R/R: Meeting up with some friends tonight for dinner. I haven’t seen them in months so it will be great to catch up. We’re going to the Cheesecake Factory and their strawberry martini is probably my favorite drink ever so I’m excited about that too!
R/R: Nothing major....starting to look for my usual "week before AF" symptoms but also trying not to think about it. I'm boring today! I think I'm getting a little headache but I'm excited for my barre class tonight.

R/R: just waiting on AF to start so we can get going again. I’m not looking forward to initiating sex again if I’m honest. It’s exhausting. Had ANOTHER weird pregnancy test dream again. I was in a pick up truck bed with a lot of another people as this “party truck” thing for a friends birthday. We were going through a bad part of town and one of my friends who had been TTCing for 2 years now announced she needed to pick up a test. So we stop at this shady convenience store with bars on the front. I think, what the hell its time for me to test so I’ll grab one as well. Get in, pick out my normal dollar store looking cheapie, pay and open it up to find out there is a needle and a test.... so apparently it was a blood draw test! I said hell no I can’t do this..... and then woke up 🤣
CS/Q: took another dip today. Going to stop temping now until after AF.
@madcouplewithabox - ooh it's fun (although also hellish sometimes). It's like a mix of pilates/yoga with a ballet barre in the classroom that you use for various exercises. Lots of planks (ugh) and other core stuff, arm exercises with light weights, thigh and glute exercises. A lot of classes are only 45mins so it goes by fast!
Oh lord I hear you on how exhausting it is to try to seduce the menfolk month after month!!
R/R: The big boss just realized this morning our 6-month old company doesn't have any days off for Easter. We had to remind him he made the final decision Hopefully this changes. We haven't sent the calendar to all our employees.
CS/Q: Further drop. AF expected tomorrow.

@bows22 Cheesecake Factory sounds good right now. I haven't been in 10 years.
@whitealbum29 enjoy your Barre class tonight. I haven't tried this yet. Last class I took was Zumba...
@puppylove8910 hello! I am glad to see another 36 y/o around these parts
@madcouplewithabox what a weird dream! Also, keep in mind Excellent timing doesn't = pregnancy. There are plenty of other factors, even if everything is perfect for you an your partner. Excellent timing only gives you a 20% chance.

@rikiteacup - I've only taken one Zumba class and was overwhelmed by it -- I think I should have started with a beginners class if those exist. But I am curious to try again!
R/R: not much, yesterday I was MIA since I decided to stay home from work so I was running errands all day. Tomorrow is the last day before the Easter weekend!
CS/Q: nada my temps are just following the usual pattern
@bows22 I've never been to the Cheesecake factory but dinner with friends you haven't seen in a while is always great! @madcouplewithabox that dream!! @whitealbum29 enjoy barre!
@bows22 - I'm another cheesecake factory and I'm jealous! Enjoy!
@whitealbum29 - I think barre classes look fun! I've only done the videos.

@bows22 I'm always like I won't test until AF is late and then by 7 DPO I start getting the urge. So 10 DPO seems like a nice compromise..haha!
