@eleven_ I love your list! I really want to have chickens in our backyard. They are debating the legislation now so hopefully I will be allowed! I have been wishing May away so that June will come! April flew by, but May is crawling!
Warm
and sunny today. Maybe I'll go home
and work on the porch
Fun night out
and about with some friends last night, though going out was unwise as it
means I'll likely be up working really late tonight (exacerbated by fact
that I'm playing on the internet at the moment)
Had a good talk
with one of the partners I work with today. Having mentors you like and can trust is
really invaluable.
Mac and cheese
Less than one
week until our summer associates (interns) get here, which means free food
and booze all summer while we entertain them
I scored a
couple runs in kickball last night.
I've been awful at the plate since breaking my ankle last year;
hopefully on my way out of the slump
Got two
compliments on my dress today
Arrested
Development Season 5 announced
Found out today
that I won a gift certificate at a silent auction Saturday for 2x what I
paid for it
@hoodevil0611 All about the mac & cheese. Fun fact: In Canada, we call it KD (Kraft Dinner), even if it isn't made by Kraft. Glad you have someone at work to confide in. That is essential.
1. The warmer weather is finally here and I'm hoping it's going to stay. 2. I'm currently getting a pedicure that someone gifted me for Christmas. 3. Butter chicken. 4. Booked a cottage on a neighbouring island here for a family trip this summer. 5. DH sent me a message saying we could play Mario kart tonight. I'm obsessed and it's been a while. 6. Tomorrow is hump day. Half way through the week. 7. My DH may have found me a new to me car. 8. Coffee...all the coffee. 9. My dogs. They drive me wild sometimes but I love them. 10. My crazy cat.
1. Free lunch twice this week 2. Ebooks from the library 3. Fruit infused water 4. 90s radio 5. Air conditioning 6. The conference I was helping to plan is over and was a success 7. Chobani flip strawberry rhubarb yogurt 8. Sharpie pens 9. Not having to cook bc Greek food leftovers! 10. My cucumber plant has doubled in size
@hoodevil0611 are you going to watch the recut season 4 of AD? I was way out on the original Netflix season 4 after a few episodes but I’m considering watching it again now that it has been recut. Arrested Development is one of my favorites.
@eleven_ I’m with you on your #3. This is such an amazing and supportive group of women.
TTC#1 10/2016 TTC/IF:included medicated cycles, IUIs and 2 rounds of IVF with 1 embryo each. BFP finally in 12/2018
TTC#2 06/2021 planning FET
"Some days are diamonds, some days are rocks, some doors are open, some roads are blocked"
@Avrilmai I plan to give it a try. I too was underwhelmed by season 4; maybe the recut is better. The season 5 trailer looks promising, though. Congrats on the conference; I'm sure it's a relief to have it behind you.
I know it’s Thursday, but as it’s good to remember all the great things you have in your life I thought better late than never!
1. My amazing DH. Especially how he is coping with my heightened emotions on the new meds. 2. The amazing support here in TTGP, as well as in the Low AMH thread. 3. Super response to my new IF instagram account. 4. Public holidays. Today is a public holiday and tomorrow is a “bridge day”. Means 4 day weekend. 5. Our awesome local village pharmacist who has gone above and beyond to help us get the medication for our next IVF cycle. 6. Our home. It’s a work in progress but it’s our very own castle. 7. Big fluffy blankets and cushions. Oh so snuggly. 8. Being able to do self funded IVF rounds. 9. The delicious Calamari I had for lunch at our favorite Greek restaurant. 10. Sunshine after the rain (and hail and thunder).
@jrm_14 love your kitty @darkstar42 So pleased you’re all organized for next cycle @venessa88 that’s one fluffy tailed kitty!
