gym membership.
10. This awesome board and all of you wonderful, supportive ladies.

@quiltandknit Those breakfast cookies sound tasty! Could you share the recipe?

50Wife

@MrsMiller8588 we made this tonight 
https://confessionsofafitfoodie.com/2017/08/21-day-fix-instant-pot-flank-steak-tacos/
it was reeeeeally really good. I mixed Greek yogurt with cilantro, lime juice, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder to put on them as well

This is a another really good and easy one. I've made this a few times already

@krashke @darkstar42
Sure!  Here you go:
https://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/zucchini-coconut-chocolate-chip-cookies/
It doesn't say they are for breakfast but they use coconut oil, no butter, oats, zucchini and coconut so that's good enough for me!  I ate them on the way to work and they were delicious!

I also really like these from Sally's Baking Addiction:
https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2017/01/19/good-morning-sunshine-breakfast-cookies/
I have made them with a couple different kinds of fruit and they are always good.  Just be sure to bake them long enough or they are sticky and crumbly.  But those work too if you put them on top of Greek yogurt.

@50Wife
Those recipes look great too.  I need to get myself an instant pot!
